The Distinctive Henry J. 111 CENTRE ST., rwUlitWIIBE, DECLARES FORD Labor Trdbla Threats Did Not Bring Inut Profit Sharing TALKS OF INTERESTING PLAN Share of Profits For Share of Work la Motor Car Magnate's Idea of In dustrial Equity Comment on Plan, Among the many hundreds of auto mobile manufacturers in New York to attend the auto show none is com mending the attention of Henry Kord of the Kord Motor company, the con cern which recently announced an ex tensive profit sharing plan for Us wcrkmen. According to the plan, which went Into effect last Monday, the minimum wage for employes in the Ford works Is now $5 for an eight-hour day. Where there were formerly two shifts a day there are three now, affording em ployment to about 4.000 more men. The Kord company expects to distrib ute $10,000,000 this way during the year. Newspaper men hurled question after question at Ford regarding the motives behind his firm's recent an nouncement. "I don't believe In charity," he went on. "Do you? A man or woman Is entitled to what he earns, but not to more than that. If he works and Is paid a decent wage he does not need or want any charity or philanthropy. He deserves to be as Independent as anybody else and wants to be." Mr. Ford was asked about reports that the International Workers of the World, by their efforts to Invade the open shop field of the automobile In dustry In Detroit, had had something to do with his decision to share profits with his workmen. "Haven't had any labor troubles since I've been In business," he re-' plied. "Detroit Is an open shop town and we have paid higher wages than anybody else, so why should we have labor troubles? "No, we were not forced Into our present plan by labor troubles or any thing else. Our policy Is to make 20, 000 or 30,000 contented and happy rather than make a few millionaires." Asked about earlier "welfare" work among his employes Mr. Ford said: "We have tried to find out where each employe's money went. We maintain a staff of twenty-eight phy sicians and two nurses In Detroit to look after our employes. We have In stalled every safety device that has seemed practical. "The only thing we don't tolerate Is drunkenness. Where the physicians report that an employe's wages are going for drink we try to persuade him to change his habits."
