sible authors beat a fast retreat and began to realize anew the
Virtues of ou r Am erican system. They suddenly saw th a t this

fo r th e individual. In other words, to p araphrase S tevenson’s
v®r»e, “ Home is the w riter, home from the sea. . . . ”
Eloquent testim ony of this new appreciation of our land is
found in the following words from one noted playw right, which
scarcely need fu rth e r com m ent:
“ W hat of our own country? O urs is a vast, spraw ling,
young nation, composed of men and women of all conceivable
racial origins, and all conceivable occupatins and habits and
points of view'. W e are by nature easy-going, haphazard, undis-
ejplined and ornery. And yet—the building of Am erica has been
the most trem endously successful mass achievement in all hum
an history.
“ If efficiency is the same as effectiveness, then we are by
fa r the most efficient people on earth.

DOES FORD PAY GOOD WAGES?
Heat sat jomb facts about Ford Labor.
parison of compensation insurance costs:
During the year ended November 30th,
1910, the Ford Payroll throughout the
United States averaged 113,628 hourly
wage earners, not including office em
ployes, students, or executives. They were
paid $185,109,639.12. On this basis, the
average annual wage was $1,629.05.
The national average rate in automotive
manufacturing plants as computed by the
National Association of Underwriters it
in excess of $1.50 premium on each $100
payroll. The Ford cost of workmen's
compensation is leu than 50c.
According to the latest available govern
ment figures, the annual average wage of
all workers in employment covered by
old age insurance law was $8 (1.00.
I f the 45,000,000 workers of this country
received the same average wage as Ford
employes, they would have had additional
wages of more than $35,000,000,000, thus
increasing the national income about
50%. T h in k what such an increase would
mean to the workers of this country and
to the American farmer, whose prices are
based on the national income.
This indicates that the chance of injury
in a Ford plant is much less than in the
average automobile plant.
The Ford Motor Company hat no age
lim it for labor, and in fact deliberately
attempts to keep older workers working.
The average age of Ford workers at the
Rouge and nearby plants is 38.7.
A recent check-up shows that nearly one-
half the workers at these Ford plants were
40 or over, falling into these age groups:
25,819
14,731
3,377
417
12
Wage scales in the Ford Rouge plants are
divided into three classifications:-
Unskilled , , ,
M inim um hiring wage . 75c per hour
Semi-skilled . . .
M inim um hiring wage . 80c per hour
Skilled . . .
Minimum hiring wage . 90c per hour
Higher wages are in consideration of
ability and years of service.
M inim um wage scales for unskilled labor
at the Rouge plant are the highest in the
industry. Top wages for skilled labor
compare favorably with, or arc higher
than, wages in other automobile plants.
N ow some facts on Ford labor conditions:
N o t only are*sanitation and other health
conditions the best in the industry, but
Ford also leads in safety devices for the
protection of employes. Proof of
this is found in the following com-

In addition to the so-called regular em
ployes, the Ford Motor Company has
hired, and now has on the payroll, at the
same regular hourly wage, thousands of
workers who are blind, crippled or other
wise incapacitated for normal productive
work. They are not selected for their
ability to build cars or to maintain the
plant. They are on the payroll because of
Henry Ford’s belief that the responsibility
of a large company to labor goes be
yond the point at which the unfortunate
worker can no longer produce profitably.
The above arc facts. They are open to
anyone who really wants to deal in facts.
Anyone who wants to get a job . . . buy a
car . . . or place a national defense con
tract on the basis of fair labor treat
ment must place Ford at the top
