SHORTAGE OF MEAT
BUTCHERIES CLOSED IN NEW YORK TRUCKS MOVING AGAIN (Rec. 11.20 a.m.) NEW YORK. Sept. 18. Several thousand trucks hitherto strike-bound moved to-day, carrying much-needed food, newsprint, and other cargoes. All New York newspapers resumed normal sizes and full advertising. 4 The Mayor. Mr. O’Dwyer, expects that the trucking situation will be normal by the week-end. Meanwhile the city’s meat supply is described as the lowest in the history of the wholesale markets, with little early prospect of improvement. The meat shortages are generally ascribed to the restored O.P.A. price ceilings, rather than the strike. The shortage is so severe throughout the nation that thousands of butchers shops remain closed. Poultry, cheese and canned foods are dearer and - scarcer.
