By Otto McFeeley COPYRIGHTED, 1914 DETROIT, Mich., June 2, 1914.—I heard today, from ~ Henry Ford's own lips, the story of why he adopted the plan to give his employes a minimum wage of $5 a day. Incidentally the plan has now been in operation approxi mately half a year, and Ford, in positive terms, said fl it is a great success. He announced his intention today cohtinue the $5 a day scale in his automobile factories. I came here with Judge Neil, father of the mothers’ p sion idea, and it was during a conference between Neil PS! hae an ea story reason, $5 a day plan. Briefly, Ford proposed this experiment LIVING WAGES versus CHARITY! “I believe we should all be producers,” said Millionaire Ford. “Organized charity and schools of philanthropy and the whole idea of ~ ‘giving’ to the poor are on the wrong track. They’don't produce any- thing. If a raflroad had a bad piece of track that wrecked cars day and piled them in the ditch, it would cure nothing to merely a fine repair shop. THE TRACK ITSELF SHOULD BE FIXED UP, | Charity and philanthropy are the repair shops and their efficiency, how- ever high, does not remove the cause of the human wrecks. “I don't believe in charity,” he continued. don't like the idea. 1 HOPE THE EXCUSE FOR ORGANIZED CHARITY WILL PASS © AWAY. 1 am sure there is no reason why we can’t produce enough for all, if the right methods are used. In this business we have proved that 80 per cent of our people CAN EARN $5 a day." “Why did you decline to adopt scientific charity methods?” asked Judge Neil. “How were you converted to the new idea of $5 a day for laborers?” * “You can’t give any man anything,” was the manufacturer's “TRYING TO HELP MEN BY HANDING THEM SOMETHING FAILURE. We don’t give our men anything. THEY EARN ALL THEY GET. Men must achieve what they have, They cannot get it any other way. g “Charity societies collect $1,000 and spend $600 in office expenses, Experts give advice to poor people who cannot possibly adopt the suggestions, because the suggestions cost money they haven't got. You may want to ride on the street car, but you can’t unless you have the fare. “Charity experts have given us a lot of advice, just as expert mobile manufacturers have given us advice to change our methods. We have no experts in thi op. We are mechanics and human beings.” “How you pay more than twice the competitive scale of wages for labor?” asked Judge Nell. “In the last six months we have Increased our efficiency so that we are away ahead,” Mr. Ford replied, as his financial manager, F. L. Klingensmith, nodded his head as verification of the statement from the: standpoint of the ledge! “We are now compelled to build new plants to do the work that has been done for us in outside shops.” ; Then he told of the great discovery, which all manufacturers bm ponder. “Our new efficiency is not gained by speeding up ma-_ chines and men.
