That's why Š explains. It is necessary to eat dry bread on a shift, once again speaking of people who do not receive additional cards, the usual food cards, and are forced to work overtime and on Sundays, and thus to bring more food from home, which shortens the family and the children, and if such a companion does not want to shorten the family, it is necessary for dry bread to be eaten on a layer. Klíma: General, there are 87% workers who receive additional cards and the remaining 13% workers would also need additional cards, because any work they do is not so easy to get along with food on ordinary cards. G.: In response to all the demands and complaints, the general answered roughly as follows: As far as shoes and clothes are concerned, you must not forget, gentlemen, that we live in the fourth year of the war and that it is necessary to limit ourselves and also to wear fluffed shoes. I myself go in half-shoes, which are already repaired and not ashamed of it. As far as I am aware, shoe covers in the ironworks have already been followed in sufficient numbers. With the factory clothing it is similar to the shoes, there is a lack of fabrics; now linen aprons are sewn with a special covering so that they can be repapered and it is therefore necessary for them to be patched in time if damage occurs. The General addresses the Director-General with a request that he be able to do so in the ironworks in any way, and the Director General indicated that an invalidity workshop had already been set up for this purpose. Concerning soap and its quality, he mentioned that he had learned of an appropriate and cheap sand soap which was on the market in Prague and would inform Mr. Ing. Köster about what was going to be set up in this regard. As for the additional assignments for the masters according to the pattern of the miners, he did not agree with this, since our type of work was never to be compared with that in mining, even if the miners would work only 6 hours and the metal workers 1 hours. And the work of the supervisor and master was nevertheless easier than that worker. ./.
