Time SCALE.
20 Hour Week Is Installed BY
Henry Ford In All
His Factories.
MORE MEN EMPLOYED
Henry Ford Adopts 4o-Hour Week 40
Permanent Time Scale In All
Of His Factories-PIans to
Employ 5000 More Men.

Detroit, AIich.-AdOptio of the 40

president. 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
will affect approximately $4,000 en-
ployes, who will continue to receive
the minimum SO n day wage.
New employees, however, will receive
u minimum of SIS daily, the pre-war
scale.
In making the announcement Mr..
Ford said he had reached the conclu-
"'''r week was practicable,
that the additional day of rest would
prove u great benefit to the workers
and that the production schedules Of
the Ford Industries could be so ar
ranged as to maintain the present out
put on the curtailed working week.
10 Promoting Home Life.
The action was in line with the COM
panys desire to afford it's workers
every opportunity to develop their
home life and profit by steady work
with ample leisure, as well MS to pro-
vide work for more of the city's un-
employed, Mr.. Ford said.
Every man. Mr.. Ford's announce
ment said, "needs more than one day
a week for rest and recreation; the
Ford company always has sought to
promote ideal home life for it's EN-
ployes. 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 building up the place called
home.
Market demands warrant the oper.
alton of the Ford plant six days
weekly, but we are satisfied that the
five-tlay week in pricaicable and it has
been adopted us Il permanent policy
of the company. Adjustments natur-
ally are necessary In equipment and
in man power the plants will have to
be placed on Il basis where they can
take care of production in five days
weekly.
Sees Business Improvement.
"It will mean work for 5000 more
men. It will mean more machinery.
The goal cannot be fully realized at
once but as soon as possible 1t is the
aim of the company to adjust its bust
ness so that it can be carried on with
out work on Saturday and Sunday"
The new schedule will first be put
Into operation at the Highland Park
plant and extended later to all fac
tories, but probably not to the Detroit
Toledo & Ironton railroad, owned by
the Ford interests. Sunday work, how
ever, has been all but eliminated on
the railroad.

Of the right Of the United States to

the justice Of its claim is not fully
recognized" according to identical
communications delivered by Ameri-
can diplomatic representatives to the
governments of Belgium, Great Brit

The notes were delivered under in.
structions from Secretary Hughes of
the Department Of State, and were oc-
casioned by recent information from
American observers in Europe that
the Allied governments apparently
contemplated arrangements which
would ignore American army costs al.
together, although estimates both for
army costs and reparations were be.
ing made on the basis of the entire
capacity of the German government
to pay.

United States for its army costs, the
notes declared, was understood to be
free from any substantial dispute, but
1t was deemed to be appropriate, "in

quaint the. Allied governments with the
repeatedly announced view that the
government .pf the United States was
expecting full payment Of the costs
Of its army on the Rhineland.
Basis for the American claim, the
notes pointed out, was found in the
armistice agreement, to which the
United States was signatory, and
which provided for military .occupa-
ton of Germany by the Allied and
American forces Jointly.
That agreement, the notes reeited,
expressly provided that the upkeep
of the troops Of occupation. in the
Rhine districts should be charged to
the German government and it was
expressed as the view, of the Amer.
ican government that the Armistice
agreement "had the clear import" that
the powers associated in that Joint
enterprise Should stand upon an
equal footing as to the payment of all
the actual costs of their armies of oc.
cupation."

Big Three Bar All
SpitbaIIs Now
In Baseball

Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton have agreed not to use the
spitball in their annual series.
Furthermore, if one of the
Big Three wants to use a spit
ball pitcher against a college
outside of this triumvirate the
written permission of the COL
lege must first be obtained.
The rules against the spit
ball are not quite so stringent
in professional leagues. The
National and American
Leagues have an agreement
barring the use of the ball by
newcomers, but allowing its
use by pitchers who were
throwing it in the majors
prior to adoption of the regu-
lation. There is no such ex-
ception in the rule adopted
by the Big Three.
Hickey of Yale is an adept
at the use of the splitter, and
the new rule will hit his COL
lege hardest. But this form
of delivery has never been
very popular on any college
campus, and it will not be
greatly missed in the Big
Three.

a fierce drubbing and knocked him
down many times.
All the tin1e Sayers employed
every known piece of strategy his
quick-thinking brain could devise.
As round after round rolled on
and Sayers kept Poulson moving
faster than he liked, the -endura nee
Of the big man began to wane.
This was noticed by the little fel-
low and he hoped around faster
1t was inevitable that Poulson had
to succumb. and at the first sign
of distress Sayers took on renewed
energy and proceeded to batter his
antagonist in a horrible manner.
He knocked him down, tripped him

ounce of energy.
His scheme finally succeeded and
he staggered to the center only to
find that Poulson was unable to
follow him. 1t was true test of
the two conflicting endowments of
the human race. The huge. power
full man controlled affairs for a
while. Then the smart rival stepped
in and Drawn was forced to stand
aside.
Nowadays every fighter studies
cleverness as well as power. He
knows that one is futile without
the other. In the. days of Poulson
fighting was just fighting. Now it
is a clash of two well developed
lads who have made the sport a
study. Their brains are trained as
well as their bodies.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 49,
John w. Heisman is through

the statement issued today by Sgd
ney E. Hutchinson, chairman of
the university council on athletics.
The coach, however, will not sever
his connection at Penn, for he has
been named as assistant to the
chairman of the athletic council
and will start to act in that ca
pacity the first of the year.
: According to Hutchinson, Heis-
man retired from the field as coach
following the Cornell game. He
requested that his name not be
considered as a candidate for the
job in 1928 and that Penn look
elsewhere for a coach. His three
year contract expired in November.
No action will be taken toward Sc
lecting his successor until after

HUGGINS WILL
SETTLE FATE
OF HIS ROCKIES
Manager and Ed Barrow will
Carefully Comb Roster of
Surplus Talent.
By CHARLES A. TAYLOR.

AYEW YORK, Dec. 1S. - The
~ fate of rockies belonging to
~ the New York Yankees will
be settled today. Manager Miller
Huggins announced yesterday that
he planned to hold an extended
conference with Business Director
Edward Barrow, during which the
player roster of the Yanks would
be carefully combed.
Many a youngster now on the
list as a member of the American
League champions is liable to re
ceive a Christmas shock instead O.
a Christmas present from head
quarters. But perhaps Hug an
Edward will keep their dastardlS
doings secret until after the gala
season is ended.
Although the bonafide player limit
is fixed at forty, every big league
club has many more ball tossers than
that lined up in some way or other.
The Yankees. for example. it is esti'
mated, have some hundred players
all bound round with some sort of
woolen strings.
DEAL NOT CLOSED.
1t will be recalled that the Yanks
have not yet secured possession OF
Jake May. the much-touted south
paw of the Vernon club in the
Pacific Coast League. The Vernon.
ties have given the Hugmen first
option on this player, but attached
to the promise was the demand for
$4,000. or its equivalent in playing
talent. It is presumed that the Yanks
will make a fairly large cash pay.
ment for May and then toss in a
bushel or so of their reserves to
make up the cash deficit.
This confab of today, therefore
may have an important bearing on
the dicker for May. Huggins will
probably inform Barrow just what
players he intends to ship to the
Golden West.
As for that deal with the White
Sox, Hug Is Just as much at sea
as ever. he said yesterday. 1T is
up to the Chicago Club to make
the next move" Miller averred
Maybe they'll be able to think over
the question more seriously and

dash and short distance man.

John D. O'Reilly's tutelage as a
hurdler and won the 440-yard hurdle
