of a railroad walkout loomed as another menace to the productivity of the united states following the collapse of negotiations between the carriers and the brotherhood of locomotive engineers and brotherhood of railroad trainmen union heads announced strike plans unless the companies resumed parleys over their demands to negotiate the difference between the 16 cents an hour wage increase awarded by a presidential fact finding board and the 25 per cent wage increase they seek declaring that in some instances the increase awarded would amount to 13 cents an hour and in others 18 cents the union heads said they would insist upon the adoption of their demands regardless of who runs the railroads thus indicating they might balk at government operation era tion meanwhile federal

packers with a sufficient run of stock in the next 90 days observers waited to see how effective of slaughter quotas ar and id a attack upon the black market would be in remedying short supplies declaring that the big companies could not obtain enough cattle at ceiling prices because smaller operators have bid up the market for available stock anderson said the government was giving meat control its final test though packers were convinced slaughter quotas would not furnish sufficient relief anderson said they had proven effective before and along with a tighter clamp on the black market might route adequate supplies to established companies in discussing the meat situation with anderson during hearings of the senate banking committee on extension of OPA senator barkley dem ky

production of meat animals in n 1945 totaled billion pounds about 16 billion pounds smaller than the output in 1944 and around 6 billion pounds below the high record in 1943 production of cattle set a new record and that for hogs was the fourth largest but raising of sheep and lambs was below average the 1945 total production was 20 per cent above the 10 year average and 49 per cent above the 6 year 1909 14 average gross income from meat animals in 1945 amounted to million dollars nearly equalling the record return in 1943 and million dollars higher than in 1944 though sales in pounds fell about 5 per cent short of the record volume in 1944 a higher average price more than offset the effects of that reduction upon income compared with the 1934 43 average gross income was up about per cent and compared with the 1909 14 average it was up per cent gross income from cattle and calves was the largest on record from sheep the second largest and from hogs the third largest in addition to the estimated income from the sale of meat animals livestock producers received subsidies w which h ic h according to reports to production and marketing administration through december 31 1945

of milking age achieved in this country present indications are that cash receipts from farm in 1946 may total about million dollars or only a little less than the preliminary total of million dollars in 1945 it if government payments are included the current estimate would amount to about million dollars 10 per cent higher than the forecast made last fall this estimate assumes a winter wheat crop as indicated in the april I 1 issue of the crop production report and average yields for other crops income from livestock and products was million dollars 9 per cent above february 1945 with

declines in cotton and tobacco based on preliminary estimates total cash receipts from farm for march amounted to around 1320 million dollars a little lower than in february and also a little lower than march 1945 cash receipts from crops showed a greater decline from february than did livestock and products reflecting seasonal declines in most crop groups increases in dairy products poultry and
