Manufacturer Refuses To Join Crazy Scramble For High Priced MateriaIs-Fears
 Buying Power of Ma
 ton To Be Choked

NEW YORK, April 24.-Henry Ford advised the countrys business men Tuesday to be merciful tC' the domes- tic goose that lays the golden eggs.
 "keep prices down." he counseled, If you would keep business up" Simultaneously, he served notice that the Ford interests will not join in any crazy scramble" for high priced materials. in mad effort to accom- pljsh two years business and profits in one" though there is now run away demand for 10000 Fords a day, he said.
 His cautious admission that "husi- ness is off to a good start coupled with his warning that some people are riding prosperity too hard" came within a few hours of the announce ment of phenomenal profits by the United States Steel corporation dur ing the first quarter of 1923, and

 Earnings Large.
 Net earnings of Judge Gary's metal manufac tories totaled s34,7So,- 069 during January, February and March, compared with S27,552,392 in the preceding quarter and S19,339.9S5 in the first quarter of 1922. This made possible a surplus of $4,S59,351, after depreciation and sinking fund charges were subtracted, and is- suance of the regular dividends of $4 per cent Cn the preferred stock and 1i4 per cent on the common. The preceding quarter ended with a de- ficit instead of a surplus.
 Wall street had been expecting an optimistic showing by steel during the first quarter of 1923, a period in which the Il per cent wage in- crease was not reflected.
 But it had not been expecting Ford's caution against payment of pyramiding prices for materials. It Is a warning to kiting materials market which has not yet forgotten that Ford once shut his factory rather than pay more for coal than he thought coal was worth.
 Payment of high, unjustified prices does not add a single ton of steel, lumber or other material to the worlds supply" he said In his statement Tuesday. Tt only increases the risk of top-heavy inventory when prices come down once more.' ' ChOkes Buying Power.
 Preaching a sounder economic doc- Urine than may be heard in many a university lecture hall, MT. Ford warned that an upward movement of prices automatically chokes buy ing power.
 "When workmen are earning un- naturally high wages, during a period of overstimulated industry, workmen often assume financial ob- legations they cannot carry out in normal times, or when wages are lowered later, or when they are laid off in a subsequent dull period" he said.
 The whole failure backs up, eventually, until 1t overflows busi- ness men in every line, catching them with uncollectable accounts on their books.
 Paying higher wages, temporarily, than a plant can afford to pay per- manently, In competition for scarce labor, does not increase production or do much good. It is as bad as paying too much for materials.
 At the Ford plant, we pay wages we think are fair, in good times or bad. The Ford company will not par ticipate in any foolish running up of prices. We have enough men, and can get enough materials, to make 10. 1000 cars a day. This number would still be less than the demand.
 But we will not try to oversel our market. We do not think there is any reason for the great advance in raw material prices except over eagerness to get business, and we will not become a party to any pan icky feeling of that sort"
