New Contracts Urged lFor Local Industries
 ] To Improve Situation
Gradual Reduction in Production Reported in Local A. Plants, With Drastic Reductions Slated After

In appeal forwarded today to all Connecticut soons in Washington the CIO Industrial Union Council in urging immediate action by government authorities in providing of ofsetting the unemployment factor resulting from cubacks cited the following the picture for Water

CTS at a slow stream rate.
 In its statement to the Connecti- cut SolonS the CIO also notes the following:
 Until such time as the War Pro- auction Board either sends new war contracts into the Waterbury area or allocates the materials for civilian | goods production, the number of un- employed will steadily increase. The taking of grave view is justified at this time because no assurances are given that either new war contracts l or civilian goods allocationS are on their way.
 From the workers point of view, the situation is critical in many cases, There are few workers who can withstand a prolonged period of unemployment. Unemployment compensation allowances are small and are paid for short time only. The very maximum payment is S22 a week and the maximum period is 18 weeks. From a number of angles, resort to the cashing of War Bonds would be highly regrettable at this time
 Talbot's Solution
 AS reported here yesterday Cong Joseph E. Talbot has set down the following three point program for possible solution by government agencies to the problem
 l.-Holding of on further cut backs for 60 days. giving industry a chance be get set for peace time production.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-05-24

Many war contracts will be can- celled and there will be heavy lay offs. Thousands of workers will be unemployed. Many of these will experience hardship because high taxes and high living costs have prevented the accumulation of cash savings.
 The immediate remedy, as al- ready indicated, lies in either new war contracts for Waterbury in- dustrties or allocation of materials for civilian production. The con- blned pressure of management and labor and representatives in con- gress will be needed to obtain prac- tical action from the contract-mak- ing agencies, the War Production Board of the Office of War Mobili- Eation."
 Meanwhile employees are being let go in local plants in small num- bers with any large bulk lay-offs not expected before July l.
 Scheduled Lay-Ofs
 AS reported here previously lay off notices have been scheduled as follows: Scovill Mfg. Co.,, 1,5OO work CTS by July l, because of production curtailment in the manufacture of time fuses; 75 nm. 95 nm, and 1Ol nm. shell cases. French Small Tube division of American Brass Co, 300 workers already dismissed because of cut-backs on small tub ing for Russian tanks and tractors. Waterbury Mfg. Co.,, of the Chase Brass & Copper Co.,, 87 full time and l30 part-time employees to be let go by July 1; production cur tailed on 90 nm. and 105 nm. shell cases. U. s. Time Corp 700 en- ployes to be let go by July l with production curtailed on time fuses. A total of l80 employees were laid of at the Union Hardware O., in Tor ringbon.
 As reported previously further cut-backs are expected particularly on Navy Ordnance work which will further accelerate the lay-off situa- ton.
 The CIO has also called for the removal of Waterbury from a No. crltlcal war area so as to permit procurement of materials need for peace-time production. The union yesterday as stated here, accused government agencies of failure to prepare a program designed to off, Set the results of production slack stemming from the end of the Eur opean war. By placing Waterbury In class designation the factories could revert to a 40 hour week.
 Springfield Ordnance Department officers reiterated yesterday that he ammunition cutbackS affecting Waterbury war industries will not become operative until June and that leveling off of the production pairing will set in during July.
 After this readjuStment to a one front war, conditions are expected to hold the line through January, 1946, according to best available es- inmates of spokesmen for Ord nance, War Production Board and the War ManpoWer Commission, the Armys spokesmen asserted.
