Likewise little mention of meat boarding saw the
light of day through regular corporation but
here are a few figures to null over as examples of
what was happening a nationwide basis during the
weeks preceding decontro1:
Six million pounds of meat found by state officials
in one Boston warehouse Thirteen million pounds I'M
covered in N Y City in 24hour search-plus 16 mil
lion pounds of poultry. Forty-five million pounds of
meat discovered in a two-day search IN chicago. IL
million pounds boarded by Kansas City packers and
wholesalers according to an OPA official. And the
nations tables practically bare of meat!
And you readers, who also readers of the Great
Falls Tribune will recall that page of October
II large picture of the Baltimore butcher
shop wherein the had held up so sides of beef
until such time controls were removed-so that he
could "ceebrate'-at the expense of his meat hungry
customers. Since that picture was printed, | have
received information that in southeastern city of
the state meat retailer had boarded away several
hundred sides beef and couple of thousand pounds
of poultry pork ETC., for the GLORIOUS day of liberia
ton. No doubt this happened in all parts of the ma
ton-with evil ntent-to kill off controls that
the would be bed through the nose in order
to properly feed his family.
The blame rest assured not be placed at the
the national administration The president and
his aides did the very best they could by the public
in trying to make the fake OPA law, passed in July
work No, the blame must be placed squarey on the
shoulders of those republican misrepresentation and
few southern cohorts in the United States congress-
1t they who cut the heart out of price controlsal
though 81 per cent the American people insist
ing effective controls during this period of extreme
scarcity 1t was they who were the traitors to the
ordinary man and of the nation. And, it will
be they who will be unceremoniously dumped into the
political ashcan November 5. This includes the
second district congressman who did his leveheaded
best to kill any and all meant to protect the
welfare of the consumer.

now going strong in New York City. A 'Taftburger
by way of explanation is 10cent hamburger with the
