abor Views Ford With Mixed Feeling

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Organized DOT regards Henry Fords presiden- tlal boom with mixed feelings, fa- -vorable in the main, but tinged with some apprehension.
 . Ford Is the richest man in America,
 labor bears him no ill-will on nat account. It recognizes he has made his money honestly; not but stock market manipulations or un- fair tricks of trade, but by sup plying a useful product cheaper than any one else through efficient meth ods of manufacture. Organized la
 has never been recognized for
 lily by Ford, who operates an open mop, but Ford is recognized as hav- ing treated his workers as well as, or better, than many owners or closed shops. Labor leaders say they have found their task easier because of the generous standards of wages and working conditions voluntarily established by Ford.
 Shy Ford Is AHtocrat.
 ~ Nevertheless, organized labor re- , eards Ford as an autocrat-a wise Y and warm hearted one, perhaps-but still an autocrat. Ford hires brains :, to plan every detail of his operations and then hires labor to perform, me- chanically, the work assigned. Every useless movement is eliminated. Speed is the chief objective. The employees have no voice either indi- Vidually, or through collective bar gaining, in determining the condi- tions under which they work Ford 3has shown what a good industrial
 tocrat can do, If benevolently in.

 organized labor complains that

 1r.s yievpojnto Q
 hester M. Wright, the righ hand
 p of Samuel Gompers, sums up la
 h- case against Ford this way:
 tJne thing there Is to point out
 Mir. Henry Ford as well as to all other persons who think they can ssrun humanity according to a pat stern created by lone genius for a time, but the time will surely come when the beautiful pattern will be torn to shreds. Autocracy Is no longer a safe venture in either politics or industry. The masses must know what they are doing and why; they must give the undertaking their sanc- tion and the undertaking must en- list their intelligent interest.
 AS to Henry Ford, 1t may be said that he knows men while they are dl Wolh, oul Ho uoesH hIoW them swhen they are baffled. Democracy smust beget the intelligent participa- ,tion of it's populations. industrially las well as politically, or the future must become mere guessworll and a terrible hazard"
 Labor is going to be more alive in the coming campaign than ever be- fore. Permanent committees on po- litical action have been created in practically every community and they are being urged by Gompers te prepare for decisive action in the early primaries as well as in the later elections.

 AT RADICAL MEET
Farmer-Labor Party Hopes To Have Detroit Man
 Head Ticket
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER deaSed Wire to The Age-Herald.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Ford and Chris
 jensen, finance and transportation-
 these are the men and the issues q foremost among the problems to be
 dealt with by the joint convention o1
 the farmer labor party and the po-
 litical minority conference opening
 here Tuesday.
 Whether the powerful third party
 which this gathering hopes to form
 can persuade Henry Ford to head its
 1924 ticket was a question widely
 speculated on by delegates as they
 met on the eve of the meeting. The < strength of the sentiment among the 2 old farmer-laborites on Farley P, Christensen was another tqpic of
 speculation.
 AS for issues. the leaders of the z movement hope that their follow ; CTS will determine whether the
 United States shall continue to be
 government of the people, or of
 the international bankers" while
 lower freight rates and revaluation
 of the railroads are also among the , other ultimate objectives.
 Ford Stronger Candidate.
 Many of the early arrivals for
 the conference expressed the belief ; that a 1924 ticket of Ford and z Christensen" would sweep the coun- try. Christensen Is personally more < popular with the political malcon- sa tents who make up the convention ' conference, but most of his best < friends admit that Ford obviously < would be far stronger candidate at the head of their ticket. Chris X jensen, however, Is said to be the father" of the coalition idea by < which the farmer-labor party hopes to weld the organizations repre- scented here into 8 body such a g the
 successful British labor party 4 H. F. Samuels, progressive candi- date for governor of Idaho, in No z vember, who lost to the c. o. P. by { but 10000 votes, Is among the Ford z boosters. He explained in an inter- , view why Ford will be popular choice at this meeting.
 {, Praises Ford.
 x Ford is the only representative of big business who meets the stand ards of the progressive clements of the country" Samuels said. He has s successfully bucked Wall street and Z has been successful in his own busi- ness. Our government Is only big business, after all, and what we need is a man at the head who has had
 Experience in running an enterprise pf magnitude"
 { While the convention conference, in session Tuesday, esday and Thursday, will merely attempt to or ganize the proposed third party, and nominations of this party will be Sheld up pending the official conven- f ton later. It Is believed likely that resolutions will be adopted indicating its choice for the presidency as well as its attitude on other national problems.

FAIRFIELD CONTINUES WRANGLE OVER PRICE OF NEW SCHOOL SITE
Owners Declare Sale Under S3,500 Acre Means Ac-
 tuaI Investment Loss
FAIRFIELD BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD EnirfInld Ala InIr 2

| i That owners of the property de- i sired by the beard of education of Fairfield for schoolsites were not acting contrary, had not placed a valuation in excess on the property, and that they all wished to see the
 matter amicably adjusted was a statement given to The Age-Herald
 bureau Monday by J. H. Perkins, one of the principal owners.
 MT. Perkins said the members of the board of education had un- ! thCughtedly arrived at conclusions as to the values, which were not correct, in the judgment of himself 1 and his association, and while they would deeply deplore any court ac-
 tlon, yet they could not, in justice
 to themselves, stand idle and permit
 a great loss to be inflicted upon
 them. He suggested that all of the
 parties were reasonably heavy tax
 payers to Fairfield, had large inter-
 ests there and wanted tC do all
 within their power to see the city
 go forward, yet they felt entitled to every right guaranteed citizens. And
 he added: Were we to sell the land
 wanted by the city at S3,000 per acre, we would actually lose money.
 We have been paying heavy taxes on
 the land for 13 years to the state,
 county and to Fairfield since she be- came a city. Then the property cost
 us a nice figure, even when we bought Now for the city tC come along and ask three or four citizens
 to donate q high school site Is ask
 ing just a little too much, and that is what 1t would be. We will make
 no money even at s3,500 for the
 prices are going up constantly in
 Fairfield and we are sure to reap a big reward as Fairfield grows. Then again a high school will render unfit for residential sites part of the land, for no one wishes to build a home adjoining a school house, even though it be beautiful and modern. We have observed with nc little concern and disappointment, what we consider the effort of the board of education to fix the value of that land in the newspapers, but I am not accustomed to trading that way. If the board of education thinks we are not fair they have an established re- course. And however deeply we would regret such action yet we will fight for a proper valuation until every prophecy made in regard to this district comes true before we will submit to what we consider an insufficient compensation for 13- year-old investment. We have ac- tually sweated blood carrying that property and while we are net de- manding a pound of flesh. we are asking a fair, honorable value. We are willing to buy all the lots in Fairfield adjoining that property at the lot value they undertake to place on our acreage"

Samuel c. King, vice president of the Bank of Ensley, will distribute the various prizes to the winners at the Fourth of July celebration in Fairfield. It was announced Monday that MT.

The committee in charge from the luncheon clubs and the city generally have their work we'll in hand and 1t was stated that all the details would be so worked out as to cause the program to move smoothly on the big day.
