It is all the ooie convincing for that. The first reason for his success is that he operates his railway like his factory. His what they are told, regardless of. the name of their job. An engine er works in the shops if he has any timo left in his day, and there is no such thing as overtime pay for anybody. The Adamson act was designed to create overtime as well as to give ten hours pay for eight hours work. The pending bill to abolish the Labor Board is designed to compel the recognition of the national unions, with particular intent to continue their "featherbed rules. On one of the leading railways there are forty-fou- r rules designed to restrict service within classifications and thirty-fivrules workers do e enforce duplicate payments for a single service. There aTe scores of other rules for classifications designed to increase pay, or to pay for work not done, or to monopolize jobs for the unions. Henry Ford could not produce either service or profits under such to rules. He is able to defy the railroad unions because he pays higher wages than the unions ask or the Labor Board awards. That is his second explanation of his railway method. He has no labor disputes and therefore the Labor Board has no power over him. His minimum pay is about $25 monthly above the general average of the highest class railways, but his men earn their wages. He began by dismissing 1,200 men, and now employs about 300 fewer than the previous company to transport 2,500.-00- 0 more tons. Mr. Ford says that he worked his wonders, with the aid of a single million capital. It appears that he needed in his operation proportionately about as much new capital as other railways. His result is creditable, but not markedly better than the Improvement on the change from Federal administration to private operation. There could not be a plainer lesson against reversing that "progress back to Federal operation. Its object is to make work for the mass by reducing it for individuals. Henry Fords way is to increase production by making individuals earn their pay. New York Times. 9 from a minor position to the top and he thoroughly understands every detajl in telephony.
