COLUMBUS, IN. - Cummins Inc. is laying off about 100 temporary workers from a Bartholomew County plant for at least for the rest of October.

The Columbus-based engine maker said the layoffs from the plant near Walesboro were needed because Chrysler has decided to temporarily halt production of Dodge Rams.

The 6.7-liter Dodge Ram diesel engine is produced exclusively at Cummins Midrange Engine Plant.

Cummins spokeswoman Janet Williams said the layoffs will begin Monday and be re-evaluated at the end of the month.

Williams said Chrysler has told Cummins that it will halt production in three of the next four weeks because of a general weakening in the market.
