Central Speciality Makes
Piece Rate Adjustments

Representatives OF the Central
Specially Company and employees.
particularly in the paint shop. are
readjusting piece rate schedules,
according 10 announcement today.
Conferences have been held during
the past two days following com
plant of some OF the WORKERS
Thursday. Rate schedules were so
complicated that we couldn't figure
how much we had earned in some
cases. one of the workers said.
Company officials state that COM
plicated schedules are the natura!
outgrowth of complicated produc-
ton and that methods of simplifica-
ton are constantly studied. The sys.
tenn of piece work is necessary, they
explained. on account Of the highly
competitive market for Specially
Company products. War contracts
may help to relieve the situation. a
representative stated. but transfer
to war work is a slow process and
in the meantime adjustments will
be necessary as conditions change.
