Gerry Wallace Takes Aim at a Beef Quarter
Custom Slaughtering Keeps Beef in Stores
Many Lawrence grocery stores have turned to custom slaughtering their own meat to keep their meat counters stocked, even at the risk of losing money.
Most of the large grocery stores in Lawrence, which are parts of chains or franches, buy cattle from ranchers and have the cattle slaughtered.
Gerry Wallace, assistant market manager at Dillons' 6th and Michigan St. store, said yesterday that the Dillon stores were buying beef directly from stockmen because none is available from packing houses.
One large grocery store in Lawrence said that it loses money on the meat it sells because of the cost of custom slaughtering. It must pay the rancher, shipping service and slaughterhouse costs and still sell the meat under the price ceiling.
Stores not associated with a chain however, don't have the money to slaughter their own beef and must rely on a small and sporadic supply from packing houses.
Turner's Grocery, 700 Maine St., an independent store, had no meat yesterday, but the butchers said they were hopeful they could be able to obtain meat by the weekend.
They said they thought they weren't losing much business by not having beef. They said they thought people weren't willing to pay the prices, even when stores could obtain it.
freeze Sep. 17. It could be as much as two weeks after the end of the freeze, however, before the quantities of meat beginning in from the slaughterhouses, they said.
Most grocers agreed that the price of beef would go up drastically after the end of the
Some butchers predicted that although beef prices would increase drastically, they would drop to where they are now or lower by winter.
Prices on many products other than beef have decreased in the last week. 'the average price of chicken was nearly 15 cents a pound lower, and a dozen eggs cost an average of seven cents less than they did last week.
The end of the beef shortage is in sight, according to Lawrence grocers, but beef will be much more expensive, although more plentiful, by mid-September.
Gas Supply Sufficient But More Expensive
Lawrence and the University of Kansas should have enough natural gas for their needs this year, but it will cost more for them to have it, W. C. Salome, vice president and general manager of the Kansas Public Service Gas Co., said yesterday.
Less than a one-cent increase for 1,000 square feet of natural gas went into effect Thursday and another 7 cent increase is anticipated for Jan. 23, 1974. Salame said.
The increases are a result of rising wholesale prices that the company must pay to its supplier, the Cities Service Gas Co.
Salome estimated that Thursday's increase would mean an additional 20 to 30 percent.
No action has been taken yet by Supt. Wallace Galluzzi of Haskell Indian Junior College on a precomplaint charging Haskell with unfair labor practices, according to James Luther, president of the local union filing the precomplaint.
Labor Charge Gets No Action From Haskell
The precomplaint was filed on August 23 by the local union of the National Federation of Federal Employees. The union is charging Haskell with discrimination against the 'faculty' of vocational and technical fields in granting promotions.
Luther said Galluzi had 30 days to answer or rectify the situation. After this time the union could file a charge with the Department of Labor.
About 25 faculty members in the vocational and technical fields are involved, said Luther, an auto mechanics training instructor at Haskell.
Promotions have been given to faculty in other fields, he said, but not to vocational colleges.
apartment. The January price hike could add as much as $1.15 to the cost of heating oil or natural gas.
"The last promotion we got was in April 1971," Luther said. "This is very unusual. It wasn't the first."
He said that the company had asked its commercial customers to cut their normal gas consumption for August by 10 per cent to increase winter reserves.
KU is among the company's largest customers but has not been included in the list.
in the university had been included in the cutback, air conditioning in all residence halls would have had to be turned off. Bob was the accountant for the KU dorm system said.
Candin said he was awaiting notification from the gas company concerning the damage.
The University has a 12 to 15 day reserve supply of fuel oil and has ordered an additional 200,000 gallons to meet any shortage of gas during the winter.
The University used fuel oil for 13 days last winter and Ousada said he anticipated it would not be expensive.
