TJie Union and Henry Ford
'T'HE drive to unionize Henry Ford bag started. Homer Martin,
head of tne automobile workeri, ex-minister and typical
labor union agitator will direct the offensive.
Martin declares he already has "thousands of workers in the
River Rouge plant, and it won't take long to sign up all the
Ford employees." .-
The Ford management says nothing, but distributes among
its employees cards entitled "Fordisms" closing with this perti
nent observation:
. "Workers ought to consider whether It la necessary to psy
aome outsider, .very month for the privilege of working at
Fords.".
. There is the American labor drama in miniature, and it will
be interesting to observe its development, and which party will
be on top at the final curtain.
i.
TTHAT fjnai Fordism is pretty hard to answer. Why SHOULD
a Ford employee, pay union dues, when he is satisfied with
his wages, his working conditions, and the treatment he is re
ceiving? What will he get for his money! What will the
union give him, that he can't get without it T
The answer is "nothing" as LONG AS COXDITIONS
REMAIN AS THEY ARE, as long as the worker is satisfied
with conditions as they exist.
But how about the future!
Henry Ford is not as young as he once was, he can't live
forever, let it be assumed that he dies, and the benevolent
autocracy he now represents is replaced by an autocracy that is
not benevolent. What will the individual worker's position
then bet His wages are cut, his working conditions become
intolerable, but what can he do alone?
HPHE answer to that is also "nothing." He will then wish he
had joined the union, and had 90,000 fellow workers to act
and speak with him.
That will probably be one of the talking points advanced
by the Reverend Martin, and one of the least effective. For
Henry Ford's health is excellent and when he does retire, there
is every reason to believe, his generous attitude toward his work
ers, will be eintinued.
OUT the main appeal will be to the worker's class conscious
ness, the loyalty he owes as a laborer to the labor movement
as a whole. "In union there is strength, in numbers there is
power."
"Come on boys, don't be dumb, jump on the band wagou.
for this is Labor's Day." That accompanied by the proper
table thumping, and a few of
epithets, will be vigorously applied, by Brother Martin and his
oratorical lieutenants.
And it will work at least with-most. And perhaps as Dr.
Martin maintains, eventually with all. , .
C0R we Americans are great JOINERS. If the average homo
sapieus, will pay monthly dues to wear a grotesque uniform
that would make a Mexican general on dress parade look like
Mahatma Gandhi, why should he object to similar dues when it
gives him something that comes close to his day-byday job,
involves his standing among bis fellow workers and is intimately
connected with his future security?
The best answer is that "he won't"
At least that is our prediction, as far as Henry Ford is
concerned. Why SHOULD he? Under the provisions of the
Wagner Act which Henry Ford has officially recognized, the
worker has nothing to LOSE by joining up with the union
(except his dues) and everything to GAIN.
And here we come to the crux of the entire matter, at
once the strength and the weakness of the American li'.Lor
movement.
"PVERYTHING to gain I"
Self interest, that is the mainspring of most human ac
tions, Hnd it is certainly tho mainspring of the labor movement
, No one denies the Ford workers are generally satisfied with
the present situation. They are among the highest paid workers
and artisans in the world. They have privileges in the direction
of csre, health, education, security, etc., etc., unequalled in any
industry in the country. But of course, conditions arc never
perfect, they always could be better
And here is where Brother Martin and his professional
spellbinders will step in. "Join the union and they WILL be
better." This will be the promise direct or strongly implied,
and how many Ford emplovees will refuse to accept it! Not
MA NT.
So what? Just this:
Once the Ford workers are generally unionized, it will be
up to the union organizers to make good on that promise. They
can't stand idly by and pull in their salaries, month after mouth
and year after year. They will have to show results, or the
boys won't pay their dues.
And if conditions are generally satisfactory to the workers,
how can they show results? Obviously by persuading the work
ers they AREN'T satisfactory, that while they are good they
could be better, and demanding that the management regard
less of its capacity to do so, make them better.
N short, here we come to the inevitable point where unionua-
tion of labor becomes a racket and a bad racket. A breeder
of unrest and discontent, of ceaseless agitation and propaganda ;
demands following demands, one no sooner granted than
another prepared, hell to pay in general and no fire depart
ment in sight, because union growth and prosperity grows on
selfish betterment through CONFLICT.
It is tho OTHER side of the labor movement. the vicious
circle side, and unless all signs fail, the final act in this drama
of Ford unionization will clearly reveal it.
IT is our prediction the moment Ford is thoroughly unionized
trouble will start. .
Who can blame Henry then for being unalterably Ol'l'OSED
to it. On the other hand, putting oneself in the wage earner's
place, who can blame. the workers for organising for self pro
tection, possible benefits, independence and greater power?
It's the old problem, "brethren and sistern" of what hap
pens when an immovable body meets an irresistible force.
The only hope in the final analysis, lies in a new siri' in
the ranks of both capital and labor, a spirit of cooperation and
peace, instead of a spirit of hate, suspicion and WAR. I

Answer It Is a serious condition
and should have thoro treatment by
your physician or an ear specialist. If
you cannot have proper treatment,
avoid putting otla or other medica
menta in ear. avoid wearing cotton or
other plug, apply twice dally a drop
or two of agreeably warmed solution
of 10 grains of boric acid In an ounce
of pure grain alcohol. Warm It by

Continue using the drops for several
