Civilian Meat Supplies
Expected 10 Drop 81
In Fall and Winter
By the Associated Press.


Rejecting reduced supplies and a
lower level Of livestock production,
civilian meat supplies during the
fall and early winter may be 8 or
10 per cent below those available
in the first half Of this year.
This forecast was given by the
Agriculture Department today in a
report on the food situation which
said food supplies as a whole will be
relatively plentiful during the fall
and winter.
Reduced supplies OF meats and
dairy products will be Offset, the
report said, by larger supplies Of
fresh fruits and vegetables and
cereal products.
The Department said the civilian
food supply is being maintained at
present levels despite large war re-
quirements because of the tire
mendous increase" in total food pro-
duction since the beginning Of the
war. The volume Of agricultural
production Of foods for sale and
farm use in 1914 is expected to be
SO per cent above the 1869 aver
age and almost S per cent larger
than last year. Most Of this in
crease over 1943 will be in food
grains - principally wheat - fruits,
truck crops and meats.
The Department said meat pro-
duction this year probably will
reach $4,000, ,000, 900 pounds, dressed
weight, or the largest on record. The
greater portion OF this production
came in the first half of the year.
however. Because storage facilities
were not adequate to carry over any
larger quantities of meat from
periods of peak production to the
latter part of the year, civilian cons
sumers benefited from large supplies
during the spring and summer.
The Department said that during
the coming months seasonal in
creases are expected in beef and veal
production. But they will be Offset
by an expected decrease of IS per
cent in the production of pork.

Green, Meany, Executive Council
Reelected Unanimously for 1915
President Reelected For 21s Consecutive Yearly Term
AS Head of AFL

New Orleans.-President William
Green, Secretary Treasurer George
Meany and the entire roster of AFL
Vice Presidents on the Executive
Council were unanimously reelected
at the closing session of the Gath an

Green said:

AFL Reaffirms Its No-Strike Pledge;
Insists Government Show Good Faith

President Allen of the CTU charged
that the Board had consistently played
along with rival CIO union, both in
a former case involving Postal Tele-
graph employees and in the present dis
pute. In the Postal case, he pointed
out, the CIO asked for single nation
wide voting unit for all employees and
the Board granted it over AFL OBJ
jections. Now, with Postal and West
ern Union merged, the board has re-
versed its own precedent and ordered
seven separate regional elections in
stead of single one for the entire
country, as demanded by the CTU.
Commenting on this case, Mr.
Green denounced the NLRB's decision
as reprehensible and exasperating."
He revealed he had written a letter to
Chairman Mills of the NLRB, telling
him II would be happy, | would cele-
brate, when his term of office ended"
Mr.. Green concluded predicting an
overwhelming victory for the CTU
when the Western Union elections are
held next month and said the board
would be tremendously disappointed
by the result.

Delegates Give Rousng Demonstration Of United Stand
For Victory AS Convention Ends

New Orleans.-As the climax of it's
labors, the 64th annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor,
by rising unanimous vote, reaffirm-
ed the no-strike pledge for the dura-

Before the convention adjourned,
President William Green, in the name
of the Federation's seven million
members, sent cablegrams to Gen.
Eisenhower and Gen. Macarthur in

Of the AFL's action.
The convention declaration, which
becomes the official policy of the
AFL, said:
"We hereby reaffirm our determin-
alton to fulfill our pledges to the gov
ernment and to the people of the
United States and to the members of
the armed forces, that we will give
every possible assistance in prescott
ing the present war to victorious
conclusion.
eve renew our no-strike pledge and
reaffirm our determination to contin-
ue assisting in financing the war and
as soldiers in the army of production,
give full service in the production of
the implements of war.
eve also insist that the govern
ment and industry respect our rights,
preserve our agreements and apply
them in good faith and that our no.
strike pledge must not be used as a
subterfuge to deprive us of long-es-
tablished rights and privileges"
AS Secretary John P. Frey of the
Resolutions Committee moved for the
adoption of this declaration, Presi-
dent Green said:
eve want the world to understand
where we stand on this subject. All in
favor of the committees report please
rise to your feet"
The delegates stood up in solic
phalanx, cheering. When the demon
stration ended, Mr.. Green called upon
those opposed to the report to stand
Not single delegates arose.
This impressive unity of thought
and action was again manifested

the delegates voted to meet next year
in Chicago, the first time an AFL con-
vention has gone to that city in fifty
years.
One of the issues which aroused the
delegates to fighting pitch in the clos

against AFL unions by the National

on unjust decisions by the NLRB, the
most spectacular case being that of

face in the coming year and added:
"There is one point on which think
we can all agree-that is, that the

what is more important, that we face
the job as thoroughly consistent,
