All the employees now have
an eight hour day, and the
limit at which any person
can work is 208 hours per
month. The minimum wage
is SIS per day of eight hours:
In spite of these radical
changes the road is operat-
ing with an efficiency unpre-
cedented in its history. The
cost of operation and main
tenance in June of this year
was So cents for every dol
lar of revenue, as against
1T cents in June 1920, and
118 cents in June, 1919.
Of course the Wiseacres OF
finance and railroad mana
cement are to the front with
all sorts of explanations and
excuses. We believe, how
ever, that the secret of
Ford's success all along the
line lies in the simple fact
that he has applied the Gold
en- Rule at every point of
contact with his felloW-man.
The greatest comfort and
happiness to his employees;
the greatest service to the
millions who use his cars;
and the lowest possible price
to the multitude. Whether
consciously or unconscious
~ we do not attempt to say.
But the principle may be
easily traced throughout the
entire scheme Of the Ford
enterprises. He has just
taken on a 400-mile railroad,
and we find the same prin-
ciple working to perfection.
The application Of the Gold
en- Rule is not new IN bust
ness. In fact every great
business that ever made q
conspicuous success has been
built more or less in this
spirit. But Ford is the first
man, we believe, who has ap~
piled it-in every relationship
of business and at every
angle of human intercourse.
