1. The Zabrze Wschod coal mine has about 15 planners in. the extractin,; units, with
each planner as head of a unit. An extracting; unit has, on an avera;e, 150 workers,
and an extraction norm of about 1+00 tons. Planners are divided into two sections,
pillar units and wall units. Wall units were located at'.200-meter and h1+0-o'i,r:
levels, and pillar units were located at 301+-,1+00-, and 520-meter depths.
2. The planners have the following duties;
a. Making out the monthly work plan. These plans are received from the main
bureau of planning and include a given quota for extraction for the comin
month, and the approximate number of workers that the unit is sapposed io 11.tvt
The planner breaks down the figures in the monthly work plan, form AB, into
shifts, and into the various kinds of activities that will 'be necessa.=^y.
..Thus, the planner divides the workers in the following groups. 25X1
(1+ )
working directly on the coal,
working at coal faces,
working on transportation,
working on repairs.
b. Filling out a form, HP-1. (Production loan chart (Harmonogram), sheet
This form is used to check activities at faces during the month, 'I t. :A--o
shows the kind of shifts, number of workers, and kind of equipment to
each face.
c. Filling out a form, HP-2. From the planned face norms received from th
bureau for planning, the planner calculates the monthly progress and extra.,'-ion,
in tonnage, for each face.

,plans are worked out in accord with the supervisor of the extracting unit.
ThW4;e then sent to be checked by the supervisor of the responsible section
(pillar or wall). The plans are later returned to the bureau ofplannin.
In the bureau of planning, these plans are very carefully safep~uarded.
Subsequently, they are summarized 4 sent to the Gliwice Association of the Coal
Industry (Gliwickie Zjednoczenie Przemyslu Weglowego) in Gliwice.(Gleiwitz).
4. The same procedure is used to check the execution of the plan. Moreover,
before the staff-t of a new month, a requirement plan for explosives is made
out to the bureau for explosives, as well as a plan for supplies, such as wood,
iron, conveyer belts, motors, rails, nails, shovels, calcium carbide, and outfits.
5. After accomplishing these tysks, the following records are kept currently during
the month: schedule of shifts (whether day or night), schedule of workers,
pros ction load charts (harmonogramy),forms BP-1 and HP-2, schedule of workers on
direct coal operations, working-face records (for statistical purposes), break-
down of daily extraction by individual faces, percentage schedules of extraction
and productivity of each face (this information is passed-on to the workers).
6. Besides this, regular office duties are carried out, such as issuance of vacation
cards and medical cards to workers, appointment of official delegations to various
courses, calculation of "dniowki" La standard work day used for accounting purposes7
etc. Records on machine operations are also kept for statistical purposes.
7. At the end of the month, records on the productivity of each face are calculated
in meters and tons, and compared with planned norms. If the norm has not been
fulfilled, the foreman is penalized If the norm varies greatly from the planned
norm, then the productivity for the entire month of a given crew is checked
for possible sabotage. Workers' earnings are figured according to these controlled
and compared schedules. Copies of these schedules are sent to the so-called "labor
competition movement." The names of the best miners are placed on an honor list, and
they are given premiums. The names of miners who have not fulfilled their norms
are put on a list of "loafers."
8. The official who keeps statistics on the activities of the extractin unit
must sent a written report to the Gliwice Association of the Caol Industry in
Gliwice each day. Some information is given by telephomye in code; apparently
certain statistics are needed on a more immediate basis. The daily report includes
such information as: extraction, in tons and percentages; number of standard days
worked; status of workers;'absences; distribution of coal; and status of stockpiles.
Moreover, at the end of the month, statistics prepared a report of employment
which shows all standard days worked according to category, i.e., Sundays, week-
days, a44d overtime.
9. Statistics also prepares a report on assets (wartosciach), form P-2, and a
technical report, form D-1; the latter includes the following ten tables:
Table 2. Extraction, according to seams
Table 3. Stowage
Table 4. Data on mining fro4t
Table 5. Extraction, according to units
Table 6. Drainage
Table 7. Condition of machines
