Kharkov

Copy to Vladimirov, Chairman of the Special Food

Commission of the Southern Front

The transport situation is so grave here that heroic efforts are needed both for deliveries of coal here and even more for stepping up repairs to locomotives. Put the best people on this, check personally, introduce a bonus in grain for every locomotive repaired, restore the best repair-shops, introduce work in two and three shifts. Telegraph fulfilment.
