Reflections
az WILLIAM MARION REEoY.

BY Will LIAM mHHlON hGEO' -
Mr.. Henry Ford, the motor man,
who gained fame by establishing the
S5.per.day minimum wage in his De-
troit factory, is true philanthropist
There may have been some doubt OF
it before, but there cant be after
reading the latest news from his head
quarters. His workmen are finding
out that Mr.. Ford wants more than
their work and time. They must live
in houses TO suit him. They must not
take In boarders If they are married.
If they are boarders raey must be
good boarders. They must keep good
hours. They must not double up TO
save money. or course they must not
be gay" They must live as Mr.. Ford
or his inspectors want them to live In
every respect He won't have any
thing going on in anybody's home
that he doesn't approve OF. IL he
finds anything wrong, they lose their
Jobs. Now, Mr. Ford means well. All
his rules and regulations as reported
I'm the papers have for their object
the health and morality, even the hap
piness OF his employees But 1t Is
highly doubtful II he will gain his
ends. For people who work for a
man, sell him their labor. They do
not sell him their liberty, their very
souls. They may stand for his super
vision in his factory. but they resent
like supervision in their own homes.
They will want 10 live their own
