FORD STANDS FIRM
ON COAL SITUATION
will Close Detroit Plant Sept.
IS Unless Fuel Comes From
Unexpected Source
Bv Associated Pass

Detroit, Aug. D.-Unless the Ford
Motor Company receives coal from an
unexpected source 1t will close all its
manufacturing departments in the De-
troit district September 10.
This statement was made Mt Mr..
Ford's Offices today In answer to q ru-
NOR in circulation in Detroit and else
where TO the effect that way had been
found out Of the company's fuel prob
lens.
When they heard report to the ef-
feet that the Federal committee was
considering steps TO provide coal for the
Ford company at the normal price.
sources close to Mr.. Ford asserted they
had not been officially advised with re-
gard to the matter and added nothing
has been done yet to sell lis enough
coal to operate at anything but prof.
teering prices
One source close to the manufacturer:
in discussing the report that Mr.. Ford
might not find 1t necessary to close the
plants, asserted the company had fig
ured 'to the hour how long 1t could
continue operation with the coal sup
ply on hand and that in sight. 1t was
reiterated that Mr.. Ford was not
blufing." and that "he would refuse
to buy coal Mt exorbitant rates."
'Of course, we are hopeful that
something will happen between now and
September 10 to avert Il shutdown"
this source said. But It is a mighty
slim hope with things standing as they
are now"
Mr.. Ford, it was reiterated. is firm
in his conviction that for him to pay
increased prices for coal ut this time
would have the, effect Of keeping coal
costs up at the expense Of other manu-
facturers and the householders of the
country.
Washington. Aug. 29.--(By A. P.)
Present coal prices would only add
$1.JO to the price of Ford cars, Secrc-
tary Hoover declared today, in ex-
pressing the hope that the Detroit auto
mobile manufacturer would not find 1t
necessary TO close his plants because Of
the price of fuel.
