FORD LOSES FIRST ROUND IN
$100,000 NAVY LEAGUE CASES
Washington, Dec. 15.-Henry Ford
lost the first round in the $100,000 suit
filed against him by the Navy league
when Justice Siddons, district supreme
court, today sustained demurrers filed
by the league, regarding Ford's plea
of probable cause. The court held that
probable cause does not constitute a
privilege. The suit is based on ad-
vertisements in which Ford made sen-
sational charges against league of-
ficials.
Would Offer $60,000 for Johnson
Boston, Dec. 15.-The Boston Ameri-
cans will bid $60,000 for the services of
Walter Johnson, pitcher of the Wash-
ington club, if he is on the market,
President Harry Frazee of the local
club has announced. His statement
was made in connection with a report
that the Cleveland team was prepared
to bid $50,000 to obtain Johnson. Pres-
ident Frazee said nothing had been
done officially in the matter.

Ten per cent increase to the 3,000

ber company, Bristol, R. I.
Ten per cent increase to the 3,000
men employed by independent steel
mills at and near Sharon, Pa.
Increase of not less than 25 cents a
day to 10,000 employees of the Bay-
onne, Elizabeth and Claremont refin-
eries of the Standard Oil company (ac-
tion taken after a strike for higher
wages at Bayonne in which several
persons were shot to death).
City Employees May Get Iaise
The City of New York contemplates
a wage increase of $1,147,180 to 18,-
488 municipal employees. This had
not been determined finally.
In each case, in announcing the in-
creases, the concerns said they were
made to enable their employees to
meet the advancing cost of living. E.
H. Gray, chairman of the steel corpora-
tion, said:
"Ordinarily the question of wages
would not come up for consideration
or decision at this time of thle year,
but in consequence of the abnormal
conditions now existing it has been
decided to increase the wage rates of
our iron and steel companies about ten
per cent, effective Dec. 15. As to the
other departments, increases will be
equitably proportioned."
Third Increase in Year.
The increase is the third the com-
pany has made during the year. Its
payroll for 1915 was $176,800,864, the
1916 total will be above $200,000,000
and if high wages continue the 1917
roll will approach,-$250,000,000.
The Eastman Kodak company of
Rochester, N. Y., the Glove Manufac-
turers' association of Gloversville, N.
Y., and the Arlington mills of Lawr-
ence, Mass.. are other concerns which
have made substantial wage increases.
That lesser concerns have taken
similar action is indicated by Chicago
figures, where, according to John W.
O'Leary, president of the Chicago As-
sociation of Commerce, 25 concerns
have made $10,000,000 increases to
100,000 employees during the year.
