Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-28

Back in 1915 when the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees moved
into smart new three-story brick
headquarters in High street near
John r.. there was envy in the
ranks of organized labor.
The new union hall was by far
the most pretentious headquarters
Detroit union members had seen.
Since that time many things
have changed. Other unions have
brought or built bigger head
quarters. High streets has been
changed to Vernon Highway and
the words Motor Coach" have
been inserted in the title of the
street car mems union.
MOVING THIS WEEK
And now, having outgrown its
home. the Amalgamated is moving
this week into new quarters on
the eleventh floor of the Griswold
building.
One thing that has not changed
is the presidency of the Amalga-
mated. William D.. Mahon. who
had climbed off his horse-drawn
street car in Columbus, o.. to
help found the Amalgamated in
1892, was president in 1915 and
today, at SO, he is still president
Mahon was elected a year after
the union was organized and his
office has never been successfully
challenged.
For the past week he has been
busy in general supervision OF
moving preparations. Treasured
pictures of longtime associates
have been lifted from his office

Guild Makes Plans
 For Bazaar, Scouts

St. Margaret's Guild of Holy Trinity Cathedral met at the home of Miss Lee Oakes Wednesday eve- ming, with Mrs. Verna Buckley as- sisting as hostess.
 Date of the second annual Doll Bazaar was set for November 29 at the Parish Hall. The sale will open at 10 a. m, and during the noon hour, completely furnished doll house will be given away. The award will be on display several days before the sale in the win- dows of Parsons Electric Store.
 It was e ci d e d that St. Mar garet's Guild will sponsor a troop of Intermediate Girl Scouts. Mrs. Burr Johnson will be the leader, with Mrs. E. L. Bartlett and Miss Alice Brandebury representing the

 Republicans Unseated
 Late returns show the Democrats unseated Republican governors in Ohio, Massachusetts, Missouri, Idaho and Washington. while the Republicans captured the guberna- torial chairs in Indiana and North Dakota from the opposition. Utah Is Doubtful
 The Utah governorship was left in doubt, possibly until next week, when all the states service vote will be counted. So far, it is a neck-and-neck race between the Democratic incumb bent, Herbert Nav, and the Republican, Ubliin U. Backen Lee.
 Dewey To Vacation
 Dewey made plans to vacation in the state of Georgia, which al- most doubled its Republican vote over that of 1940.
 In all, the Southern Republican vote increased sufficiently to start New Orleans partisans talking of strong two-party system in Lou. isiana. There was no bitterness nor any sign of sullenness on the part of Dewey, who said farewell to the reporters who travelled with him over the country.
 Truman's Goal
 Senator Harry s. Truman, who becomes president next Janu- ary 20, said he has set as his goal the development of warm friend ship between the White House and Capitol Hill.

Mrs. Hermann informed us that the price schedule could not be changed in Juneau, but had been fixed in Washington and published in the Federal Register The foregoing letter was sub mitted to Mrs. Hermann by all the meat dealers of Juneau on November 7th, and it is pointed out to the public that the OPA official who worked on the new schedule of prices had refused to make the cutting test which had been suggested by the dealers.
 The dealers also complained that the time

NOTES FOR RTHEPUBLIC

between the receipt of notice of the new price schedule and the day it was ordered into effect was so short that they had little time for discussion with the OPA officials and no time in which to inform the public of the facts.
 The OPA Director has been petitioned for relief and until that relief is obtained, there can be no further sales of beef, either retail or wholesale, by the meat dealers of Juneau.
 The Juneau dealers also state that new schedules had been sent to all the other towns in Alaska, with varying prices de- pending on the location of the town, and that according to their information, pro- tests had also been received by the OPA from most, if not all, of these other towns

STATEMENT

listed should be taken into con- sideration in fixing the prices of the other cuts which we do sell. and the prices of those cuts which are sold in Juneau must be high CT than the prices listed for sev- eral reasons, one of which is that there are so many of your items listed which are not handled.
 We have carefully gone over these items and the prices all lowed and find that it is out of the question to sell them or to market beef as you have ordered, except at loss, and we have, therefore, had to discontinue all sales of beef commencing today, and as beef constitutes such large part of our merchandise, we cannot continue to operate very long by confining our sales to other forms of meat.
 At the time prices were fixed two years ago, they were fixed on a percentage mark-up basis, and your office admitted at that time that 30fo mark-up over the cost price was fair margin. The cost of doing business in the Juneau markets runs from 19To to approximately 24%, with per haps an average of 229o or 23fcc. Our invoices showing our cost prices are always available for your inspection, but, as pointed out to you yesterday, there is a greater demand for some cuts of meat in Juneau than others, and there are certain items that we cannot sell.
 We cannot buy just the cuts for which there is the greatest demand, but we must buy the whole beef, both front and hind quarters together. The wholesale cost is 28A C pound on beef laid- in This has not changed since our prices were last fixed, all though the cost of doing business has increased considerably, and you can readily see that if we pay an average of 28hc pound for all beef, including everything, front and hind quarters, and some person comes in and wants a choice cut, such as 5-lb. trump roast, we cannot afford to cut it out and sell it for BAG pound. which is the price listed on your latest price list.
 You understand that mark up includes freight, insurance, handling charges, cold storage, drayage, rent, help, taxes, etc, and the only fair way to sell meat, under the circumstances, considering the cost to us and considering the fact that we must buy the whole carcass, is on a percentage mark-up and not a flat ceiling price per cut.
 You have reduced the mark-up by these prices 279o on some cuts, and the average reduction is about 20ee over all, where the mark-up on which we had been operating was only 29.5To here tofore.
 One of the difficulties with your schedule prices is that we do not cut beef in the manner which would be called for if we had to adhere to those prices as we have hereinabove pointed out. Two years ago when the prices were fixed, we made a cutting test and the prices were based on that test. The wholesale price remains the same as it was then, while the overhead and freight charges and insurance have ad- vanced very considerably.
 In some, if not all of the items, we understood from our confer ence with you yesterday that the difference between the Juneau price and the Seattle price was % a pound, but we call your att

 official who worked out the pres-
 ent schedule had taken every
 thing into consideration, he would
 readily have seen that the per
 pound differential between the
 retail meat prices in Seattle and
 those in Juneau would not be fair. In the first place our meat must all be shipped to us frozen and under the regulations of the War Shipping Administration, and there is very considerable loss when it is cut and thawed, as you know. There must be separate percentages of mark-up on the different varieties of meat sold, and we submit that the fair way is to allow certain percent age mark-up after having made what is known as cutting test, where a demonstration can be made of the way in which a car cass must be cut, weighed, ham, died and sold in Alaska. We have offered to submit to this cutting test and to abide by the results and to sell beef on the percentage mark-up which you say we are entitled to be allowed and which you say is allowed in the new schedule. If you will allow us the mark-up which you admit is fair, then there is no reason why you should not sub init to the cutting test where we will cut up a whole side of beef in your presence, or in the pres ence of any experts in your of- flee, or if you have none, in the presence of any distinguished meat cutters in the country, and we understand there are at least from eight to twelve men avail able in Juneau who would under stand the cutting test.
 Our invoices showing our costs are always available, and we will gladly submit them to you at any time.
 There is another very serious objection to the new schedule, and that is this: Practically all markets in Juneau make consid- erable sales to fishing boats and those who use large quantities of meat, and the sales are made at a 10T discount on account of their volume. Under the OPA regulations, discounts which were allowed prior to October 1942 must be kept in effect, and it is a violation of OPA regulations to refuse the same discounts as were given two years ago, but where prices are cut so very drastically, indeed even so far as to wipe out all margin of profit, we could not very well stand, in addition to the loss which will be incurred through the general reduction, a further reduction of l09o to those who purchase in large quantities.
 We respectfully request that the prices be restored to those which were fixed two years ago and under which we have been operating during the intervening period, so that we may be allowed a sufficient mark-up to pay all of our overhead, costs of shipment, storage, handling, and make a sufficient margin in order to all low us to continue in business.
 In order to show that the prices which have prevailed in the past two years are on a fair basis, we request you to arrange for cutting test of whole side of beef, and we will abide by the results you obtain, allowing us the same mark-up we have had or the mark-up which you say is fair, namely 30Hd, to cover the cost of shipment, storage, insur- ance, taxes, labor and handling charges.

November 7th, l944 Juneau, Alaska.

Juneau, Alaska. Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann, Director,
 Office of Price Administration, Juneau, Alaska. Dear Mrs. Hermann
 The undersigned meat dealers of Juneau received from you Fri day afternoon new schedule of beef prices, fresh, cured and froz- en, with the statement that these prices would be in effect today, November 7th.
 This notice allowed us no time for discussion of the new prices which your office had ordered as we could not be absent from our places of business on Saturday, your offices were closed on Sun day, and the first opportunity we had for a conference with you was Monday, November 9th, the day before the new prices were ordered to go into effect.
 We had a meeting with you Monday and presented our req sons why we could not sell beef cuts at the prices scheduled to go into effect today. In order to make a record of our objections, we submit the following:
 The new price schedules have divided the cuttings of beef into four sections or groups, as fol- lows:
 Group l SteWs
 Group II Boasts
 Group III Steaks
 Group " Miscellaneous
 Items
 Many of the cuts listed in your schedule are not sold, and there are a few which we do sell which are not listed, as for instance, tenderloin steak.
 In Group I we do not sell in Juneau the following items:
 Brisket (bone-in)
 Flank meat
 Neck (bone in)
 Heel of round tboneless)
 Shank Homeless, hind and
 fore)
 There are eleven items in Group I, only six of which we sell. In Group II we do not sell the following items:
 Rib standing (Chine bone
 in 10-inch cut
 Rump (boneless)
 English cut
 Chuck or Shoulder (bone-
 lessl
 There are eight items in Group II. only four of which we sell. Tn Group III we do not sell the following items:
 Porterhouse
 Club; Pin Bone
 Rib 10-inch cut
 Round (boneless-top and
 bottom)
 Chuck blade (bone-in);
 chuck arm There are nine items in Group III, only four of which we sell. For instance porterhouse steak is not sold, but we do sell T-Bone. steaks. The second item in Group III includes three different cuts at the same price. We do not sell Club steak as that is a restaurant name only, and we do not sell 10- inch rib steak, so that there are five items in Group III that we do not handle.
 Group ". We do not sell ground beef Hamburger but do handle ground round steak. There are practically no sales for soup bones and suet on which you allow 4c and Sc pound re- spectively. Most soup bones have to be given away, and some suet can be sold at Sc pound, but there is no sale for it at 6c. These items which we have
