NEW PROBE IN CASTLE MYSTERY Lawyers Puzzled Over Death| of Seattle Cap- italist Investigation into the mys fterious “Stone Castle tragedy,” to determine the manner in which Wigbert Moeller, Seattle capitalist and bridegroom, lost his life here Judy 5, is to be re opened forthwith, Alfred HH. Landin, former prosecuting at- torney, announced today.

Wants Workers Stockholders “No, I am not against a great mass of stockholders if they are the right kind The right kind of stock- holder in a railroad or in any industry is ONE WHO IS DOING IN IT.” THE WORK—WHO HAS HIS HEART Ford pointed to the great number of employes who are stockholders in his motor car and tractor corpora- tions. “In all our plants and branches we have from 60,000 to 65,000 men,” he said. “Two-thirds of them have between $7,000,000 and $10,000,000 invested in the companies they work for. “That applies to railroads. If the men on the trains and in the shops had stock and there was common sense in their management we wouldn’t have a rail- road problem.” No Sunday Trains on Ford Line Ford is proud of the fact that his railroad does not operate on Sundays. “We are going to stop every wheel from 6 o'clock Saturday evening till 6 o'clock Monday morning,” he explained. “I want to give the employes a Sunday when everybody else has it. No man can work more than six days a week and keep it up. We have an eight-hour day and a six-day week—and the men are more careful and more interested. “Our railroad men get more money than the brother- hood scales.
