CHAPTER XIV.
When I entered 'the employ of the
Ford Motor Co. Mr. Ford had about
him the group of great executives
mentioned in the preceding chapter.
I doubt if there ever came together
in any organization a body of men
of greater ability, each in his own
line of finer ideals, or broader hu
man sympathies. Certainly no group
of men were ever more devoted to
the best interests of their company,
or were more loyal to their em
ployer. Loyalty, of course, went for noth
ing. Mr. Ford derides it; seems to
doubt whether such a thing exists
between employer and employe. Men
work for money. I have always felt
it Is a pity that he fails to make use
of some of these finer things in men
does not recognize that there is
something which money can not buy.
In addition to this group of great
executives there were hundreds of
men in the second and third ranks
of the organization who manifested
the same enthusiasm in their work,
and the same loyalty toward their
employer.
Interest Shown In Employes.
In every one I' met, with a few
exceptions to be mentioned later, I
found a deep and genuine interest
In the well-being of Ford employes.
How to humanize the industry to a
still greater extent was the subject
uppermost on all occasions where
Ford men met together in small
groups of employes, in conferences
of executives, in meetings of fore
men, at banquets, and managers'
conventions. One felt one's self to
be a part of a great experiment in
applied Christianity in Industry. The
spirit of service, helpfulness and co
operation permeated practically the
whole organization. The world was
told that in the Ford Motor com
pany it had an example of what
could be achieved through a just,
generous and humane handling of
laor. Here was a corporation with
a soul.
But there are men In every organ
ization to whom the higher things
In life make no appeal. There were
some men of this kind in the employ
of Henry Ford. They never under
stood the better, finer policies of the
company, and never ceased to ridi
cule, criticize and misrepresent the
efforts put forth to Improve the
human relations within the industry.
To them the morale of the organi
zation meant nothing. They also
flouted loyalty on the part of em
ployes as being of no value. They
stoutly held that men worked for
two reasons their wage, and the
fear of losing their jobs.
Humane Treatment Best.
The humane treatment of em
ployes, according to these men,
would lead to the weakening of the
authority of the "boss," and to the
breaking down of discipline in the
shop. To them the sole end of In
dustry was production and profits,
and the one sure way of getting
these things out of labor was to
curse it, threaten it. drive it, insult
it, humiliate it, and discharge It on
the slightest provocation, In short
to use a phrase much on the lips of
such men "put the fear of God into
labor." And they were always think
ing of themselves as the little gods
who were to be feared.
There were not many men of this
sort In the Ford company when I
entered it. But the few who were
there seemed to be in a closer and
more confidential relation to Mr.
Ford than those who stood for the
better things, and this in spite of the
fact that for the time being he
seemed heartily in favor of the hu
mane policies then In force.
Why he made familiars of men of
this class was a profound mystery
to those of us who saw only the
other side the nobler and better
side of him. In an article by W. P
wnson, wnicn appeared some time
ago In the World's Work, entitled
"An Intimate Study of Lloyd
George," there is to be found this
paragrapn;
"Asked why he (Lloyd George)
sometimes chooses such curious
friends, he would probably answer
that you cannot govern mankind by
Idealists. 'You need scavengers to
clean your streets,' is one of his
most interesting maxims. Llovd
George has alwayi been particularly
carerm to select flklllful scaven
gers. They are in attendance on
him everywhere, loyally doing the
airty worK or national housekeep
ing. He. is as much amused with
them as he Is with any other men
agerie. He loves the unusual and
grotesque. . . . No great man ever
Burtered fools more gladly. And the
fools know It. . . . Lloyd George
is tne apotneosis of the common
man. te has the common mans
contempt for theory, the common
man s contact with facts.
Henry Ford Is also particularly
careful to select skillful scavengers
on occasion when he deems their
services necessary. They seem to
furnish him with the unusual and
the grotesque at which he does not
frown, if he does not smile. If the
work of certain clerks in the shop
Js not wanted, why tell them
bmash their desks. That is quite
unusual, deliciously grotesque, and
very amusing. A man who ventures
to wear a white collar in a shop
deserves to have his life made a
burden. Expensive tools of skilled
workmen are scattered over the
floors. Foolish? Insulting? Hu
miliating? Not at all. It takes
the conceit out of the man
. who prides himself on his work. It
prevents him getting into a "cozy
corner" and admiring himself over
much.
Faith Lost In Idenllsm.
It is curious that both Lloyd
George and Henry Ford should seem
to have lost faith in their early
idealism. Lloyd George having dis
covered that you cannot govern an
empire, and Henry Ford discover
ing that you cannot govern a fac
tory by idealists. Perhaps they are
right. I am simply recording the
fact as an interesting one. Still
some of us will cling to the theory
that men (jspond more generously
to good treatment than to harsh,
that men can be led to do up to
their fullest capacity, and that all
are belter for being led than driven.
It became evident as time went on
that either the men who stood for
the better things in the organiza
tion, or the scavengers, must go.
The ideals and policies announced
in 1914-1915 became increasingly
difficult of enforcement. Rules for
the handling: of employes were bent
ard frequently broken. Then came
the depression of 1920. Curtailment
in production was followed by cur
tailment of construction work. The
wheels stopped. So also the ineom
fngr stream of gold. Staggering
obligations were ahead. Men were
let out from necessity. That in it-'
self merits no criticism. It was not
what was done, but the manner, in
so many instances in which men
were discharged.
If there ia any act in industry
that should be done with the ut
most consideration, it is the act of
discharge, especially in the time of
crisis.
Scavenger Has His Bay.
It is suff'ciently painful and hu-1
miliating to be brought -ace to face
with unemployment and all that
follows loss of income and of sav-i
ir.gs, accumulation 01 ueuis, eviu-
Hon and hunger without being
kicked like a. dog into it.
Discharge and reorganization are
not necessary dirty work. It is
the last sort of work in the world
to be placed in the hands of the in
dustrial scavengers. Unfortunate
ly there are employers who think
otherwise. In times l'ke the pres
ent, when there are more men than
jobs, when often men are driven in
production to the point of exhaus
tion, the scavenger, whose delight
is in the brutal methods that pre
vailed in the days of slavery, is
having his day in many an industry.
It does not require many men of
this sort to destroy a company's
reputation for just dealing, cloud
its good name, and convert the
good-will of labor and the general
public into silent, but effective op
position. The law of compensation
works in the handling of men in
industry, as in 1 other things. In
the end we reap what we sow.
(To Be Continued.)
TRIMLE NOT DESIRED
MRS. MEISNEIASKS DIVORCE
OWKYQ TO 'OTHER WOMAN."
Husband in Los Angeles Declared
to Have .Avowed Openly His
Tiove for an "Affinity."
"When Harry A. Meisner found in
Los Angeles a woman he liked bet
ter than Hattie Meisner, his wife,
he proposed to the legal spouse that
"he would support her in one home
and would support his affinity in
another," according to divorce com
plaint the wife filed yesterday in
circuit court. That was last year,
when Mrs. Meisner went to visit her
husband, who had gone to live in
Los Angeles in 1919.
On November 23, the complaint
states, Meisner wrote that he was
preparing to start divorce proceed
ings so he might be free to marry
his housekeeper. Whether or not
she is the same "affinity" he had
found earlier is not disclosed. Mrs.
Meisner asks for custody of Ken
neth, 11-year-old son, and to be de
creed sole owner of property in
Portland and Clatsop county. She
also seeks $40 a month for support
of the son. The pair were married
in 1910.
On the allegation that Cornelius
B, Vanderverst has treated her
brutally, breaking one of her ribs
on a certain occasion and becoming
so violent at another time she called
on the chief of police for . protec
tion, Anna V. Vanderverst filed a
divorce complaint. The wife seeks
custody of four minor children and
S45 a month support money. Their
marriage occurred in 1904, in Mich
igan.
Mm FIANCE WINNER
NEW JERSEY PREACHER IS
SRE OF GETTING W IFE.
Rev. Mr. Lawson Communicates
With Woman Who Fled When
Engagement Was Published.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
EAST ORANGE, N. J., Dec. 4.
Faith was high in the heart of the
Rev. George Hermann Lawson last
night, although Mrs. May Mason of
Orange did not become Lawson's
bride Sunday.
Lawson, after telling the congre
gation of the People's Evangelical
Church in East Orange last week
that his prayers for a wife had been
answered, announced his engage
ment to Mrs. Mason. Publicity
caused her to flee to Atlantic City.
"But I have been in communica
tion with Mrs. Mason," Lawson said
today, "and everything is all right.
I have promised not to tell when and
where we will be married."
Lawson was to preach Sunday on
'The Woman Thou Gavest Me," but
changed his text.
"I meant it to have been an object
lesson to faith to my congregation,"
he said. "It would be doubting God
to suppose that any woman was not
sent by him to enter the sacred
bonds of matrimony." .
TWO BIG STILLS SEIZED
Water From River Is Siphoned to
Plant; Operator Is Fined.
PENDLETON, Or., Dec. 4. (Spe
cial.) A raid conducted by two
deputy sheriffs of Umatilla county
on a state road camp a few miles
west of Pendleton netted two big
stills, 100 gallons of mash and four
gallons or whisky, and the chief of
fender, a cook in the camp, con
fessed to the operation of the still.
He was fined $100 and sentenced to
serve 60 days in-jail. The other
man held pleaded not guilty.
The stills were discovered in
dugout under an outhouse, and
water for operation had been si
phoned from the Umatilla river
close by.
Sheriff Houser, arresting two
speeders last night, searched their
car and found a trunk full of
bonded liquor. B. L. Lilje and R.
R. Schakelton are held in the
county jail pending a hearing.

SUCCESS OF BUDGET
S IP TO CONGRESS
President Harding Reports
Cut of $500,000,000.
ESTIMATE IS FOR 1924
"
Executive Says Expansion of Any
Special Fund "Would Defeat
Object of New System.
WASHINGTON, D. . C, Dec. 4.
President Harding, in transmitting
the anuual federal budget for the
next fiscal year, frankly told con
gress today that whether there was
to be any material reduction in
government expenditures and in
taxes in future years would depend
largely on whether there was to be
a courtailment or expansion of fed
eral aid in lines of research, im
provement and development.
Placing the estimated government
outlay in 1924 at $3,180,843,234, a
decrease of about $500,000,000 as
compared1 with estimates for this
fiscal year, Mr. Harding called at
tention that two-thirds of this total
was on account of practically 'fixed
charges, such as the public debt,
national defense, pensions, world
war allowances and federal aid
There was left, he said, only about
$1,000,000,000 in charges subject to
administrative control and" against
which, he added, the retrenchment
policy of the government had xeen
directed.
Postal Deficit Forecast.
' Another deficit -n postal opera
tions was forecast for this year, but
Mr. Harding said it was estimated
that through proper readjustments
there would be a surplus of postai
revenues over expenditures in 1924
amounting to $952,439. For this year
postal costs were placed at $559,996,
841, or an estimated . deficiency of
$31,502,570, as compared witn an
actual deficiency in the last fiscal
year of $64,346,234. The 1924 costs ,
are given at $584,653,151. '
The president told congress that
the appropriation recommended for
the army would provide a regular
force of 12,000 officers and 125,000
enlisted men, exclusive of the Phil
ippine scouts, which is the strength
now authorized by congress, and
would enable the militia bureau to
increase the strength of the na
tional guard from 160,000 officers
and men to 215,000 officers and men.
For the army air service $12,871,
500 is proposed, or $23,500 less than
appropriated this year. Mr. Hard
ing said this sum would permit the
service to operate efficiently in ac
cordance with existing policy.

on which charges they were tried
in K'ng county superior court for
holding up C. Leland Higbee, bank
messenger, in a downtown street of
Seattle and taking grip contain

based on the contention that there
was no intimidation of Higbee to
cause him to fear for his bodily
safety, such as is necessary to sus

The supreme court held, however,
that the placing of a revolver muzzle
at the back of Higbee's head was
sufficient intimidation.

HERS PLftN SESSION
BRITISH BUSY WITH AGEXDA
FOR WEEK-EXD SESSION.
Italian Chief's Attitude Toward
London Conference Is Un
known Quantity.
LONDON, Dec. 4. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The meeting of the
allied premiers in London,. fixed for
the week end, will set the stage for
the Brussels conference, beginning
December 15, which, with new
British and Italian premiers in
attendance, is likely to develop into
the most important meeting of its
kind since Versailles.
The British foreign office is busy
with the preparation of the agenda
for this preliminary meeting, but
the situation and attitude of Ger
many, upon which everything de
pends, are so changing that, accord
ing to the officials, it is difficult to
outline, the position the British
representatives will take. The
British are awaiting "the German
attitude on the latest issue bearing
on attacks on officials of the inter
allied control commission in Ba
varia with the greatest interest,
hoping that the new German gov
ernment will act in such a manner
as to justify allied confidence in
the new regime.
France, fearful of German aggres
sion, is expected to take the initia
tive at Saturday's meeting in argu
ing for drastic action. Great Brit
ain, desiring trade and the eco
nomic reconstruction of Germany,
will be at the other extreme, with
Belgium sharing the French fears
oi me .tsrmsn economic poncy ana
urging a compromise as at the
London conference in August.
Premier Mussolini of Italy is an
unknown quantity so far as con
cerns the serious business of the
conference, but it is evident that
he is already desirous of proving
the allied assurances that Italy
occupies a position of equality in
the entente.

Family Said to Have Kept Flame
Burning in Vestibule of
Big Mansion.
BALTIMORE, lid., Dec. 4. Th
mystery of the light that has been !
kept burning 32 years in the vesti
bule of the old Walters mansion on
Mount Vernon place may be cleared
up by the death yesterday of Mrs.
Jennie Walters Delano, 70 years of
age, at her home in New York city.
She was a daughter of the late Wil
liam T. Walters, millionaire founder
of the famous Walters art gallery
here, which is connected with the
residence In front of which the
light burns day and night.
As the story goes . Walters ob
jected to his daughter's marriage
to Delano and his will cut her off;
but the "perpetual light" made its
appearance soon after her wedding.
and it was said by those professing
intimate knowledge of the family's
affairs that it represented repent
ance on the father's part a repent
ance which he would not put into
words. t
It was said Mrs. Delano's brother,
Henry Walters of New York and
Baltimore, gave her one-half the
vast fortune left by their father.
Members of the family have denied
the disinheritance -story. Another
explanation was that the light
would continue to burn so long as
a member of the Walters family
lived.
TWO LOGGERS INJURED

ARMORY ITEMS SLASHED
Conditions Displeasing to Super
visors Revealed; Janitor's
Salary Is Reduced.
Budgets of school district No. 1
and the Port of Portland were
passed yesterday by the tax super
vision and consen-ation commission
without the slashing of an item,
when the commission turned its at
tention temporarily from city fin
ances while awaiting data to be
supplied. The commissior. also dis
posed of a lot of departmental
budgets of the county, a few of
which they cut down appreciably.
Requests for additional workers
almost invariably were turned down.
Under this category the tax body
slashed out attejnpted provision for
an extra circuit judge and two addi
tional bailiffs. It even went farther
and out fche existing force of 17
baliffs to 12. In like manner at
tempt to put three extra janitors
on the courthouse force was blocked.
County Farm Deficit 7000.
Consideration of the budget for
the county farm brought out the
fact that the tax supervisors wished
to create a rotary fund for its op
eration, but decided against this
course because expectant that a
deficit would spoil the plan. Ac
cording to figures placed before the
commission the county farm has in
curred a deficit of nearly $7000 the
current year, despite assertions of
County Commissioner Holman that
the institution is self-supporting.
After considerable discussion among
themselves the members agreed
that inasmuch as t!he farm has con
sistently failed to pay its way the
time was not ripe for creating the
rotary fund.
The budget request for $17,000
was then approved. , Instructions
will be issued that the farm ac
counts are to be kept just as care
fully as though the rotary fund had
been created.
For the Kelly butte operation, the
quarry where county prisoners are
employed in making crushed rock,
the commission established a rotary
account, which starts with the $50,
000 asked for in the budget.
Armory Bndnet Criticised.
The budget of the county armory
asking for $17,540 for maintenance
for 1923 brought to light conditions
highiy displeasing to the tax super
visors. Chairman Mulkey had the
full transcript which recorded all
hearings on conduct of the armory
read at yesterday's session. ; It
showed that numerous items pro
vided for in the budget of $20,000
allowed for this year had been side
tracked and other orolects had been
substituted. Most of those called ;

was being exceeded.
Janitor's Salary Cut. "
The commission threw out the re
quest for 225 new lockers and cut
the armory budget from $17,540 to
$13,200. An item of $900 - to give
Captain MUner $75 a month addi
tional salary was slashed out. The
testimony had been to the effect
that he was receiving $150 a month
as custodian and devoted about one-
third of his time to the work. The
salary of the haad janitor, which
has been $150 a montl was cut
to $117.50, to correspond to that
of the head janitor at th3 court
house. This was the only salary
cut effected throughout yesterday's
session. "
The budget item of $20,650 for
maintenance of the courthouse was
cut to $17,550. The janitor service
item was cut from $37,071.46 to
$32,354, most of the cut being rep
resented by the elimination of the

sent in as J108.950, was cut to J95,-
950. This was effected largely j
through reduction of the number of i
bailiffs and refusal to provide lor
an extra judge. It Is intended to
ask the state legislature to pro
vide one more circuit judge in Mult
nomah county. The tax supervisors
held that? they would not be justi
fied in passing an item for salary
of a judgeship not yet in existence.
Reo.uest for $64,000 for the care
of indigent soldiers and their de
pendents was met by an appropria
tion of half this amount, or $32,000.
LThis, however, had been threshed
out in the hearings. It occasions
no surprise, as the tax levy for this
purpose is limited to one-tenth of a
mill and the commission can ap
prove onlv the amount the levy will
raise. The legislature probably will I
be asked to make possible a larger
fund for this work.
There was a cut of some $4600 in
County Clerk Beveridge's budget.
Again this was merely a case of de
clining to provide extra help. Sher
iff Hurlburt's budget was approved
with the exception that provision
for extra guards to watch prison
ers who may be taken to hospitals
or outside institutions was cut out.
This called for $1200. District At
torney Myers' budget was approved,
except that $550 was cut from a
contingent fund of double this
amount.
The budget for the new county
hospital was set at $210,000. This
is not what the county commission
ers originally asked for, but is what
they had been led to expect after
conferences over the matter had
been held. Of this amount $155,000
is for construction account and $75,
000 for maintenance.
Welfare Bureau Get $0O.OO0.
The public welfare bureau was
allowed $100,000. This also repre
sented an adjustment effected in the
hearings. The county had asked for
$80,000, but when it was learned
that the Community Chest proposed
to withdraw the major portion of its
support for the bureau, it was
agreed tftat the county should pro
vide not less than $100,000.
Budgets' which went through prac-,
tically without change included
those of the district court, Frazier
home, probate court and constable.
The bridges And ferries budget es
caped with a cut of $200. It calls
for $249,762.44.
The Portland traffic, bureau bud
get, considered in connection with
that of the Port of Portland, re
ceived a rather serious slash. All
plans of the bureau, including es
tablishing of offices in South
America and the orient, were ap
proved except that relating to ad
vertising. This item, calling for
$17,452 for the year, was cut to
$9000. . '
The commission approved the
county budget item 6f $32,000 which
is intended to cover one-half the
cost of paving Powell Valley road,
from Twenty-sixth to Fiftieth
street. , Under the contemplated
plan the city is to pay a like amount
on this paving project. It is con
sidered of specis.1 importance be-
. cause it will carry a heavy portion
of the traffic which will flow
across the new Beacon-street bridge,
authorized by the taxpayers in the
last election.

IS SOUGHT
Sheriff Alexander Will Proceed
on Theory Recluse Slain
by "Unknown Person."
HILLSBORO. "Or., Dec. 4. (Spe
cial.) Jacob Dahenden, 85-year-old
hermjt wl was found dead in his
cabin at Hayward, in a remote sec
tion i l Washington county. Thanks
giving day. came to his death from
"gunshot wounds inflicted by an
unknwn person," was the verdict
of the coroner's jury which sat in
inquest on the body today.
Evidence taken at the inquest de
veloped nothing new on the case.
Neighbors of the recluse told of
events before the shooting, and the
story of finding the body in the
cabiji again was told. Neighbors
told ol seeing a stranger In the dis
trict near the cabin the Sunday be
fore the discovery of the body, and
the day on which the murder is sup
posed to have been committed, and
told cf later hearing shots in the
same vicinity.
Stranger to Be Sought.
These reports are being investi
gated by Sheriff Alexander wno will
make another trip to the scene of
the '.rime tomorrow morning in
searcn or the stranger. He saiu
that strangers seldom are seen in '
this part of the country and at- l
tached some importance to the fact
that the man had been seen about
the' cabin, but never had been seen
ente. ing or leaving the district.
Hope is entertained by the sheriff
that his search will reveal some
trac;- of this man ;
Investigation of frequent trips
taken to Portland by Dahenden re
vealed that he was well known at
the Wabash hotel, in that citv
where he always stopped. Sheriff
Alexander yesterday visited the ho
tel and found in a valise Dahenden
had kept there a suit of good
clothts which he wore when in
Portland.
Photo of KelativfS Found.
Among the articles in the valise
were pictures of himself taken sev
eral years ago and pictures of his
niece and nephew and an old ad
dress of a nephew in New Orleans.
Dahenden is said to have made a
trip to this city about three weeks
ago, and at that time told a friend
of hi here he would return about
January 1. .It is not known whether
he went to Portland on his last trip
or hot.
Thi. theory that robbery was the
motive for the murder is held,
though discredited somewhat by the
fact -hat money was found in the
dead man's pockets and $1000 in war
