To Vladimirov
The transport situation here is so dire that heroic efforts are required both to deliver coal to this region and, even more so, to carry out intensive repairs on locomotives. Deploy your best personnel for this task; personally oversee the work; introduce a system of bread-based bonuses for every locomotive brought back into service; restore the finest repair workshops; implement two- and three-shift operations. Please telegraph confirmation of implementation.
Chairman of the Defense Council of the LSP.
In addition to the regular schedule, please inform me by direct line at what hour the addresses in Kharkiv will be delivered.
