GEST SUING FORD FOR
T FIVE MILLION LIBEL
Article in Dearborn Tnde-
pendent Is Cause.

Special Despatch TO THE New IoRK HERALD.
CHICAGO, Feb 1.--For alleged libel
and slanderous and false statements
against Morris Gest, producer Of numer-
Gus plays, among them "Mecca," now
playing at the Auditorium Theatre, the
precipe In suit for S5.000,000 damages
was filed this afternoon in the Circuit
Court against Henry Ford and the Dear
born Publishing Company, publishers of
the Dearborn Independent, and W. j.
Cameron, manager and editor of the
publication.
O. j. Ford, Edsel 3. Ford and w. j.
Cameron, manager of the Dearborn IN
dependent, are codefendants.
Mr.. Gest's said that he intended "to
make Henry Ford eat his own words"
The suit is based on an article appear
ing in the publication published January
22. 1921, in Dearborn, Mich. The article
read:
'"rhe American stage is under the In
fuence and control Of a group of former
bootblacks, newsboys, ticket SPECTATORS,
prize ring habitues and Bowery char
acters. At the present writing, the most
advertised man in the world of theatre
cal production is Morris Gest, Russian
Jew, who has produced the most sala-
cious spectacles ever shown in America
'Aphrodite' and Mecca
He is not great producer, or course
although he is great panderer 10 the
least creditable tastes of a public.
There is nothing in Gest's career to
indicate he would ever contribute any
thing to the theatres best interest. He
Is the son-in-law of David Belasco."

jority going into the automobile plants,
which were virtually closed for from two
to three months. This statement was
made to-day by George w. Grant, secre-
tary of the Employers Association.
Mr. Grant estimates that $4,000 are
now employed on a ''short'' day. or three
daysa a week schedule, while thirty days
ago only 1900, were.at work in all fac
tories. A close estimate places the num-
Der of unemployed around 125.000.
Men at work in the Ford Motor Com
pany's plant will not exceed 10000.
These were called back within the last
week. 1t Is understood that the Ford
plant In reopening does not intend to
resume the construction of new cars,
but will manufacture parts for repair

on the highways of the world. This
brings in a gross monthly income Of

country. Some place the figure higher

There is no doubt that Ford is in the
market for a loan well up in the mil

Mr.. Ford is not alone in his belief
that all outstanding obligations will be
met. regardless of the wild rumors
afoat. The fact that he is in the midst
of paying last years bonuses, amount
ing to seven or eight million dollars, is
an indication that the financial future
is causing him no real worry.
