No Company, Says BenefactOr,
Is Large Enough 10 Make
More Than One Model.

DETROIT, Jan. 6.--"No company In the
world Is big enough to make more than
one model. The other manufacturers
ought to come to that" said Henry Ford
to-day In discussing the profit sharing
plan his company has adopted. He also
spoke on what he hopes will result from
the plan whereby he will distribute si0.-
900, 900 among his employees during the
present year.
ono matter what the nationality, every
man above the age of % and some below
1t will receive at least IS a day for his
labor" he said. "All salaried men, in
Guiding superintendent and forenen. will
continue TO so share In the yearly distri-
button OF bonuses which Is based solely
on merit Between 100000 and $500, 900
was distributed last year among 200 men,
each receiving an average Of $1,000. This
year We expect to make $2o.0O0.000 or
s25,000.0oo. Last year the figure was
$40. 100000.
AS to the effect our plan will have on
other automobile companies l cannot see
how IL will injure them In any way. The
successful man must spec.alize--one model
is all he can make successfully.
AS to the criticism that our plan may
disrupt the labor market I really do not
see how II can be done. II will affect all
who work with their hands In the pro-
duction OF the car from the minimum
wage man to those on the scale list.

THE salaried men. all of whom receive
yearly bonuses. start in at 500 to $3.50 a

cluded men who made records as well as
the salaried men.
1T may be that those who come under
the profit sharing plan will not be In
cluded In the bonus plan hereafter, but
that will be decided later.
THE plan will be Il permanent one. but
we cannot estimate several years In ad-
vance what the distributions will be.
Now here Is $40 900. 900 We are giving

A trip by steamboat on the Kongo

voyage of twelve days. The boats,
small. stern wheel affairs. carry from
twenty to thirty cabin passengers each.

sprawling over the cargo. Most of the
captains are Swedes. Russians or Ger
mans. and the engineers are picked up
in Sierra Leone. Two companies run
boats, and several of the mission sta
lions have steamboats, OF their own
besides.
Some of the boats have small dining
rooms; others set the tables on deck.
protected from the sun by awnings
The food is not luxurious. and very
little fresh meat is to be had. The
fuel is wood. and every five or six
hours the boat must stop TO replenish
the supply from Il heap of cut sticks
on the bank. These piles of wood are
made by natives or bS scattered trad
ers. often where no ha bitation is near.
and in such cases the captain pays for
the wood by putting money in box
thai the trusting woodsman has pro-
vidcd for the purpose.
Every boat carries drum. and as it
approaches an inhabited district the
drum is beaten to tell the natives that
goats, fruit or vegetables are wanted. |
