SHEEPSTEALER
Gets Is Days In Works And
$50 Fine

James Huffman, charged with petit
larceny was brought in common pleas
court Wednesday afternoon and stated
that he desired to change his plea from
not guilty to guilty. When questioned
by the court he stated that he did not
steal any sheep and did not sell any
sheep, but that he removed the sheep
in his wagon. He asked the court to
give him a suspended sentence.
Judge Jewell stated that he had ex-
amined the defendants record in the
past and had come to the conclusion
that it was not good one and that
he could not give a suspended SEN
tence. The court thereupon fined the
defendant $50 and costs and sentenced
him to Is days in the Dayton work
house and ordered him committed to
that institution.

Himself worker with the workers point Of view,
Henry Ford knows that the immense success of the
industry of which he is the head is in part the result
of splendid direction and in part the product of toll
in the ranks which, at the competitive rate of wages
is only partly paid
Hence his unprecedented act in sharing profits by
largely increasing wages.
BY itself the act stands out as so monumental and
startling that the first impulse is to commend it un
reservedly.
Other factors, however, need in fairness, to be
considered.
BY heavily increasing the wages of his own en-
plOyes will Ford dsOrganize the entire automobile
industry, crowd those who have small margins to
the wall and ultimately throw into deness more
workers than the number of those whom he will di-
rectly benefit?
Again, if the profit of the Ford company is so ire
mendOus that he thus ignore the standard of
wages in the industry at large, should Ford, the
Ford stockholders and the Ford workers get it ALL or
should consumers also share?
These questions show how intricate is the problem
OF modern industry the competitive basis and
how difficult it is to find the wise social solution
while preserving the private profit motive
Meanwhile, the outstanding fact is that, instead
OF few men getting all the profit from an excep-
tonally prosperous enterprise $4,000 men and
women are to have their leisure increased and their
buying capacity multiplied.
That is widening of the base of benefits in man
ner so dramatic that the matter cannot stop there
but must profoundly affect further efforts to pass
prosperity around.
