S. Government Blamed for Black Market in Meat

Secretary of Agriculture for the State
of Pennsylvania:
ut was necessary for this depart
ment to issue pit slaughterhouse
closing notices during 1913 and % in
1914. In addition approximately so
verbal notices were issued. The ma
jority were operating on permits is
sued without inspection by local
VIA boards"
Things have come to a pretty pass
when, for sanitary reasons, slaughtering
plants operating under Federal permits
are closed by the hundreds by action of
State authority to protect the health
Of the people. So liberal and so careless
has been the issuance OF slaughtering
permits that animals are being slaught-
cred throughout the rural districts of
the country by the thousands by slaugh-
terers who were unknown before Pearl
Harbor and who are operating without
Federal inspection and in many in
stances without State inspection.
One of the outgrowths of the war is
the locker plant" It is said that
there are over 5000 such plants in the
United States. These are cold storage
plants containing large number of in
dividual lockers" which are rented out
to individuals for the private storage
of their meat supply. We city jewellers
do not have private supply OF meat to
store anywhere. We are dependent on
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-04-22

what we can pick up at the meat store.
But literally millions of rural people
have their own supply, either In the
locker plant or in their own cellar or
refrigerator unit.
A friend of mine in the suburbs of
Washington has refrigerated locker in
his own basement where he has more
beef and pork now in storage than can
be found in the average meat market.
This rural meat, nearly all of which is
bought without ration stamps, is OBJ
tanned from farmers and other rural
slaughterers who may or may not hold
slaughtering permits. Many farmer
who formerly slaughtered only two cows
year is now slaughtering 40 or so.
Rarely, indeed, does the product of such
slaughter reach city market. It is
more apt to find its way to a locker
plant or to a convenient cellar or q
rural home.
The other day country newspaper
in Eastern Maryland had as its main
editorial plea to the citizenry to take
their hogs to John Hammerfort" for
slaughter. It expatiated on the excel
lent qualities of "Hammerfort" as a
citizen Of the town and plainly sug-
gested to the owners Of hogs that they
should take them to this distinguished
citizen for slaughter. He has done much
for the town and there was no reason
why he should not have the hogs to

is shortage of meat. The rural areas
are, generally speaking, we'll supplied
There is, in fact, no real meat Short
age. The total slaughter of animals in
1914 was the greatest in history. The
cattle population on the ranges is at an
all-time peak-80, 000,0 900 head. The beef

scant supply as it is maldistribution.
The normal channels of distribution are
not functioning as they should, while
the Legitimate channels are numerous
and thriving.
The black market relates mainly to
beef, although the recent severe shortage
Of hogs is encouraging the development
of black market in pork also. The
shortage of pork is not so much ques-
ton of maldistribution as it is a ques-
ton of scant supply, the production be-
ing off by more than 20 per cent.
The Federal Government is mainly
responsible for the black market in
beef. AS compared with $500 to $500
legitimate slaughterers in normal times,
the War Food Administration has is
sued since Pearl Harbor over $4,000 new
slaughtering permits. The extent and
promiscuity of the issuance of these per-
mits are illustrated by the following

I checked with VIA which replied that
he was without authority to slaughter
and that the matter would be turned
over to the enforcement division for
handling.
The following comes from legitimate
and experienced slaughterer in Min
nesota:
There are large number of these
fy-by-night' non-inspected slaughter
ing houses operating within radius Of
100 miles Of our plant which are doing a
hourishing business, while our plant is
operating about SO per cent of its ca
pacity. We normally slaughter from
$500 to 2,o0o cattle monthly, and during
the month of March we slaughtered only
327 head, and we had to go to the South
st. Paul and Fargo markets to get quite
a few OF these cattle because a large
percentage Of the cattle in our locality
were being disposed of through these
noninspected slaughtering plants -
many OF whom have only been In busi-
ness since the War Food Administration
issued slaughter permits so promiscuous-
" about a year ago."
Needless to say, much of the meat
resulting from this rural slaughter is
sold without the slightest regard for
OPA maximum prices. So tremendous
has been the increase in the purchasing

The number which had his approval, a

With his death Washington, the Ma

How seriously he took the Importance
of this coordination of various con-
struction projects for the orderly and
most beneficial development of the city
may be seen from the following excerpt
from letter to the chairman of the
planning commissions:
Il know how well aware you are of the
profound changes in the Metropolitan
Area Of the Capital which has been
brought about by war construction. I

War Review
Bv Howard p. Bailey

The climax of the war against Ger
many was almost reached last week in
another seven days of steady victory
which brought the Red Armies within
miles of Berlin and placed Gen.
Patton's forces inside Czechoslovakia
and threatening to drive wedge be-
tween Pilsen, Hitlers last remaining
arsenal, and his retreat in the Bavarian
Mountains.
Rumors were numerous concerning
peace riots within Germany, Berlin and
Munich especially being involved. Nuern-
berg, the Nazi shrine city, fell and
Hitler's birthday passed with no word
from the leader who heretofore has
made his natal day day of festivity
throughout Germany.
The past week also brought to light
many new horror stories concerning
German atrocities, brutal handling of
civilian and military prisoners which at
the same time sickened and angered the
American troops which reached some of
the infamous scenes OF wholesale
slaughter.
In the Pacific the war has gone more
slowly with the American forces mainly
concerned with wiping out Japanese air
power and wrecking the war industry of
the home islands.
The high lights Of the week were:

rushed from the Russian front fail to

lively carried on by President Roosevelt,
may in a few years be fully realized.
At an opportune moment he made
100000 available for the purchase of
the historic and scenic Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal, thus adding a cornerstone
to the structure of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway and providing
for the preservation of this outstanding
example of the type of transportation
facility that made our country's de-
velopment possible during the first half
century of its existence. The canal was
improved by CCC labor, another of his
beneficial emergency devices, and now
thousands of people both young and
old annually find enjoyment in out
door exercise on it and along its pic
turesque banks.
But his interests in the National Capt.
tai were far from merely esthetic and
historical. He allotted funds for the
development of the Municipal Airport
at Gravelly Point, which the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
had recommended for so many years. so
that Washington now has the best and
closest-to-town airport of any American
metropolis.

More recently he made possible the
building of the Suitland parkway join
ing Boiling Field and the city with the
next best airport site, the Army's Camp
Springs Airfield, and initiated the be-
ginning of the Baltimore parkway
Through grants and loans he helped get
our courts out of the inadequate shelters
in which they were housed and into
buildings more BETTING the dignity of
American justice.
The grants and loans must also be
noted, which made possible the con-
struction of the sanitary sewer to ALE
viate the pollution of Rock Creek, to
construct the sewage disposal plant at
Blue Plains and to build a sewerage
system in Arlington County.
Always mindful of the needs Of the
poor and of the necessity for safe and
sane recreation to those living in q
crowded city, he gave his Endorsement
to the Alley Dwelling Act of 1884 for the
clearance of Our worst slums, and per-
sonally appointed a committee to re-
concile varying opinions and work out
a system of recreation, resulting in the
creation of the present Recreation
Board. Every one must admit the con-
structive and beneficial work already
accomplished by the latter

Similarly it is to be noted that he
approved the creation of great Recrea-
ton Center at the end of East Capitol
