New York Official Charges
Union Broke Contract
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Chairman
John H. Delaney of the Board of
Transportation has advised Mayor
La Guardia that the appeal of the
CLIO Transport Workers Union to
the War Labor Board in its wage
controversy with the city releases
the city from all obligations to OBJ
serve terms of its labor contracts
with the union.
Thirty-two thousand transit
workers are demanding a general
wage increase of IS per cent over
levels of January /, 194l, and the
union has sought to have the WLB
take jurisdiction in the controversy.
On the other hand, the city has
taken the position that the WLB
has no jurisdiction and last week
refused to send representative to
a WLB hearing on the question in
Washington.
Mr.. Delaney charged the union
with preaching the agreement
reached in June, 1941, between the
Mayor and Philip Murray, CLIO
president, whereby the city assumed
labor contracts with the IRT and
BMT subways when they came
under municipal ownership. This
agreement, Mr.. Delaney said, called
for status quo relationship.

Red Meat Shortage
For YuIe Season
Is Facing Utah
Markets Have No Steak
And Roost Beef Is Just
Pleasant Memory
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. IA
Utahns are looking forward with a
noticeable lack of glee to a white
meat Christmas.
Utah is in the throes of red meat
shortage. There are no more big,
juicy steaks In most of the markets
OF the State and roast beef is just
a pleasant memory, particularly in
the vicinity Of Salt Lake City,
Ogden. Provo and Brigham City,
which have undergone tremendous
industrial and military expansion
In the last year.
The States packers have used up
their kill quota for the remainder of
the year and they have made it
painfully clear that what little red
meat is on the market now is all
there is going to be until after
January /.
Retail meat dealers, packers and
Gov. Herbert B. Nav have begged
the OPA 1Dr an emergency allot-
ment and to boost the Utah slaugh-
ter quota for the next quarter
but with little hope. In statement
to customers of the American Pack
ing and Provision Co., E. w. Fallen
tine, general manager, said it ap-
pears definite" Utah will receive
no extra allotment, but instead a
more drastic cut is inevitable"
Among the reasons cited for the
shortage by the Governor, the re-
tailers and the packers is an esti-
mated 80 per cent increase in popu-
lation since the last three months
of 1941, on which period the kill
quota Is based; the fact that dur
Ing that period one large packing
concern was fighting a boycott and
Its slaughter was down 236 per cent,
and the termination of operations
since that time by another company
which, during those all-important
three months shipped large amounts
of beef into Utah.
Turkey and chicken still are avail
able in reasonable quantities, but
at the rate stocks are dwindling
some Utahans may have beans for
Christmas.
