BROTHER GARY is NO PIKER

The United States Steel corpora
tion, Ebert H. Gary, president, is at
tempting to get away with $60,000,-
900 due the government as income
taxes for 1917 and 1918. The steel
corporation has out more than five
million shares OF common stock, and
the amount withheld from the gov
ernment in this instance figures about
$11.80 on each share-a pretty fair
hold-out. Of course, now that Mr..
Gary's attention has been called to
this little matter by the government,
no doubt he will Immediately see that
these income. taxes are promptly
paid, just as you and / had to pay
ours. In the rush Of details connected
with the operation of the shops on the
American Plan" he probably over
looked thsi income tax item.

Ford Triumphs Over
Wall Street Banks
(By Federated Press)

New York-Mr.. Henry Ford has,
during the last few months, achieved
success that ought to be an example
and an inspiration to American bust
mes. The Wall Street Journal, which
six month ago ridiculed Mr.. Ford's
declaration that he could get on with
out aid from the bankers, now calls
his recovery "the marvel of the motor
industry" 1t shows that though six
months ago Mr.. Ford owed $85,000,-
600, with his plants closed and un-
sold cars piled to the roof of his store
houses, he has now paid his debts, the
congestion of stored cars is relieved,
the public is buying and his plants
are running full capacity.
This gigantic task was accomplish
ed largely by forcing the cooperation
of Ford dealers throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Ford reduced prices to con-
sumers and insisted that all his
agencies sell their stock. He shipped
cars to them by the car load, whether
they wanted them or not. Where
local dealers represented that they
could not make sales, he established
new agencies, or changed the man
agement of the old ones, with the re-
suit that the cars were sold, thus
justifying Ford's belief that the pub
lie would buy them at reasonable
prices if the right kind of selling
service could be established.

Ford Again Hits
The Managers

A little more than a year ago Henry
Ford bought the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton Railroad, about 45O miles
long and running through Ohio and
Michigan. At the time he bought the
road it was losing 100000 month.
Since Ford bought the road it has
made a profit, though doing less bus
mess than it was handling the year
before.
That is one thing that the railroad
mixers who are wrecking other roads
have laid up against Ford. Another
mean thing he did was to announce
that on and after July 1, 1921, the
lowest wages to be paid any emplo! ee
would be six dollars for eight hours.
The road is now paying that wage
and still making profits.
On July /, when Ford raised the
lowest wages to $500, the other roads
lowered wages from 1922 to 1924
per day.
Now comes the d. T. & I. and asks
that freight rates charged by it on
it's main line and on all it's branches
be cut 20 per cent, beginning August
goth. When the general freight agent
filed the request to reduce rates 20
per cent with the public utilities COM
mission at Columbus, Ohio, the only
comment he made in reply to questions
was: "Mr. Ford thought a reduction
should be made"
Don't get the idea that the Ford
road is toy road that runs few
miles through the back woods. It's
a real road and in better shape than
ever before, and the fact that Ford
has made the road a success from a
failure, raised wages and reduces
prices charged for service, is not be-
cause he is superman, but is solely
because he either doesn't know how
to soak the public and labor or be-
cause he doesn't care for that kind
of game.
The railroad managers have been
claiming for over three years now that
they are the only ones possessing the
brains and ability necessary in run
ming the railroads OF Ine country
That they must have the right to
charge high rates and lower wages
if the transportation system of the
land was to be maintained, only to
go ever deeper in debt and nearer
bankruptcy.
How can they account after all me
propaganda they have spread, for all
that Ford has done? They will ad-
NIT they didn't know what they were
talking about or that they lied and do
still lie, but what do you think about
it as you continue to pay excessive
freight charges; see the purchasing
power of railroad workers cut down
and crops rotting on the ground be-
cause it costs too much to ship them
Think it over.

Boiler Makers Reject Reduction

San Franciso-The San Francisco
local of the Boilermakers' union,
though voting to reject the wage cut
announced for August / by the Cali
fornia Metal Trades Association, does
not intend to call strike. One of the
officials of the union put the situation
as follows: "There will be no strike,
but we have informed the shipyard
owners that if wages are cut from
$6.40 to $5.76 day the men employed
will do only $5.76 worth of work"

to send work to shops that are un-
friendly to the union.

NEWARK. OHIO. FRIDAY, AUGUST 5. 1o
Calling a Halt

The highbinders controlling the
finances of the country have been
having a merry time this last year
"defating" farmers, business men
and workers They have been with
drawing credits, calling loans and
generally knocking affairs into
cooked hat, growing fat and waxing
arrogant the while they skinned
everybody else.
Under the guise of newspaper cor
respondents and financial writer's GER
tain propagandists for the gang have
been roasting, scolding and abusing
farmers, small businessmen and work
ers because of their "ineffciency,"
"wastefulness," extravaganza" and
nearly total lack of business sense
displayed in not at once gratefully
accepting cuts in wages, prices Of
farm products and on sales. Not
one or anybody have they missed and
all the time the writers have been
denouncing, the gang has been put
ting the boots to business until they
think they've got the world by the
tail with a down-hill drag.
Of late, though, ~the writing crew
has begun to lose it's nerve. They
are growing timid and fearful of
what's to happen. So much so that
they've taken the opportunity recent
ly to ask the gang they have been
writing for to "For Gods sake stop,
look and listen"
Only last week one of the most
noted of the crew of writer's, c. B.
Evans, Chicago correspondent for the
Philadelphia Ledger" met up with
banker in Chicago who was all
perked up because there had been
little rise in stocks To the banker
everything seemed rosy, but Evans,
writing the story for the Ledger,
could not see any reason for rejoicing
and wanted to know what the banker
was going to do next winter when the
100000 now out of work had eaten
up their savings and were joining the
bread line. According to Evans the
banker became pale, suffered and
walked away without answering.
1 If Evans keeps on handing out that
kind of dope he will be called boil
shevik and be tied to large sized
can.
Evans is not the only one beginning
to get cold feet and thinks the gang
has gone too far for their own good.
Lately B. c.. Forbes, another great
"financier." and writer who but few
short moons ago was lying about and
lambasting labor and the farmer, has
begun to croak and delivers himself
of "a Warning to Bankers" in which
ne utters the following:
"Gentiemen-.Please ponder what
your notions are IN danger Of bringing
dUOuL. II oIil lhCo CllOSC VI VIII 1IC
not blinded by too close contact with
banking routine that the time has
come for you to devote your energies
less to "iquidation" and to give more
consideration to labor and to bust
ness" Forbes is one of the crowd
that said the railroad employees were
crazy when they claimed the big
banking interests had conspired to
bring on unemployment and hard
times. There's still hope for the
vilest of sinners if they repent-pro-
vided the repentance is genuine and
not the result of the fear of what's
going to happen and desire to get
in the clear.
