(United Pr^ a Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)
LONDON, December 25
The -“Daily Telegraph’s” Moscow correspondent states that a- disgraceful and chaotic situation exists in the iron and steel centre, of Magnetogorsk, in the Ural Mountains, the keystone -of Soviet heavy industries, and Lie price of the first Five Year Plan continues to alarm the authorities in -Moscow. Conditions, are so demoralising that 200,000 workers have fled in the past two yc.’-rs and have been replaced by unwilling and untrained labourers. Consequently the plant has been damaged.
The official Soviet industrial organ -criticises the Magnetogorsk .administrators for -under-estimating the importance of living conditions. Though a city with, a population, of 230,000, -Magneiogorsk has only nine vehicles available for public transport. Most of the workers are badly houSe-d and clothed.
