- Description:
- The document is a telegram discussing the shortage of meat locally and the lack of market for farmers to sell their cattle. It expresses concern about the economic loss to farmers and the public if the cattle are not sold and butchered. The telegram also discusses the difficulties faced by local slaughterers and producers due to federal regulations. The sender criticizes the OPA for not addressing local hardships and inequities and suggests that the bureau has bungled the works in regulating prices on various products. The sender also expresses frustration with the bureaucratic regime and the lack of consideration for individual circumstances in the distribution of food.
