BEEF SURPLUS THREATENS CUT IN PRICE LIST Elimination of Meatless Tues day Is Now Under Con sideration Washington, March 14.—Through a curious economic freak the Amer ican housewife is about to obtain Bteaks and rib roasts at a much lower price than war conditions ordinarily would warrant, and serious consider ation is being given by the food ad ministrator to the elimination of meatless Tuesdays from their kit chen calendar. The only thing to prevent such an unexpected benefit from war will be the ability of delegations of cattle man and packers who came to Wash ington yesterday to find a solution of the difficulties arising from an unprecedented surplus of meat in the United States. Fears of a general collapse in beef prices, resulting in cheaper meat to the consumer but causing heavy losses to the farmer and cattle rais er and probably injuring seriously next year's production, were express ed by representatives of the industry. Meatless Tuesday May Go It was learned yesterday that Her- hert C. Hoover, food administrator,! is giving consideration to the propo- \ sal of the elimination of meatless Tuesday during a temporary period ! affected by surplus supplies on the I market. It was stated, however. I tiiea-e were many questions to bej considered in connection with such a j step and one of the chief points was observance by the food administra tion of the effects of the elimination j of porkless Saturday and the daily i meatless meal from the food con- ■ servaUon program. Conditions in | some cities are not favorable to sus- i pension of the meatless Tuesday, it I Is believed. Representatives of the meat in- 1 dustry are agreed the present prices| cannot be maintained unless the I government acts. Packers have all j Ihey can handle with the present re-1 frlgerating facilities and beef is I backing up on the farms. Impossible to .Maintain 1 'rices Mr. Hoover is powerless to main- ! tain prices, and the farmers and I cattlemen have been unable to ob-1 tain much encouragement from j members of Congress in their efforts I to have a minimum market price i lixed. The situation really is serious. It' is understood the meat surplus, j which resulted in the abandonment tor the present of porkless Saturdays' and meatless meals except on Tues- j days, is such that the food admin-1 istration was able to offer to the; Allies six months' meat supplies on. Hie scale agreed upon in the current program. This offer was made, it i was stated yesterday, to dispose of a ' part of the surplus in the manner to' do tjie greatest good, as the swamp- < ing the meat market now may mean ii severe scarcity later, especially if the cattle raiser is forced to take a, low price for his present stock. Allies I'nable to Store Supply It is patent the Allies could nut bundle six months' supplies, as they >ould not obtain refrigeration fa ■ lllties in this country to handle such an abundance of beef and ship-' ping to carrj- it to Kurope is not to Ik- had, It also is understood there was the difficulty of drawing on their in this country to such a great ex tent. Scores of cattlemen arc urging i Mr. Hoover to fix a minimum beef j price, but he is without legal author- j ity to do so. A price has been fixed | nn hogs, but that was possible only through voluntary agreement with the industry last fall, and it is being i ma'ntained only through the strong-! est pressure upon the packers by the; food administration. Higher Prices Seen Xcxt Fall Congress could fix such a price by ! legislation, but scarcely in time to I accomplish the purpose sought. The transportation situation prevented! the early marketing of animals, and those held on the farms and ranches! until recently were fed soft corn, I which farmers were unable to get to . the driers, due also to traffic con- ' gestion in the grain centers. Added ! to this was the decreased consump tion due to the meatless days of the; lood administration. The situation, while indicating' cheaper meat for the consumer at; this time, means, according to cat-j tiemen, high prices and short stock* may prevail next fall. crew, with the captain deposed. i Farm Bureau Directors Endorse Food Plans The endorsement of all efforts to increase the production of crops, fruits 01 animals, and plans for a boys' camp in the southern part of I the county, were the result of a meeting of the executive commit tee of the Dauphin county farm bu reau last night. The boys' camp would be for the purpose of aiding the farmers in tending and harves ting their crops. C. P. Longenecker, of Middletown, was chosen to fill the vacancy in the| executive committee caused by the death of A. L.
