Mich, March 25.—To provide employment for several thou- sand of Detroit's idle workers and to afford employes “more time for self- development,” Edsel B.

Workers now in | the Ford service will continue to re- celve the $6 daily wage, but new em- :l)l“oyyes will be paid at a rate of $5 a in making the announcement Mr. Ford said he had reached the conclu- sion that the forty-hour week is prac- jlical, that the additional day of rest 1would prove a benefit to the workers and fhat the production schedules of the Ford industries could be so ar- ranged as to maintain the present outbut on the curtailed working week. s Twé Reat Days Needed. “Every man,” Mr. Ford’s gnnounce- [ment said, more thah one day a week for rest and recreation. The 1Ford company always has sought 1o promote ideal home life for its em- ployes. We belicve that in order to properk every man should have more time to spend with his family; more time for self-improvement; more itime for building up the place called {home.” The new employes are to be tiken on at the wage lished in 1914 by Henrs Ford, then president iof the company. who set & minimur daily wage,of $5 for all workers, gardless o their tasks. This depar- ture accompanied the establishment of the elght-hour day at the Ford factories. During the war period the minmum was raised to $6 to enable employes to cope with higher living costs.

Alongg with the Ford announcement that more men would be required in the various plants came a statement from the Emplovers' Association of Detroit that a marked decrease had been noted in th supply of skilled tions, most of them * the labor report i states, “there are hardly enough men {to supply the demand.

Special Dispatch to The Star, ] ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 24.—The Naval Acagemy and Annapolis are agog over the news of the designa- ition of Emile T. Holley, a New York city negro vouth, as a midshipman. The fact was known by only two or { three persons here, and to those in {an unoflicial way, prior to its an- nouncement in the newspapers this morning. It has become known that Holley failed on the certificates that ihe offered for admission, the fact of his negro race being unknown here at the time. However, he will have a chance to be examined for admis- sion in_ April. Naval Academy officials declined to make any statement zbout the mat- ter, but it can be said with authority that Holley, or any other youth who is legally admitted to the academy, will be treated with justice by the oicials, His position with his fellow stu- dents will be another matter, how- ever. Other negro midshipmen have been subjected. to complete isolation so that they could not remain over & year, and there is every reason to believe that there is no change of sentiment now. So far as can be learned, there have beenébut three. colored_ midshipmen, the last leaving in 1574. and none has staved over a year in the academy. —_— {EXTRADITION IS REFUSED.
