Produce More Coal for the Revolution

Abstract

Abstract Our mine has been operating for half a century. In 1962, when influenced by the revisionist line, some alleged that the mine shafts were on the verge of decline. The daily output of the whole mine would go down by 1,000 tons every year, and it would come to a shutdown in the seventies. The allegation frustrated the revolutionary initiative of the staff and workers and caused the coal output to fall off year after year. Since the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, staff and workers of the whole mine, guided by Chairman Mao's revolutionary line, have grasped revolution and promoted production. Their spiritual outlook has undergone a great change, and the old mine has been revitalized by the youthful spirit of revolution. The state plan has been exceeded for eight years in a row, with increased output amounting to more than a million tons annually, as much as that of a large-sized mine shaft. The Campaign to Criticize Lin Piao and Confucius initiated another new phase. The current output of the T'ang-chia-chuang Mine doubles that of 1965.
