The production of the following new items was mastered in Serbia during
1949: apparatus for testing the power of motors, tool-washing apparatus,
pasteurizers, fishing rods, mixers, churns, milklcoolers, hygrometers, alarm
clocks (to be produced serially in 1950), P for l, viryclees
coaster assembly housings and bicycle pedals (previously imported),
for cans, "hemizol" for impregnating cotton fabrres, oil from hooves, suberite
(cork) for motor gaskets, "Mikanit" insulators for the electrical industry,
soap consisting of 20 percent water glass, linen parachute belts, relays for
elevators, cotton mowers, and cotton sowers.
Labor productivity in 1949 was 8 percent greater than in 1948. At the
end of December 1949, Serbia had 1,255 work brigades with 14,054 workers.
In 1949 preparations were made for changing to the system of technical
norms, which will be introduced during 1950. The introduction of this ney
,'system will result in a better organization of labor and in a greater produc-
tibn output.
Progress in labor discipline in 1949 was not satisfactory. The turnover
of workers was' 10.5 percent in 1948 and 8.2 percent in 1949. The average
period of employment of workers was 7.3 months in 1948 and 10.7 months in 1949,
of longest
excused employment
inthe most dustries. workers with
the number the
left and unexcused ab-
although other of
sences rose considerably in 1949.
Serbia ::ow has four technical schools for workers dth 17 department..:
and 646 students, while in 1948 there were only three such schools, with 11
departments and 310 students.
The following factories or factory installations were erected in 11949:
a foundry and tool shop which began operation in January 1949, and a machine
shop and electrical department which began operation in July, all of which be-
long to the "Aleksandar Rankovic" Metal Factory; the rosin and turpentine fac-
tory in Mokra Gora; and the hemp factories in Dolievac, Sombor, and Idos.
The 1949 plan called for building an enamel shop for plumbing castings in
the "Aleksandar R0.kovic" Metal Factory. However, Hungary refused to deliver
the enameling kilns, and therefore the building of the shop was postponed until
1950. The shop will be consti.cted with Yugoslav materials and manpower during
1950.
The 1950 plan calls for a 10-percent increase in Industrial production.
The 1950 Production.in?.the, metal industry 'is scheduled, to be, 30 percent'. greater
than in 1949, in the chemical industry 1.6 ercent, in the textile industry 5
percent, in the hemp industry one percent, in the hide and footwear industry
2 percent, and in the fermenting and edible paste products industry 24 percent.
and
The production of cotton fabrics is planned to increase 112.1 percent
plan
woolen fabrics 110.7 percent in 1950 as compared to 1949, while the 1950 for some other types of textile fabrics is smaller than in 1949. This is why
the plan for the total 1950 production increase in the textile industry is only
5 percent.
In 1950 the production of the following items will be mastered: separators
large-
(now Yugoslav industry can produce all types of milk-processing equipment),
size refrigerators; washing, drying, and ironing machines for laundry;
generators and turbines for local hydroelectric power plants, gasoline pumps,
equipment for the production of bricks (being produced to some extent already),
miners' pickaxes, corn and other types of seed dryers, and motor-driven shears
for cutting sheet metal.
