The Criminal Activity of the c. C. of
the Industrial Party to Cause an
Economic Crisis in 1880.

It is now necessary to consider the role
played by the work of the accused and its
influence on the development OF the crisis.
Ramzin gives the following information
concerning the general work which had pre-
coded the setting up of the special task of
causing a crisis in 1880:
"The fundamental and general aim for all
branches of industry was above all to limit
the tempo of their development. Further
the following measures were decided upon
at tn sessions of the Central Committee and
at meetings OF individual groups of the Or
ganization:
81. Metailurgical Industry (a) to reduce
the tempo of development. This is made
particularly clear by a comparison of the old
Five-Year Plan which was set up under the
influence of the Central Committee and
stipulated the figure at million tons of
cast iron, with the last Five Year Plan with
/ million tons, l. e. the old Five-Year Plan
was two and half times smaller; Cb) lack
of agreement between the assortment of
metals and the demand; (e) a disproportion
between the production and the demand for
certain metal commodities; I'D the holding
up of building work and work for the ex-
tension of the factories and the coking
plants.
SO. Textile Industry (a) a slow tempo
Of development; (b) the building of new
factories without proper supply of raw
materials; (c) disproportion between the
supplies Of and the demand for certain war
materials; Cd delays in the introduction of
new textiles.
So. Peoples Commissariat for Ways and
Communications. (a) incorrect and irrational
usage of the rolling stock and the locomo-
tives; CD the rendering of effective locomo-
tives useless; tc) the holding up of the de-
velopment of the carrying capacity of the
most important lines for instance Don Basin
to Moscow, Kusnetz Basin to the Urals. The
fuel supply to be endangered also; CD de-,
spite the inevitabifty of an acute shortage
of coal for fuel in the Don Basin, measures
to be taken to place locomotives in readiness
for the consumption of this coal, although
this question is one of the most important in
the whole complex of fuel problems; (e) no
work for the improvement of the economic
consumption of fuel in the locomotives by the
planning and construction of new types; ~
considerable tagging behind in the develop
ment of the oil fleet which represents one
Of the weakest points in the oil supply.
= "A. The Oil Industry ta) slowing down
of the tempo of development by the limita-
ton of boring operations; Ob) considerable
tagging behind of the experimental boring,
which is at the same time factor In the
slowing down of the development of oil pro-
ductfon and also the inevitably increasing
number Of empty shafts; Gel incorrect utili-
zation of the oil gases; I'd, slow tempo Of
the building Of pipe lines: fe) slowing down
of the development of rational oil line equip
ment and as result yield of inferior as
scrtments of oil products; ~ considerable
delays in the developing of the cracking
Dlants.
g. The Ciol Mining Industry. ta) con-
siderable reduction Of the tempo OF produc-
don IN an districts. but particularly in
Moscow and the Kusnetz ~ Vim; d, con-
