Meat Supply Dwind|es
Here as Warehouses
Report Scant Receipts

Record low levels of slaughter cat
tie deliveries in Chicago and other
packing centers were reflected here
today in a continuing decline in
the meat supply In warehouses and
retail store counters.
Meat industry spokesmen said
carload shipments yesterday and
those expected for later today were
far below the ordinary midweek
quantities, which are comparatively
small in any event: Fewer than 10
carloads repeatedly came in yes
terday and today.
The increasing shortage is still
far from famine" proportions here
a retail store spokesman said. But
there is little Of the variety Of cuts
which were available in recent
weeks and the supply houses no
longer bulge with meat. ..
The District OPA ONCE reported
that "only two or three" complaints
of over-ceiling charges have been
reported here since the new CELL
ings on meat became effective this
week. None was received this morn
ing, spokesman said. The COM
plants concerned reported charges
Of 10 to 80 cents above ceilings and
are still under investigation.
Few Laid OF Jobs.
So far as could be determined
from spot check, few If any lay
offs in wholesale or retail meat es-
tablishments have occurred here
during the three days since OPA
retail ceilings went back on meat.
Poultry continues plentiful here,
and most kinds of canned and
processed meats can be obtained.
an official Of an association Of inde-
pendent retailers said.
Two of the largest supply houses
said they had mo way of knowing
whether shipments will increase in
the near future. They said only 1000
cattle reached the Chicago stock
yards yesterday, as compared with
a peak of more than $4,000 several
weeks ago.
The Agriculture Department, the
Associated Press reported, noted
that the East is getting most of the
meat available from packing cen

Maximum Efficiency.
The innovation permits maximum
efficiency in railroad yard operation
by allowing for greater managerial
control of large operation and
greater coordination between the
yardmaster and crews. 1t also per-
mits complete communications COW
erage of the entire yard from any
control point, and an instantaneous
and direct communication link from
the conductor or locomotive engineer
to any control point.
Besides allowing for stepped-up
operation. the communications sys-
tenn is said to provide an increased
safety factor. officials pointed out
that wild cars" can be reported
quickly to all control points and all
crews operating within the yard the
instant they are observed. Acct
dents also can be reported imme-
diately.

Workmen's Compensation Prospects

legislature, we are told, who favor the pro-
posal for a workmen's compensation bill. One
group favors the Arkansas bill, which is con-
sidered conservative, and provides for a max
imum $25 compensation a week in cases OF
total liability, and a maximum of about
$4,000 in case of death of a workman due to
the employers responsibility. This bill is said
to be acceptable to the organized unions and
to the u. S. bureau of labor standards in the
Department of Labor. Another group in the
legislature is said to want a more generous
bill more in line with the payments enforced
by bills in other states. Between these groups,
the enemies of workmen's compensation
legislation are expected to work their usual
skillful tactics. And it is conceded that they
have a good chance of killing the bill in this
Legislature as they have in so many in the
past.
We do not believe they could do it if Gov
ernor Bailey took a strong and fortnight
stand on the issue. He has failed to do so
thus far.
1t must be remembered on this question
that, on the whole, both capital and labor
makes settlement easier, less expensive and
quicker. But it also reduces the chance of
the jack-leg type of lawyer to worry" such
a case to death for the sake of an exhorbitant
fee.

of good citizenship is what the conservation

safeguard in the expanding ndustrialization
of Mississippi.
This work is being done quietly and with

but no issue in Jackson is of greater long

The whole basis of the conservation move

up to this: Mississippi's countryside, its

The w0rKmen's compensation issue IN the

opponents will try to make more complicated
as the session drags on. Mississippi is the
only state which does not have this neces-
sary law-defining the amount and method
Of compensation in industrial injuries and
deaths. The men who oppose it are neither
employers or employees, but a fringe of law
yers of the ambulance-chasing type who
make some of their ~juiciest fees by wfang-
ling settlements of such cases which Of

the plaintiffs or the defendants in the cases.

ally complicated to death by the ambu-

Good Work On Pollution Issue

Our recent information on the issue of pro-
tecting Mississippi's streams from industrial
pollution and ruination leads us to the con-
clusion that a number of members of the
Mississippi legislature now converting have
quietly been doing an excellent job along
they will be able to prevent any crippling
amendments to the state law at this session.
This sound conservation movement has
more or less followed the leadership of Gov
ernor Hugh White in the house and Senator
Curran w. Sullivan of Hattiesburg in the
Senate, and includes a few of the outstanding
people in both chambers. They are men
friendly to industry, and Governor White
himself was the originator of the balance
Observation-Disclosures program some ten
years ago which has done so much, during
succeeding administrations to bring business
and industrial payrolls to Mississippi.
Blu their point of view is f~arsighted
and they are working for a reasonable
but sound conservation program which
will insure the protection of the Missis-
sippi countryside so that industrializa-
ton can actually prove a blessing. and
not leave beautiful areas of the state ex-
hausted and ruined in the long run like
the plaques of locusts in the Bible. We

sissippiT Governor White said recently.
but we want the rivers and the fishing
and the countryside too. and we can have
both If we act intelligentlY."
We have learned that an effort was made
not so long ago by the Johns-Manville Cor
p~oration, manufacturers of asbestos roofing,
to persuade the conservation leaders of the
Legislature that Mississippi should declare
certain rivers industrial streams and free
manufacturers operating along their banks
from observing the laws against poisoning
and polluting state streams. Governor White
and Senator Sullivan, who is chairman of
the senate conservatism committee, and their
colleagues advised them that any industry
seeking the aid of Mississippi's hospitable
BAWI industrial program would have to
come forward with sounder principles of CO.
operation and fair-play. The company spokes-
man was asked if his company did not have
to observe pollution laws in other states
Where plants were located. He admitted that
they did, and that some of the laws were
more stringent than that of Mississippi. He
was told then hat the conservation leaders
hoped that a Johns-Manville plant could be
located in Mississippi, but that il would have
to be on a more cooperative basis than that
of declaring certain water-courses indus
trial streams Johns-Manville apparently
decided Mississippi's advantages made it
worthwhile to accept his reasonable point
Of view. This week they have a representa-

tive in Jackson, who is said not to be a
lobbyist, who is carrying forward discussions
toward the ACCESSIBILITY of locating a plant
here.
The industrial streams" technique was
followed in a number of states along the
Eastern seaboard, and when the pollution re-
strictions were lifted, industrial streams be-
came industrial sewers, foul-smelling, stain
ed, and covered with trash and chemical
scum. As things now stand in the legislature,
there is no sentiment for following such a
program in Mississippi.
There is no reason why 1t Is necessary.
Modern industrial chemistry. which has
created miracles in producing syEthe-
tics. has also developed many methods
OF treating the chemical discharges from
these processes. There also exists the
Observation-Disclosures method which
will work in any case. This method simp.
lY provides for the drying out Of all mois-
ture from the wastes and the burning
of the solids and injurious substances
that remain. The objection to this
method from the point of view of indus
try Is that it adds expense to the operat-
ing overhead. But the leading pollution
experts assert that the evsporation-in-
cineration method is relatively inexpen-
sive compared to other costs and pro-
fits. and that II has worked in many of
the most difficult waste problems dur
ing the wartime production program.
such as the powder factories.
News of keen interest and Importance to
all who have followed the anti-pollution fight
in Mississippi is the fact that Rutgers uni
versity is sending an expert to confer with
the conservation leaders in the legislature,
at their invitation, on the question of select
ing an expert pollution chemist for the Mis-
sissippi conservation department.
The state has had an anti-pollution law
since 1912, prohibiting the discharge of any
industrial wastes injurious to fish and
streams. But the lack of any trained chemist
in the state department of conservation made
possible fragrant continued evasion of this
law by a number of otherwise-desirable
plants in the state. The Chronicle-Star and
Advertiser has urged the selection of a train
ed man in this field in order that the law
might be enforced intelligently and fairly
to both the state and to industry. A state ex-
pert capable of making the tests and meas
urement for such things as dissolved oxygen
in water, bioehemical oxygen demand of dis
charged wastes, and t~oxicity, will be able to
give industries a clean bill of health when
they are meeting the law, just as he will be
able 10 produce expert evidence in char
Gerry or criminal court when the law is be-
ing violated. Al the same time. being trained
in this field, he will be able to study the

ST. MARY'S IS WhLL0pED BY
 U(LA, 46T02

LOS ANGELES, Nov. ? - The University of California at Los An geleS Bruins remained one of the nations top undefeated major col lege teams today after humiliating St. Mary's Gaels, 46 to 20, before the largest grid crowd of the 1946 season last night.
 A roaring turnout of 92,976 watched the would-be Rose Bowl UCLAns, led by All-America can didates Left End Burr Baldwin and T-Quarterback E.nie Case, roll up a 19-7 lead in the first quarter and swell it to 40-7 at the end o1 the third, crushing what ever hopes the Gaels had of pull ing an upset.
 Coach Bert put in his second team players, and it was against his secondary forces that St. Mary's rallied to score twice in the final period.
 The game, a conference con test with no bearing on the Bruins Rose Bowl campaign, brought the UCLAns total points for the sea- sen to POT in SIX games to op- ponents 59.
 Baldwin scored three touchdoWns one on a pass from sharpshooter Case, good for 49 yards, another on a pogo-pass from Case, good for 9 yards. Case pitched another six-point strike to Halfback Ernie Johnson.
 Squirming Herman Wedeweyer the Gaels' All-America from last year, marked man, was the goat, and could be charged directly or indirectly with four Bruin touch- downs.
 The Hawaiian star had a punt blocked for the first touchdown punted poorly to set up the next saw his pass intercepted to lead to a third, and was charged with interference on pass play prior to another UCLAn score.
 Wedemeyer fired two scoring passes, however, to End Henry Vangieson, one good for 48 yards the other for g, and cut loose for a 92 yard runback of a kickoff across the Bruin goal, only to have the play nullified by Bruin off side on the play.
