HENRY FORD-cHICAGO TRIBUNE
CASE STILL HOLDS THE
ATTENTION OF COURT.
FORD CALLED ANARCHIST
Soldiers Testify That The Ford Co,
Held Places Open For Them
And Helped Families.
The Case to Date

The Chicago Tribune in an edi-
torial printed June %, 1916, de-
clared Henry Ford Is An Anarch-
ist." 1t followed this with he
charge that Mr.. Ford would not
hold jobs open for the men in his
employ who were called to the
Mexican border, nor would he as
sist any of their dependents who
might be in need.
Mr.. Ford brought suit for libel
against the Tribune for the sum OF
100000 and the case, after many
legal battles, was brought to trial
in Mt. Clemens, Mich.
In an effort to justify the printed
statement, The Tribune has sum-
moned large number Of witnesses
from the Mexican border to testify
to the state of unrest which pre-
vailed at the time The Tribune was.
calling for armed Intervention and
Mr.. Ford was counselling gentler
methods.
Mr.. Ford, in presenting his case,
summoned a large number Of en-
ployes who left the Ford Motor
Company to serve on the border
and overseas. All of these men
testified that their Jobs were wait
ing for them when they returned.
Wives Of the men also took the
stand and testified that they mad
received regular financial assist
ance from the Ford Motor Co.
while their husbands were in the
service.

Mt Clemens, Mich.-In its sixth
week and rapidly approaching its
seventh, the Henry Ford-Ch1cago
Tribune $1,000 900 libel case promises
to break all records for legal battles
of this kind.
When attorneys for Mr.. Ford closed
their case, after occupying full week
with the testimony Of soldiers and
their dependents, the defense opened
by calling witnesses from Texas and
proceeded to re-create for the benefit
of the jury, the situation which existed
ON the Mexican border at the time
The Tribune called Mr.. Ford an an
archist.
All of this testimony has been ad-
mitted by the court over the general
objection of the plaintiffs attorneys
who claim that the case should be
confined to the -four corners of the
editorial and who declare further
that The Tribune cannot find justifica-
ton for calling Mr.. Ford an anarchist
in the mere fact that he is a paciffst.
Big Business Blamed.
One of the witnesses called by The
Tribune has been Norman Walker,
Associated Press bureau chief in Ell
Paso, Texas. Mr.. Walker thrilled the
spectators at the trial with his per-
sonal story. He was captured by the
Mexican Federal forces in 1911 and
narrowly escaped being executed as Q
spy. During the course Of cross-ex-
animation, Mr.. Walker stated that he
had heard representatives Of Amer
lean business interests In Mexico H.
sist that armed Intervention was the
only way out Of the trouble. This Il
one Of the points at which Ford coun-
sci is driving. One Of their conten-
tons is that The Tribune advocated
intervention in Mexico because its
owners and stAc ,ay14ers were inter
ested in the StGa-.a.d oil and Inter
national Harveste ..r-ras, both OF
which have lar,C tlylHnss interests
in the country. - {: a,r This, the
Ford attorneys u r t-.e distinct
charge that TIL - me was
- ~---AN - ~ hASSA
States entered the world war and that
in advocating war with Mexico it was
playing Germany's game.
The Tribune's witnesses are prob
ably the most picturesque ever pro-
duced in a middle-western court case.
They wear their border garb Of mole
skin clothes, high leather boots, high
crowned velour or felt hats and most
of them are heeled with beautiful
pistols
Ford to Take Stand.
The Tribune has announced that Il
will call both Henry Ford and his son
Edsel Ford to the witness stand. 1t
has also announced that, if the court
permits. 1t will air the entire question
! of national preparedness to show that

EMERGENCY FLEET CANCELS
ORDERS.

Hundreds OF men were thrown out
OF employment last Saturday and
Monday on account OF the cancellation
OF contracts for the wooden type I
ships which action was due to failure
OF congress to pass the necessary
appropriation bill. The u. S.
Emergency Shipping Corporation
brought this industry to a standstill
almost The l.. n. Dantzler Shipbuild-
ing Company has two Ferris type
steamers fitting out in New Orleans
and ready for the adjustment of steel
rudders the Hodge Shipbuilding
Company has two of the same class OF
vessels awaiting steel rudders and the
Dierks Blodgett Shipbuilding Company
has two new Ferris type steamers held
at their plant in the slip ready to place
the steel rudders in position. The
ships cannot be turned over to the
government until fully completed. The
remaining hulls, several seventy-five
per cent completed and several thirty
per cent built are TO be converted into
ocean barges. Just at this critical
time it is unfortunate that the ship
building program is suspended. The
port Of Pascagoula has enjoyed period
OF great prosperity during the past
year and a half and there is every
reason to believe that this wave OF
industrial welfare shall continue The
international Shipbuilding Company
has one of the largest shipbuilding
plants in the country and is now en-
gagged in constructing number of
wooden vessels and steel steamships
This corporation is interested in
Italian commerce and there is no doubt
that Pascagoula, which has been select
ed as the Gulf terminus for its ships
and rail connections, is destined to
grow in population and become busy
maritime port.
