Is anything further being done TO prevent
the growth of the Block Market?
Yes. The u. S. Department of Agriculture
has announced plan under which all
slaughterers and livestock dealers must be
licensed. Every slaughterer no matter how
SMALL will be assigned permit number
and will be required to carry it on every
wholesale cut of meat.
What ore The dangers Of The Block Morkef?
If the Black Market gets strangle hold
on meat
-rationing will be impractcable and unavoidable
the consumer will pay more and more
the dealer will be forced more and more to deal
with racketeers
the meat packer will be less and less able to take
care of government requirements and the retail
trade
the producer will be put under more and more
regulations
additionally, more and more people will be de-
prved of the proteins, B vtarins and minerals of
meat needed for strength and efficiency.
What can you as a consumer do
TO check the Black Market2
If you will make sure every time you buy
that you pay no more than the legal ceiling
price, you will dry up the profit which keeps
the Black Market in business.
Meat racketeering operations cannot exist
without the exorbitant profits which in
duce crooks and racketeers to take desperate
chances with the law.
Until the time when all legally slaugh-
tered meat carries some Identification Gum
der the licensing plan), the most important
thing you can do is to insist upon knowing
the price ceilings, and abiding by them.
This alone will do big part of the job of
killing the Black Market.
BY doing this you will help your country
and yourself by freeing the people from the
grip of racketeers, and insuring vital meat
supplies for your own boys and your neigh
bors' boys who are fighting our battles.

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-03-18

The rofioning of meat and other vital foods

The governments aim in rofioning, of
course, is TO opporfion the ovoilobIe civil
ion supply of meet on shore-ond-shore-
alike basis.
II should be understood, however, thof
rofionins is no evre-oII forfhe BloekMorkef
and actually can increase IFS evils.
Rofioning cannot succeed if the Black
Market is not evrbed, and the menace of
the Black Market con be controlled only
by strict enforcement Of the laws backed
by the sentiment of an informed, aroused
and fighting nation.
