FORD LAWYER SAYS
Calls Chicago Tribune Edi-
toriaI Libel Per Sc and Pub
Iication Malicious.

MOUNT .CLEMONS, Mich, May 16.-
Henry Ford and his son Ensel sat side
by side in Judge fuckers court today
Fords s1,000,00O libel suit against the
Chicago Tribune was read by Attor-
ney Alfred K Murphy.
Mr. Ford said he expected to spend
most of his time here until a verdict
is reached
In his statement. Mr.. Murphy asked
the jurS to remember that at the time
of publl1ltion of the alleged libel
June 20, 1915. the United States had
not entered the European war and
did not enter until April. 1917.
we had. while a neutral. the right
to sell munitions of war and we were
trying to keep out of the war" said
Mr.. Murphy.
Mr.. Murphy then read the editorial
headed Ford Is an Anarchist" The
article said that Ford would not hold
open the places of his men who re-
sponded to the call OF cir country.
nor would he pay their salaries while
absent. nor care for cleir families
Ford in the editorial was referred to
as an Ignorant idealist" and one lin
capable of thought
Concluding the reading, Mr. Murphy
continued: Gentlemen,, we shall prove
beyond the shadow Of a doubt that
these statements are a tissue of false
hood and libel"
The lawyer described the editorial
as libel per se,' or libel which in
itself was libel, and that the law as
sumes it's publica ton alone estab-
fishes malice.
I'VE might well rest our. statement
here went on Mr.. Murphy, land say
to the defendant: Here is malice
prove that it. is not. here are lies,
prove that they are not
But we do not stop there. We
are willing to open up to prove that
the whole fabric of the Tribune ar
ticle is based on the shifting sands
Of falsehood, and not on the rock of
truth
Mr.. Murphy asserted that the great
influence and large circulation Of the
Tribune but increased IFS RESPONSE
bility.
Referring to Mr.. Ford. as "the
greatest humanitarian in the world"
he walked over once and shook his
finger at the plaintiff so vigorously
that. without his words. it would have
seemed to the spectators an accusa

SENATOR SPEAKS FOR LABOR.
Mr.. Mccormick Says Eight Hours
Work 1s Sufficient

Better working hours for women
and children and a broader use of the
eight hour day was advocated by Sena-
tor Medill Mccormick Of Illinois before
todays session Of the International
brotherhood Of Stationary Engineers
convention in Pythian Temple.
Eight hours work. according to
Senator Mccormick, is sufficient to
keep progress in motion, If each labor
er aplies himself industriously and
conscientiously to his work during
this time.
Women and children should have
better hours" he declared. When it
is necessary for child to work some
steps should be taken to insure his
or her education, and welfare of
health. Especially is this rule true in
the mining districts. The day for long
hours and uneducated citizens has
passed"
Election of officers was postponed
until the afternoon session tomorrow.
