negotiators he talked with during
the strike as "a high-class group
of men"
Rewards for individual initiative
will continue under the union con-
tract as they were before it was
signed, Mr.. Bennett declared, and
IF a man is capable, we'll boost
him. Henry Ford, he said, is in
one of his Detroit plants nearly
every day, and will continue to give
credit for individual effort above
the average
The signing of the contract does
not indicate change in Mr.. Fords
industrial philosophy, according to
Mr.. Bennett, as everything the
union has asked and everything
they've been for, we've been for for
years-working conditions. good pay
and seniority have been Mr.. Ford'S
ambition as long as I've been with
him."
Only Slight Change.
Referring to the provision in the
contract for layoffs and rehiring on
a seniority basis, Mr.. Bennett said,
The men feel like, 1 guess, they
have better understanding of the
layoffS than they did We used the
findings of our sociological depart
ment. Lots of times, if man had
been here a long time we'd lay him
off if we knew he had money to
save the job of a man we'd put on
a week ago to help out of a hole. y
The ordering of layoffs on a basis
of chronological seniority is the only
change in the policy of the company,
Mr.. Bennett revealed.
The contract also provided that
the famous Ford Service Depart
ment operated by Mr.. Bennett be
eliminated and plant protection be
taken over by employees identified
by badges. Mr.. Bennett said the
unions Interpretation of shop
committeeman is my Interpretation
/ of a service man. That's why /
agreed with the union to replace my
service men"
Before the strike, Mr.. Bennett
asserted, there were 5000 union shop
| stewards who were slowing down
work ito point where we either
had to quit or do one thing or an
other" Now, he said, there are only
$50 union shop committeeman doing
! the same work.
Harmonious Relations.
Mr. Bennett indicated that the
relationship between capital and
labor at the Ford plant is more
harmonious now than in many
years. THE contract is working fine
right now, although before the
strike there was lot of propaganda
that separated the men in the plant
from the foremen," he added
Asked about the co,npany's opinion
of the National Labor Relations
Board. which has found against the
company in many suits filed by its
employees, Mr.. Bennett said, People
know what the N. L. r. B. did to
us" But he refused to amplify the
statement.
Mr.. Bennett emphasized that Mr..
Ford is doing Everything he can do
for the Government during this
emergency" The minute the Presi-
dent declared an emergency, every
thing changed. He'd stand by the
President in any emergency, but
he'd never change his opinion on
war.
"Crank" Letters Stop.
The settlement of the strike, Mr.
Bennett disclosed, has stopped a
flood of crank" letters protesting
the company's labor policies which
he had received for the last five
years. He has received only one

Although Oldsmobile dealers
sold more used cars during the
first three months of this year
than in any corresponding
period in company history. de-
mand for them will rise even to
higher levels during the next

Ralston, Oldsmobile's general

Ralston based his prediction
not only on seasonal trends and
improved business conditions.
but on the quality of the used
cars now offered on the market.
Due to an unprecedented
new car demand. buyers today
have options OF more style,

said Ralston. Because of these
options more buyers are able to
md the kind Of cars best suited

How to Cure a Souse

Doctor Carroll-who is not a
prohibitionist, so far as 1 can
gather, gives various methods
for the cure Of chronic sousing.
The most certain way-and l
think he Is rights the rebuild
ing of the will and the introduc-
ton Of counter-enthusiasms and
interests. One illusion drives
out another.
Doctor Carroll Is, as I said, a
very serious man, and he can
see only one side OF the drink
question. He does not see that
alcohol, like gunpowder. meat
eating. airplanes, sex life and
almost everything else, may be
a blessing as well as a blight.
1 shall, in conclusion, point
out to Doctor Carroll that Hit
Ter, Stain and Mussolini are
non-alcoholics and that there is
hardly a great genius-in the
arts particularly-who did not
take his "snifter'' when he
wanted ii.

One Great Blessing

Now in my opinion that has
nothing to do with the moderate
drinker-the man who knows
how TO handle the stuff"
AS Doctor Carroll treats the
problem of alcoholism seriously
Iand in order TO help, he natu-
lrally forgets one aspect Of alco-
hol-but not "alcoholism"-that
is beneficient.
That is, drinking on the so
cial" side. Moderate social"
drinking inspires the greatest
gift bestowed on man-laughter.
With a drink or two under our
belt at a dinner we see the
"hnny side" Of all things, con-
versation crackles, and there is
a real, healthy escape for an
hour or two into Don't Care
Land. -
OF course, there is always a
reaction afterward. But there is
