Ford Industries Announce ST.
100000 Bonus

Henry Ford and his son. Edsel
Ford, announced on Dec. 81 the dis
tribution of an sS.OOO,OO0 bonus
among the $4,000 employees of all
branches of the Ford interests and
the Inauguration of an investment
plan whereby every worker, from the
man who wields broom to the chief
executives, may participate in the
profits of the business.
Bonuses, which were paid in cash
Dec. 81, came in addition to the profit
sharing plan which was inaugurated
several years ago and which will be
continued 1t is the intention OF the
Ford organization to make the distri-
button of these bonuses an annual
event if the earnings of the company
permit.
In cash and in the number of men
concerned, and without counting the
moral effect on industry as a whole,
this act of economic justice sur
passes anything in the history of
labor
The lowest award paid goes to men
who are receiving the minimum pay
of Sc a day and who have been in the
employ of the various companies
three months. It amounts to $50. The
highest award goes to the skilled
workers who have been with the
company five years and who are re-
ceiving $1O.8G day. The bonus re-
ceived by the latter amounts to $27O.
Employees who receive a salary will
also receive bonuses. Ability and
length of service will be the standard
on which the awards will be based.
In announcing the plan which per-
mits employees to invest up to one
third of their pay in the organization
and share in the prosperity of the
company, the allied interests of
Henry Ford are carrying out the
ideal of Mr.. Ford that labor has a
right to participation in the benefits
Of the prosperity which it helps to
create and, in the words of Henry
Ford himself, should have a share as
well as a job"
When the complete ownership of
the Ford Motor Company was acquired
by Henry Ford and his son last sum-
mer steps were Immediately taken to
work out the details of the bonus and
investment plans announced today. 1t
always has been the Ford policy to
discourage big dividends to nom
producing stockholders, and to use
profits in rewarding labor and in ex-
banding idustry.
No sooner was the organization in
their complete possession than they
began to arrange for an additional
distribution of profits with their
thousands of workers and the result
is the New Year announcement of an
100000 bonus and the right to
share in the prosperity of the indus
try.

WILL REMAIN FAST
IN THE MUD
VOTERS OF MARATHON co. RE-
FUSED TO ISSUE $4.000,OO0 IN
BONDS FOR CONCRETE
ROADS

The proposition to vote for an issue
of $4,000. 900 in bonds to build con-
crete roads was defeated at the polls
in Marathon county last Tuesday, by
about 500 votes 1t is hardly possible
that the farmers of Marathon county
are so set against good roads as to
have deliberately worked against the
bond issue. 1t can be attributed more
especially, no doubt to the lack OF
time and opportunity to carry on
season of education, and the lack OF
interest displayed by the people in
general to get out and work ana 10
even vote. One voter said that IL
the citizens of Wausau had been alive
to the situation they could alone nave
carried the election. The vote all
over the county was very light. There
was no excuse for this in Wausau as
all had been thoroughly informed,
still not 25 per cent of the vote was
recorded Hundreds were called upon
to be sure and vote, but they failed to
do so. So Wausau has no one especi-
ally to blame for the outcome but
its own people. This of course, only
means those who were Indifferent,
who hurt the movement more by their
procedure than to have openly worked
against it. But the bond issue is de-
feated and there is nothing to do but
to keep pounding away until there are
enough Disguised persons to finally.
pull the county "out of the mud"
The city came out with a majority of
BIS. Git should have been 1500;) four
wards voted against bonding-6th 7th,
Sth and 9th wards.
The counties all around Marathon
are voting to issue bonds. Our county
will become so noted for its poor
roads that a bond issue will have to
be carried sometime in self defense.
The following is the county and city
vote:
