FREIGHT CARS
USED BY FORD
Detroit. Mkh., March 26.—More
than half a million freight cars, one-
fifth the freight car ownership in the
country, are used annually by the
Ford Motor Company's main plants
and various branches, according to
figures just given out here.
The average freight charges paid
through the Detroit office* direct to
railroads, that paid by branches on
minor shipments, and. freight charges
on direct shipments made from manu
facturing institutions to branches ap
proximates $78,200,000 annually.
Adding to this about $75,000,000 paid
by dealers on shipments of autos re
ceived by them, brings a conservative
figure of $150,000,000 paid every
year in freight charges through the
instrumentality of the Ford Motor
Company.
An average of 860 car loads of
freight are handled every day and
out of the Highland Park and River
Rouge plants alone, and it is esti-
A Political Stroll
, Around Washington
Written Specially for The Chronicle.
By ROBERT FULLER
(Through Autocaster Service) •
Washington, March 25.—There are
many, many Republicans; many, many
Democrats, and many, many Progres
sives in this town. Had one time
to interview each individual of each
group and ask an opinion on the poli
tical' situation during these pre-con
vention days, no doubt he would re
ceive as many different views. Fact
of the matter is—no one knows.
There is an entirely new political sit
uation existing—through which none
have gone—nor have any a precedent
to follow.
Perhaps the Democrats are on a
more even keel, so far as the party
leaders and party bosses are concern
ed, and, it is possible the convention
will iron out into a conclave closely
resembling several such former
events. - '

muted that on the Ford Motor Com- ditions are ffitircly different, teas-

pany's account 50,000,000 pounds of
freight in car load lots are handled
every day in the Detroit district.
Shipping space economies, effected
through the Company’s unique meth
ods, are seen in the fact that while
parts shipments to the assembly
branch plants are figured at 10 units
per freight car, in rail shipments of
completed cars from the branches to
the dealers, only six assembled Ford
cars and trucks can be loaded into
a standard 36-foot box car.
The larger part of the Ford freight
with the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton,
the Ford railroad, as either the ini
tial or participating carrier and es
pecial attention is paid to the classi
fying of all freight, so that not only
the company but the dealer as well
receives the benefit of export services
in freight classification and rate ad
justments.
Employment in the Ford Motor
Company organisation is now at the
highest point in the company’s his
tory and reflects in a general way the
prosperous condition existing in the
country as well as in the automobile
industry.
There are approximately 157,000
workers employed in Ford industries
in the United States, according to re
cent figures. Of these,, more than
24,000 work in branch assembly
plants.
The largest, ptonber employed in any
single manufacturing unit, is, of
course at the Highland Park plant at
Detroit, where 68,500 men are at
work.
The biggest increase in the number
employed at any place during the
last year wap made at the River
Rouge plant of the company. A year
ago 28,000 men were employed there,
while today there are nearly 42,000
workers oh the payroll.
Other manufacturing units, includ
ing the Lincoln car plant at Detroit,
and the plants at E^earny, N. J., Ham
ilton, Ohio, Green Island, N. Y., Glass-
mere, Pa., and Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
employ close to 11,000 men.
Smaller ptsnts around Detroit give
employment to more than 800, while
at the present time there are over
4,000 men at work on the company’s
timber and iron ore properties in the
upper peninsula of Michigan.
Ford coal mines in Kentucky and
West Virginia are giving employment
to more than 3,500 men and the De
troit, Toledo A Ironton, the Ford
railroad, employe in excess of 2,500
men.
There are in addition to all these
some 700 employees in the Henry
Ford hospital at Detroit, more than
700 in the Henry Ford Trade School
at Highland Park and there are more
than 11,000 employees in the foreign
j j branches of the company.

leaders—men who in the past have
molded national conventions and
brought forth to their liking, have no
control over the situation.
Coolidge looms, one could almost
say dominates, not because the party
leaders want him but simply because
he is President and no other Republi
can is in the cast with enough popu
lar appeal to give leaders a chance to
swing the convention choice in that
direction. Without, Coolidge com
mands the support of all the leaders,
with the now seeming obvious ex
ception of LaFollette.
Reports from the country at large
indicate that the voters are dazed by
the rapidity of recent changing situ :
ations, resulting a lack of crystaliz-
ed ’ sentiment. That means that the
party machines, which worked at all
times, will prevail. In the parlance
of free language, “Coolidge is sit
ting pretty.’’
Now, with the Democrats, the
South is for Underwood; the West
still clings to McAdoo; the East is
for Smith of New York; while the
Middle-West is a bit undecided, ex
cept in Indiana, where they confi
dently anticipate that Ralston will be
jockeyed into the nomination. Ohio
is again talking Cox and of how gal
lantly he carried the fight through
a hopeless campaign,—they think this
entitles him to another chance.
One cau even hear again the name
of Henry Ford in connection with
the Democratic nomination. Of
course, bosses Murphy, Taggart and
Brennan will have much to say about
that. But nevertheless, one still
hears the name of Ford in this con
nection. Some of the Ford support
ers here claim that the oil investi
gation exposures, coming since his
endorsement of Coolidge, makes it
easily possible for him to say his
faith was misplaced and that the
odor of oil changed the entire com
plexion of things.
Colonel Bryan will be among those
present and, of course, will be heard
from. His opposition to Underwood
in the South has caused him to .go
on record with four choices—in the
order named—Murphee, in Florida;
Neff, in Texas; Muagrove, in Ala
bama, and Robinson, in Arkansas.
Summed up, the Democratic situ
ation is not so simple after £11. There
are a few hard combinations yet to
be figured out
LoFoilette, on an independent tick
et, seems assured—unless great up*
heavel should occur at the Cleveland
convention—and, say, a man like Ken
yon of Iowa, given the Regular Re
publican nomination instead of Cool
idge.
