Henry Ford's Views on Labor.

1t is a fact significant of the miraculous
growth of the motor car industry that the
most prominent figure today in the U. s. gov
| ernment efforts to reconcile capital and labor
should be a motor car manufacturer That
man is Henry Ford of Detroit. And the testi-
mony which he recently gave to the Federal
Industrial Commission, was easily the most
| impressing and convincing that has been
| offered. A burst Of applause swept through
| the aldermanic chamber in the old New York
city hall when Mr.. Ford, testifying, said
quietly: 1--WE will guarantee to take every
man out of Sing Sing and make man Of him.
In explaining the purposes and the actual
results of the stupendous Ford Proft-Sharing
Plan Mr.. Ford said: IF employers of labor
have genuine interest in the improvement
of the conditions of labor, no conditions that
are irksome or disasteful will be laid upon the
men," This is even more to the point: I'VE
cannot expect man to give us his best efforts
when he is in debt and has not enough to keep
his family on.'
Naturally, some of the representatives of
capital and large employers present at the
session were curious to know whether this
distribution in one year of about 100000 Of
Ford profits really paid or not.''
Mr. Ford smiled and said: 1T don't know
~" Sou Wouiu hBuro InaC out, hQEtN90r, tn0ro
has been an increase of between % and 20 per
cent. efficiency since the Inauguration of the
$5-a-day minimum wage, and the proft-shar-
ing plan"
1t Is interesting to see how that estimate of
the increased efficiently, between Is and 20
per cent" is born out in the production of
Ford cars. Last year the Ford Motor Com
pany manufactured and delivered 249,8l9 cars.
This year, between August 1st, 1914, and Aug.
lst, 1915, 100000 Fords win be manufactured
and sold at retail, and, that accomplished,
Ford purchasers will share in Ford profits.
To reach the 100000 mark means an increase OF
about 20 per cent over last years production.
Ford production for August, September, Oct
ber and November showed an increase of lust
about 100 per cent, over the corresponding
period of last year. In other words. the Ford
schedule for fulfilment of the 100000 producs
tion has margin now of nearly 80 per cent.
Also, it Is clear that Ford efficiency under
one year of the proft-sharing plan has in :
creased between 10 and 20 per cent. as Mr..
Ford conservatively stated to the Federal In
dustrial Commission.

DEMANDS ROAD FUND.
Seventh District Claims Has Not
Received Its Apportlonment.

"SV~tuS~ sAS bPpVh NsVsuhSue'
The County Commissioners and Auxi-
liary Road Commission held meeting in
Elkton Feb 20. in, the Court room. all
members present.
A delegation from the Eighth district
asked that the money appropriated for the
Eighth district be used on the road from
Five Points near Oakwood toward Row
landville. and the Commission so ordered.
A large delegation from the Seventh
district, composed of about sixty promi-
nent citizens, appeared before the Com
mission protesting that the Seventh had
not received its just share of the funds
from the road loan. and demanding that
the balance due to that district be applied
to improving the road from Port Deposit
to Perryville. The delegation was ac-
companied by Robt. C. Thackery. Joshua
Clayton and William P. Constable. Esqs j,
as counsel. Their contention was that
the recent decision of the Commission to
improve the road between CeciIton and
Warwick is illegal. as the First district has
received its proportionate share of the
fund, while the Seventh has had very
little.
The Commission reserved its decision
until after another meeting.
