DUBUQUE, rh June 10 (U. P.).—8tanley E. Schibsky, Minneapolis, wrote hk management of the Caneld hotel two weeks ago for a reservation, and asked for a second-floor room because he feared being trapped in » fire. He wrote he had been in hotel fires before, and he believed a room on the second floor was safer. Accordingly, he was given a second-floor Teom, and was occupying it when the Canfield hotel fire broke aut. He died in the fames.

Lately we have been compelled to lay off many men and women who have been with us for years and whose serviceswe earnestly desire to retain. Because Armour and Company considers regular and continuous employment importantalong with earning returns on investments of owners and providing the best possible product and servicetotheconsumingpublic we regret these lay-offs. We takethismeansofexplaining to our laid-off employees and their families —and the public — the circumstances which have brought about this deplorable situation. We cannot give the usual amount of employment and the usual opportunity toearn wages primarily because the U. S. Office of Price Administration hasburdened us with regulations which make it impossible for us to buy livestock, particulary cattle, in the numbers required to utilize our plant facilities and maintain normal employment.” We say it is impossible and we have challenged OPA officials, Union leadersor any whothinkotherwise, tobuy cattle for us in any number they are able and at any price they have to pay provided only that the price be “in compliance” with OPA regulations. Thus farour challenge hasnot brought any result. It is important to note that profit or lack of profit is not the issue involved

at Packing Plant Lay-0ffs...

and the Reason why |

Black market operators who do not seem to fear viglating OPA price regulations are able to obtain cattle that we need and which we try to buy. Frequently the black market operator’s bids for the cattle are as little as 10# per cwt. over the top price we areable to bid “in compliance.” Under existing regulations when the black market bids even 10 cents per hundred weight above our compliance level, the black market gets the cattle and we cannot get them. - Until we can bid in competition with the black market we cannot restore normal operations and provide the normal number of jobs in our cattle and beef and allied departments. . And we cannot bid in competition with the black market while OPA holds us to its pricing regulations and until the law of supply and demand is permitted to operate in the nation's meat markets.

The black market will collapse when Armour and Company and other lawabiding packers are free to buy and sell on a truly competitive basis. Our abil ity to utilize by-products will permit us to pay more for cattle and sell beef for less than the black marketeers once competition is restored. The public will benefit through

restoration of competition in these several ways:

and is not the reason for our inability to buy cattle.

The OPA has set maximum permis: sible prices whichwe may pay for the various grades of cattle and we are required under threat of severe penalties which include the possibility of imprisonment, to buy within the price ranges prescribed. . ~~ When we obtain cattle within the - prescribed price ranges we are said to be “in compliance” with OPA pricing regulations. 1f we cannot buy the cattle we need within the OPA prescribed price + ganges we have to choose between . (a) Buying at prices ‘out of complisnce” and risking the severe penalties provided by OPA or m (b) Reducing our cattle and beef operations to fit the numbers we are able to obtain “in compliance.”

Being law-abiding and legitimate operators we simply are, in these circumstances, forced to reduce operations to fit the numbers we are able to obtain “in compliance.”

(1) Increased supply of meat in retail markets where consumers can obtain it at prices which they themselves determine to be fair (2) Removal of dangers growing out of insanitary conditions which frequently’accompany black market operations (3) Recovery of by-products lost in black market operations but of great importance to users of pharmaceuticals and many other beneficial products (4) Resumption of regular work schedules in departments which cannot now be operated because of OPA regulations.

We greatly regret our inability to offer regular employment to the

any valued and skilled men and

women who desire to work for us and who have worked for us but whom we are not now able to pro-

ide with work because.of conditions

beyond our control.

to -the first. floor, although upper story rooms were burned. Patrolman Is Here One of the heroes of the disaster was Patrolman Byrne O'Brien, 200-| pound army veteran who returned i recently from overseas. He was credited with saving at least 20 lives. The flames were discovered by a hotel employee when he opened the door to a small closet if back of the cocktail lounge, which had been closed for the evening and emptied of guests a short while before. William Canfield, hotel manager, said the employee ran to him to report .the fire. Canfield ran for | a fire extinguisher but when he rei turned the cocktail lounge was ablaze. He dropped the extinguisher and ran back to the desk. Rescue Efforts First When the first of nine fire engines that fought the blaze arrived at the hotel, firemen found guests waving pillowcases and screaming to attract their attention. For almost #1 hour firemen were forged to devote most of their attention to rescuing the trapped instead of fighting the fire. The tragedy bore an almost incredible similarity to the LaSalle | hotel disaster in Chicago, in which |61 persons died. Both fires were | discovered on the ground floor near {a cocktail lounge. In both, guests | tried to fight the flames with siphon bottles. Father Fatally Burned Canfield sought to rescue his | parents, but could not pry open the door to their room. Firemen {smashed it in and found the

{ father, Willlam Canfield Sr. 74 unconscious. He died en route to a hospital.

| Canfield’s mother was sitting in a puddle of water hysterically splashing it on her body, which was | burned severely. She was in criti- { cal condition. State Fire Marshal John Strohm at Des Moines, terming it the worst | hotel fire in the state's history, sent ftwo investigators here to find the |

| cause. Some Dead Tdentified The identified dead include: William Canfield Sr., 75, owner of

Baldwin, L. sl.
