FORD REFUSES TO PAY
HIGH PRICE FOR FUEL

Detroit, Aug. 29.-Unaeas the
Ford Motor company receives coal
from an unexpected source, it will
close all it's manufacturing depart
ments in the Detroit district Sep
TENDER 16.
This statement was made at Mr..
Ford's Offices today in answer to
rumor in circulation in Detroit and
elsewhere to the effect that a way
had been found out of the company's
fuel problems. Mr.. Ford it was reit-
Grated, is firm in his convictions that
for him to pay increased prices for
coal at this time would have the
effect of keeping coal costs up at
the expense of other manufacturers
and the householders of the country.
