OIdCO uedVy INDUSTRY Sucn as iron
and steel, copper, power stations,
chemical works, engineering works
and transport. 1t covers an area
greater than that of capitalist
Europe.
The MagnitOgOrsk plant built
here will be the largest in the
world. 1t will give the country
2,88O,OO0 tons of metal per year,
which is three times as much as
that given by the Urals in 1880.
It's capacity will later be extended
to four million tons. This will be
more than was produced in the
whole of tsarist Russia before
1912.
The second largest plant in the
Soviet Union will be the metallur-
gical works of NOvOstagil. 1t will
annually produce 100000 tons of
iron, 2,65O,000 tons of steel and
two millions tons of rolled iron.
The largest plant now existing in
the Urals produced in 1880 only
zoo, 900 tons of iron which is about
one-tweifth of the future output
of the Novostagil foundry.
The copper combine of KrasnO
Ural will be the largest copper
smelling plant of the Soviet Union
and later, the largest in the world,
It will excel even the American
Anaconda, the Copper Queen (Arl-
zona), and the Nevada CONSOLIDATE
ed, not only in size and capacity,
but also in technique and equip
ment.
The Berenznikov Chemical com.
bine will be one of the biggest
chemical plants, of which this
country is so much in need. Ir
1925 the output of sulphuric aciC
per thousand of population was 81
tons in the United States, in Ger
many 81 tons, Great Britain 2t
tons, in the USSR only IL tons
Since then output has been steadi-
ly rising and several chemical
combined are now being construct
ed.
The Bereznikov combine, which
will be the most modern chemical
enterprise in the world, will fer
tilize 100000 acres of cotton
fields, 615,000 acres of flax fields
which will be 80 per cent of thu
total flax area and $4,000 acre
of potato fields.
The Ural Machine works, whicl
will construct big machines, will
be the only plant of its type in tn
! Soviet Union. 1t will be equal t,
the best machine factories of Eur
ope and will not lag behind tn,
we'll known Krupp works of Ger
many.
The plant will produce 100000
tons of finished machines annual,
and subsequently its capacity viii
rise to 10000 tons. When com
pleted it will produce fully equip
ped furnaces.
Our daily press is full of report
about new inventions of workers
of how shock brigades are orga
nized for the purpose of complet
ing the construction of factorie
and shops.
In MagnitOgOrsk, among tn
many heroes of construction, Their
stands out the worker Shubin, VIII
has been foremost in organizin
) workers to produce better work, t
exploit the machinery to the Ut
most, to preserve cleanliness /
the socialist city, etc. Or there
the machinist Kotochikov, who ha
been at his trade about forty year
and who is always at the head c
things, followed by the youth.
Or take Artemi Felimonov,
non-party man, working in the u
al machine works. He started t
work in Uralmashstroi when the
Just began to clear the ground fl
4 this future giant. He had I
, come to work through thick wood
stumble over stumps, get h
hands and face scratched wit
. thorns. He became the leader l
a brigade which has shown wol
, derful results, fulfilling the pla
lis to 100 per cent. This sem
= literate worker was able to pla'
, his men and organize the proce'
, of production as to get the be
/, results. His formula is a vel
simple one:
: "Whenever three people al
usually needed, I place two, but
, give them work up to their ear
On the other hand I place at Il
machine five instead of four pc
pie because the machine must n
/, stop for a minute.
, GA machine needs special car
! Before it is started it must be e,
amined. One must see that e
|, erything is in order so that it ms
work normally. The machine
= the central organizing link, b
: the people tending it are not me
accessories. They are intellige,
producers of rapid work"
