Factors Deep-Rooted.
As you travel farther West ranch
ers and livestock men talk Of deep
rooted factors leading up to today's
shortage. An official Of large West
ern stockyard says it all began with
the decision of the Government In
the spring of 1943 to place in opera
ton the now-familiar rollback pro-
gram through use Of subsidies to
the meat industry.
Everything stems from that" he
declared. The program pegged
wholesale meat prices too low and
discouraged feeding Of cattle to
heavyweights, he pointed out.
Thus, for three years cattle were
drained from the ranges and slaugh-
tered at what cattlemen claim was
uneconomical weights.
"You can't go on like that
liquidating cattle at 20 to 80 per
cent reduced weights-and not end
up with a shortage" one rancher
commented.
A livestock expert at Omaha
pointed out that cattle slaughtered
there during the price holiday this
summer averaged between TOO and
800 pounds. The average weight Of
cattle coming to market at that
time of year normally would range
between 900 and 1900 pounds.
At every stop along the route
West, people were asked who was
to blame for the meat shortage. It
will come as no surprise that OPA
headed the list.

$4,000 Face Layoff
lin Detroit as Result
|0f Pittsburgh Strike
BY the Assoeiaied Press

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 5.-Pitts-
burgh's 12-day-old stalemated
power strike, which had made
more than 100000 workers idle
here, today began to have reper-
cussions in other sections Of the
country.
The basic steel industry in the
district is practically unaffected
since most Of the producing COM
panies have their own generating
plants.
Hard hit, however, are the process
sors and fabricators, makers of fin-
ished and sen1ifinished products,
who have been forced to shut down
almost unanimously throughout the
817-square mile affected area. Ces-
sation of shipments OF their prod
ucts was beginning to make itself
felt.

At Detroit, the Chrysler Corp.
mentioned the power strike as a
contributing factor in an equipment
shortage expected to force the layof
of $4,000 Chrysler and Briggs Manu-
featuring Co. workers.
At Huntington, w. Va, 300 men
were laid off by American Car &
Foundry Co. officials blamed the
power strike In part.
Government mediators, who came
here the first of the week prepared
to hold continuous sessions" until
agreement was reached, held separ-
ate meetings with the Duquesne
Light Co. and Independent union
officials yesterday.
Similar sessions were set up for
today. One conciliator said hope
fully the meetings might" develop
into a joint session of negotiators.
Hope that protective walkout" OF
AFL streetcar operators might end
soon was dashed last night when the
motormen voted 635 to 1862 against
going through picket lines the in
dependent power union has thrown
