POLICY
FROM DETROIT ANGIE


DETROIT, Mieh.. Nay a2.-How
Ford's labor policy IS viewed BY trade
unionists in his home town is indi-
Gated BY this editorial published in
the Detroit Labor News, owned by
the Detroit Federation Of Labor:
Accepting IS true the dispatches
coming from West Virginia regarding
the conditions which prevail IN Ford's
Kentucky mines, we have another ex-
ample Of the Auto Kings policy. Ac-
cording to the dispatches, Ford has
closed down his mines because organ
izers Of the United Mine Workers
are in the district. It is said that the
mines viii not open until they leave.
"Ford's labor policy Is well known
to all who are close to Detroit. As
one gets away from the City of the
Straits, admiration for his policy in
ereases in geometric ratio.
''In the mines IL quession. II is said,
the same rate Of wages are paid as in
union mines. That Is not what trou-
bles Ford. He doesn't object to pay
ing high wages. He sweats his en-
ployes to make up for it. What he
dislikes is Independence upon the part
of the workers. Ford Is the persona
fication Of the industrial autocrat.
His word must be law. He will not
tolerate anything but serviIe obedi-
ence. His plants. therefore, have the
atmosphere Of the well-regulated PEN
itentiary.
Understanding his autocratic per-
sonality, it is easy to understand his
opposition to the unions. The organ
ization of workers into unions brings
some measure of independence to the
workers. This affects their whole
attitude.
"For this reason it IS easy to dis
tinguish the organized from the un-
organized, even outside the workshop.
Not being able to tolerate indepen-
dence and self-expression in his sweat
shop, Ford, naturally cannot tolerate
the unions"

HARD ROAD TO FARM
OWNERSHIP BY TENANTS

Although tenant farmers, in the
United States in large numbers have
succeeded in accommodating funds out
Of their farm earnings to make ini-
tial payments on contracts for the
purchase Of land, the process has be-
come one Of considerable difficulty
in many parts of the country, say
economists Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Increases
in the valuation Of land have some
times discouraged many tenants from
attempting to buy land, and may have
increased the difficulties of purchas-
ers in the early stages of payment
These conclusions are based on extern
sive data gathered by the depart
ment. If tenants are to accumulate
out of their own earnings enough
money to make the initial payment
on farm, they must do so, it is said,
by one or more of the following
means: ~ make their farms earn
higher than average incomes; (2) pay
rent on their land at a rate lower
than the prevailing mortgage rate of
interest in their neighborhoOd; (3)
own part OF. all of their operating
capital when they become tenants;
(4) live in most cases on less than
5000 a year in addition to what the
farm supplies in kind; (5) keep pro-
duction costs down by employing the
members of the family without wages,
which, say the department econo-
mists, is a practice of considerable
Importance to the intending purchas-
er. Studies of labor contributed by
members of farm families show that
over series Of years such labor had
an average annual valuation of $21l
on a group Of go Wisconsin farms.
This was 81 per cent Of the expenses
of these farms. In calculating farm
incomes, a deduction is usually made
for the unpaid labor of the farm fam
lily. It represents a return which is
not included in rent, interest on the
investment, or payment for the serv-
ices of the farm operator himself.
Where the tenant has no unpaid labor
from which to increase his margin of
return over necessary expenditures,
he carries an additional handicap in
his struggle to become farm owner.
