The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-21

Alan 0. Curtiss, assistant general manager for the concern, said that 50 to 75 employees will be discharged. No statement was issued on the number of employees to be trans 9erred to other departments because of the cut-back, but it is believed several hundred may be absorbed eventually in other production in the firm because of the contract changes.
 No new development in the con- tract situation. at the Chase Brass 6 Copper Co. was reported today, but since the firm makes fuses simi- lar to those of the Scovill Co. a similar cut-back is expected to re- suit shortly.
 Whether or not further lay-offs will result later at the Scovill Co.,, could not be determined today. Off, Cials of the concern, including John H. Goss, president, were reported to be in Washington conferring with government officials and further in- formation on the changes in the ammunition program is expected to be obtained shortly.
 Meanwhile 1t was reported efforts may be made to obtain some of the 2,000 workers to be discharged by the Winchester Repeating Arms co. of New Haven for Waterbury area industries. The U. s. Rubber Com pany and the Eastern Malleable Iron Co. of Naugatuck are among the concerns at the top of the local priority list and it is believed sat- isfactory committing system of bring ing New Haven workers to those plants could be devised.
 It is believed many of the workers discharged by Scovills also will be referred to the U. s. Rubber Co.,, the chief plant for drawing women workers under the present priority Set-uD.
 Since New Haven is not classified as critical area approval is ex- pected to be given by War Man. power authorities to referral of New Haven employees to this area, which is still rated as a critical shortage" area. It is believed that many of the New Haven workers would re- tain their seniority status, in &C., cordance with union demands, and would be allowed to resume their former employment in the event of new contracts at the New Haven munitions concern.
 The local cut-backs are said to be due to a new program of decreas- ing the small ammunitions supplies of the government. It is believed the peak of the production has been passed, and manufacturing will be diverted increasingly to other prod UctS.
