FORD’S ULTIMATUM.
MEM’S JOBS AT STAKE.
EMPLOYEES AND LIQUOR.
MUST OBEY PROHIBITION LAW
(Per Press Association—Copyright.) NEW YORK, July 22. Mr Henry Ford’s ardent Prohibitionist views are expressed in an endeavour to compel his employees throughout the country to abstain from drinking liquors on the pain of summary dismissal. Placards conspicuously posted in the Ford factories read :
Henceforth it will cost a man his job if he has the odour of beer, wine, or other liquor on his breath, or if lie possesses these intoxicants on his person or in his home. The Eighteenth .Amendment is part of the fundamental law of the land. It is meant to be enforced, and, as far as this organisation is concerned, it will be enforced to the letter.
Prohibition headquarters here has received a copy of the placard and has declared its gratification at the gradual enlistment of industrialists in the cause of Prohibition.
