LAS much as one may hear about

get that we are not in America but
in Russia and that is impossible for
our productive apparatus to do more
than meet market requirements.
Maintain Privileges indefinitely.
"a special committee from the gov
ernmental organs have recently Wis
tied our region and after a thoro in
vestigation they have recommended
that, due to the approval Of our work,
that our special privileges be main
tanned indefinitely.
1--WE are now in a posotion to sup
ply cheap products and good ones.
Kemerovo cost price for coal is 8 ko-
peks per pood F. o. B. ($2.7O per toni
The cost to us of Klochugina coal is
about kopeks and Prokopieva is
about 10 kopeks. The cost of coal in
1923 was as follows: Kemerovo 1S
kopeks, and at Kolchugina in 1924 was
10 kopeks and Prokopieva was 1873 ko-
peks.
Industrial Products, Cheaper.
"This reduction in costs does not
merely apply to coal for our coke
costs have been reduced from 80 to 26
kopeks. Our chemical products are
selling at cheaper prices than. those
of any similar plant in the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics. And this in
the face of the fact that the wages
Of the workers have risen from %
rubles per month to 3S rubles in KEN
erovo and 35 rubles in the other dis
tricts.
Our treasury was not boundless
and many times we have had to get
along without American equipment
which we simply did not have the
money to buy. l am now gathering
together fairly large order of equip
ment to be placed in America Our
purchasing capacity is getting
greater.
Building Program.
THE programs for our different
areas are as follows:
"Kemerovo-Now mines 100000
pools of coal monthly. Beginning
with October production will be in
creased to give an output of 10000
600 pools for the coming production
year. The second battery of coke
ovens is near completion and it will
probably be January before a move is
made to operate. Coke is in great
demand and the sooner the new. bat
terry is operating the better for our
financial position. Our by-products
will then naturally be doubled.
Our building program shows that
As different types of houses have been
built this year This will continue.
A new "Narodny Dom" Peoples
House, is being built and else an all
concrete bathehouse.
To Increase Wages.
1.-THE average wage of the workers
is to be increased to As rubles
month besides the usual services Of
housing, light, water and fuel.
kolchugina, (Leninsk) - Monthly
production of coal, 100000 pools.
Program for 1926 will be 100000
pools. This can be easily increased
in case TO demand for the railroads or
the Ural steel organizations, which
use this coal for their gas generators.
The building program shows that
new 500 X. W. station will begin to
operate in October. A few new houses
have been built, but many of the old
ones have been repaired. Next year,
rs new houses are to be built upon
model which has proved satisfactory
in Kemerovo.
Good Grade of Coal.
South Group (Prokopieva)- The
present output of coal is only 100000
pools per month. The program for
next year will be 100000 pools. A
new mine has to be designed here,
and the work on this has already
started. A new electric station and
boiler plant will be completed here
before winter. twenty-five workers
houses are near completion. This
mine has a great future on account of
the high coking and steaming quail
ties of its coal which satisfies the
very high requirements Of the Ural
L
fleet.
Foundry Production.
Guriev-The output of pig-iron at
this plant is from 10000 to $4,000
pools per month. The foundry pro-
duces 5000 pools Of castings per
month for the market besides meet
ing local needs and our own mines.
The machine shop building is under
repair, the machinery is old and must
