reached no decision on possible in

pensate the industry for whatever
wage increase is agreed upon.
Responding to questions about
the General Motors strike, Mr.. }Tru-
man said he still hoped the COR
poration would accept the wage
recommendation of his fact finding
board. The board proposed an in
crease of 1914 cents an hour for
175,000 striking GIN workers.
Had his fact-f1nding legislation
been approved by Congress. Mr.
Truman said, the GIN dispute would
have been settled now.
The President did not explain his
reasons for this conclusion.
Although approximately 10000 steel
workers remained idle in six States

in the Washington area will be out
of fresh products by tomorrow or
Friday.
Restaurants, hotels and chain
grocery stores, in general, will have
depleted their stocks by that time,
he stated. MIR. Danzansky estimated
that 80 per cent of cattle supplies
arriving here come from the Mid
west and warned that even after the
strike is settled, it will take about
two weeks for new shipments to
reach Washington.
Roland M. Brennan, District pur-
chasing ofncer, reported the Gov
ernment has enough meat promised
from its suppliers to meet the re-
quirements Of District institutions.
At the same time, he has promises
from fish and poultry contractors
for $4,000 pounds of fish and fowl,
which, he said, would provide meat
substitutes for about a month to
hospitals and homes. An additional
one to two weeks supply of pro-
cessed meats, such as sausage and
corned beef, also is available, he
said.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-~Two Catholic
priests who joined CIO pickets pa
rading before struck meat packing
plans today did so because those
are our people," the Rev. Edward
Plawinski said.
Father Plawinski, president Of the
Back of the Yards Neighborhood
Council and pastor of st. John of
Gods Church, and the Rev. Am
brose Ondrak of st. Michael's Slo-
wax Church, donned pickets' lettered
vests and marched in the early
morning picket line side by side with
hog slaughters, beef boners and
other meat industry employees.
Here at the Back of the Yards
Council, the union is vital force, -
Father Plawinski said. Besides
most Of these people are affiliated
with one parish or another. They're
really our people"
The priest quoted Pope Leo XII
as having said in an encyclical that

tiation on the other Tx cenLS.
Hog Receipts Decline.
An early indication Of the effects
Of the strike was the report from IL
leading Midwest livestock markets
that hog receipts today totaled only
17,700, compared with 118,849 in the
same markets week ago.
: Livestock producers for days had
been sharply curtailing their ship
ments to market in the face of the
approaching strike.
In his statement, Mr.. Dressler
said current meat supplies would
last but two or three days on a
Nationwide basis, but that some
small packers who have signed UP
with the union or are operating
would be able to keep some meat
coming to market.
Mr.. Dressler declared the situa-
ton throughout the Nation would
be very, very severe within week
or 10 days"
While some centers faced a severe
shortage by or before the end of
the week, estimates in other centers
ranged up to week or 10 days sup
ply of fresh meat, with some areas
reporting that timed meats might
last considerably longer than that.
The situation was aggravated by
rush of housewives to lay in a
meat supply in advance Of the walk
out in some sections, and by sharp
curtailment in the supply of live
animals coming to market in some
cities where independent packers
were operating.
Supplies of meat in cold storage
are abnormally low, industry spokes-
men said. This is the season of the
year when reserve usually has been
built up after the heavy fall runs
of livestock. particIlarly hogs.

"If the church means what it says,

he added. He said that he and

selves to civilian life.
Not only can we as community
citizens help by lending our time
but also by lending our money.
Much money is needed to bring
our boys home, supply them with
discharge pay, pay the hospital
cation charges for the wounded
and many important items that
can be performed only il the COM
munity citizens of our nation help.
One of the best ways in which
we can assist with our money is
through Victory Bonds and it is
the duty Of every citizen to share
this responsibility to the limit
of his ability.
Post war duties involve COM
munity improvements. One pro-
iect already under way is the new
Junior High school. When this.
building is completed, it viii
greatly relieve the congestion in
the classrooms OF the high school.
Another item, which every citi-
zen sould support, is adequate pay
for our community school teach
ers. A recent investigation in
our community shows that school
teachers receive less pay in pro-
portion to the preparation that
is required in their profession
than any other group in the COM
munity. School teachers salars
aries are paid by taxation. The
schools are the foundation of our
community and it is the duty
of every citizen to see that the
necessary funds r provided.
A project which should be a
major issue is the building of a
hotel in our community. 1t would
not only be a financial asset,
but il would be of convenience
to the travelling public and an at
traction to our city.
There are also various public
buildings which should be re-
modelled or replaced by new
buildings. The most urgent of
these are the court house and
city hall. These buildings are for
the use of the public and in order
for those who r employed in
them to give the best of service
they should be provided with
modern buildings and up-to-date
