Daily We Safety Meeting— | And After By a R. R. Worker Correspondent CINCINNATI. Ohio,— Just yes- terday I was working on the second jtrick and befcre we started to work, the General Yard Master jcalled the two engine crews and | switchmen into his office for safety meeting. The meeting lasted jten minutes and it was a safety meeting. “Be careful — don’t get jhurt,” and such like baloney. About 5:45 p. m., a transfer car crew came over the river from Kentucky and we, the yard crew, had to couple up four classifica- tions, double them up and give jthem to the transfer engine, 29 cars in all. Just as fast as we coupled the-cars, the General Yard Master would reach in at every pause and couple the air hose, There is one air man on duty, when they can always use two, yes, even thr This brother carman was bleeding a train that just backed into the yard and he never knew we doubled up all those cars and were on the way out of town | (air O, K. and everything). There you are; a safety meeting before you go to work and then you see the man who called the meeting jumping in and out between cars, risking his life and limb in order to speed up production and keep men out of work, who are \expert shop mechanics, and starv- ing when they should be at work. I say the American railroad | workers better not wait too long to unite their forces and put a stop to this crazy speed-up, these viola- tions of cur agreement which we are forced to accept because we | know that we would be talking up a |flue to demand from our Grand Lodge officials that they put a stop to this crazy way of railroading. Their safety meetings look nice on paper but in practice they don’t | mean a thing.

Only a few of the police sta- tions were raided for arms. Not a single street was torn up to hinder the transport of troops and muni- tions through the streets. Not an attack was made on the government or city governing buildings. Not a printing press was put into use. Neither newspapers, bulletins, leaf- lets, nor proclamations by the revo- lutionaries appeared. The two large broadcasting stations, both lying in workers’ districts, were not touched. The workers were not informed of the movement of the workers of their neighboring districts. The workers in the oil refineries had the entire garage full of oil tank trucks. (pn linal S eatalls oPanaierecrn RM IeGR Ld S | Fight Was Defensive Sa sister hcl MIR The Social Democracy had built an army—the Republican Schutz- bund. They had not learned the tactics of revolution. They didn't know what to do in street battles. The entire body of the workers had been assured that the Schutzbund would fight when fighting was nec- essary, the rest of the workers don’t have to do anything. Since the Schutzbund was only a tenth of the workers, since they hadn't learned to mobilize the entire pro- letariat, they were put on the fooi- ing ef a bourgesis army, without the | weapons of the bourgeois arm: | They hadn't learnt the first prine’- | ples of the proletarian revolution as | Engels formulated them. “Audacity, always audacity! “A revolution in the defens‘ve is | lost! | “The revolutionary forces must) always produce a victory and imme- diately broadcast it among the workers to hearten them. | “A revolution is war, a special | kind cf war, and the advantage lics | with the rovoluiionarics, beexvs? | the terrain i3 thzirs—trs city} street:.

Food Prejudices vs. Scientifie Dietetics |— K., of Chicago, ML, wants to | ‘now how soon after operation [for inf ation of the beginning |of the large bowel, he may return to work He also asks whether there is a scientific basis to the lete. of food faddists, naturopaths, ete. Having been operated on, your | terminal ileum (the end of the small |intestine, where it joins the large jintestine) is removed, and your |recovery depends on your ability to | “pick up” strength and weight after |the operation. The “pick-up” |should show in four to six weeks after the operation, at which time {you should be able to return to |fairly normal activity. Your first |question, as to diet and especially jas to the inclusion of meat in the | diet, even though that article of | food is frowned upon by the na- |turopaths and food faddists, brings up the whole question of food prej- udices vs. scientific dietetics, All well persons can eat most any food providing it is properly prepared, jand all well persons can thrive on |any mixed diet, providing it is well | balanced and that they are not | sensitive to some particular foods, A balanced diet is one in which the patient is getting a proper pro- portion of all the known necessary food elements such as carbohy- drates, fats, proteins, vitamins, min- erals and water. Such a diet may include meat or exclude meat, but if meat is omitted, the protein ele- }ments that it supplies must be ob- tained from other foods such as milk, eggs, cheese, etc. Since a larger quantity of the latter foods is needed than of meat to satisfy the protein requirements of the body, it is often more con- venient and more economical to eat |meat. The trouble with meat as a |food is probably that it lends it- self readily to being prepared in a highly spiced or seasoned fried or greasy manner and as such can lead to various types of stomach trouble. Also because it is ap- petizing, meat is eaten in quanti- ties much greater than a balanced | diet requires and brings on ails and ills that come from overeating. For | that matter, people can become sick from eating too much whole wheat bread or drinking too much cod- We make no special fuss jabout this article of food, except where its food qualities are speci- fically not desired in some special | case or disease. Naturopaths make a fetish out jof their anti-meat propaganda and although they are able to cure many cases of over-eating and un- balanced diets by their “rational” diets, they have never been able to prove that their prejudice against meat is justified, or that they can cure or prevent disease by such diets. | liver oil. | a te Loss of Interest 7 eens That you should have |“ been greatly upset by your loss (Js no surprise.
