40-Hour Week Pre
vails in Ford Plants
Detroit.—Adoption of the 40-hour
week as a permanent policy in all
plants of the Ford Motor Company is
announced by Edsel B. Ford, president.
Under the new plan the factory will be
closed on Saturday and Sunday and
about 11,000 men will be added to the
force. The change will affect approxi
mately 50,000 employes) who will con
tinue to receive the #0 a day minimum
wage, but will work live eight-hour
days weekly.
New employes will receive a mini
mum of $5 daily, the pre-war scale.
Mr. Ford said he had reached the
conclusion the 40-hour week was prac
tical, that the additional day of rest
would prove a great- benefit to the
workers, and that the: production
schedules of the Ford industries could
be so arranged as to maintain the pres
ent output on the curtailed working
week. The action was in line with the
company's desire to afford its workers
with every opportunity to develop
t their home life and profit by steady
work with ample leisure, as well as to
provide work for more of the city’s un
employed, Mr. Ford said.

She Proposes Death
Decree for Vampires
Washington.—Mrs. C. W. Townsley,
who publicly thrashed a young woman
who she charged with “vamping” her
husband. Tuesday advocated the death
penalty for “love thieves” who ^teal
other women’s husbands.
“Wives must unite for self-preserva
tion,” declared Mrs. Townsley, a t etty
bride of nine months. “The woman
who stole my husband might as well
have taken my life. She killed my
love and destroyed my happiness. She
should he treated by the law as a mur
derer.
“Married women of the country
should join me in demanding the death
penalty for those love thieves who
make a business of stealing married
men. T could see the woman I whipped
the other day go to the gallows without
compunction.
“If I bad a fortune in jewels, she
could have them all and welcome.
Jewels mean nothing—my life means
nothing—compared to the love ! had
for my husband.”
