■ km ai etiÉéhúÉtáát* NO SWIVEL CHAIR ' FOR FORD’S SON stayed at home o u r in g war TO HELP IN PLANT— REFUSED TO TAKE UNIFORM. FATHER WAS RESPONSIBLE Declare» He Told Ed»el T hat W ar Work In Factory Needed Him— Would Not Accept Safety F irst C om m lulsn. Alt. Clemens, M i c h . — Henry Kora, during the last hour of bis seven days ou the u i j.e s » »Lind, took o c c & m o u to claim lull repouslbility (or his ¿ou. E a s e l F ord’s, claim (or exem ption (r jui tho selective draft, " lie w anted to enlist, s a id Air. Ford, "but 1 told ban th a t he could do more good w here he - was. He was o lit red several c o m m ie - ■ions wuich would have perm itted him to w ear a uniform and stay r.g h t in th e factory, but he w ouldn't accept them .’ Having made their decision, it was shown, both Mr. Ford and his son ro- lus< d to camoufiage It behind a, swivel chair com m ission carrying boo s and spurs. This subject, the introduction uf which has been aw aited ev er since th e trial opened, did not develop along th e hues w hich had been generally ex pected. Mr. Ford's inclination to shoulder lull respousibility, his sta te m ent th a t his sou was absolutely essen tial to the w ar work being done In the factory and his revelation oi the fact thai Edsel Ford turned down several offers of a com mission, d is arm ed criticism . The charges, spread during a political cam paign, and re cently repeated on (he door of the U nited S tates senate, to the effect th a t th e young president of the Ford Mo’ur com pany had shirked his duty w ere so fully re tire d that Tribune counsel did s o t pursue the point. It w as the drat tim e th a t a full ex planation of the facts In connection w ith Edsel F ord's w ar work has been m ade public and It was easily 'h e fe a tu re of the eleventh .w eek of the trial. H enry Ford spent seven days on the w itness stand and of this tim e he gave less th an two hours to his own law yers. As long as counsel for The T ribune was ham m ering him Mr. Ford sa t quietly In th e w itness chair an sw ering the constant fire of questions w ith g reat patience. Dut the in stan t h is own law yers took him In hand his a ttitu d e changed. H e became»“ self- conscious and diffident. H e would not accept Jh e efforts of his counsel to provide him with an opportunity to reveal th e full extent of his p atriotic w ork during the war, his h u m an itari an views, or his advanced ideas of the relations which should exist betw een capital and labor. “It Is all In the records,” said Mr. Ford. “I have told It all h ere once.” ,He avoided, w ith care, anything that verged on boasting. H e would not even describe th e ex ten t of th e w ar w ork w hich his factories did and when record breaking perform ances In the production of m unitions was m ention ed he declared, “we did all we could, le t It go at that. I w ant to forget all about 1L I feel ju st as th e sol diers feel. I don’t w ant to ta lk about m y w ar w ork.” T he w itness did, how ever, a fte r be in g pressed, explain th a t his son had bought out th e m inority stockholders of tl e Ford Motor com pany because th e se ln to e s ts had Insisted on Mr. Ford squeezing the last dollar out ot ih e public, the governm ent, the work, g rs a n l th e product. H e w anted to cu t looso (torn his asavetates, he said, so th a t he could carry out bis Ideas of th e distribution of profits to em ployees thiough Increased wages and to the p ibllc through lower prices. I t was eith er buy or sell and Mr. Ford bgd com aered selling end organizing a new com pany H is son. how er.i-, took u r the task of buying out Jin m inority stockholders und succeeded, dlsp lte th e general belief In the finan cial world th a t this stock could not ho purchased One of th e m ost Interesting develop m erits of Mr. F ord's testim ony cam e out when it was testified tha* th e on'y legislation be has ever sought w..s th -1 fi r th» pro'notion ot birds. O tm i m en of millions, It was shown, keen lobbyists In the national and ste.to capltol to urge and work for special p rivileges,’but th e one favor th a t Mr. F ord has ever asked from the law- m akom la d nothing to do with hvi r v n In erests. It was a curious bit of te s t.m o ry and left a deep Impress! on on the audience In the court cham bci. T he subject was a u s u l t of ques tio n s concerning Mr. F ord's list of (i lends He nam ed Thom as Edison and John B urroughs, the natu ralist, as 1.1a b est friends outside of his im m ediate associates. L itigation In wh.oh Mr. Ford has been Interested was another subject of Interest.
