men in the Detroit district have been
made idle for an indefinite period.
Thousands more in assembling plants
throughout the country also were or
dered to lay down their tools. In adj
dition score or more of small indus
trial concerns here dependent on the
Ford Motor company for orders were
preparing to close. These employ up
wards of 10000 men.
The majority of the Ford workers
who passed through the gates of the
Highland Park plant after turning in
their tools, expressed concern over the
shutdown. Their foremen had given
them advice from Mr.. Ford to buy as
little coal as possible and to cut their
living expenses to a minimum.
No Official word came from Mr. Ford
or his executives. The latter said the
manufacturer alone knew how long his
plants would be closed. The Detroit
board of commerce has offered it's
assistance to the motor manufacturer
in Solving his coal problems"

that inasmuch as France and Italy had
