Terrific Speed-Up and
Unemployment in Ford
Factories Described
(By Worker Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich.--Conditions in the
Ford Motor Company were never
worse than they are today.
On June Goth we were informed by
our foreman that there would be no
more work for two weeks. Since the
first of June wages have been slashed
as low as 1920 a week. After the
writer had worked in the factory eight
days, for total of sixteen hours, he
discovered on going to the timekeeper
for pay release, that his envelope was
five dollars short. This he was told
was security" for the badge and
store check. The writer received $9.40
for two weeks.
In the great and glorious u. S. A.
in the factory the ''golden hearted man
Henry Ford" las the Detroit Times
describes him) men and women work
ers are worse off than they have ever
been.
Terrific Speed-up.
1.-THE money that he (Ford) has ac-
cumulated is not the product of down
trodden, underpaid, blood-sweat Ia
bor," newspaper says. That is a lie,
Ford is enjoying the millions stolen
from workers.
In Department 927, Job F-7333 one
man used to turn out rs u pieces in
eight hours; Ford charged $1.65 fol
one piece, total of $42.48; the work
er got $3.50; Ford made $35.28.
Later, when we were told that we
would get six days pay for five weeks
work, a terrific speed-up system was
put into effect, each man being forced
to turn out rs pieces in eight hours
which meant $128.70 for Ford; eigh
dollars of which went to the worker

Cheer Cal With Claim
Third Term Not Issue

WASHINGTON, July THE third
term is far from being an issue
throughout the middle west, Senator
Curtis of Kansas, Republican leader
in the senate, said today upon his re-
turn to the capital after three months
in his home state and adjacent terri
tory.
'"In our section" Senator Curtis
said, 81 find no such thing as third
term issue. The people are too busy
to talk politics. They are more in
terested in taking care of their crops
and the resources of the state and
nation"
Flood control legislation likely will
be foremost among the major tasks
confronting the SEVENTEEN congress
when it assemblies in December, Sem
ator Curtis predicted.

 Trust Exemption Sought

New York, Jan. 6 R1The oil in- dustry is seeking no exemption if ,m the Sherman act and similar laws, E. W. Clark. of Los Angeles, newly elected president of the American Petroleum Institute. said in state ment today.
 What is desired is to remove by appropriate legislation, as recom- mended by the federal oil conserva ton board, the uncertainty as to whether specific agreements fall within or without the scope of the antitrust laws" he said.
 Expressing regret at "a miscon- ception" that exemption from fed eral laws governing trusts is sought, MT. Clark stated that the institute, which is as representative Of the oil industry as any trade organiza tion could be-" wishes only to con- form to the federal oil conservation boards recommendation that con- servation and prevention of waste by brought about through agree ments by producers.
 MT. Clark pledged his organization to cooperation with the government in solving the conservation problem and promised deliberate consedera- ton with the fullest publicity"

In Rural Districts Busses Already Have Supplant- ed Many in Northeast, Although in Cities the Trolleys Seem Supreme.

New York, Jan. P-Small rail- way lines throughout the northeast are being abandoned and the honk of the motor bus horn is superseding the clang of the trolley bell in many sections.
 Where xthe two have challenged each other for supremacy as public means, frequently the two have con- bined.
 A survey completed by the Asso- ciated Press today shows abandon ment of trolley lines has been par ticularly noticeable in the less populous sections.
 But in the largest cities. the street railway systems, while here and there losing money, are still the most generally patronized means of trans- portation.
 But lines have become formidable competitors of street railways throughout New England in the last few years. but in most cases the troll ley lines have met the situation by operating busses themselves on their busy routes.
 Trolley line officials there ascribe dwindling street car patronage to in- dividually owned passenger automo- piles. They say their profits re- gently have been meagre.
 Individually owned automobiles in the big cities, like New York and Philadelphia, however, in the opin- ion of Lucius S. Storrs, managing director of the American Electric Railway association, eventually will help rather than hinder street cars.
 Street Congestion
 Street congestion, caused by the increase in the number of pleasure cars" said MT. Storrs, ''is rapidly driving people back to use electric line service. Prospects for the fu- ture of the electric rail lines man. ned by progressive arrangements in Communities where service is war ranted never were better"
 New Jersey reports the Public Service Railway Co., operates 1,500 street cars and the Public Service Transportation Co.,, sister organiza- ton, operates more than 500 motor busses in 165 New Jersey Municipali- ties ranging from Newark, with nearly half a million inhabitants, to communities of few thousand.
 Six years ago, says R. H. Horton. Of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co.,, only sixteen electric railway companies in the United States were operating motor busses. In 1925. railway companies to the number of 2So were using them. He believes the deduction to draw Is the CO., ordination, rather than competition. is inevitable.

BERKELEY DIVINITY TO BE MOVED NEARER YALE
Trustees Feel Middletown Institution Win Benefit By
 Change.

New York, Jan. 6.-Pi-Berkeley Divinity school, at Middletown, Conn.,, is to be removed to New Haven, Conn.,, to site close to Yale university. Henry c. Leach, chair man of the Berkeley associates, an- nounced last night.
 In making the announcement, at a dinner in honor of the Rev. c. A. Studdert- Kennedy. chaplain to King George of England, Mir. Leach said:
 For many years the trustees have had in mind that the school ought to be established in New Haven, in close proximity to Yale. They felt this would not only be a gain for the school but for the church at large. The authorities at Yale university have welcomed the proposal and have generously said they felt that Berkeley might make real contri- button to the life of the university.

SMALL RAILWAY LINES CHALLENGED
 FOR BUSINESS SUPREMACY BY AUTO

In Philadelphia there are now sub- ways, elevateds, street car lines, motor busses and auxiliary taxicabs.
 "All of these," Mir. Horton asserts. should be properly coordinated with view to placing at the service of the community that type of trans portation which is bet suited for the occasion"
 Such coordination. on the greatest scale ever attempted, has been Sug- gested also for New York by the present operators of its two vast subway lines.
 New York Situation
 New York, with very special and complicated transportation problem. is considering the suggestion with a view to placing it before the legisla- ture just opening at Albany.
 The two subways. together with the city's new one in process of con- struction, would form the backbone of a semi-public management corporation involving those lines, the elevated lines. trolley car lines and bus lines. The combined transit trackase, if laid in one straight line, would reach from the Woolworth building to the city hall as Hannibal Missouri. Over ! their lines, according to latest re- ports, go more than two and a half billion passengers a year.
 I New York city busses are used mainly for short hauls, and are here and there operated for emergency service, pending franchise grants. by the city. Fifth avenue Is the scene of the most suspicious service. a 10 cent fare bus handling nearly 70,000,000 fare annually but only one fourth as many are handled on the Third avenue elevated lines.
 Upstate New York and the west ern sections are finding the busses more convenient than New Workers have found them. Buffalo, through its International Railway Co.,, report ed an operating loss of s2O0,O00 last year on all it's lines.
 In Pennsylvania
 In Pennsylvania. automobile bus feeder" lines have been placed in operation by city and interurban trolley companies in their efforts to meet the growing competition of in- 1 dependent motor bus operators throughout the state.
 ] Privately owned motor buses made such inroads into revenue of the trolley lines of Connecticut that in 1923 and 1925 the general assembly gave the Connecticut company the right to operate motor busses and tc abandon non- paying lines.

SOCIETY WEDDING
 PLANS SWITCHED
Guests Wait at Church During
 ziegler-hurphy Nuptials

New York, Jan. 6 P-A sudden switch of plans that left large crowd waiting at the Fifth avenue Presbyterian church while William Ziegler, Jr., young baking powder millionaire. and Miss Helen Martin Murphy, of Troy. N. Y. were mar ried at the Hotel Plaza, remained unexplained today.

 The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Henry Howard, of the Fifth avenue Presbyterian church. Miss Murphy is a Catholic.
 l The marriage united two large for tunes. MT. Ziegler, the nephew and adopted son of the late William Zieg- Ter, founder of the Royal Baking Powder company, inherited s20,O0O,- 900 of the Ziegler estate. The brides father is senior member of the Troy law firm of Murphy, Aldrich and Guy. She is a granddaughter of the late United States Senator Edward Murphy. Jr., and the late Henry Townsend Martin, Albany banker. This is MT. Ziegler's second mar riage. He was divorced from his first wife, Gladys Virginia Watson, | in Paris on September g, 1926 They were married here on December II, 1912, and have two children.

Name of First Person to Use Service Withheld Stop Watches Used to Check Up Time of Those Filing Applications.

New York, Jan. 6 R - The vic- tor in the race to be the first to use the New York-London radio phone remained a secret of the telephone company today, not to be revealed | except by the winner when he is connected with London tomorrow morning.
 Officials of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company maintained that the name of the first commercial user of the trans. Atlantic phone was merely a mat ter of business between the con- pany and the patron. Between 30 and 40 persons applied within less than two minutes yesterday for the honor of being the first to pay s25 minute for the privilege of talk ing across the ocean.
 Supervisors with stop watches recorded the requests as they came in in an effort to determine who should be given first use of the line.
 Stop Watches Used
 Although S:30 had been set by the company as the "zero' hour requests for London numbers be- gan arriving on the Tong distance trans- Atlantic" switchboards as early as S:25. These calls were scrapped on the ground that the would-be takers had beaten the gum
 One patron got "central' on the phone at S:29:30 - just 30 seconds before the start. The stop watch was against him, however, and his call went into the discard. A sec ond try by the same party is said to have arrived 45 seconds after the real commencement of the race
 Sporting events have never been timed more accurately, it was said Forty-seven operators were en- gagged In receiving calls which were recorded on special form tickets and held aloft. A upervisor-there were five of them immedatoly snapped the stop watch and the turn of the patron to converse across the Atlantic was established
 Despite the rush for assignments it was said no calls arrived simul- ltaneously. The time between the first two calls was said to be one fifth of a second.
 In London calls for connections began arriving at 1:30 p. m.. which is S:30 a. m. in the American metropolis. Between 20 and 30 ap- plicants were said to have been re. ceived.
 ! Whether the first unofficial cal will be put through from New York or London has not been an- nounced. The first official talk will be between Walter S. Clifford
