NATION'S MEAT PACKING INDUSTRY IN HIGH GEAR
By FRANKLIN MULLIN
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—(AP)— War has
kicked the nation’s meat packing
industry into high gear—full speed
ahead as never before.
Packers’ plants are humming
with activity, employing more per-
sons than at any previous time,
according to industry estimates to-
day, and the end of the speed-up
to not in sight.
As a part of the American war
machine, plants of packers working
on government contracts have been
barred to visitors. Conducted tours,
which had enabled thousands to
watch the dispatch of meat ani-
mals and preparation of food, have
been stopped.

AN ORDINANCE MAKING IT AN
OFFENSE FOR AN ITINERANT VEN-
DOR TO CONDUCT HIS BUSINESS IN
THE CITY OF A BILENE WITHOUT A
LICENSE; DEFINING THE TERM
"ITINERANT VENDOR." PRDSCRIB-
ING SAID LICENSE AND FIXING A
PENALTY.____________,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD
OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY
OF ABILENE: —
Section 1. That the term “Itinerant
Vendor” as used herein, means and in-
cludes all persons, firms and corpora-
tions as well as their agents and em-
ployees who engage in "temporary’
or 'transient" business in the City of
Abilene.
The term "temporary" as used herein
includes all such persons, firms, or cor-
porations, who have no building, room,
structure or enclosure in said City of
Abilene in which to pursue their busi-
ness; or who having such building,
room, structure or enclosure and not
owning same havenot made definite
arrangements for the rental, hire or
lease thereof, for at least ninety days.
The word "transient" as used herein
means and includes all business as may
be operated or conducted by persons,
firms, or corporations, or by their agents
or employees who reside away from the
City of Abilene, or who have fixed
places of business, or have their head-
quarters’ in- places other than the City
of Abilene; or who move stocks of goods,
merchandise, or samples thereof into Abi-
lene with the purpose and intention of
removing them or the unsold portions
thereof away from the City of Abilene
before the expiration of ninety daya;
or those engaged in selling or supplying
linen services or such services as laund-
ering, washing or cleaning linens, towels,
cloths or clothes, which are laundried,
washed or cleaned at a place or places,
outside of the City of Abilene, and de-
livered for use in said City.
Section 2 It shall hereafter be un-
lawful for any itinerant vendor to sell,
offer for sale, exhibit for sale or exhibit
for the purpose of taking orders there-
for, any goods, wares, merchandise; or to
sell or supply linen services, or washing,
laundering or cleaning services in the
etty of Abilene, without first obtaining
a license therefor from the Assessor and
Collector of taxes of said city; which
shall be issued on the written aworn
application of the applicant for such
license made at least fifteen days before
As livestock numbers increase,
more end more meat will flow
through the nation's stockyards and
packing plants and out to military
forces abroad, to allied friends of
democracy and to meet expanded
consumer demand at home.
PEAK CAPACITY
While meat processing plant ca-
pacity is believed to be at a peak,
the industry, of which Chicago's
famous stockyards is the heart,
actually doesn’t know its own ca-
parity for work. However, packers
believe there will be no necessity
of any expansion of plant space
and equipment to handle the job.
except possibly what normally
would occur.
More workers are expected to be
needed. Already thousands have
been added to payrolls, many of
them women who are easily adap-
table to many of the tasks in pre-
psrstion of meat for consumption.
Swift and Co., largest unit in the
industry, has added 12,000 employes
since Nov. 1, 1940. bringing to 73,-
000 the number on its payrolls.
EMPLOYMENT OFF
For the industry as a whole the
November index of employment,
compiled by the bureau of labor
statistics, was 129 2 compared' with
116.2 a year previous. Five or six
years ago it fell below 80 The
average for 1923-25 is equal to
100 in the Index. The November
payroll index was 152.5 compared
with 118.9 a year ago.
The industry’s decentralization
process, under way for some time,
has proved a fortunate develop-
ment in the preparation for war.
packers said. Now, processing of
meat is scattered strategically
throughout the country, nearest
sources of supply, making the in-
dustry readily adaptable to emerg-
ency.
Contributions to the war effort
include specialised developments
such as longer cure of pork pro-
ducts like ham and bacon to
lengthen preservation for the army,
increased packing of boneless beef
and use of lard In vessel bottoms
as insulation for "self-refrigerated"
meats transported abroad in other
than refrigerator boats.

"If either of us turned our heads

Kahn said "When we went through

"They said there would be a

lic relations officer, have proffered

SPORTS, EDITORIAL WRITER
Major Ruggles is a veteran news-
paperman of Texas, and is widely
known among baseball fans as sta-
tistician and schedule maker for
the Texas league, a position he has
held the past 20 years. He has been
going into the army, He was with
the Amaroc News, a daily publish-
ed for troops of the army of occu-
pation in Germany. He later was
assigned to the historical Motion
of GHQ in Paris and served as
sports editor covering inter-allied
games Following these he returned
to the Rhineland and was on the
editorial staff ol The First Divi-
sion News.
Like most other officers, Rug-
gles wishes he had enough rank
for his age to permit service with
combat troops. He is happy, how-
ever. to be in uniform again and
able to contribute a material part
to the winning of another war.
"There sre s lot of Itching fin-
gers on rifles and machine-guns,"
a British officer said quietly, while
British, Australian and Indian
troops, refreshed after nearly two
months of bloody jungle fighting,
kept watch for the opening Japa-
nese attack.
Military experts expressed be-
lief that a parachute attack or
a night thrust by small crews
across the mile-wide Johore
strait would open Japan's pres-
tige offensive, regarding a sim-
ple state of siege as foreign to
Nipponese strategy.
Evidence of Increasing air strength
in the Singapore area came from a
U. S. army report that small forma-
tions of flying fortress type bombers
had raided the Japanese air fields
at Kuala Lumpur and Kuantan.
Low visibility prevented accurate
assessment of the damage. All re-
turned to their base.
