Fathers Son Gay Muscle



Argentina has to go back to what it was in early twentieth century, Light says Mario Vargas Llosa clothes. Ya, when the Bicentennial, attended this discussion, but back, back to what not to re .

There is so much to say and what this country was in the early twentieth century. For "ordinary people" would be absolutely necessary to delve into his own history. Ask grandparents what they remember from their grandparents, to review the history that is spread by word of mouth. What did your grandparents in 1910?, For example. Did they live in a country "livable"? TN is more comfortable watching or reading Clarín. And swallow without chewing that Argentina was beautiful when it entered the twentieth century, was under siege and surrendered honor to the English Infanta ( "not worth a little research to see if the truth of the established society should continue repeating ; research is to doubt and that is for bookworms or spiritual but not for timid people of success, winners fast " -Osvaldo Bayer, Severino Di Giovanni, the ideal of violence).

How was Argentina, how he longed for Santa Fe in the early years of the twentieth century? How eran, qué hacían nuestros abuelos, bisabuelos o tatarabuelos en esos años (*)?

Dependerá de la edad del lector, pero nuestros abuelos, bisabuelos o tatarabuelos (siempre que asumamos que el lector es “gente de a pie”) eran unos pobres tipos.

Hay un libro imprescindible para conocer de primera mano cómo vivían nuestros abuelos, bisabuelos o tatarabuelos. Hay que tomarse el trabajo de leerlo. Está digitalizado en la web del Ministerio de Trabajo de la Nación .

Se trata del Informe sobre el estado de las clases obreras en el interior de la República . Porque, asumo, está leyendo “gente de a pie” que, but they resent the nickname, though it cost so assumed, is, like me, working, part of a "class", the working class.


These are my grandparents, my grandparents and my grandparents. Thanks to them for getting what I should not suffer. I do not want to return to that country and the abused and that Mr. Vargas Llosa and the chorus of right idiot (because a thing is right, and another is the right idiot) would have us back:

In Rosario, for example, John Bialet Massé Refinery visited Argentina. The first thing you noticed was " the status of girls small, some were anemic, pale, skinny, with all the symptoms of overstress and breathing incomplete. " The blacksmith and carpentry shops in that city had " up abuse of children, there is a real excess of apprentices, which is operated as men." Also in Rosario, and describes the work on the phones: " the workers are tight, an air breathing necessarily bad, and the extension of service is so appalling that I do not understand how they can endure, although the status of these girls look at first glance. There on the phone twenty-six women from sixteen years later, they can not be married or widowed, and work seven continuous hours (...). The girls are too close together, touch, the room is not enough or is arranged so that the renewal of air is made by a current. It should come to the aid of these poor girls, mothers of degenerate beings, when they themselves are not binding tuberculosis. "

We come to Santa Fe, Colastiné port. Stevedores, tells Bialet Massé, worked "in an atmosphere boiling, which reaches 48 º sun." " This work can not do but the Creole, the EU did not resist but in very small number and exceptional is what the English call black work. "

Colastiné The longshoreman was usually illiterate. " Alcohol makes aggressive and quarrelsome (...). At midday only ten percent take advantage of the break, many will pass through the tobacco in hand, fighting each other, with all the brawls and riots that the game brings. At night they partied and the game is a big part, if not all of it, and go to work completely exhausted. " He adds: " If any worker is close to to advise education, morality and economics, the association and dignity, contractors look at him with his eyes distorted, and accused of anarchism and disturbing, using no matter what the gossip and intrigues, all those who believe that disrupt the operation villain they make to workers, which they consider less expensive than an animal because it costs them nothing, not even the replacement, if disables or perish. " There was constant

accidents in loading and unloading of ships. 99% were preventable, he said.

these accidents are not paid, or became so ridiculous he wrote. " Chargers and captains tease the poor workers in a criminal manner, and these results can be considered very pleased if they care and half wages until recovery. The captains are as valid in the country the means wages of European laws, although the Argentine Civil Code set the whole wages, and as the worker does not know this, get what you give and still thanks. "

mechanics was more or less well, as described by Massé Bialet " The great means to gain time, for no witnesses, and in any case difficult to test, and how they know the criteria of our courts lost respect the faults, they always say the blame is injured. With regard to the compensation for, seek and achieve almost always pay a leg or a broken arm with $ 100 and life with 200. The poor worker who knows them and knows the tricks that almost always left with nothing, when you give something you take it as a sort . "

The real evil in the Port of Colastiné were the intermediaries. Bialet Massé wrote that contractors were all foreigners and earning lots of money. He also said that to do the work needed the cunning of a cat, they were true drones from the hive and the developers of the service of the worker. He advanced the money, drank with him and he chacoteaban and it "gave" the grocer, ending with what he had to work: sell or fiarle " alcoholic poison exorbitant prices."

" is to see how the intermediary vinegar softens his face and encourages its workers to gambling, drinking and brothel, which is usually part: 'Do not look so sad, pa' that you have a good pattern; takes the better man and I miss work, I have given you a lot of money, or hang out with those scoundrels of society, who are anarchists, on any day the police will shoot. " The pawn promises grateful to what prompted the good standard. And it meets "describes Bialet Massé.

in the area, he said, there was no spirit of partnership. They had formed two companies, one of workers who had the true purpose of avoiding the middlemen and other workers and employers, " which is to say of wolves and sheep ."

work harder Bialet seen Massé was to the laundry. " Under a sun of 48 ° C at noon, without a ramada to protect them, they work ten or more hours, earning a small wage which rarely reaches 2 pesos and is generally from 1.20 to 1.30 . "

Here, then, a little of the country dream.

(*) I can not stop rereading biased in turn by the reading of "El Flaco" (José Pablo Feinmann) of speech with which Nestor Kirchner took office in 2003. As he says, but also for what it ignores: " I come to propose to recall the dreams of our founders and patriots of our immigrant grandparents and pioneers. In our generation, who put everything and left everything, thinking in a country of equal . The dreams of our grandparents, immigrants and pioneers, and our parents founders' dreams are not "the" and "the army", "the pillars of the country" .
