INSISTS ON "DRYNESS"
HENRY FORD AND BRITISH EMPLOYEES REPORTED DECISION LONDON, May 24. Mr. Henry Ford's reported decision rigidly to enforce prohibition in motor factories outside the United States ha 3 surprised thousands of workers in the Ford works. A Manchester employee told the "Daily Mail”: "If the decision applies to the works, everyone will probably be prepared to abide by it, but the workers will not tolerate any attempt to interfere with our private lives and turn us into Prohibitionists. YVe are British, not Americans, and we enjoy a glass of beer after work.” Another employee said that all kinds of drink had been taken at functions connected with the firm. An official says that the decision sounds silly, but there must be a misunderstanding.
