Former Gouernor Cox
 Speaker at Auburn
 Dinner Here Thursday
Democratic Nominee in 1920 Coming Here Solely to Aid in Launching Greater Auburn Campaign

James Nj. Cox, former gov ernor of Ohio, who was democratic nominee for President in 1920, will be the principal speaker at the Au- burn semi-centennial dinner given next Thursday evening, March 30, at the Tutwiler hotel.
 Governor Cox had tentatively ac- cepted several days ago. but due to conflicting engagements, did not def initely assure the committee that he would be the speaker until yester- day afternoon. The dinner will pre- cede the launching of the intensive campaign for funds which is planned to begin in Birmingham Friday morning, March 3i.
 large number of other counties, which were not ready to launch their campaigns this week. have fixed their date at the same time as Bir- mingham.
 Carson Adams. chairman of the Greater Auburn campaign in the City of Birmingham. has arranged the details for the dinner at which Governor Cox will be the speaker, and he expects to announce the pro gram for the occasion within Il day or two.
 Only One Speech
 It is stated that Governor Cox is coming to Birmingham solely to aid In launching the Auburn campaign and that he will make no public ad- dresses while here, except his speech on the night of the dinner
 Arrangements are now being made for the entertainment of Governor Cox at an informal luncheon on next Thursday, but all his engagements are being arranged by the Auburn committee through Chairman Adams
 It Is expected that hundreds of the leading citizens of Alabama will be on hand to greet the distinguished visitor and to hear his message in behalf of the campaign to raise s1,- G0e,000 for better equipment and Ia cllities for the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn.
 Greater Birmingham's campaign organization will begin the work Of solicitation on the day following Governor cox's appearance here, and it is expected to raise the citys quota within very few days.
 Needs of Auburn
 In the meantime, the work of in- tenslve preparation continues throughout the state, and many county chairmen have sent in mes sages of thanks for the postponement of the time of active solicitation Tn their counties to the week beginning Monday April 10, thus giving them more time to acquaint the people with the needs of Auburn and the purpose of the campaign. Charles F. DeBardeieben, general i chairman, points out there is every reason to believe that if this s1000, 900 Is raised. of which he Is fully confident, the legislature of Alabama will match this with an appropria- ton of another s1,00O0 900. and thus the future of Auburn's facilities wifi be assured for many years to come. Henry T..

New Policy in All Ford Plants Will Affect 50,000 En- pIoyes and Add 5000 Men to Force, Says Announce ment
By Associated Press

Detroit, March 34.-Ador ton of
 nent policy in all plants of the
 Ford Motor company wns am
 nounced tonight by EdseI R.
 Ford, president of the company.
 Under the new plan the factories
 will be closed on Saturday and

 he added to the force. The
 change will affect approximately
 50,O0O employees, who will con-
 tinue to receive the minimum ss
 a day wage.
 New employees, however, will re- ceive a minimum of s daily, the pre- war scale. In making the announce ment, MT. Ford said he had reached the conclusion that 40-hour week was practical, that the additional day of rest would prove 8 benefit to the workers and that the production schedules of the Ford industries could be so arranged as to maintain the present output on the curtailed working week.
 f'Every man" MT. Fords announce ment said, needs more than one day & week for rest and recreation. The Ford company always has sought to promote ideal home life for It's em- ployes. We believe that in order to live properly, every man should have more time to spend with his family; more time for elf-improvement; {; more time for building up the place called home.
 k"Market demands warrant the op- eration of the Ford plants six days weekly, but we are satisfied that the five-day week is practical, and it has been adopted as permanent policy of the company. Adjustments natu- rally are necessary. In equipment and in man-power the plants will have to be placed on a basis where they 'sa.n take care Gf productioTs.4irs sise days weekly.
 Tt win mean work for 5000 more men. It will mean more machinery. The goal cannot be fully realized at once, but as soon as possible it is the aim of the company to adjust it's business so that it can be carried on without work on Saturday and Sun day"
 The new schedule will first be put into operation at the Highland Park plant and extended later to all fac tories, but probably not to the De- troit, Toledo and Ironton railroad. owned by the Ford interests. Sunday work, however, has been all but elim- mated on the railroad.
 MT. Ford said he believed a greater demand for motor vehicles, particu- larly commercial, was an indication of improvement In business generally.
