The Ford Kind of Anarchy.

Henry Ford the witness stand in his
damage suit against the Chicago Tribune yes
terday. AS was to have been expected, the de-
Tense did not get great deal Of comfort out
of his testimony. 1t did not bear out the state
ment over (which the action was started. that
the Detroit manufacturer is an anarchist and
sought TO hinder the war program of the
country.
The truth is that the Ford factories were
big assets to the war department. Take the
matter OF cylinders for the Liberty motor,
alone. When this motor was designed the CYL
inders were first made in the east at cost to
the government of s19 each. The Ford people
took contract to make 100000 of them at
1925 each. The company proceeded to design
jigs and dies and the cylinders were forged.
When this contract was completed the Ford
people received another contract at $8.25. The
firm returned the contract and stated that the
price should be IS, which would let the com
pany out in spite OF the fact that labor and
material had rapidly risen. The cost of the
changes and extra equipment was charged of
in the first contract.
At the time of the armistice Ford had manu-
featured $4,000 cylinders at cost of IS each
Thus the Ford firm was able to save the gov
eminent s11 cylinder, or 100000 on the
contract. The government usually paid $1,000
for caissons. The Ford firm took a contract
for $500 and billed them to the government at
less than $500 each.
The Ford firm sold to the government 20 900
Ford motor cars of different styles and types
at a discount of Is per cent off of the regular
price.
We presume the Ford company made fair
profit on all OF these undertaking, but in these
two instances the government saved s1O,0O0,000
on its contract
If other firms in the country and other indi-
viduals had dealt with Uncle Sam did the
Ford Motor company our supplies for the war
would have cost us about so per cent of the
actual amount paid out.
There may be other anarchists" in the
country of Mr.. Ford's type, but up to this time
the people have not heard much about them

Wages and Hours of Women.

That thousands OF families in the United
States are below the poverty line because their
breadwinners happen to be women" is the
statement made by Miss Mary Van Kleeck, di-
rector OF the women in industry, United States
department of labor, at a conference on recon
struction recently held in Washington.
Emphasizing the need for a permanent
women's bureau in the department, to be
charged with the duty of making continuous
and careful investigation of women's industrial
problems, the speaker pointed out that millions
of women in this country now receive less
than a living wage, millions are working too
long hours for health and efficiency, and many
are working under conditions which are IN
wholesome and unsafe" She urged that the
improvements in working standards which are
now to be found in many of the we'll managed
means Of governmental policy formulated by
women
Legislative measures for the protection of
women in industry scheduled for Introduction
during the present session of congress include:
Abolition of child labor and compulsory edu-
cation of all children from 6 to 16 years of
age; an eight hour day and 44-hour week,
with weekly day Of rest; abolition of night
work for women and minors; the establish
nent of minimum wage commissions in every
state with representation of employers and en-
ployes and both men and women commission
ers; equal pay for equal work and wages based
on occupation and sex; right of workers to or
ganize and to bargain collectively through their
chosen representation, and other measures
tending to alleviate conditions among working
women and children.
