1936. ViLL BATTLE WITH PAY BOOST' New York, April 10. The' New York Daily News said in a dispatch from Washington yesterday that Henry Ford planned to boost his employes' wages' in an effort to thwart the United Automobile Workers' campaign to unionize his factories. "The latest tip-off," the dispatch said, "is that Henry Ford intends to lick the unions with a generous distribution of that great pile of Ford. cash.

6 keep the unions out, is getting ready to announce a wage scale and bless a chart of working conditions which will boost the ante far above anything which the Committee for. Industrial Organization has won from General Motors or Chrysler. "The advance Information is in direct line with the Ford tactics in the past, Ford. a quarter of a century ago, startled American industry when he announced his $5-a-day minimum for every worker. "If the 73-year-old auto magnate decides to pay every man at least $10 a day there will be very few objections.

And that according to Ford men here, is just what Henri-Ford intends to do. "He will give the boys more money than the union leaders ever asked for, meet wjth spokesmen of employes and adjust every grievance to the satisfaction of the workers, but never recognize the union or give in to the closed shop."
