The “meat-easies” operate only on Mondays, which has been decreed meatless by the Mayor of New York, Mr. F. 11. La Guardia.
Yesterday. New York's first meatless Monday, 200 butchers carrying knives, steels' and choppers, marched to the City Hall to demand employment on their compulsory “off” days. They said they should be allowed to work in Army meat-boning plants. City Hall officials told them work would be ready for them on February 19.
