WESTINGHOUSE
CUTS WORK FORCE
1900 Now Do Work of
Former 5000
(By q Worker Correspondent

(By Worker Correspondent
SPRINGFIELD, Mass.-The most
important factory in this region is
the Westinghouse plant, mfg at the
present time electric motors, and
frigidaire apparatus.
This plant can at any time be
transferred at any time into a war
plant for manufacture of war mate,
rials. AS a matter of fact until
1917 it was engaged in the manu-
facture of rifles for the former
Cars army.
Up until seven or eight months
ago the plant engaged about 5000
workers. 1t was then manufacture.
ing radio apparatus. Now only
1900 are working. Such is the crisis
here.
The conditions are terrible.
Wages range from 35c up to soc,
for skilled machinists. Many women
are working in the plant. They
only receive from 20 to rs cents
an hour.
We work piece-work in all of
the departments. 1t is known as
the group system. The work is
given to group and must be fin
ished within a certain time.
The women under this group sys-e
tenn can succeed in getting So above
their daily scale, but to get this
they must begin 20 minutes before
the whistle and do not go cut for
lunch. .
We work 4S hours a week. The
night shift was working full force
at 60 hours. Now it's almost dis-a
continued. sN
In the department producing the
Frigidaire they used to employ 400
workers. After introducing the
group system they reduced this
number to $50 workers without any
reduction in the production, and the
bosses are trying to reduce this
number still further.
Last year noon day gate meet
ings were held by the Communist
Party. Police broke up meetings
that were held here this year, show
ing the fear of the bosses. Boy
Scouts aided the police.
One issue of shop paper ap-
peared last year issued by the Com
munist nucleus. 1t was we'll received
and many of us wanted to con-
tribute money to keep it going. We
must publish it again.
There is a spy system that makes
workers afraid to talk. Each worker
is compelled to pay $1.80 per month
for relief insurance. He won't be
taken up until he agrees to this.
In this way more than $108,000
would be paid in about a year, to
save the bosses from paying US in
surance.

NEW YORK.-On the last trip
of the SIS. Coahoma County, con-
ditions became so intolerable that
the seamen were forced to break

ship is a freighter operated by the
Black Diamond Line between New
York and Rotterdam. The skipper
is fellow named Ing. Rather a
phoney cort of a name. The belly
robbers name is Shoemaker. The
crew were unanimous in their de-
claration that it would be better for
them if he would try shoemaking in
stead of bellyrobbing.
There was nothing said about the
robbery at sea but when she was
paying off some of the men were
taken before the Federal authorities
in Hoboken and held on $500 bail.
They could not raise the bail so
were put in Jail for week. When
the case was called, the company
did not bring action.
A case like this should convince
seamen that hey as individuals can
not combat the shipowners and
their allies the Federal courts, COM

Workers Industrial Union. The local
headquarters are at 140 Broad St.,
