Mr. Orville Benson, Manager,
Edison, N.J.
Dear Sir:-
We have decided to expand operations at Edison, and you will please make your arrangements to close down the work, with the following exceptions, on Saturday, September 16h. Please notify up at the earliest possible moment the total amount of the December pay roll to December 15th, so we may provide the necessary money, and we will pay off as soon after the 15th, as pay roll can be completed.
You will lay off every one employed, with the following exceptions:
E.S. Opdyke, who is to remain and have charge of all supplies, shipments of sand, etc.
Bateman, you may retain to help in the work of getting out catalogue. of the pulleys, bearings, etc.
Woolcox is to be retained for day Watchman.
Nostrand is to be retained until the horses have been sold.
Amzi Search, you can send to Orange at once.
Mr. Lewis, you can send to Orange and we will make arrangements to have him go to Stewartsville.
Morris Jayne, we would suggest be retained and put in charge of the plant when you are away. You should also arrange to give him a couple of men and have them put all the engines, pumps and machinery throughout in thorough condition for an all winter shutdown, greasing and oiling all the parts that may rust, with residum.
Sam Moore, you may send to the Laboratory for general and electrical work.
Higgins, send to Orange and we will keep him busy for awhile and later send him to Stewartsville.
Burns, send to Orange and we will give him temporary work until he is able to get something better, and should we have any opening in the near future, we will be very glad to give him the first chance at it.
Odell, send to Orange.
Wean, you may retain until the goods are received in storeroom and properly put away.
Of course, it will be necessary to keep two night watchmen and two firemen and the reservoir full of water. I would suggest that you arrange to run one of the
Of course, it will be necessary to keep two night Watchmen and two Firemen and the reservoir full of water. I would suggest that you arrange to run one of the B. & W. Boilers instead of the Climax; as being so much nearer the fire pump, there will be less loss in condensation and less trouble from freezing, and Boiler being small, will take less coal. You may also retain Frank Search as Wood Watchman.
Yours very truly,
