LABOUR IN AMERICA.
MR HENRY FORD’S ADVICE. STAY OUT OF ORGANISATIONS. FINANCIERS CAUSE STRIKES. United Press Assn.—F2ec. Tel. Copyright. NEW Y r ORK, Feb. 20. The well-known motor magnate Mr Henry Ford, in an interview to-day, advised all workers to stay out of labour organisations. He alleged that international financiers were behind labour unions because they wanted to control industry and kill competition. “They are the cause of all these strikes,” said Mr Ford. “A man loses his independence when he joins a labour group of any kind .and suffers as a result.
“Competition in industry will guarantee the workers a fair wage, but unions destroy competition. Organisations of this type lead up to war. I am thoroughly convinced that the cure for strikes and other labour difficulties is a high minimum wage. “It is the less skilled man working on a smaller wage scale who causes trouble.”
