HENRY FORD SAYS
SHUT DOWN MILL
Be ACTUAL FACT
Denies He Has Made an
Effort to Bluff
Anyone
CBy Associated PreA)

Detroit, August 50.TReiteration
that Henry Ford was mot bluffing
in his decision to shut down his big
automobile plants here on September
16, as part of a fight against what
he terms a "holdup" on the part of
coal brokers, and denial of various
reports that causes other than the
fuel shortage were responsible for
his action, were made yesterday at
the Detroit manufacturers office.
A report from Louisville that
when the $4,000 Ford workers in the
Detroit district were released on Sep
tember 16, Mr.. Ford would advise
them to take employment with the
railroads in an effort to break the
rail strike, was denied emphatically
The statement was termed ridiculous
There may be individual cases Of
Ford workers anticipating the lack Of
employment making application fo,
work with the railroads." it was stat
ed, "but Mr.. Ford certainly is moi
going to advise the men to attempt
to break the rail strike"
Another report that met emphatic
denial was that lack of business fig
ured in the decision to close th'
plants. Figures were cited to refut'
| it. "When the decision to close th'
plants was reached" it was stated
I'VE were four weeks behind in or
ders for Ford cars and three week
behind in orders for Lincoln cars. w
had only just caught up on orders 70
tractors" The decision to suspen
Operations came, it was reiterated, a
time when the Ford company wa
doing the greatest business in its his
tory. Production figures Shove
5,100 cars being turned out dali
against orders for 5000 day, it wa
pointed out.
! A statement from Secretary Ho,
yer that present prices of coal wou
add but $3.50 to the price. of Fol
cars also came in for sharp criticisr
and the inquiry: 'Does Mr. Hoov
think we should turn over to Il
, lprofiteers from $7,0OO,000 to $1(
100000 that would be represented
the increased cost of coal?"
