FORTY HOUR WEEK
FOR FORD PLANTS
New Five Day Week Scheme is
Announced by President
of Company.
MORE TO BE EMPLOYED
General Idea Is to Give the
Preference to Ex-Soldiers
of World War.
MORE TO BE EMPLOYED

DETROIT, March 24.--Adoption Of the
fcrty hour week as permanent
policy in all plants Of the Ford Motor
Company was announced tonight by
Edsel Ford. president of the company.
Under the new plan the factories will
be closed on Saturday and Sunday and
about 5000 men will be added to the
force. The change win affect approxi-
mately $4,000 employees who will con-
tinue to receive the minimum SO day
wage.
In making the announcement Mr.. Ford
said he had reached the conclusion that
the forty hour week was practical, that
the additional day of rest would prove
o benefit to the workers and that the
production schedules of the Ford in
dustres could be so arranged as ia
maintain the present output on the cur
tailed working week.
Every man" Mr.. Ford's announce
ment said, needs more than one day q
week for rest and recreation. The Ford
company always has sought to promote
ideal home life for it's employees. We
believe that in order to live properly
every man should have more time to
spend with his family, more time for
self-improvement, more time for build
ing up the place called home.
TT will mean work for 5000 more
men. 1t will mean more machinery.
The goal cannot be fully realized at
once, but as soon as possible il is the
aim of the company TO adjust its busi-
ness so that 1t can be carried on with
out work on Saturday and Sunday"
The Ford company's new employment
policy follows closely an announcement
that a material increase IN workers
would be made, the new men being
drawn as far as possible from fhe ranks
Of former soldiers now out of employ
ment. These additional men are being
put on at the rate of several hundred a
day
Mr.. Ford said passenger ear produc-
ton was considerably ahead Of the out
put a year ago, but that the greatest in
crease in demand was for commercial
vehicles, and this indicated business inn
provement. Tractor business also was
encouraging, notwithsta nding the agri-
cultural depression, and the output Of
these implements. Mr.. Ford said. was
somewhat greater than at this time last
year.
With the Ford announcement that
more men would be required in the va
rious plants came a statement from the
Employers Association Of Detroit that a
marked decrease had been noted in the
supply Of skilled automotive workers.
I'm some occupations. most OF them
highly specialized the labor report
stated. there are hardly enough men 10
supply the demand. Should the demand
for skilled men continue an actual
shortage will be faced unless factories
are successful in training their own men
in these lines

ber by a policeman who met her on the
street wearing a bathing suit OF the slip

with no sleeves. She wore no stockings.
Edward J. Deasey Justice of the
Peace. found her guilty OF violating a
village ordinance and suspended sem

Mayo's attorney. appealed to the county
court. Judge Smith said no proof was
offered Of a village ordinance affecting
the charge.
This specific charge" said Judge
Smith, amounts - IN imputation that
the defendant was lacking in a sense
of modesty and unless the evidence sus-
tains that imputatian the young lady
should not be burdened with such odium.
II appears that the suit extended below
the knees, was not gathered in at the
waist. was not unduly low AT the neck {:
In fact. not as low as some evening
gowns have seen worn by ladies of
refinement and respcctability. The
arms and shoulders and legs from the

one could be greatly shocked by the ap-
