NRA. i Like steel, coal, oil and all of} the other great pillars of Ameri! can commerce, the automobile in-/ dustry is passing through a test! from which it may never emerge} the same. Ford has been looked upon as} the world’s leading personifica-| i tion of rugged individualism inj s business. He has eyed his business} rivals from a far distance, never aspiring to be “one of the boys,”; always managing to be different. Through his Lincoln motor com- pany, he does hold nominal mem- bership in the National Automo- bile Chamber of Commerce, the trade association which drafted the automotive code, but he has no representation among the chamber’s officers and takes no; part in its conduct. { Some years ago he went so far as to attend one of the chambe annual banquets in New York— to all other motor manufacture the great event of the year. Hej was welcomed with trumpets, and made the lion of the evening. Hej did not appear to like it, and he never went again. So with his employes, whom he views as individuals rather thga as a_ class, And everybody knows how he broke with the} bankers a dozen years ago, and; set-up a Ford treasure chest in| Detroit, to finance his operations! in a manner all his own. Ford In Dilemma There has been a keen under- standing in Washington of the; dilemma confronting Mr. Ford; when his competitors and others in the trade got together on a code. Some strong words have} been spoken, but in the main the attitude toward him has been one}; of noticeable restraint. As officials of the NRA heard} the story, Ford found himself in threefold difficulties. He was asked to cooperate with; the rest of the trade, possibly to end up by opening his books to. the N. A. C. C., and that was against his whole philosophy. He saw the possibility ‘of such | a scrambling of interest as might) eventually drive him back to the: accepted form of bank financing, which he swore long’ ago to have mone of. He envisaged unionization of his employes on a scale entirely destroying the individualism he had fostered so zealously for so many years. The more thoughtful around the| NRA were not surprised when he hesitated and took time to think| it over. Watching And Waiting In the midst of the thinking over, word trickled into Hashing- ton that Mr. Ford might find it possible to go along, as a patriotic sacrifice, if the president would preserve the individualistic touch by openly sending for him and more or less publicly asking for} his help. | The president was in Hyde Park. General Johnsca, anxious to get) Ford in, but uncertain how far to! go, got on the telephone. Mr. Roosevelt did some thinking over of his own, for a great things were involved. Not least was the potential ment of the great majority of the| many | the! trade, should Ford be singled out) ——_ for special attention. } Another A: | One other element should itaken into account to round out the picture: Some of the. best-in- formed in Washington believ from the start that whether Mr.) Ford came under the Blue Eagle} than} lor not was less important Subscribe for The Citizen.
