“Butchers Dying Of Broken Hearts Many British butchers were “dying of broken hearts,” because it was no longer a pleasure to them to stand m their shops and serve their customers, said a speaker at the general meeting of the National Federation of Meat Traders’ Associations. The federation decided to ask the Prime Minister (Ml Attlee) to receive a delegation to discuss means of supplementing British meat supplies. The president, elect (Mr E. J. Baldwin) said there was not enough meat to provide an honest meai for the public, and that nine joints cut of 10 dried up or were spoilt m the even because of their smallness. The meat shortage was one of the principal reasons for ’ restricted factory output, because the difficulties of housewives impaired their companionability, and this led to unhappy homes and unhappy workmen. —London, April 26.
