Ford's Campaign Propaganda

Henry Ford has announced that his contribution 10
campaign for the reelection Of president Wilson
will be propaganda with slogan: "Out Of the Shops
Eight Hours" inasmuch president Wilson cham
pioned the side of the railroad broherhOOds IN the
eight hour controversy with their employers, and has
declared himself in favor of the general application OF
the eight hour day.
M Ford IS of the opinion that shorter hours Will
mean careful workmanship and Will benefit the
employers to that extent, especially the workmen be
allowed share in the profits Of their employers as
bonus added their wages He has tried It out in his
factories and is pleased with the results That
far least there is denying the strength Of his
argument. What he has found to work well Tor hmseh'
he is entitled to urge for his fellow citizens
An alluring picture IS painted by MI Ford with
the eight hour day and profit sharing he predicts that
at least one man in five will automobile and
that, having secured automobiles, laborers viii no
longer crowd into cities but will live IN the country
enabled TO do so BY of sepTOvded transporta-
ton There they Will share the joys of country living
gardens farm and dairy produce al first hand trees
and fresh air flowers etc He also predicts that gaso
line will be replaced by alcohol the universal fuel
for automobile engines
This contribution of MI FoTd's to the already
abundant campaign material is bound to be interesting,
and it is as visionary of the campaign propa-
ganda. There will be universal eight hour day II
president Wilson is reelected, but that doesn't matter
for campaign purposes.
