The Labor Department an
nounced yesterday that after Sep
tenfber it will require companies
and unions TO share in the response
bility for appointing arbitrators in
disputes over basic contract terms
of wages.
Edgar L. Warren, director of the
Cancellation Service, said the new
policy was recommended by the
Presidents labor management con-
ference last winter.
Where contracts voluntarily en-
tered into provide that the Con-
ciliation Service shall appoint the
arbitrator, the service will continue,
as in the past to do so,' Mr.. War
rem said
Where contracts provide that
the Colciliation Service shall fur
nish list of names for the parties
to choose from or strike from, the
service will continue to follow that
procedure.
THE new policy, however, will be
applied in those cases where dis
putes involve the fixing, by the
arbitrator or by board of arbitra-
tors, of wages, or the writing of
basic contract terms, for the reason
that the financial stability of the
company or the existence of the
union may be involved"
Mr.. Warren emphasized the new
policy governs only arbitrators, who
sit as judges and hand down bind
ing verdicts on issues after they are
argued. and not conciliators, who
attempt to persuade disputants to
compromise their differences.
The director said the arbitration
policy will have 'far-reaching eff
feet" and was designed to assure
disputing parties of both the fair
ness and the professional COM
petence OF arbitrators."
He said companies and unions
would be asked to participate in
selection OF arbitrators by choosing
names from lists the Labor Depart
ment will submit when so requested.

Strikes Cut Bread Supply
In PhiIadeIp and CHICAGO
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

Bread supplies were curtailed to-
day in two of the Nations three
largest cities by strikes of AFL
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
Union locals.
Two-thirds of the daily output in
Philadelphia was cut off by walkouts
at 13 plants of eight major firms.
An industry spokesman estimated
the daily production loss at million
loaves, leaving less than half that
many to feed approximately 1000 900
residents of the area.
In Chicago walkout affected
some $50 smaller shops, but large
wholesale bakeries were left in
operation. The union estimated the
strike cut the city's supply 20 per
cent. A spokesman for the Associ-
ated Retail Bakers of Greater Chi
cago said production would drop 80
per cent, however.
The striking unions, one local In
Philadelphia and two in Chicago,
seek wage increases.
Many chain stores started infor-
NAL bread rationing-one loaf to a
customer-in Philadelphia as long
lines formed at the counters. In
some cases the entire white bread
supply for the day sold out in an
hour.

different feeds fed daily can be made
more practically at the end of the
feeding period when such feeds are
practically exhausted If feeds are to
be purchased, the cost usually is
lower at harvest time. This parti-
cularly is true in regard to hay.
Normally it is true in regard to
grains; however, because of unsettled
market conditions, most authorities
advise the dairymen to buy grains
this year as needed rather than stock
ahead For dairymen who might be
interested in estimating his feed
needs, there are a few guides that
have been found to be very practical.
When considering roughage estimates,
the average COW will need approx
mately two tons of good hay, and
three tons of silage, or if no silage is
available three tons of a good high
protein hay. The same roughage esti-
mate will be adequate for bulls. Also,
there should be plenty of good quail
ty hay provided for the young grow
ing stock. A ton of legume hay and
z tons of ensilage should be allowed
for yearlings or if no ensilage is
available l y tons of good legume
hay. Calves under one year will con-
sumo approximately one-half this
amount of quality hay. When con-
sidering concentrate estimates. the
dairy cow that produces around 300
pounds butterfat will need approx
mately 2400 pounds of grain in a year
in other words, about pounds of
grain for each pound of buttelfat
On the average a bull would need APP
proXimately half as much as a COW
Yearlng heifers would need three to
five hundred pounds and calves still
less; however, dairymen will find it
profitable to give some grain to all
ages during the winter months. The
concentrate mixture is important and
is governed by the kind and quality
of roughage. The poorer the quality
of roughage, the richer the concen-
trate rations should be; or if not
practical to change the concentrate
mixture, greater amount should be
fed.

records were as 1915; therefore, hav-
ing in mind some Of the above inform
alton brought in past records, Gar
rett County dairymen in herd i'm
provement associations are in better
position to make more efficient use
of the records they are now obtaining
on their herds for the first time.
There are now two full-time dairy
herd Improvement associations in
Garrett County.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1946-10-10

Dairy herd improvement records
bring out many problems that dairy
men are confronted with when de
veloping an efficient dairy herd. One
of the most difficult problems the
dairyman has to contend with is that
of reducing to the minimum the large
turnover in cows that ordinarily takes
place in his herd If he could only
raise heifers with ability to produce
at a profitable level so there would
be no need for culling at a later date
and if losses from accidents and di-
seases were avoided, the maintenance
of the dairy herd would be rather
simple; however, in many herds the
replacement needs each year are I'M
usually high. Many dairymen find
that they have no surplus animals to
sell for breeding at it takes all heif
ers they can raise for replacement of
their own herds. In the Maryland
dairy herd Improvement associations
last year, there were 2,018 cows re-
moved from the herds for various
reasons. This represented 17fl of the
milking cows in the herds. Ia other
words, for every six cows, there would
be need for one replacement. The
dairy herd Improvement records show
that low producers represent 36Ic of
the 2.01S cows which were culled
from herds last year. Diseases repre-
scented the second largest toll which
was 800 OF the number of COWS sold
because of disease, mastitis took the
greatest toll Of l5H This was fol-
lowed by bangs and sterility with 7Ic
each with only ~ for t.b. reactors.
1870 of the cows were removed from
herds for dairy purposes while 10
died, 81 were removed for old age,
and 81 for various other reasons.
Also, last year 52re of the cows
leaving herds enrolled in the dairy
herd Improvement associations less
than six years old. Since it takes
approximately two lactations for a
dairy COW to pay for the cost of rails
ing her and ready to return a prof
it to her owner, and inasmuch as she
doesn't reach maturity until six years
of age at which time COW is con-
sidercd to reach her peak production,
it appears that large number Of
cows are being culled from dairy
herds without even returning a net
income to the dairy farmer.
Thus, it would seem that the dairy
men are confronted with two specific
problems-first, to raise COWS that
can last for more than four or five
years with profitable production and
to care for them properly 50 they will
contiue to produce over longer
period and second, to raise more good
heifers for requirements from the
higher producing cows which if &C
complished most certainly will require
records Of performance.
Another problem confronting dairy
men is that of making plans for the
winter feeding period which is rather
long in Garrett county, In the fall is
an excellent time for the wise dairy
man to take inventory of his feed
supplies and balance them against
his needs for the coming season. If he
