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. - ' RECORDED JBY JTHB SOUTHERN In Republican ranks, however, con- muted that on the Ford Motor Com- ditions are ffitircly different, teas- Cakes for Sunday Dinner * * ■ % . * Of course you want good cakes.

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. rk.

Because Solomon sought wisdom instead ef riches Gad greatly honored and bteaaad him. much as state, SectionaT anH THthjnah 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.
