Are Key to the
Situation

Meeting of Local Lead

Especial to the Daily Worker)
TOLEDO, Ohio June /. -
The center of the strike stu
alton here is the effort of the
employers, the government
and especially the A. F. of l..
officials to prevent a general
strike. This, for the moment,
overshadows the Auto-Lite stu
alton. The key to the situation
are the electric power men.
Last night the International
organizer, Bennett, and the To-
cal business manager Of the cleo
tricians, Oliver Myers, a cleft"
phrase-monger, and Central La
Dor Union officials pleaded,
threatened and cajoled at a
union meeting to accept the
sell-out proposal which called for
a return of one of two success
sive 10 per cent wage cuts, on
the condition that the power
men do not participate in the
general strike.
The meeting was stormy. Ny
ers spoke three times, finally
proposing postponement for an
other "a hours, until Coates,
president of the Toledo Edison,
arrives, stating: Coates is my
old friend, and it is to your ad-
vantage to wait. You can get
more than wage increase. In
fairness to yourselves and to
your city, wait for Coates
Finally the vote to postpone was
carried by IT'S to 1876.

ecutives of SO locals that was
supposed to set date for gen.

WcWiLLin Had His Troubles

T~HERE was some question then as to whether 30
i McNflin, late of Center College, Kentucky and
now Indiana University coach who had played some
professional football after leaving school, should be
tapped for membership. Mr.. McMillin, however
asked permission to speak for himself and, IN an
grafton moist with tears explained that he hadn't
really intended to sin but, the contrary was IN
spired by the honest motive of paying off his school
debts when he tried out as pro-

ward.
Not only among the coaches, however but even
among the more influential sport esSaysts of the
daily papers, the attempt to present the college game
of football under frankly professional conditions was
viewed with loathing and alarm In that naive day,
though famous students playing to millions OF
dollars worth of trade and emerging from school
ragged and with no talent commercially comparable
to their football ability, 1t seemed ridiculous to be-
leve that time would ever come when people would
patronize the pros in pay loads. The few customers
who would do so could be regarded as denzens of
the underworld of sport to whom nothing was sacred
anyway and the attempt would fail because there
weren't enough of them.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN :

DISCOVERY of insulin has made it possible for
- children. who have diabetes, to live long
and useful lives.
However there is no disease affecting mankind
in which life and death close together as they
are in diabetes in children because the failure to use
insulin when needed will result promptly in the ap-
pearance of the Inconsistencies called coma which
moves on into death The responsibility therefore, of
every one connected with the of the condition,
including parents, nurses and doctors, is great
Diabetes is rare infancy and quite infrequent
up to the age of four years. Most OF the cases IN
children come on during the period between and
IL years.
TINE structure of the body lack of certain parts
l. responsible for diabetes, may have some heredi-
tary connection.
In the control of diabetes. it is not only necessary
to use insulin which supplies the material that is
given to the body by the pancreaS in such cases,
but also to control the diet. 1t must be borne in
mind that children require food not only for their
daily needs but also for tissue repair and body growth
However the diabetic child should never eat more
food than is necessary. since of food will
result in an excess of sugar in the blood.
The highest total number of calories allowed for
the child with diabetes is 1900 daily. Beyond that
the diet Of the dabetc child differs little from the
well balanced diet of the normal child, and it avoids
ell extremes in sugars.
IN giving insulin in such cases the best method is
TO use the least possible daily amount Frequently
these children get along with two injections of the
inSulin daily. but in some cases three are required
An overdose of insun results in a serious condi-
tion-namey. lack Of sugar in the blood, which
produces severe symptoms. Every one associated
with the child must be informed concerning these
symptoms. This includes particularly the teachers,
who take care Of the child when il is away from
its parents and nurses
With the of insuln and more children
developing to advanced years and there is some
hope in the fact that occasionally the development
OF the gland called the pancreas is such that less and
less insulin becomes necessary
A complete cure of the disease is not expected.
There is evidence. however that in some cases
the disease stops advancing when the child is full
grown.
The occurrence of any other disease at the same
time OF course lays special burden on the diabetic
child.

LEFT TURN-STOP BUS
PROPOSAL APPROVED
MOrrissey's Recommendation Given
Safety Boards o. X.

hOILISScy Recommendation OIVen
Safety Boards o. X.
The Safety Board yesterday ap-
proved the recommendation of
Chief Mike Morrissey that Peoples
Motor Coach Company buses be
permitted to make left turns and
then stop for passengers on four of
their lines in the city.
At present the buses have to stop
on the extreme right of one corner
and then cut across the stream of
traffic to make left turn. The ap-
proved recommendation will allow
the buses to make their left turn
from the center of the road.
The board also approved install
lation of stop and go lights at 18th
and Alabama SITS, 18th and Penn
sylvania-sts, and at 10Th and Sen
ate-av. The measure was suggested
because of the increased flow of
traffic on 16th-st since the opening
of the new bridge over the canal.

able. But the nations of Europe
are miles apart as to when and
how it should come about.
Great Britain is among the
most outspcken of the revision
lists. She received German East
Africa, part of the Maeroun and
Togoland and some of the other
German, colonial possessions as
her share in the German break
up. Yet no responsible British
official has ever suggested she re-
turn the colonies.
EVEN the allied powers willing
~ to grant revision seem to,want
revision to be at the expense of
the other nations.
BY the Treaty of Trianon of
June, 1920, Hungary lost Transyl-
vania to Rumania and Croatia to
Yugoslavia. Fiurne went 30 Italy.
1t is over the minorities in Croa-
tia that hungary and Yugoslavia
are now quarreling.
BY the Treaty of ST. German,
signed in 1919, Austria lost Cali
cia to Poland, parts of Bohemia
and Moravia to CZechoslovakia
and other territory to Italy and
Yugoslavia. Hence Czechoslo-
vakia has warned the League that
any attempt to redraw the map
will be resisted by her to the Bit
ter end.
Today, Germany, Austria and
Hungary stand waiting, as they
see it, to "get back some of their
own"
They look upon the postwar
treaties as paralyzing strait
jackets out of which they intend
to emerge by hook or crook as
soon as they may.
TRANCE admits treaty revision
IL is desirable, but insists it must
be brought about within the
framework Of the League of Ma
tons.
Italy is more insistent. Speak
ing for Premier Mussolini, Baron
Aloisi frankly warned the council
of the League that revision must
come, and soon. Hungary, he said,
could not wait forever.
This brings FraTIco-Italian re-
lations to a head. France desires,
and must have, Italian co-opcra-
ton if her plan for 6 new Eu-
ropean peace network is to be
made effective. Yet Italy is
siding with Hungary in the pres
ent crisis. and France with Yugo-
slavia.
