Henry Ford, pioneer of mass produc-
ton, will enter the thirty-ffth year
Of his industrial history next We'd
nesday
The year ahead may decide the
question of mass unionization of some
10000 Ford workers.
Opposing forces are the Ford Motor
Co., wholly owned by the Ford fam
lily, and the Committee for Industrial
Organization, led by John L. Lewis.
The American Federation Of Labor,
at odds with the c. l. O. over policies,
may take hand.
Ford started his company June l6,
1908, with assets of $4,000 and his
own mechanical genius. Company
estimates now place its value at ap-
proxlmately 100000 900, half cash.
1t owns the worlds biggest industrial
unit here, II other plants in the
United States and four in Canada, and
has sold 25,00O,0oo cars around the
world. Ford profits for 1886 were re-
ported at 26,426,6s8.
Homer Martin. president OF the

exactly 10 months older than the Ford
company. He was born August Is

Lommen Pushes Bill for
orestry Building in Ely

The introduction of the bill for a
100000 forestry building in this city
is meeting with some opposition. In
commenting on the attitude of Joseph
Kraker of our district, in the last issue
of the Miner, we somewhat brushed the
hair on Kraker's back the wrong way
and several repercussions have followed,
also several bouquets.
The people of Ely were very thankful
to Senator Lommen for introducing
the bill. Also the city officials who were
in st. Paul in regard to PWA and tax
matters report valuable assistance rem
dered by the senator on the affairs upon
which they were engaged.
Not only did Representative Kraker
throw monkey wrench into the ma
chinery for the erection of forestry
building in Ely but other difficulties
have arisen which will probably set at
naught the efforts made by Senator
Lommen to assure the location of the
structure in this city, if built.
In a letter to the chairman of the
Legislative Committee of the American
Legion, the senator gives several valid
reasons for the construction of the
building here. In it he cites the proX-
unity of Ely to the timber growth of
the state; the nearneSs of the Superior
National Forest; the station Of the
largest force of game wardens in the
state at Winton near this city.
In the letter he also pays tribute to
