SAFETY TALKS
The Careless Male

It appears that the male of the
species is more careless than the
female.
Of every 100000 males in the
United States, 1876 were killed in
accidents during 1887, reports the
National Safety council.
Only 51.3 of every 100000 women
suffered accident deaths.

Signs Of Impending Trouble for
National Labor Relations Board
Advocates of Amendment of Wagner Act Grow More
Vociferous; Law Itself and Its Administration Cause
Widespread Criticism; Some Expert Sailing.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington D. c.

WASHINGTON was only a
few years ago that any politician,
seeking harvest of votes, would
rather have cut off his right arm
than offend organized labor. In a
close fight, the labor vote held the
balance of power. Labor unions
forged ahead with remarkable force.
But labor started fighting within
its own ranks and there came the
C. /. o. Rather, John Lewis, the
leader Of the mine workers, got am
bilious and broke away from the
old established and respected Amer
lean Federation of Labor and gave
birth to the Congress of Industrial
Organizations.
So, many politicians, including
President Roosevelt, turned to G. /.
o., because it was modern, stream
lined, aggressive. It appeared, for
a time, that C. I. o. was going to
be the big power among the work.
ers. Having that advantage, c. I. o.
went to town, as the football players
say. It's strength was manifest in
congress and under the impetus of
C. /. o. force, Senator Wagner, the
New York Democrat, brought forth
the national labor relations act, I'M
der which the national labor rela-
lions board was appointed and be-
gan functioning.
That much is history.
But now there are signs Of i'm
pending trouble for the national la
Dor relations board. With it's main
support, the c. I. O., having its trou-
bles in collecting dues, and with
the peace efforts of President Roose-
welt who sought to get union men
Of the United States back in one
organization having failed dismally,
the labor board is up against it. In
fact, to summarize the situation in
the homely expression of my boy
hood home: it looks like the swash-
buckling, defiant calf is just about
ready to choke itself because of too
much rope. It may not happen in
this session of congress, but it will
happen before long. Why? The an
swer is that organized labor, as rep
resented by the Lewis faction, made
the same mistake as greedy big
business frequently makes. 1t be-
came arrogant; it bit off more than
it could chew. The reaction has
now set in.

Demands for Amendment of
Labor Act GroD Noisier

Advocates of amendment of the
Wagner labor act have been knock
ing at the door a long time. Re-
Gently, the knocking has resembled
sledge hammer pounding. A very
large number of senators and repre-
sentatives have heard it.
AS a matter of fact, it was Mr..
Roosevelt's efforts to get A. F. of L.
and C. I. o. back into single ma
tional union that has delayed the
moves in congress looking to amend
ment Of the labor law. c. I. O.,
having stood by the President when
he was a candidate and having
fought for his cause time after time,
was entitled to the Presidents serv-
ices as a peace negotiator. Many
persons thought there would be a
happy reunion, but there was no
chance at all from the very outset
of the negotiations, and the affair
did nothing to lift Mr.. Roosevelt's
prestige, especially in the rural
areas where G. I. o. and sit-down
strikes have much the same mean
ing.
While the administration plans
for a union reunion were slipping,
there came that sensational verdict
by a federal court jury in Philadel-
phia which assessed $500, 1000 dam
ages against the sit-down strikers
in a hosiery plant. The damages
were assessed directly against the
men who did the job, and thus for
the first time a responsibility, as
well as right, was given to labor.
The right to strike long has been es-
tablished and labor must guard it.;
never before, however, had there
been a court determination that liza
bility also exists if damage is done.
It is unnecessary here to review
what the labor relations board has
been doing. Time after time, it has
been accused of dancing to the bag
pipes played by C. /. o. The Amer
lean Federation of Labor, among
other critics, has charged it with
rank c. I. o. favoritism. The board
does not consist of persons capable
of winning very much respect. True,
believe they have very alert and
fast-moving minds, but ] cannot help
regarding them as without any trace
of judicial temperament. Without
doubt, the country would be better
off had all three members been
ousted months ago.
Act and Ifs Administration
Causes Widespread Criticism
It is, perhaps, as much because Of
the terrible administration Of the
law as from the inequities of the
loosely drawn law itself that the
criticism has been so widespread.
Hundreds of cases, coming before
the board, have left employers with
personal losses as result Of one
sided determinations. Labor unions,
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, have repeatedly as.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
By CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

There is a sucker born every min
ute and a quack every hour to take
care of the sixty suckers, according
to DR.. Fishbein, editor of the Journal
of American Medical Association.
This is certainly true as far as our
ideas about food are concerned.
False food advertising and quack
sanatOriums are exploiting the pub
lie today as never before. The radio
has multiplied the number of people
who were formerly reached only by
INSCRIPTIONS printed claims.
Legitimate claims for the vitamins
are expanded until we might believe
that each specific vitamin will cure
everything from hay fever to fallen
arches. These claims are usually
made for second grade vitamin pre-
paratiOns which may actually contain
little or none of the vitamins adveT-
tised Reputable drug firms do not
prescribe vitamin concentrates if he
feels they are indicated far individual
patients.
Special health foods are not neces-
sary to supply a well balanced diet
and are usually sold at a premium.
The protective foods-milk, eggs,
fruits, vegetables, and whole grain
cereals-are common enough and
are the best health foods which
person can buy. With the exception
OF vitamin d which is provided in
cod liver oil or by the action of the
sun on the skin, a well person can
provide himself with all the essen
tials of a good diet by a liberal use
OF these protective foods. A sick
person needs good medical advice to
suit his own individual case.
In recent years a system of eating
has been evolved which declares that
some foods such as proteins and car
bohydrates are incompatible and
should never be eaten at the same
meal. This would mean that meat
is not to be eaten with potatoes. nor
bread with milk. The possible bene-
fits which have been derived from
such a system are due to an in
creased use of fruits and vegetables.
We are warned by the great num-
ber of people who have treated them
selves by this and other diet fads,
only to realize too late that they
have been suffering from such all
ments as cancer and heart disease
which could not possibly be cured
by such dietary treatment
A knowledge of the simple facts
about a well balanced diet is the
best protection against these diet
fads. The simple protective foods,
with the possible addition OF cod
liver oil or sunshine for vitamin D,
are the best and cheapest health
foods available. If you feel that you
need diet regulation for some alb
normal condition, see a doctor.
