Proceedings Against Tribune
CALLED HIM AN ANARCHIST
Scorned for Refusing TO Permit EN-
ployes to Serve in National
Guard.

Chicago, Sept. S.-Suit for S1,00O,OOO
was filed by Henry Ford, the Detroit
manufacturer, against the Chicago
Tribune in the United States district
court here yesterday. Mr.. Ford asks
for personal damages as compensation
for an editorial printed in the Tri-
bune July 23, which it is charged,
called Ford an anarchist" The bill
charges that the Tribune sought to
bring the plaintiff into public hatred,
contempt, ridicule and financial in
jury by publishing the editorial.
The editorial, it is charged, referred
to Mr.. Ford as ignorant ''deluded
human being" and "an anarchistic
enemy to the nation which protects
him in his wealth" The editorial al
so charged that employees of Mr.. Ford
would lose their positions if they
went to the border as members Of the
national guard.
The bill quotes the editorial as say
ing:
Ford Is an anarchist. Inquiry at
the Henry Ford offices in Detroit dis
closes the fact that employees of Ford
who are members of or recruits in the
national guard will lose their places.
No provision will be made for anyone
dependent on them. Their wages will
stop, their families may get along in
any fashion possible; their positions
will be filed and if they come back
safely and apply for their jobs again
they will be on the same footing as
any other applicants. This is the rule
OF the Ford employees everywhere. In
formation was refused as to the mum.

recruiting Office it was said that about
