Interesting! I had no idea submarining was happening a hundred years ago. I wonder how common it was.
This was my favorite line though:
> Ford employees would be “demoralized by this sudden affluence,” and, of course, Ford Motor Company would soon be bankrupt.
Nothing hurts employee morale like a huge raise!

That seems likely to be language drift, and indeed checking a contemporary-ish dictionary produces: demoralize 2 c : to throw into disorder morale 2 b : a sense of common purpose with respect to a group : espirit de corps which sounds like a much less stupid concern.
