NOME, ALASKA. AUGUST 11, 1916.
1 ndaimlcd by his failure to pro
ne u world peace, Henry Ford has
• I\ • * 1 a new “peace Well which, if
it '.mplcdics no othci result, will
.• i I' . -t add to his unique reputation
for originality.
Tb< world has long since come to
rii'Utilize Ford as one of the most
a i I of human beings. Time and
rain lie has demonstrated his ideas
out of Ihe ordinary, that ho is
mil "f those who are content to trav
el along the beaten thought paths,
an,a tie days when he first con
ci ivi I the idea of placing the auto
mobile, until then the exclusive con
ic, of the wealthy, within the
rc cli of the commonality by cutting
price m half -ami then proceeded to
le lias displayed a depth of
on in iit\ both ill thought and action
ii ia ' balde i- veil in this land of unique
ways and ideas.
'I wiia la- has startled the world by
pci forming some unheard of action.
I 1 by voluntarily increasing the
of his employes to a degree that
made him one uf the most discussed
men in Hu world and also resulted
in di rided change in the condition
ai ands of working people, and,
• i | ndly by organizing the famous
1"- r expedition to Europe, which, nl
thoie;h failing in its purpose, left be
1 an impression which will ulti
iit: '■ ly do much toward bringing about
th' i ml for which it was designed.
And now he has started a second
peace movement by ordering his em
|d( to lay off quarreling with their
or quit their positions in his
i v. The reason for this rather
i iikqldo action is simple. Ford
!i rued that the man who has
d"i tie troubles Is seldom as capable
an i tnploye ns ho whose home life is
1 "f pi . e and tranquility.
A ta explains it, the man who
conn a to work filled with the rancor
nil i | eiin -s horn of domestic strife,
wholly devote himself to his
-U and is, therefore, not enpa
bl( of lending his best efforts to tiis
employer.
Lord argues that lie pays Ihe best
in tin world for the particular
i lass of labor he employs and by vir
tu thereof has a right to demand that
i iployi.s give him best of which
ri capable. With their home
b ■' -turlicd by domestic friction they
i nnnt do so and, as a consequence,
in not desirable employes. There Is
but’ of what is termed humanitar
i involved as far ns he is con
t r• d. Ilis demand is purely selfish,
does not profess any desire to
I nelit tiis employes, lte is looking
i r Ini own Interests. He pays good
tor ... work and demands
which in gives. Scoffers will
i'll and with reason, that his new
brand "f pacificism is simply a desire
to la P Ids workmen speeded up to
the .cry limit so that he may wring
fj- m them the last drop of profit,
b li- d will spout tha! he is a demon,
i cruel and grasping villain who
in s to . xplolt ids workmen for all
ha! their is in them: that he wishes
l'« com I eir blood and sweat, force
to give up the la it ounce of
strength and energy in their bodies to
fatten his own treasure chests. In a
sense this is probably true. Ford
does not make any claims of philan
thropy in connection with his scheme.
;
It is admittedly a matter of dollars
and cents with him. Ho argues, how
ever. that quarrels are largely a mat
ter of habit, an exceedingly bad hab
it. for the employe as well as his em
ployer.
In this he voices another view of
things. Quarrels being mostly the re
sult of habit, they can be prevented
and the habit cured by the very sim
ple expedient of refusing to yield to
the inclination to quarrel. He coun
sels his employes to refrain from
quarreling over the little trifles that
develbp within the precincts of the
home and, by so doing, they will not
only destroy the quarreling habit but
will add to the pleasure of their own
existence besides contributing mate
rially to their labor efficiency.
And, if they cannot or will not do
so, they have the alternative of quitt
ing their job.
When one comes to consider it there
is something more than dollars and
cents in his little scheme. His idea
is one that can bo carried out with
great benefit to the employe as well
as his boss. As Ford asserts, the ma
jority of family quarrels are occas
ioned by the merest trifles and can
lie easily obviated by refusing to quar
rel over them. Even in the larger
tilings, quarrels and dissensions in
the home can usually ho avoided by
one party or the other exercising a
trifle of tact and discretion or by
maintaining a discreet silence when
vexing lliings develop. Few people
will quarrel when there is no one to
assist.
Ford's new peace effort may lie In
principal nothing more than a desire
to get all (tie dollars possible out of a
workman bin il also seems to be an
eminently practical way of helping
them to a better and more peaceful
condition of existence by forcing (hem
to rid themselves of a vexing and |
painful habit.
in a great sense he is benefltting ,
them by ordering a condition which
adds to their happiness and comfort
while at the same time increasing his
own profits.
