FORD CLOSING UP
HISHUGEINDUSTRY
Five Factories and Numerous
Assembling Houses Effected
BY Orders
ASSOCIATED Press pispatch.I


Detroit, September 10 In protest
against paying what he believes to
be exorbitant prices for coal and
process OF closing up his huge in
dustry.
With the suspension complete
when the last shift of workers leaves
the various factories tonight, ap-
proximately 100000 men will have
been rendered idle for an indefinite
period. The plants affected include
the FIVE factories in the Detroit area
and numerous assembling stations
throughout the country. Other con-
Germs, the output of which goes
chiefly to the Ford company, also
are expected to suspend operations.
Did Not Warrant Change.
In announcing the contemplated
closing several weeks ago, Mr.. Ford
declared no coal shortage existed;
that brokers held enough coal to
supply the needs of the country
and that the public was being "goug-
ed" by the dealers. He also criti-
method of apportioning coal.
The past week brought some m
provement in the fuel situation, Ford
officials assert yesterday. but this
they said did not warrant a change
in the suspension order.
Since deciding to close his fac
tories, Mr.. Ford has held daily con-
ferences with his executives in an
effort to solve the fuel and materials
problem, but in every market con-
sidered. he said, he found prices
higher than he believed they should
be.
Inquiry today failed to disclose
any other Detroit manufacturer who
contemplated action similar to that

VIEWS OF LAYMEN

Mankato, Mimi, September IA,
1922.-To The Free Press: If you
will allow me a little space in your
paper would like to ask why all the
fuss and feathers about the little
games of chance, where one pits his
brains, skill and muscle against an
other to win a prize as we used to
do in school in the olden times,
when the teacher would offer a prize
for this or that?
And those concessions are not al
lowed, as / understand, only for dis
cipline to the mind and body, but
also to help pay the expenses of the
fair so that the gate charges will not
be so heavy as to bar widow woman
with her little flock that has to take
in washing, scrub windows and
floors for her money.
/ have wondered IL all this fuss
and feathers was not for the pur-
pose of diverting our minds from the
higher gambling devices.
Take for instance the price of
land. | have farm that was bought
within my recollection of the gov
eminent for rs cents an acre. That
l am now paying one dollar per acre
for the privilege of working said
land one year for less than nothing.
I have barn on that farm. the lum
Der in which cost So to $40 per
thousand. That would cost now
not near as good lumber. have
three corn harvesters that cost $45
each to make and put aboard cars
at the factory and shipped to Man
kato over railroads that received
land grants and bonuses enough to
build and equip said roads. paid
$125 each for the machines, which
were fair price and profit, all
around. Two years ago my neighbor
bought the same kind of a machine
paid SPAS for 1t, and that makes a
gamble of $12Q. So it is with ev.
erything we buy. There is a bonded
debt on every man woman and child
in the United States Of S525. and it
is a big gamble if that can ever be
paid.
But a truce to this strain for my
heart it is sad to think that a people
in humanity clad shall study the fol.
lowing table and wonder II they will
ever be made glad. compiled by the
librarian of congress. One dollar
loaned for 100 year at compound in
terest at three per cent per annum
would amount to $19.25. ...s.
Six per cent per annum would
amount to $4,000.
Eight per cent per annum would
amount to $2,203.00.
Ten per cent per annum would
amount to $13.8oS.00.
Twelve per cent per annum would
amount to $S4,075.00.
Eighteen per cent per annum
would amount to $15,145,007.0O.
Twenty four per cent per annum
