 Coal miners in western Pennsyl- vania. eastern Kentucky and south- ern Illinois threatened to stop work unless they get more meat.
 Farmers Blamed
 Meat packers blamed the shortage on the farmers. They charged that the farmers were withholding their livestock from market in the hope that price controls will be removed.

Deliveries ToMurkets Cease
 Cold Cuts Gone;
 Chickens Se0reeF:
 No Relief Seen

Waterbury's meat short. age, critical for weeks, had become a famine today.
 A survey by The Democrat disclosed that retailers re- ceived virtually no new deliv- cries today and that poultry. which has been the basis of many a local diet since the shortage grew serious, is growing scarcer. Many re- tailers reported that they failed to receive even the cold cuts they had ordered.
 Chicken, which has been plenti. ful, will be harder to purchase this week, the survey indicated, Slp- plies of turkey are far below what they were last week. Retailers fortunate enough to get any frantfurters at all said they had received only @ small fraction of their orders.
 A number of markets will placa fish on sale tomorrow and Wednes- day. though normally fish sales are principally limited to Thursday and Friday.
 With meat deliveries non-existent or scanty today. retailers found themselves with empty display cases and refrigerators as result of weekend buying. Many stores were ort of their small supply of meat before noon Saturday. Only the fortunate families had beef or pork for Sunday dinner, with tur- key and chicken as the main dish for most.
 T thought it was bad before. but this is the worst yet" said Brook lyn retailer. This morning I got in a few frankfurters. nothing else, not even cold cuts"
 We couldn't even get any chick ems in today" reported a market In the Willow Street section. We have few turkeys left from Sat. urday. but that's all"
 Similar reports came from all sections of the city.
