The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-01-21

I Asst Sundays meeting of the Chi
H. cago Federation of Labor was
rather quiet The officials have sew
craI sponge-like propositions which
are used to soak in the energy Of the
delegates until it comes near time for
somebody to rise and say: Il move
that all business not transacted be re-
ferred to the executive committee"
This motion is always carried, as ev-
erybody is anxious to go to bed after
being snoozing on the uncomfortable
chairs while the label committee, the
grievance committee, the schools COM
mittee or the sewage committee turns
on the same old record.
THE labor leaders will ind time to
talk about everything but some
matter that vitality affects the inter-
ests of the workers, While politics is
tabooed in the unions by the non-par-
tisan policy of the A. F. Of L., nothing
else is taken seriously by the reac-
tionaries at the Chicago Federation OF
Labor, but politics-capitalist politics.
Il INN A. K. GALE, formerly of
K Mexico, and other parts not so
we'll known, has bobbed up in Aurora,
Mo-, as the editor Of pink literally
sheet called The Lifted Lid. 1t Is as
crazy a rag as was ever conceived in
the brain Of nut posing as radical.
Gale is an unexpurgated edition Of
the kind of egomaniac, who imagines
that the world waits on his words.
Such a specimen is Haldeman Julius,
editor OF a flock of magazines and
husband Of a woman who made a
prosperous business man out Of him.
julius, however, is an unabashed turn
coat, who brazenly repudiated his So
cialist ideas, while Gale is still pollut-
ing the atmosphere with his nauseat-
ing literary concoctions.
N MOTHER freak who thinks he Is
~ Communist, and who naturally
finds himself fishing In the same pond
with Gale. gets angry over little hui
NOR at the expense OF vegetarianism
IN recent issue of a miniature Daily
Worker gotten out by tn business Of
ice staff to add little .ovelty to our
anniversary celebration. He puts
meat-eating Communists and child la
Dor exploiting capitalists on the same
footing. If he is Communist. then 1
am bishop. To prove that man
can be a Communist and a vegetarian
at the same time, he cites as ex-
ampless Urban Ledoux, the freak
who gets a group of hungry unfortu-
nate victims of capitalism into a New
York church every year for the sake
of publicity and among others, Linn
Gale. 1t is hard to say whether peo-
pie become fanatical vegetarians be-
cause they are crazy or become crazy
because they are vegetarians.
IKTHETHER a person should eat
wv meat or not as part of his diet
depends on many factors. 1t may be
good for some and bad for others. But
there are several hundred schools Of
some innocent arLIvIe Of diet and puts
it on the verboten list. One of these
fellows told friend Of mine that
cows milk was intended only for
calves and that il meat should be eat
en- at all. 1t should be devoured on the
hoof tiger fashion. He took his cue
from the tiger, who usually lives in
the jungles where butcher shops don't
exist. Unfortunately for his theory,
man ard the tiger have different
tastes and different duties to perform,
therefore, they see about getting their
vitamines in different manner.
COME people object to the use Of
= meat as an article Of diet on ethi-

people object to the wearing Of furs
