PROHIBITION AND S HOUR DAY

Eificiency of Manuafacturing Made Possible By Sobriety of Employees ) Siavs Henry Ford Lo

*lt booze ever comes back to the United States 1 am through with manufacturing” says Henry Ford in an article entitled “Let Prohibition Begin at Home"” appearing in the September Pictorial Review out today. ‘ ~ “Iwould not be bothered” Mr. Ford continues “with the problem of handling over 200,000 men and trying to pay them wages which the saloons would take away from them. I wouldn't be in terested in putting automobiles into the hands of a generation soggy with drink. ‘ _ “Withi hooze in control we can count n only two orthree effective days work a week in the factory—and that would destroy the short day and the ive dav week which sober indusfry has introduced. e -

“When mien drank two or three days| 1 week, industry had to have a ten or welve hour day and a six or seven lay week. With sobriety the working man can have an eight hour day and a live day week with the same or greatsp paY. = : ‘ _“That is only the factory phase. Liook at the traffic phase. Gasoline and hooze don’t mix; that’s all. Booze does n't go with industry. Ie benumbs evervone who uses it—manager and worker. No ‘one is as good with a brain half fogged. I would not be able to build a car that will run 200,000 miles if booze were around.. I wouldn’t have accurate workmen, and without accurate workmen I could not get the necessary precision in work;; even with machinery because more people are making the machinery to make the car today than make the ear dtset. =~ . o .

_“With drink they could not do it, be cause hooze destmys brain power. It causes inaccuracies and when men do poor work theyv lose interest which is the greatest calamity that can happen. It is interest in life and work that makes the world go round, that keeps people alive and creates . the energy and enthusiasm necessary tc accomplish amd discover the best things. . . Mr. Ford says that “prohibtion began at home with women who wanted better home conditions” and he points out that if women “uphold the law in their homes we need bother very little about other places where the law is violated—they will :mtoma"fj{:all_y. disappear.” : \ = . - “Just now” the article continues, i“The blind pig lives by the reflected light of a few prominent drawing rooms and elabs. | - It wealthy hostesses knew that they are really menacing the happiness and security of the working man’s wife and her children, lam sure they would annouunce t otheir circles ¥No more cocktails here. "We are hand in glove with our sister Americans in this matter.’ “Prohibition is effective with ninetyl;ine per cent of our population. The remaining one per cent seems little but in a great country like ous it is a great many people. This one per cent is made up largely ;ﬁf the walthy class the criminal class and the abandoned class :

Mr. Ford denies the charge that prohibition was ‘“forced” on the country, and in discussing personal liberty he says i npart;: - ‘ ' “Personal liberty is so much increas ed_ by the nation’s emancipation from alcoholic addiction that it is childish wilfulness to talk about infringement of rights. Lef us say that a man has a personal right to drink himself to death; we, as society have no right to go into the business of serving him drink; we have no right to say that his drinking is necessary to the support of the United States government; we have no right to decree that a certain Percentage of American wives and American children shall automatiecally perish with him:© = »

Mr. Ford believes that drinking among the rich is rapidly becoming unfashionable and discussing this he says that “in wealthy circles the aabit of drinking is disappearing fast.” “Two years ago” -he continues, “drinks were served everywhere—all sorts and kinds of drinks, But conditions are now fifty or sixty per cent better. .Foreign embassies in the United States, acuteiy sensitive to the proprieties of the situation have in sbme cases accepted prohibition as the rule in the embassies; are in other casés considering doing. so: have, in all cases ceased publi¢ use of their liquor’ stocks. This is a very significant indication as to which way the social wind is blowing.” ‘
