SALARIES AT MACHINE
CO. down 20 Per CENT.
All Office Employees, Includ-
ing Officials, Are Affect
ed BY Reduction.

Once employees Of the New
Britain Machine company were noti-
fled today of q reduction OF 20 per
cent In pay to be effective at once.
The reduction affects everyone-of-
ficers as we'll as employees.
President Herbert H. Pease address
ed q meeting OF the Office force, frank
ly setting forth the circumstances and
speaking OF the general business con-
dition, especially as concerns the ma
chinery trade. While the New Britain
Machine company has continued
operating its plant many other ma
chinery manufacturing concerns have
closed their plants indefinitely. Tho
New Britain Machine company ap-
preciates the personnel Of its organ
tzation and the announcement waS
received in the spirit OF loyalty that
has marked the employees. Because Of
business depression throughout the
country the company is confronted
with the necessity OF exercising one OF
two options-the closing of the plant
until such a time as business improves,
OF making economies by a reduction in
wages. Feeling that the latter course
would render less, hardship it was
offered to the employees ....
President Pease, in his statement.
said that the New Britain Machine
company is fortunate In having in it's
lines OF production materials other
than machinery. He anticipates good
business in these lines and expressed
the hope that the reduction would not
be in effect long.
Some depa rtments at the New Brit
ain Machine company are operating
three days a week. The tractor divi-
sion is working full time.
