CASE AGAINST NEWS
DISTRIBUTOR QUASHED
Three Months Legal Battle
Fails to Prove Detroit
Manufacturer Interfered
With War Activities Of
The Government.

Mount Clemens, Mich, Aug. a.
Henry Ford, multi-millionaire
automobile manufacturer, won 6
cents damages in his suit for ST.
100000 against the Chicago Tribune
for publication Of an editorial
headed Ford Is an Anarchist"
\ jury in Judge James fuckers
court returned that verdict tonight
after deliberating eleven hours and
twenty minutes.
The case against the Solomon News
Company. co-defendant in the suit,
was dismissed on instructions Of Judge
Tucker. who held that the news COM
panv acted as distributing agents only
and circulated the issue Of the Tribune
containing the objectiOnaI editorial
without knowledge of its contents
The editorial upon which Ford based
his suit was published in the Tribune
June .. 1916. The editorial attacked
Ford's alleged paciism, stressing his
pre-war and undergraduates activi-
ties and his reported opposition to an
American invasion of Mexico.
Hearing of the case was first set for
Chicago. but Ford's attorneys sue
ceeded in securing a change of venue
and the case was placed in the Michi-
gan court.
Three Months Battle.
For the past three months the
legal fight was waged without a
Iet-up. Attorneys for the defense
attempted to show that Ford inter
f,rred with governmental activities
and that. contrary to reports, he
had refused to give returned mill
tismcn their former positions in his
factory. Witnesses for the plaintiff
testified that these men were not
Only re-cmpIo,.d on their return
from the border but that their fami-
lies in many Instances were pro-
vtdod for by Ford during their time
OF service
During the last fcw weeks Of the
legal struggle. the fight centered
upon the definition Of the word
Anarchist" In his charge to the
jury. judge James Tucker read 10
less than fifteen definitions Of the
word. He told the jurymen that
the Tribune was at liberty to criti-
else a man OF Ford's standing. but
