FORD To FIGHT
COAL PROF|TEERs
DETROIT AUTO MAGNATE DE-
MES THERE Is A SHORTAGE
STOCKS HELD BY BROK-
ERS, HE AVS.

Detroit, Mich, Aug 31--Henry
Ford, in announcing Saturday that
his plants would be closed Septem-
ber 16 because of conditions in the
coal industry, began a fight for what
he believes is great principle, the
Associated Press was informed to-
day.
Mr.. Ford, it was stated, has start
ed what he declares is fight against
alleged profiteering in coal, and he
believes he is in a better position,
perhaps, to do so than anyone else.
He feels, it was stated, that by TAX
ing up the fight he is doing every
workingman, throughout the coun-
try real service.
Ford denies that there is coal
shortage. The investigations of his
representatives have convinced him.
it was stated, that coal brokers of
the country have an enormous supply
on hand. The Ford Motor company
could obtain enough coal to cover a
tract 10 acres square If it would sub

| it was declared.
For several weeks, it was asserted,
| the Ford offices at Dearborn have
| been flooded with offers of coal with
deliveries guaranteed 1t was de,
clared that the prices asked ranged
from 100 to 800 per cent above the
normal cost.
The Detroit manufacturer believes
that IL he yields to what he terms
"the holdup" of the coal brokers
every other manufacturer will follow
suit and that coal prices will reacf
an unprecedented figure.
The Ford company recently receiy
ed large number of offers on the
part of the coal operators to sci
mines. None of these offers hai
been seriously considered, however
because of the present transporta
/ tion conditions. 1t was explained b.
persons close to Mr.. Ford that TIL,
offering of mines meant but little
as they can be purchased now for al
most nothing, because of the larg'
!. stocks of coal held by brokers.

WAGES IN BUILDING
TRADES TAKE DROP

Wage rates of the building trades.
as well as the prices of building
material. have undergone radical
changes, according to a bulletin
just issued by the bureau Of sta
tistics of the Department of Labor.
Beginning with 1917. building
material prices advanced above
wage rates until 1920. when build
ing materials reached triple the
prices of 1913, and wage rates had
nearly doubled. Beginning with
the spring of 1920 and continuing
into 1921 there was a heavy fall
in material prices. Wage rates,
however, more than held their own
during that period.
