EDSEL FORD TELLS
OF BIG AUTO PROFITS
Company Made $30,000,000 in
1914 Despite $5 Minimum
Daily Wage
'PROFIT-SHARING' DISPUTED
By the Associated rrcss
Mount Clemens, Mich., July 11.
Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford
Motor Company, resumed liis testi
mony thfs morning In the libel milt
brought by his father, Henry Ford,
ncninst the Chicago Dally Tribune.
The elder Ford was In court, ready
to follow him on the stand.
The examination of Edsel Ford was
by Elliot G. Stevenson, attorney for
the newspaper. The guarantee of $."i
a day minimum wage wns put in effect
on January 12, 101-1, witness testified,
and the net profits that year were ap
proximately $30,000,000.
, Mr. Stevenson, pursuing his theory
that the wage was something that the
v employes amply earned, and should not
be called "profit-sharing," ndduced that
In 1010, production had more thnu
doubled and net profits wore approxi
mately 500,000,000. This doubling of
profits, Mr. Stevenson pointed out, re
sulted in no change in the incomes of
employes and hence, he said, "the term
profit-sharing" was a misnomer.
Alfred Lucking, attorney for Henry
Ford, objected to any further investi
gation into the "private nffnirs of tiie
corporation."
The witness said thercw ns n surplus
of labor in 1014 at the wage scale pre
vailing, notwithstanding which the $3
was put in effect. '
It was Henry Ford's policy to keep
profits nt 2o,000,000 n year, Edsel
Ford said, and to this end It was the
custom to cut the prices of oars each
year. In 1910, however, it wns deemed
advisable to build blast furnaces and
expand otherwise. The price was not
cut that year, and the big profits re
, suited nnd urc now being used ns orig
inally contemplated.

Palmer Assailed
in Beer Test Case
Continued From Fata On
talnlng the demurrer, and that the
appeal had been taken to the t'nited
States Supreme Court, nnd that a de
cision might be expected early in the
fall.
Counsel declared that meanwhile
there was no definite rule of action for
the Department of Justice to follow,
nnd that, although Judge Rose, in
'Baltimore, had followed! precedent set
by the New York court, yet that was
but an extra judicial opinion, or dictum,
and if Judge Dickinson felt sure in his
own mind as to the meaning of the
congressional enactment he felt that he
Rhntlld feel nt: nprfpft liliertv in pirn pv-
' ( pression of his opinion nnd thus fix the
law tor tnis district, nc least tor tnc
months intervening before the appeal
could be decided.
Judge Dickinson replied that he had
never tried to evade or shirk his re
sponsibilities but was interested to
learn what avail n decision would be,
when an appeal to a higher tribuual
iwnn pending.
Many spectators crowded the court
room when the hearing in the test suits
opened.
Five attorneys nppeared for the gov
ernment, while n lone lawyer repre
sented the brewery Interests.
Former Judge Jenkins, in opening
his argument for the dismissal of the
test suits, said the sole point in the
case had nlrcady been decided by the
Federal District Court and the Court
of Appeals in New York and the Fed
eral District Court at Baltimore.
He said all other United States Dis
trict Courts throughout the country
should follow the precedent established
by these tribunals in sustaining the de
murrers of the brewers and retail deal
ers until the United States Supreme
Court had decided an appeal which is
now before It.
Intoxicating Qualities Is Question
The crux of all the cases, said Judge
Jenkins, is whether the government is
, forced to allege that the beer manufac
tured by the local brewing company
was, or Is, intoxicating. Unless this
allegation is made, prosecutions under
the wartime prohibition law, cannot
stand, he contended.
He read provisions of the law which
prohibit the use of grains, cereals and
other products, after May 1, 1010, In
the manufacture of "beer, wine and
other malt or vinous liquors for bever
age purposes."
'The English language, with which
your honor and myself are somewhat
familiar," said the attorney, "has its
, idioms. If a person were to say to
ye-u that Brown aud Smith and two
other men were at a certain place you
will rightfully assume from your knowl
edge of the English language and its
Idioms that Brown and Smith were men,
' "Or, If you were told that Brown
, and Smith and two other white men
were seen together, you yvould know
' that Brown and Smith were white mm
LjPj.', too, otherwise, the word 'other' would
T !,.. AiilTnf ilnrA Anil ltrlian k .
?T!i r- w ".r i '"'.'
Smith nnd two other white men, and
we know that the net means' hat beer
that Is Intoxicating cannot be manu
factured. Must Chargo Beer Intoxicating
"It Is quite plain, therefore, that the
government must charge that the beer
manufactured by this defendant was, or
Is Intoxicating, otherwise its eases
fall."
When the New York courts, wh.ose
decision was followed by -Judge Rose,
In llnltimorc, held thnt the govern
ment must allege nn "intoxication,"
Judge Jenkins sntd he nssumed thnt
all other contemplated prosecutions by
the government would be held in
abeyance until the Supreme Court had
passed upon the question.
He urged the court here to follow the
precedent established by Judge Hose in
adopting the ruling of the Circuit Court
of Appeals of New York, pointing out
thnt nn appeal is now pending (.before
the highest court in the land, upon
which n decision will settle the ques
tion nt issue.
"Beer" of Any Kind Violation
If the government's position is sus
tained, all beverages called "beer,"
whether alcoholic or not, will come un
der the wartime prohibition ban. The
government contends thnt nonalcoholic
beverages, if they use the name "beer,"
violated the prohibition law.
The government's' legal forces were
led by William 1,. Trierson, assistant
attorney general. Flanking him weic
United Stnt'cs District Attorney Knne
nnd Assistant District Attoniejs Da
Costa, Walnut and Achcy.
Soon after the hearing stnrted, Fran
cis J. Maneely, one of the attorneys
for Nell Ilonner, president of the Re
tail Liquor Dealers' Association of
Philadelphia, joined former Judge
Jenkins ut the counsel table.
A test case is pending against Ilonner
for the sale of n bottle of beer to nn
agent of the Department of Justice, by
arrangement, so thnt the courts could
be nsked to determine whether a sale
Is illegal.
Sproul Can Direct
Registry, Says M'Cain
rentlnucd I'rom l'nse One
week when the pressure for Woodruff
and Gable became so strong that the
Governor decided to drop him. It is
not unlikely thnt Mr. Hicks will be
taken care of in some other way at
the proper time.
An impartial jjrw of the composition
of the board suggests that it will act
with fairness consistent with partisan
linos; and et whatever difference there
may be will be in fuvor of the independ
ent clement of the Republican party.
Mr. Fell by affiliation and environment
would naturally have u leaning toward
the Republican Alliance but whether
this will be strong enough to influence
him in delicate situations is a matter
for the future to decide.
Campaign In Full Swing
With the exed question of the
Registration Board settled the munici
pal ciimpaign will now go full' .speed
ahead. The action of the independent
Republicans, ho merit the title of the
"Allies," in deciding to abandon the
delegate convention scheme for nomina
tion of candidates will meet with gen
eial commendation among the simon
pure reformers. Camouflage as thej
might, the proposed meeting was noth
ing more than a revival of the despised
county delegate comeution which the
independents fought and licked jears
ugo. "A committee of "one huudrcd"
sounds more like business.
Chui rinan George W. Coles, of the
Town Meeting party, gave another ex
hibition of his political common sense
when he cast aside the crown at yes-1
terday's conference of the represent!!- I
tives of the auti-urc allies. It was
suggested when a committee of one hun
dred wns proposed to take charge of the
campaign that Chairman Coles be dele
gated to appoint the committee. He re
spectfully decliued. He insisted that
representatives of all the allies get to
gether nnd do the work.
Had lip np -
rented it would have laid him open to
tho charge of dominating the situation.
Itesides, it isn't one man's job by any
means.
The committee of one hundred will
represent every section of Philadelphia
The best men in the independent ranks
are to bo chosen. And in this con
nection n delicate question may arise
which will involve resignations or de
clinations to serve. They will come
from the gentlemen who desire to be
candidates for the short council, and
who would consequently not care to
nerve on the one hundred. For this com
mute will name the candidates to be
voted for at tho primaries.
Tho Vnre organization on the surface
was quicker on tile trigger than the In
dependent Allies in their appeal to the
returned soldiers' vate. The work of
canvassing the city is already under
way : at least will start the beginning
of the coming week. Eery returned
soldier will receive personal attention
from the canvassers and the division
leaders. There doubtless will be ral
lies, reunions, dinners, and all sorts of
division diversions for the returned
heroes, who also will be the object of
campaign solicitude from both sides.
Day of Slates Declared Tast
One of the most significant things
Senator Penrose has uttered recently
wns n remark thnt he dropped to a
friend during his brief visit to Philadel
phia ou Monday last. It was in con
nection with the nomination of an in
dependent Mayoralty candidate duriug
which the visitor spoko about a possible
"slatp."
"The day of slates Is past," remarked
the scuator. "They have gone with
e obsolete political methods. Any
men nowadays can announce himself as
u candidate and go before the people.
Ho must make himself known, get ac
quainted with the workers nnd address
meetings wherever he enn to define his
position. The enndidnte who depembj
on being 'slated' these days without
working for his nomination has small
hope of success." Then he cited the
cast of Judge Kephart, who canvassed
the state without much encouragement,,
nt first, until nnauy ne lorceei recogni
tion of his claims and won out hand
somely. But slate or no slate, no candidates
will bo named by cither party until the
last minute. Everybody who desires
to be a candidate for any position what
ever will have his opportunity to get
into the running. By staving off pre
mature announcements of a choice it
will preserve the candidates rom at
tack just that much longer. And it Is
nu net of charity almost to do this, be
cause this will be the banner campaign
for bitterness, vindictive attack and,
one. relrht safolv sar. brutality. It

SEES NATION'S RIGHTS GONE
By the Associated Press
Atlanta, (Ja.. July 11. Appealing to
fhe South to stand against the le.iguo
of nations, Senator .Imps A. Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, declared nt a
mass-meeting here lust night that the
It ague p.lan would sacrifice national
lights and place the destinies of ll.c
American people in the hands of foreign
Kings nnd diplomats.
"I eomj to jou," said Senator Reed,
"as an old-fashioned simon pure Dem
ocrat. 1 iinvc never scratched a Demo
cratic ticket. I believe in the doctrine
of local self-government. 1 believe the
interests of the American people arc
safer in the hands of the representatives
of all the people assembled in Wash
ington than they will be in the hand
of the representatives nf tho govern
ments, kings nnd autocrats of Emopv
and Asia.
"I deny the right of any temporal y
officeholder to so employ the powers of
his office a to compel our sons to sac
rifice their lives in the contests of other
nations while he sits secure arid snf
at home.''
Charging that n vast propaganda for
the league had been organized by former
President Taft and backed largely by
international bankers, Mr. Reed con
tinued :
"In part this propaganda has been
illegally paid for out of the moneys
of tho United States. Ecn while the
Liberty Loan drives were on, literature
advocating tho league, printed t gov
ernment expense, was furnished to tne
four-minute speakers who were to ad
dress audiences."
Friend and Foe Plan
Bitter League Fight
Contlnuril 1'rnm I'liuo Ono
000,000.000 descned deliberate consid
eration. It was indicntpil at the White House
that the Piesicleut was devoting consid
erable attention to the rider on the agri
cultural bill repealing the da) light sav
ing law. He has before him many peti
tions, some urging thnt he sign the
bill nnd others that he cto it. So
far as could be ascertained the Prcsi
dent's mind still was open.
The President has mapped out a def
inite piogrnm for dealing with the mnt
tirs before him nnd it is said this will
be rigidly adhered to until he starts on
his speaking tour. On the advice of his
personal phjsician. Rear Admiral Gray
son, the President will go lo the golf
links every day for exorcise if it is
possible for him to do so.
Mr. Wilson is said to be in excellent
health, but ftis phjsician deems it ud
usable that he spend as much time as
possible in the open in preparation for
his vigorous speaking tour.
Opponents of the league of uafions
early challenged the assertion of the
Piesident, made in his interview with
newspaper men at the White House,
that it would take n two-thirds vote of
the Senate to adopt reservations.
Ijodge Quotes Senate Law
Senator Lodge, combating the state
ment, cited rules governing Senate pro
cedure with treaties, to show only a
majoiity otc was required to adopt res
ervations. Ho mentioned Rule 117,
which reads :
"On the final question to acHise nnd
consent to the ratification in the form
agreed to, the concurrence of two-thirds
' l en-nine- pivsciH suuii ut- iit-ucysury
10 ueieriuiui- it in uic immune ive, out
all other motions and questions upon a
treaty shall be decided bj a majority
vote, except it motion to postpone in
definitely, which shall bo decided by a
vote of two -thirds."
The Senator also referred to amend
ments made to the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain when it was ratified
by the Senate March 7, 11112, ns show
ing thn a majority le was auflicient.
An amendment, providing for reserva
tions on the Monroe Doctrine, uud
purely American questions, such ns im
migration, wus adopted, forty -one to
thirty -eight. 4.,utor, the treaty was
ratified by the two-thirds ote.
Says President is in Knur
"The President is in eiror," said
Senator Lodge "The Senate rule
plainly shows that a majority vote is
sufficient to amend a treaty, whether
through reservation or any other
method. The Senate votes upon a
resolution to ratify a treaty. Amend
ments may be made to thnt resolution
before tho vote on ratification is taken
aud they can be adopted by u majority
vote. It Is exuetly the same procedure
us iu voting nmenilments to 11 bill.
There is no question whatever upon the
point."
Mr. Lodge thought that reservations
of the treaty would be included in the
ratification resolution by means of vu
rious amendments, or a single amend
ment. A separate independent vote
would be taken upon them before the
Senate reached a vote on ratification.
Republican senators insist that they
have enough votes to carry reserva
tions, and argue that the only course
for supporters of the league to elim
inate thc-ameudments, once adopted,
will be to rejeot the treaty. Mills, they
say, will throw on the Democrats the
onus of defeating the treaty.
Hitchcock and Lodge Agree
Senator Hitchcock ngrced with Scua
tor Lodge that it would require only a
majority vote to r-dopt reservations. He
assumed that the President meant to
convey the Idea that 4t would tuke a
two-thirds vote to adopt the trcuty with
the reservations included in it.
"Tho Senate, I am confident.' will not
vote any of the reservations Into tho
treuty," said .Mr. Hitchcock. "The
foreign relations commmitteo will con
sider a motion by Senator Knox early
next week to separate tho league coven
ant from the treaty. There is na indi
cation that the motion will prevail."

As to financial power, the report said
in pnrt :
"The packer has drawn to a marked

for liquid funds. To assure himself

packer lias secured affiliation through

Mr. Wilson are directors iu banks nf

the powerful interests nt the sources of
credit, the packers' power is great, not
only for finam-ing their own national
and international operations, but for
affecting, for good or for ill, the credit
of cattle producers and of competitors
or customers in any line."
After reviewing the interest of the
packers in the leather, fertilizer, rot
tonseed oil, grain and breakfast food
industries, the report said :
"Tho reason why the packers arc
seeking control of the substitutes for

have little to gain in turning yi them

"This latest report of the Federal

"I say that the large packers anil
their iniliviilunl businesses arc n public

down the spread between the lhcstmk

expenses. About - per cent of this
turnover is earned by the packer as net

"II is to be rcgietted that in these
