4--The Berkshire County Wednrsd.rt, Sept. 25, 1946 Hospital Meat Situation Here Reported 'Very Acute 9 'Just Getting Along' on Limited Supply, Officials Say--Restaurants And Hotels Hard Hit by Shortage (From Saturday's Eagle) Losa! hospitals today reported their meat situation as "very acute" and said they were "just getting along" on the poultry, canned meat, fish and what little fresh meat wholesalers can provide for them. Elsewhere in New England, hospitals were preparing to take emergency measures, and several demanded federal and slate action after suppliers advised them ttiere was no immediate prospect of improvement. The Massachusetts State Hospital Assoc.ation called a conference for Tuesday at the Beth Israel Hospital to plan emergency U. S.

Beet May Close Other consumers locally are faring just as badly. Edmond W. Uhlig of the U. S. Beef Corporation said this morning there is a chance his company may close foi the time being.

"If we can't buy livestock--and there's none in the market at reasonable prices-there's nothing we can do," he said. The local Armour office reported a little poultry; some lamb came into the city, it was said, but they received none. The New England Cold Storage Company said that the supply ol meat stored with them a month ago by local restaurants and hotels has dwindled 50 per cent by withdrawals. They estimated that 60 per cent of what is left is poultry One local retailer, the Grand Union Company, had a little bed and other meat on hand today- enough to take care of some of the regular customers. And that supply was due only to the fact a the company has its own slaughterhouse which is approved in this state.

Wholesale meat distributors in Albany held out little hope of any improvement. Meanwhile, the Albany district office of OPA put 24 investigators the field to keep a close check on slaughterhouses to keep meat out of the black market. Coal Mines Close The meat shortage resulted today in the closing of Virgin.a coal mines when meat-hungry miners refused to dig. In other developments, black market activities were leportod increasing at Detroit, Baltimore and elsewhere. In the coal mine shutdown, George H.

Essor, president of tlif Virginia Coal Operators Association, said the miners quit work Tuesday because they could get no meat.
