4—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 22, 1966 From Where We Stand... Laws Are For The Losers Settlement of the recent public transportation strike in New York City has shown once again that too many of our man-made laws apply only to the weak and to the losers. If you’re big enough, strong enough, or have the right “connections” in high places you can flaunt the law at will. Labor leader Michael Quill has just proved that point again. He publicly defied an, injunction against the strike. He even went so far as to tear up the court order in front of the TV cameras, stating that “The Judge can drop dead in his black robes. . . .” Oh, he sur rendered to authorities, all right, but never saw the jail. He suffered a heart attack and was hauled off to the hospi tal. And he won. The final settlement included dropping of all contempt chafes against Quill and his private union. The actions of one irresponsible man were able to stand the nation’s mightiest city on its ear, directly affect 10 million Americans who live or work in the City, cause economic losses rang ing into the hundreds of millions of dol lars and reaching to all corners of the land. And he is above the law because he won The days when America can toler ate this misuse of power can, in fact, tolerate even such a concentration of power in the hands of one man or group of men has passed. Where the wel fare of the general public is at stake, the “strike” beconies an obsolete labor tool. This fact was even confirmed by another aggressive labor leader this week Walter Reuther. We sincerely hope that he believes his own words. And we hope that in the future the authorities will have the fortitude and the integrity to apply the law to the • Poultry Meeting (Continued from Page 1) ens in too small an area The problems, or rather the chal lenges, often increase at a faster late than the solutions far many of these operations, he bi'nted His illustrated talk covered ni'any of the latest factors in good housing and manage ment sbch as ventilation, bas ic housing, construction, In sulation, cage population, manure handling, egg gather ing, etc He said that the Letters To The Editor Editor, Lancastei Fainting Dear Sri Yom good column in last issue on watei impells me to mail you the -enclosed (bul letin on Natmal Fanning) Trying to inipiove on your slogan last li'ne I came up •with this “isaie a drip and \ou save all ’’ John W Heishey Downmgtown, Pa Lancaster Farming Lancaster County’s Own Farm Weekly P. 0 Box 266 - Litxtz, Pa, 17543 Offices: 22 E.

Poultrymen in the northeast ap parently haven’t been convinced. Ac cording to the January 1966 issue of NEPPCO News, the northeastern .poul try industry seems to have stabilized. They report that “the decline in; all products (eggs, broilers and turkeys), as well as gross income from poultry, has just about leveled off since 1961”. NEPPCO spokesmen go even furth er in saying that some increase in north eastern poultry production can be anti cipated in the future, resulting in the reversal of the long-term' downward trend. We feel this is a reasonable esti mate; it will certainly be true at least in the short run. Economists disagree on most things, and one of these is the loca,- tion of future agricultural production. One school of thought is that it will gravitate to the areas of least cost. The other major school says it will concen trate around the large centers of con sumption. Both may be proved right in the long run. But from here it looks as though there will be a future for the poultry industry in the populated east for some time to come. Production methods are changing, and will con tinue to change, and it is largely be cause of the change that we feel so cer tain there will be a good future in the northeast for the poultryman. hyidi auto; method of handling manure had definite advan tages at a total cost of ap prox Imately 20 'cents per bird for installation and operatfbn of equipment In response to a question from the floor regarding com parative egg production costs between the south and our area, he said that on the. av erage they were comparable. They may have a net advan tage of about 1 (cent per doz en, Claybauglh said, but they don’t match our rate of pro ductivity As they approach omr level from that respect, they null also narrow the cost gap.
