DODGE BROTHERS
WANT DIVIDENDS
GET TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
AGAINST HENRY FORD; OBJ
JECT TO INVESTMENTS.
Dodges have 10 Per Cent Interest in
Ford Company; Ford Owns So PEI
Cent Of Stock; "a Millions in Divi-
dends in 1914-15.

A temporary injunction has been is
sued against Henry Ford to restrain
the Ford Motor company from dis
bcrsing and investing surplus profits
that otherwise would be available for
dividends. The plaintiffs John F.
Dodge and Horace E. Dodge, Ford
stockholders and also owners of the
Dodge Bros. Motor company, want the
accommodating Of millions Of dollars
distributed among stockholders in spe-
cial dividends. According to the
Dodge complaint, the cause Of the writ
Of injunction was the declaration by
Mr.. Ford at the end Of the last fiscal
year that no special dividends would
be declared by the company and that
the surplus earnings would be used to
etxend the business of the company.
One Years Distribution.
From January /, 1914 to October,
1915, special dividends aggregatine
$34 100000 were distributed among
stockholders in addition to the regu-
lar monthly dividend of five per cent.
Though the earnings Of the company
for the year ending July 81, 1916,
were $60,000,000 the declaration was
made that no dividends would be made
then or in the future.
The announced intention Of Mr..
Ford to engage in a multiplicity Of I'M
dertakings was declared to endanger
the interests of stockholders. "In the
face of the increased cost of labor and
material and the uncertain conditions
that will prevail in the business world
at the termination of the war; the
bill reads, "the policy is reckless in
the extreme.
Object to INVESTMENTS.
It is declared that Mr.. Ford intends
to invest millions in iron ore mines
in Michigan and Minnesota; to build
ships to transport ore to shelters and
to build steel manufacturing plants,
thereby depriving stockholders Of rea-
sonable returns on their investment.
Mr.. Ford owns So per cent of the
stock Of the Ford Motor company,
which gives him control. Dodge Bros,
between them, own one-tenth OF the
Ford stock. They allege that they
have not been able to secure an in
terview with Mr.. Ford to discuss the
situation. They ask that receiver
be appointed if necessary.
Ford Denies Recklessness.
Henry Ford, in a statement made
public in Detroit recently, denied that
his plans for greatly expanding the
Ford Motor Car company's business
could be considered "reckless and UNI
WISE" His statement was in reply
to the temporary injunction which
Horace and John F. Dodge, automo-
bile manufacturers, obtained against
the Ford company.
Mr.. Ford asserted in his statement
that the keynote of his COM
pany's success has been its ability to
sell a tremendous number of automo-
biles at a small margin of profit on
each car. This idea, he said, was to
be carried out in his expansion plan
Speaking of the Dodge Brothers as
sertion that the proposed plan would
bring financial injury to them, Mr..
Ford said:
"They own 10 per cent of the stock
and own about So per cent. l can It
injure them $40 worth without at the
same time injuring myself $685."

From the City Of Mexico came the
