He used copious quotations from Ford’s piA)lic nomic disorder.” Levin recalled Ford’s announcement of a five-day week plan in 1922. But he said the number of families help^ by the Detroit Conununity union while their bread-winners were employed by Ford “increased successively from 8,592 for the 12-month period from July 1, 1924, to June 30, 1926, to 10,- 162 for the same period ending June, 1930. 'The five-day week, Levin continued, “has not proved invulnerable to the temptation to increasing business” and “a seven-day week is not un known in the Ford plants.” the teitimqrfy ctf Charles E.
