FORD AND THE NEW
GENERATION

Some ten years and more ago Henry
Ford had a dream. In that dream he
beheld the stimulating effect of a
raise in the wages of his men to Sc.
a day minimum. The high wage was
the condition of prosperity
The drea~l made such a profound
impression upon him that the next
morning h went to his factory in
Detroit and gave orders for such uni
versal raise to $500 a day minimum
for his employees.
The announcement had a profound,
if not disturbing effect upon the in
dustrial world Yet his dream has
come true.
Today the high wage has come to
be regarded as indispensable to
prosperity. 1t is one of the founda-
tions of the new wage policy of the
American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Ford has had more recently
another dream-an even greater
dream than this early vision of in
dustrial prosperity. 1t is that of
new civilization reorganized by the
machine. Handicraft, save as it en-
ters into the design and manufacture
of machines, is, as he sees it, obso-
lete.
The work of the world is to be done
by machines. No problem, in his
opinion, will fail to yield to the ma
chine. Management, and the direc-
ton of labor and intelligence, will do
the trick. 1t means standardization
of all products and monotony for
those who do not want any other kind
of work. AS he says in his recent
book, To-day and Tomorrow" which
unfolds his dream:
"The eventuality Of industry is not

Low WAGE
Japanese Aided BY Court
Ruling

Portland, Ore.-A committee of the
Central Labor Council reports that
Federal Judge Wolverton's rulings in
the so-called Jap conspiracy case at
Toledo, this state, menace organized
labor and should be appealed. The
court gave the widest Interpretation
to conspiracy, and included two per-
sons who would induce another to
leave his employment, even though
that person signed contract without
understanding conditions.
The case was based on the Pacific
Spruce Corporations employment Of
Japanese at it's Toledo mills. Citi-
zens induced them to leave and one
of the Japs sued for damages in the
federal district court. He was rep
resented by the corporations attor-i
neys and he secured an award of
$1,000.
Judge Wolverton told the jury that
any persuasion that resulted in the
Japs leaving was an effort to induce
them to violate their contract.
"The instructions also appear to
hold that two or more persons en-
gagged in such persuasion is con-
spiracy as defined by law and is there
fore illegal" the trade union commit
tee said.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-10

But the consent decree, in any
event, takes the place of jury ver-
dict. The case does not go to trial.
Great combinations of capital get
much more of what they are after in
consent DEGREES than in jury verdicts,
it may safely be assumed.
Labor unions, in the rare cases
where they are involved, are more
likely to get the worst of it.
Why the consent decree? Why not
a trial and a verdict?

POLITICIANS DIDN'T DO IT

The time is near at hand when the
welkin will ring with the claims of
politicians for the credit for the gen.
eral industrial activity of the nation.
No politicians will claim credit for
what has happened to prices of farm
products. Politicians never claim
credit for adverse happenings.
But they will yap their heads off,
telling the populace that they created
prosperity.
Look for it. 1t will come
But the politicians had precious lit
tie to do with whatever prosperity

ment, with it's wage and hours Oh
work policies, its steady fighting to
enforce those policies, did more te

LABOR UNITY


"The great element in the strength
of our American labor movement has
been the fact that our unions rest
upon the basis of common needs and
problems and our rigid exclusion of
all issues involving personal religion
and partisan politics." declares Will
liam Green, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, in an edi-
torial on Labor Unity" in the
American Federationist.
"Our American labor movement has
declared for the organization of all
workers, regardless of race, creed,
sex or nationality.
"The things upon which groups of
human beings agree are much fewer
than those upon which they differ.
"This is a fact which makes for
richness in national development and
word civilization. But this rich vari-
ETY. has it's roots in units of organ
lied activities for the essential work
of the world.
"These essential undertakings in
which there is identity of interests
are, in the main, vocational.
workers find their unit in the craft
union.
"These units are concerned exclu-
sively with production and economic
problems and situations.
"There is common economic neec
among all wage earners which the
union meets despite wide individual
differences under the categories enum
Grated.
"This right to negotiate terms O.
employment, adequate wages, tn
short work day,and good working con
ditions are fundamental in the reali
cation of American standards of liv
ing.
"In the achievement of these pur
poses all are concerned, whatever thei
, race, creed, sex or nationality.
"To inject issues upon which ther
, is wide individual diversity is to SOY
the seeds of dissension where unit
l is essential and at the same time t
add no luster to the issue that is pro
jected out Of its proper sphere.
"The trade union movement wi
J gain by concentrating it's energie
upon labor problems and maintaining
! fine regard for the right of indi
vidual members to decide persona
matters in accord with their own bes
judgment.
"The same principle is essential i
the maintenance of international la
Dor organizations and undertakings.
"There must be autonomy upo
national issues with cooperation fo
the promotion of mutual interests.
"This cannot be interpreted t
mean, however, that any individua
or group has right to make decision
irrespective of their effect upol
others.
i "We decide most wisely when w
regard all relations between friend
and realize we are in truth ou

which we have builded!"

which people will not need brains.
The eventuality is world in which
people will have chance to use their
brains, for they will not be occupied
from early morning until late at
night with the business of gaining

His gospel of low selling prices,
high wages and small unit profits is
to be the principle of the new civilza-
ton. Agriculture is to be saved by
becoming an adjunct to mannufac-
ture; village industries, fed by cleo

Intense physical effort will disap-
pear. Disease will be banished by
perfect foods and perfect living con-
ditions. 1t is a civilization in which
neither governments, wars nor labor
unions will interfere with the process
of productive management.

day dream of Mr.. Ford's will recog-
nize much gold and dross mingled to-
gether. He may be the prophet OF

UNIONS

UNIONS
Everyone agrees that Labor Day
is glorious occasion, honoring the
dignity of labor. But some people
who are making a holiday of this day
don't like unions. They believe that
the trades union really has no right
to exist.
However, were there no unions
there would be no Labor Day or any
dignity in labor The union made
the worker strong by uniting him
with other workers of his trade; it
made him heard when he wanted a
living wage and decent conditions for
work; it raised his standard of living.
So that today thousands of him
went driving into the country in
their own machines that were filled
with well-dressed wives and children.
The manufacture Of their machines
and of their clothing and of all the
other things of material well-being
that they enjoy has given employ
ment to millions of their fellow
workers; their ability to buy these
things has prospered the manufac-
turer and the merchant.
This is what the union has done for
the prosperity Of America.-Cincin-

WHITTIER OUR SHIPS?

Where is the Leviathan going? And

other ships now owned by the gov
ernment and operated by the shipping
board?
And what of the seamen under the
Administrations plans?

his summer camp the president of
the American International Company,
Mr. Matthew Brush, who is interested
in bidding for these ships, having been
shown the advertisements, he says,
by Chairman T. V. O'Connor, of the
shipping board.
The American International Com
pany is the largest stockholder in the
International Mercantile Marine. In
ternational Mercantile Marine controls
the Oceanic Navigation Company,
which operates the White Star line,
which flies the British flag.

Germany when the United States de-
clared war, and made into great
fleet, finally and for song, to &c
to England?

CONSENT DEGREES
WHAT FOR?

Of late there has been much in
print about consent DEGREES in the
cases of alleged combinations in re-
straint of trade.
The accused outfit consents to a
decree which satisfies the prosecutors.
which means that the original charge
is at least modified and there is no
trial.
The consent decree is a device by
which trial is avoided-and it may
be assumed with great safety that
the defendant gets at least part of
what ne wants in any decree to which
he agrees without trial.
The only case in which consent
decree may work an injustice to the
defendant is where the defendant can
be frightened into writing his name
to decree dictated by the prosecution
as, for example, in the case of
union.
