Beef Steaks Are Reported Practically in Class win
 Fri(asseed Dodo
(By The Associated Press)

Fresh meat hard to get in war; time with rationing in effect, has virtually vanished from most of the nations peacetime dinner tables.
 With slaughtering operations of most of the big packers at an his toric low ievel, the shortage of fresh meat supplies is general throughout the country.
 One meat packing industry spokes- man said the consumer supply of meat in legitimate channels was lower than at any time in history.
 Most of the packing plants, large and small, maintain skeleton work ing crews. Many plants have closed. Butcher shops in many cities re- main closed two or three days a week
 Business at the big packing plants in Chicago and Kansas City, the nations two largest meat centers, is at an all-time low.
 Since Monday Chicago packers re- ported slaughtering less than 4,o0o cattle, the lowest in history and compared to more than 10000 heads the same days last year.
 Armour, one of the biggest pack CTS. has not slaughtered beef ami maj this week. Operating at capac- ity, the cattle slaughtering depart ment could dispose of 220 animals an hour.

R.R. FREIGHT RATES. GOING
 up SHARPLY
Interstate Commerce Com mission Gives Author
 ization for Raise

WASHINGTON, June 22. - The nations freight rate bill will swerve sharply upward next month, but OPA officials withheld judgment today as to the effect on living and business costs.
 Increases in interstate freight rates and charges which will bring rail and water carriers, about S290,- 000,000 more in gross revenue on an annual basis were authorized late yesterday by the interstate commerce commission.
 And still larger boosts are in prospect. The commission announc- ed that full hearing will be held promptly" on the carriers peti- ton for a 25 percent rate hike to meet what they called a critical financial condition.
 The new freight rates, effective July l on three days advance mo- tlce, will continue until the com mission resumes a decision on the proposed 25 percent increase.
 In Cleveland, John J. Fitzpatrick, eastern territory chairman of the Traffic Executives Association, said the railroads had hoped the com mission would authorize the full increases in a single order, and termed yesterdays decision "a great disappointment to the rail- roads"
 The OPA declined to speculate immediately on what impact the increases would have on the stabili- zation program. Director Paul Por- ter said he could not forecast be- fore Monday what effect, if any the boosts will have on the prices of goods hauled by rail and water

MONEY VALUATION
 STUMBLING BLOCK
 TO MINIMUM WAGE

SEATTLE. June 9. William Herbert Hutchinson of Great Bri- tain observed yesterday he had paid $235 in Seattle for haircut and shampoo that would have cost him TO cents in London and said he opposed an arbitrary minimum wage for the worlds seamen be- cause of the great variance in the value of money among the worlds nations.
 Ship owners representing IS na- tions joined in bloc behind this line of reasoning as the minimum wage proposal stumbled in the Wage and Hour Committee of the World Maritime Conference.
 Hutchinson. a Workers Delegate, added that a minimum scale of some sort must be agreed upon, however, to avoid a possibility that an avaricious ship owner in a low pay nation might exploit his work CTS
 "It must be recognized said Richard Snedden. British ship own CT delegate, that seamens wages depend in the main upon the cost and standard of living in their re- spectiye countries and are related to the general level of wages in the shore industries of the country concerned

HOBBS LABOR RACkETEERING BILL PASSED
Capital Speeulates on Iru- man Veto of Union-
 Opposed Measure

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Con- gress thrust a new dilemma upon President Truman today in the form of the so-called Hobbs anti racketeering" bill, long the target of violent union criticism. Passage came on a voice vote.
 The Hobbs bill, which has been bidding annually for passage since 1942, surprised everyone by whip ping through the Senate suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday in the exact form already approved by the House.
 Capitol Hill immediately buzzed with speculation whether MT. Tru- man might veto it, just as he did the Case bill last week. The lat ter included the Hobbs measures provisions in identical language and the Senate Judiciary Committee said such legislation would prevent "intererence with interstate com- merce by robbery and extortion." Tn the June Il Case bill veto, MT. Truman said that while he was m full accord with the objectiyes, Congress should expressly provide the measure "does not make it felony to strike and picket peace fully and to take other legitimate and peaceful concerted action"

RACE TRACKS VS. VET
 HOUSING

Biggest scandal in the veterans housing program is the way non- essential race tracks, roller coasters, and bowling alleys divert thousands of feet of precious lumber and car penters' time, which could be used cn homes for veterans.
 Among the new or refurbished race tracks are those at Atlantic City and Monmouth, N. J., with the Arlington, H., track also at tempting to wangle some new re- construction, and quite a battle raging over the Tanforan Track near San Francisco.
 The fight over rebuilding Tam foran is an illustration of how en- ergetic race track owners and sleepy eyed CPA officials cooper ate to give veterans housing the go-by.
 On April 26, San Francisco contractor filed a complaint with CPA Civilian Production Admin istration) that the Tanforan Race track was getting carpenters by advertising overtime and, as re- suit. his veterans housing projects were at standstill
 CPA, however, ruled that Tanfor- an was merely demolishing former Navy construction, which it ruled was permissible About this time however, Tanforan applied for a new construction permit. and, ac- cording to Guy Standifer, presi- dent of the track, he was encourag- ed to go ahead by Ed Halloran, Re gional CPA Construction Manager
 Halloran denies this, but Stand fer testifies that Halloran was very
