Donbass underground workers, such as: hewers, haulers, timbermen, drillers, sinkers, trammers, as well as
boilermakers and machinists. Do not send other workers, except for the specified
categories. When agitating, explain:
1)
full provision of bread; 2) the introduction of new rules for paying
labor with food and money according to productivity, with
the abolition of equalizing food and money allowances; 3) the success of the food
campaign [in] Ukraine, which is being hampered by a lack of fuel for
food transport, largely depends on the return of workers. [01236/k.]

LETTER TO M. L. RUKHIMOVICH
11/X [1921]
Comrade Rukhimovich!
I have read your report and I am giving you a good dressing down.
The report is carelessly composed. Why not spend 2-3 hours, at least
here in Moscow (if you don't have time in the Donbass), to
revise the report?
It is unfinished and absurd.
There is no necessary table, and the report is cluttered with excessive figures.

A short table is needed: the price in flour or in gold rubles, etc.
1000 poods of coal *petto* at the mine or at the station, etc., etc.
Before the war ...------------
Now at the TsPKP —
------- ---------
(Large mines)
At the same ones, under the condition indicated] by you (complete success
of the whole program of collective] supply]?) —
------- —
At small mines from the lessee-----------------
The whole essence is in such a table!
And you were not able to provide it.
All your tables should be in a separate chapter, as a detail
and the most precise proof of the main and basic table.
