company planned basic wage of
$40 day which would be lar high
err than that of its competitors
or the maximum demands of the
United Automobile Workers who
have signed agreements with Gen
eral Motors and Chrysler and now
seek to organize Ford workers.
The aging manufacturer refused
to confirm or deny the reports
that he planned minimum $40

Fords statement was his first
since his announcement Wednes-
day that he would never recognize
the United Automobile Workers or
any union.
Labor union organizations are
the worst thing that ever struck
the earth because they take away
a mans independence he said.
