Wallace Moves to Maintain Reduced Live Poultry Fees
New York City reports a thaw near ending the deadlock between agriculture officials and unions over live poultry unloading. Since May 1 the unloading fee has been 41 a car, down from 52, with no rail cars reaching New York during the strike and trucking up. Some shipments moved to Newark, where poultry were transferred to trucks. Newark received 23 cars last week versus seven to eight normal. Secretary Wallace reportedly told New York commission firms there will be no change to the reduced fee, and the combination of policy and strike has raised market prices.
