(Decatur, IL)  --  A major Illinois employer is reportedly getting ready to slash another several hundred jobs.  The "Business Journal" reports Caterpillar Incorporated will cut 300 jobs at its plant in Decatur.  Just last month the heavy equipment maker announced it was eliminating more than 450 jobs at that same plant.  The Peoria-based firm says the layoffs are due to struggles in the mining industry.
