Brooklyn Dock Local
Deserts RYan's S AA;
Contract Fight Nears
By the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-A big
Brooklyn local has bolted the
International Longshoremen'S
Association (ILA), which was
ouSted from the AF'L last Tues
day and is disputing with the
New York Shipping Association
over a new contract.
Local 1891 announced yes
terday it was breaking away
from the union headed by Joseph
P. Ryan and said it was ready
to apply for membersip in the
new longShoremen's union to be
formed by the AFL.
Hits Cut in Wage Demand.
The local also denounced
Ryan's move in cutting the HAS
wage increase demand from so
cents an hour to 10 cents.
Ryan turned down an 812-
cent offer by the employer group
yesterday. The lila contract
with the shipping association ex-
pires at midnight, next Wednes-
day.
The triple -barreled plight of
the ILA-being cast adrift by the
AFL, intra-union strife over ac-
tual and implied local desertions
from the lila, and a possible
strike if a new contract is not
signed - caused police officials
here to plan for trouble on the
water front.
Four Units Split on Ryan.
In other actions yesterday, two
other lila locals indicated they
may not support Ryan in his
contract fight, and two locals
said they would go down the
line" for Ryan.
One local leader apparently
backing Ryan was Tough Tony
Anastasia, who had been feuding
with the lila president.
About a month ago Ryan's ad-
ministration suspended Anasta-
sia when the latter announced
he planned to unity all of Brook
lyns 10000 longshoremen in one
lila local. Later. Anastasia was
reinStated.
A strike by the lila would af-
feet some 10000 workers here
and 10000 other doekerS in other
Atlantic Coast ports.

these islands were eating the
full amount Of fruits and
vegetables, our farmers would
be q great deal buster all year!
in the growing Of these whole-
some foods.
There are several reasons
why we do not eat enough
fruits and vegetables: Many
people do not know how inn
portant they are IN preserving
good health. Others do not like
the flavor Of vegetables. Many
parents who dislike vegeta-
bles themselves do not use
them often enough in family
meals to develop q taste for
them. In such casees children
are not inclined to eat or like
vegetables either. In other
cases scarcity and resultant
high price Of vegetables and
fruits limits their use in
large enough amounts to pro-
vide each family member the
quantity he should have.
Ii favorite vegetable
foods which are eaten in
quantity by most local people
are tannias, sweet potatoes,
cassavas, y a N $, cabbages,
okras and omatoes. In addition
to These rice, cornmeal, Irish
potatoes or plaintains are pre-
snt in at least one meal each
day. Unfortunately, except for
the cabbages, okras and toma-
toes, all the foods listed above
are starches which are poor
sources Of the nutrients need
ed for body building. They are
good stomach filters which
satisfy hunger and furnish
quick energy, but they do not
supply enough Of the materi-
ais which our body needs for
p r 0 E functioning and.
growth. !,
Many. persons complain Of
everlasting WEAKNESS and lack
energy for long periods Of
work. These habitual ailments
often create an impression Of
laziness, but more often the
condition can be traced to a
lack of certain foods in the
diet. No one should expect to

materials to strengthen the
body for work.
The foods we like are most
readily eaten. For this reason
nutritionists do not recon-
mend that severe changes be
made in the diets Of any POI
pie. They simply advise us to
eat what we like best, and in
addition eat some other foods
which furnish what is missing
In the foods we like. [
We do not always eat poorly
because we cannot afford to
eat better. A plate of food
served on the tables Of many
walthy families m a y be
heaped higher, but the foods
are often just as badly select
ed as they are in the poorer
homees. II we know what we
should eat and what is best for
the body we can spend the
same amount of money each
day and still provide better
meals for our family.
Two simple rules which will
insure your family Of a diet
which is more sufficient in
vegetables and fruits are:
