to fifteen dollars week. Now she
is making six dollars day, the mini
mum wage which Mr.. Ford pays the
people who work for him.
Back at the office of the Dearborn
Independent | inquired of the young
lady telephone operator the size of
her pay envelope, thinking that per-
haps here might be an exception, but
| found that it was six day and that
she was highly satisfied. In fact
everybody about Ford seemed to be
satisfied. Six a day is a great an
tidote for labor troubles. Speaking of
strikes around the Ford works-there
isn't any such animal. AS a conclu-
sive evidence in support of this con-
tention, the first five men who start
ed to work for Henry Ford are still
on the job. One Of these men is
Chemical Engineer Wandersee. He
has been satisfied with his work for
twenty years.
No Racial Labor Lines.
It was with no slittle trepidation
that l approached the subject of
Jews" knowing that couple of gen
tlemen from New York, Messrs, I'm
termeyer and Bernstein, have been
out. cunning for Mr.. Ford with their
heavy artillery. Mr. Untermeyer and
Mr.. Bernstein apparently feel that
their race has been so damaged that
they are personally entitled to some
of Mr.. FOrd's bank balance, due to
certain articles which have appeared
in the Dearborn Independent. buy
my copy of the Independent aat the
corner of Broadway and Forty-sec-
ond Street, New York City, where
most of those who walk keep away
from the said vendor like he had the
small pox, so / observed to Mr. Ford
that probably his circulation in New
York was not very big.
"On the contrary" he came right
back, "the number of copies of the
Dearborn Independent in circulation
in New York City is unusually large,
though | am told that at certain
homes it is delivered at the back
door,"
/ told Mr.. Ford that the feature
/ like about the Dearborn Indepen-
dent was that the staff very appar-
emily when speaking of things Jewish
never had anything to hide. They
called spade spade and if the
party in mind was of Jewish persua-
sion, he was called by name.
by the way" | continued to Mr..
Ford, / don't suppose you have
any Jews working for you on the
staff of the Dearborn Independent"
Eyes, we have, right here on the
Dearborn Independent"
''But, of course, you can't have any
on the pay roll at your Highland
Park Plant?"
give thousand he continued.
No more Questions were asked on
the subject, as believe there is
nothing else to be said. If there is
any persecution going on or if there
is any crucifying being done, it
seems to me that the commitment is
on Henry Ford. know now what
Israel Zangwill meant when he said,
II understand Henry Ford, he is all
right" or words to that effect. The
largest employer of Jewish labor in
America should be all right.
whats all the shootin fur?"
Anyway, there isn't any "shootin"
going on around Henry Ford. If you
are looking for excitement, stay away
from him. All the hurry, turbulence,
fluster, and fuss is going on some
where else.
Henry Ford takes things very
steadily.
Ebert Hubbard used to run over
for visit with his friend Henry
when he wished for rest. He always
brought along a baseball in his peck
et-and Ebert and Henry played
"catch". That Henry plus five hun
dred millions of dollars and the an
swer still is the original Henry Ford.
