FORD INFLUENCED BY
WILSON. GIVES WOMEN
EQUAL PAY WITH MEN

Long Branch, N. j.. oct. 24--.
Henry Ford, the automobile manu-
facturer, announced after confer
ence with President Wilson that as
the result of IAN inspirin" talk" h
had with the president two weeks
ago he had established the women
workers in his plants upon the same
pay basis as the men. Mr. Ford au-
thorized the following statement
Il had the pleasure to inform Pres
ident Wilson this afternoon that I
had established the women workers
OF my plant at Detroit and in the
branch factories in other cities upon
pay equality with the men workers.
| took this step following my confer
ence with the president more than
two weeks ago, and | did so because
of the inspiring talk | had had with
President Wilson on the forward
movement among womankind. This
principle is now in operation, and
look forward with complete conf
dence to its vindication."
MIR. Ford came here to show the
President advertisements supporting
the Wilson administration which he
plans to have published prior to the
election. When he stepped off the
train and was asked why he came to
Shadow Lawn, he said: "To get on
the Wilson band wagon"

Washington, Oct. %. Represen-
tatives OF southern shippers and of
southern and eastern railroads will
participate in an informal conference

by Commerce Commissioner McCord.

ference.

credits law, which provides oppor-
tunity to borrow money at approx
mately what money is worth; the
anti-trust law governing shipping,
resulting in lower rates. the child
labor law, the eight-hour law, and
the promise of independence to the
Philippines. Mr.. Bryan said the
president and those associated with
him look at questions from a Demo-
cratic standpoint, while the Repub-
licans look at them from an aristo-
cratic standpoint; Democrats legis-
late from the bottom for the benefit
of the masses; the Republicans leg
islate from the top for the well-to-do
and ask you to wait until prosperity
to them leaks through to those be-
low.
President Wilson was said to have
acted rightly in refusing to recog-
nize Huerta as the head of the Mex
lean government, because Huerta'
was a traitor and indirectly an as
sassin, and to back him would make
this country sponsor for despotism.
Intervention would have meant war,
and we would have lost the the con-
f;dence of our sister republics. Mr..
Bryan said if Americans wish to in
vest their money in other countries
than our own, they should do it at
their own risk and not in time OF
trouble call for a sacrifice of the
blood of American soldiers to sustain
them in their gambling. To have
engaged in the European war would
have burdened us throughout future
generations with an enormous debt
and the effects of the war would
have brought sorrow to every fire
side in our country.
Mr. Bryan in closing urged that in
playing the part this country will
play in the making of peace, that it
be left to President Wilson to make
It, and let it be a peace enduring,
built on love and Brotherhood Of
man.

 After arriving at the island he climb ed into taxicab and told the driver to take him to hat store. Do you un- derstand?' he asked. "A hat store''
 "Yes, for sure, all right" the Japa- nese chauffeur answered.
 They went pumping up the street. swung wildly round corner and finale ly, at the far side of the town. drew up to the curbing. In the window of the store was a bedstead, on which hung the sign, ''This Week Cheap"
 What do you mean by taking me to furniture store?" MT. Croy demanded.
 "Dis Hata store, replied the Japa- nese driver, and he pointed to the name of the proprietor, TX. Hata.''
 ''I want hat, not a bed" Mir. Croy said, with feeling. 'T want it for this, ' pointing to his bare head. i
 Yes, for sure, all right
 With that the cab whirled down the street and away to the other side of the town. while the taxi bill was mer- rily running up. This time 1t stopped before barber shop.
