FORD WORKS.
REMOVED FROM CORK TO MANCHESTER. > Henry Ford is removing his auto-mobile-making machinery from Cork to Manchester. The “Manchester Guardian” says: “The machinery only recently set up in Cork has been taken down again and brought to England. Ford, for a • good many years, liad difficulties, owing to the British and Irish import duties on motor-cars and parts. Many cars assembled at Cork have to be brought to England and are required to pay British duty. On the other hand, Ford products, If sent to Ireland, are faced, with the Irish duty. Ford has come to the conclusion that tlie expense is unnecessary and avoidable, and, therefore,, has decided upon a policy of concentration.
Fifteen hundred men will be rendered idle in Cork owing to the transfer, but Ford will provide employment for them later.
