Interview of H.S. Bert Jones, former assistant production manager of the Dominion Bridge Company at Lachine, Quebec. Jones recalls his start in 1917 at the age of 15 as an office boy for $20 per month and later his work in the Munitions Department, the Shipping Department, and eventually, in the Production Shop where he was responsible for sheduling the designs, material and fabrication for 25 different shops at Dominion Bridge. Some of the projects Jones was responsible for include the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the pulp and paper plant at Baie Comeau, Quebec; the Mount Royal Hotel; the Mount Royal Arena; and the Royal Bank building, all in Montreal. During World War I, the company produced shell cartridges, munitions, marine engines and boilers. Focusing on the working conditions, Jones discusses the yearly layoffs for the hourly workers during the winter months and the massive layoffs affecting all the employees as the Depression deepened. Comments on various company managers and executives such as George Duggan, former president of Dominion Bridge, Bill Evans, Supervisor of the Production Shop, Phelps Johnson, former vice-president and others, round out the interview.
