Beef Strike Spreads Amid Tight Milwaukee Supplies
Milwaukee stockyards manager Hugo Murray notes a pattern similar to wartime OPA controls as Eastern buyers pay $1 to $1.50 over government price. Retail butchers report tightening beef supplies with shortages in ham burger and low-cut grades. A Chicago Sun-Times survey finds 10 of 23 shops reporting tightening stocks while 13 see normal arrivals. OPS agents monitor small packers bidding up cattle, with Armour Wilson and Swift among large buyers outpaced by smaller firms in Chicago.
