THE FORD PHILOSOPHY.

Everybody admits Henry Ford's generosity in
proportion, and promising to split his $20,000,000
profits with these employees.
are many reasons for thinking that ii will not turn
out satisfactorily.
Socialist leaders in Detroit are telling the Ford
employees that the boss is I trying to buy them up soul
and body and rivet upon them the chains of c~apitaIistic
servitude. .
Buyers of autos are shocked at the exposure Of the
vast profits of the manufacturers and dealers that The
benevolent Henry had better cut the price Of his ma
chine in two in the middle.
That last criticism is not well founded. Ford claims
he is going to build 100000 cars in 1914 and in order
to make twenty million dollars it will only be neces-
sary to get a clear profit Of 800 per ear above cost Of
Labor, materials, freight, commissions and other ex-
penses.
That wouldn't seem to be an extravagant profit,
although when that 800 profit is multiplied "a times
every hour, day and night, for twelve months II rolls
up q big wad of money. However, Henry Ford has
made a contribution to the philosophy of trade and
manufacture that will serve to draw us toward a
peaceahle settlement Of the existing controversy be-
tween capital and labor and the buying public.-Web-

CRAWFORD'S ALLIANCE WITH THE RATLROAD
INTERESTS.

That Senator Coe l. Crawford was in league with
the railroads in an effort to amend the Sherman anti
trust law is disclosed by the Congressional Record
beyond question.
Senate bill No, 6737, 'to create a court of COM
merce and to amend the act to regulate commerce APP
proved February 4, 1887, as heretofore amended, and
for other purposes was introduced by Senator Elk
ms Of West Virginia. 1t was essentially a bill de-
sired by the railroad interests. They wanted exemp-
lions from the operation of the antitrust law and the
power to make rates and agreements and to put them
into effect before approved by the interstate commerce
commission. The phrase, "and for other purposes -
covered a multitude of sins
In substantially all Of the roll calls during the pro-
tracted discussion of this bill, upon all material points
affecting the interests of the railway companies, Sen
ator Crawford's name was invariably linked with those
Of Elkins, Guggenhesm, Lorimer, Depew, Oliver, AID
rich and Warren, while on the opposite side were ar
rayed such names as LaFollette, Dolliver, Cummins,
Nelson, Clapp, Dixon, Beveridge, Bristow and Borah.
The country was just awakening to the Importance
Of the Sherman law; the government was beginning
to force prosecutions under it; the railroad companies
saw the impending danger; the battle was ON between
the people and the corporations. Crawford proposed
an amendment (Which was promptly accepted by the
railroad senator, Elkins $50 cunningly drawn that, if
adopted, it would have taken the very life out Of the
Sherman law. Soon the battle ragged around the Craw-
ford amendment, the progressive senators all lining
up against Senator Crawford. Senator LaFollette
deemed this Of such far-reaching Importance that he
spoke for four days against this measure-one Of the
bate, among other things, attacked Senator Crawford
