Showed Profits of Firm.
Mr.. Stevenson, through the wit
ness, showed the profits of the Ford
Motor company for the purpose. he
said, Of showing that the company
was as prosperous in wartime as at
other times. He asked for a state
ment of the 1919 profits to date,
which brought Mr.. Lucking to his
feet with protest the spectators
did not understand until they re-
ceived the news that Henry Ford
and his son had just purchased the
stock in the company of all minority
stockholders except James Couzens.
mayor of Detroit.
They are asking to go into the
private affairs of this corporation
down to this date. | say to your
honor that there are very important
matters pending that it affects very
seriously" said Mr.. Lucking. The
latter's sprotests were so vigorous
that Judge Tucker warned him that
he was verglng on contempt OF
court.
The profits of the company for
nine months of the fiscal year 1919
were placed at $33,982 292. 1t APP
peared from the testimony that the
year after Mr.. Ford cut the price
of his touring cars $50 a car the
company sold 100000 of them. Mr.
Eucking said that these could have
been sold even had the cut not been
made.

Son of Manufacturer, On
Witness Stand, Says Price
Reduction Results From
This Plan.

Mount Clemens, Mich. July H.
Edsel B. Ford, president of the
Ford Motor company, resumed his
testimony this morning in the libel
suit brought by his father, Henry
Ford, against the Chicago Daily
Tribune. The elder rord was in
court. ready to follow him on the
stand.
The examination was conducted
by Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson
The guarantee of S. day minimum
wage was put in effect January II
1914, the witness testified, and the
net profits that year were approx
mately $30,000,0Q0.
Mr.. Stevenson, pursuing his
theory that the wage was some
thing that the employees amply
earned and should not be called
profit sharing" adduced that in
1916, production had more than
doubled and net profits were ap-
proximately $60,0O0,0O0. This doub-
ling of profits, Mr.. Stevenson point
ed out, resulted in no change in the
incomes of employees and hence he
said, the term proft-sharing" was
a misnomer.
On cross-examination by Attor-
ney Alfred Lucking the witness said
there was a surplus of labor in 1914
at the wage scale prevailing not
witnstanding which the $5 minimum
was put in effect.
To Keep Profits in Limit.
1t was Henry Ford's policy to
keep profits at S25,000,000 a year,
Edsel Ford said, and to this end it
was the custom to cut the price of
cars each year. In 1916, however,
it was deemed advisable to build
blast furnaces and expand otherwise
The price was not cut that year
and big profits resulted and are now
being used as originally contem-
plated.
The younger Ford was called as a
witness by the defendant and the
war activities of the company were
brought out on oss-examinationb by
Attorney Alfred Lucking. Direct ex-
animation was by Attorney Elliott
G. Stevenson. Mr.. Stevenson ad-
duced that the government contracts,
which aggregated Sl90,000,00O at one
time in work being performed Or in
prospect. were on the usual cost
plus basis. Mr.. Lucking stated that

for ArmV Camps in South

Washington, July 1l.-Questioned
today by house war investigating
subcommittee about the location of
most Of the army training fields in
the south, Secretary Baker said he
had never heard an improper sug-
gestion from any one about the To-
cation of the camps"
Mr.. Baker declared the camps
were placed in the south rather than
in the north solely because better
weather conditions obtained there
and he added that no influence that
he knew of was exerted to send the

FORD INCREASES
HIS HOLDINGS IN
MOTOR COMP ANY
Son Becomes Partner With
Father; Amount Involved
Said to Be Close to
Hundred Million.

Detroit, Mich, July ll.-Reorgan'
ization of the Ford Motor company
is being completed. whereby Edse
B Ford, 25-year-old president of the
company, becomes, with the excep'
ton of one other stockholder, the
sole partner with his father, Henry
Ford, in the corporation. This an.
nouncement was made here FRIDAY
by Frank L. Klingensmith, vice
president and general manager OF
the company.
Buys Minority Holdings.
Klingensmith announced thai
purchase had been arranged OF all
the minority stock excepting a BLOCK
held by James .Couzens, millionaire
mayor of Detroit and former vice
president of the company. Mr.
klingensmith and other officials OF
the company refused to divulge the
amount involved in the purchase. |,
wasI estimated in financial circles
however, that it would total close
to Sl00000000.
Up to the present, Henry Ford
has held s81l per cent of the Ford
Motor stock. The minority stock
bought in, included that of John F
and Horace E. Dodge, heads OF the
Dodge Motor company.
Todays announcement comes as
a complete surprise in motor and
financial circles, as it had been ru-
mored for some weeks that another
large automobile corporation was
seeking the minority holdings.
No New Company.
Mount Clemens, Mich, July il
Edsel Ford, president of the Ford
Motor Co., stated that the new
stock purchase means that there
will be no new automobile company
formed as had been planned by the
Ford family, and announced in CAL
ifornia, last March.
Wages, he said, would be in
creased from time to time, but he
declined to confirm the report cur
rent among certain Ford employees
that a 81 minimum would be put in
effect soon.
He also declined to state the price
paid for the minority stock. The
Ford family now holds 80 per cent.
