BUILDING FORD AXLE
ION THE LINE"

PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM OF ASSEMBLY is
SHOWN TO GOOD ADVANTAGE !
AT FORD PLANT.
One of the best places to observe the
Ford system Of progressive manufac-
ture and assembly will be found in their
rear axle department.
Here the rear axle housings are
started in the process of manufacture
at one end of the department which
covers 80 days and finally brought to-
gether with other parts to make the
finished rear axle assembly at the other
end. During this entire process no
transporting is done, the different Sec
tions of the assembly being passed from
machine to machine or placed on end
less chain conveyors according to the
location of the next operation.
At the extreme east end of the de-
partment one finds an immense pile of
''bells' as they are called. These bells,
two in number, on the car, are bolted
together, joining the right and left
hand sections of the rear axle housing.
They also enclose the bevel drive gears
through which power is transmitted to
the rear wheels.
When the bells are taken from the
big pile they pass through few opera
tons before going to powerful machines
that force the housing tubes into the
ends Of the bell. At this point the as
sembled bell and tube are placed on q
conveyor which passes between double
rows of lathes set back together. The
lathe operators take these assemblies
from the conveyors as needed and per-
form several operations after which the
assemblies are placed on the conveyor
where they pass to another point where
the brake shoe assembly and other parts
are added in turn, the assemblies, for
the most part. passing in quick success
sion from one machine to another as
different parts are added and operations
performed.
At about two-t thirds of the way down
the line, the practically completed
housings are met by the axle shaft as
sembly which comes via conveyor from
the fifth floor of the building. This as
sembly is then installed in the housings
and the assembled drive shaft and hous-
ing, radius rods. hub brake pull rods,
etc., are duly added, as the assembly
steadily progresses on conveyor. I'ur-
ing these various processes, the assem-
bly, has progressed to department
where it is given the finishing touches
and then the finished Rear Axle Assem-
bly,, as it is known, is swung onto an
other conveyor which carries it to the
side of the building and thence down
craneway to the loading docks where
it is placed in cars for shipment.

GOMPERS and
BRYAN DEBATE
Discuss Prohibition Before
Committee of New York
Legislature
az Assoclated Press. }

Albany, N. T., Feb. 27.-For more
than Ave hours yesterday crowded
audience in the room and galleries
OF the assembly chamber Of the state
capital heard men OF international
reputation argue for and against the
ratification by the New York legis-
lature Of the federal prohibition
amendment. William Jennings
Bryan led the prohibition forces. His
principal opponent was Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who was sec
onded by former United States Sem
ator Bailey of Texas. There were
many other speakers less widely
known.
The hearing was held before joint
legislative committees to which the
ratification resolution was referred
on its Introduction early in January.
At the close OF the hearing no indica-
ton was given as to when the COM
mittee men would decide whether to
report the resolution favorably or I'M
favorably.
Prohibition and its relation to the
war was one of the principal argu-
ments made by both sides. Mr.. Bryan
declared that IL was vital to the sue
cess OF the United States and it's
allies that this country send men
clean in mind and body to the battle
front. Mr. Gompers asserted that in
the present crisis the people of the
country had neoug1 to do in the
fighting line by opposing the central
powers, and that their attention from
this most important subject should
not be diverted by, any measure less
vital.
Opponents Of the ratification as
serted that the federal amendment
was unconstitutional in that it would
give both the federal government and
states concurrent Jurisdiction in en-
forcing the prohibitory clause. The
resolution's sponsors were equally as
emphatic in their declaration that the
enforcement provisions contained in
the amendment were legal and valid.

The case of the Unlted States versus Martin Kennedy was called in the District Court this morning. the pre- siding magistrate having decided to adhere to his decision of last weel; overrulng the motion of District At torney Mundy for a dismissal. In making the motion for dismissal of the action on July 3. Mr. Mundy stated that in view of the fact that the first jury had stood nine to three for &C., quittal and as there. is no additional evidence to pre- sent at this time, he felt that a further effort to convict the de- fendant on the same evidence was useless. Mir. Mundy also cited as ad- ditional reason for his request; that tho defendant is no longer connected with the Worker in an editorial capac- ity and, furthermore that the paper is now under different management and is conducted in a manner entirely de- void of any of the causes for complaint on which the Kennedy action was based. The court refused to see it that way, however, and ventured to criticise AIr. Mundy for first asking for a continuance and later moving for dismissal. In reply to the courts remarks Mir. Mundy stated that he had sought the continuance for the reason that he wished the case to pend as long as possible because of the salu- tary effect that might be produced by such action. After stating his req sons for asking the dismissal, Mir Mundy asked the court to reconsider its ruling regarding dismissal. stating that he had taken the matter up with the Attorney General by wire He then produced telegram purporting to come from Attorney General Gregory and showed it to the magistrate and Attorney Cochran of the defense. Whatever may have been the contents of the document. the court declined toI reconsider, stating that the case would go to trial Monday (today) unless his Honor changed his mind in the inter- val. As a result Of this decision, the ease was called this morning and date for the commencement of the hearing set for next Wednesday. The court dismissed all of the jurors who sat on the trial jury during the first hearing and ordered twenty additional jurors summoned.

He says he is un- able to secure an extra winchman and engineer and. altho willing to put on an extra shift of such other help as may be secured because of this in- ability will probably be compelled to tie up for the season. Mir.
