FORD PROPOSES
 TO BEAT UNIONS
Boost Wages of Employees Far Beyond Prices Paid
 By Lewis Group

New York, April 9(UP)-The New York Daily News said in dis patch from Washington today that Henry Ford planned to boost his em- ployes' wages in an effort to thwart the United Automobile Workers campaign to unionize his factories.
 "The latest tip-off," the dispatch said, lis that Henry Ford intends to lick the unions with generous distribution of that great pile of Ford cash.
 Henry, to keep the unions out, is getting ready to announce a wage scale and present chart of work ing conditions which will boost the ante far above anything which the c. I. O. (Committee for Industrial Organization) has won from Gen. eral Motors or Chrysler.
 Ford Tactics of Past
 '"The advance information is in direct line with the Ford tactics in the past. Ford, Q quarter Of . cen- tury ago, startled American indus try when he announced his $5-a-day minimum for every worker.
 "If the 73 year old auto magnate decides to pay. every man at least $1O day there will be very few ob- jections. And that, according to Ford men here, is just what Henry intends to do.
 "He will give the boys more money than the union leaders ever asked for, meet with spokesmen of em- ployes and adjust every grievance to the satisfaction of the workers, but never never recognize the union or give in to the closed shop"
