WIN SUIT AGAINST FORD
Dodge Brothers Win Case to Force
Motor King to "Split a Melon"

Detroit, Oct 31.-The suit brought
against the Ford Motor company and
Henry Ford by John F. Dodge and
Horace E. Dodge to compel Ford to
stockholders instead of using the
money to increase the company's
business was decided in favor of the
Dodge brothers.
The decision was announced today
by Circuit Judge Hosmer
The case was argued here several
weeks ago and witnesses testified at
that time that about $60,000,00O was
involved. The Dodge brothers who
are stockholders of the Ford Motor
Co, attempted by Injunction to pre-
vent Ford from using his company's
profits to erect blast furnaces at Riv-
er Rouge near Detroit.
The state supreme court allowed
Ford to begin building provided he
furnished bond to protect the COM
pany's stockholders from loss in case
the Dodge Brothers won their suit.
The bond was furnished and the work
started.
Ford to Carry 1t Higher.
Ford, in a statement made public
some time ago, and in his testimony at
the trial of the suit, declared that he
would appeal the case to the United
States supreme court if the lower
courts decision were against him
ers at the trial of their case that Ford
was supreme in directing the business
of the Ford Motor car company and
that the minority stockholders had no
voice in the affairs of the company.
Ford denied this charge. One of the
officers of the company testified it
was not uncommon for the company
to spend from one to five million dol
lars for material without asking for
the stockholders approval. He gave
as a reason that the company's BUSH
ness had become so large that such
transa ctions were considered to be
ordinary routine.
Blast Furnace Not Necessity.
Judge Hosmer ruled that a CORPORA
ton may not against the protest of
stockholder hold its profits without
distribution
He also held that the proposed
blast furnaces at River Rouge are not
necessary addition to the Ford
Motor company's business resources
Ford planned these furnaces with a
view to purchasing iron ore i'm great
quantities and then to convert il into
steel in his own plants
The Ford company is not a monon-
oily within the lines laid down bv the
Sherman antitrust law, Judge Hos
mer decided.
Alfred Luckeing. chief of the Ford's
legal staff, announced, The case
would be appealed immediately.
