Beef Off
Market
Effective last Monday mea
dealers in Kodiak, following sim
jlar action in at least two othei
Alaskan towns, withdrew bee
from the market following issu
ance of new specific prices foi
the commodity set by the Office
of Price Regulation.
The three markets, Kraft’s,
Erskine’s and Loran Whitting
ton’s, announced that it was im
possible to sell beef “except at a
loss” under the OPA schedules.
A list of prices at which the beef
eould be handled in Kodiak was
drawn up by the dealers and air
mailed to Juneau, it was re
ported,
P. J. Watkinson, of the W J.
Erskine Co., appeared at the
jouncil meeting Monday night
» explain that special circum
itances in Kodiak prevented
landiing beef at prices said
tased on Department of Agri
uiture reports. The council
oted to go on record as urging
ction from the OPA to get beef
ack to consumers. A council
ommittee of James Martz. Jim
’ierce and Lee Bettinger was
opointed to meet with the
ealers before taking action. Eol
rwing the meeting Tuesday a
I wire was sent on behalf of the
council to the OPA at Juneau
urging appropriate and speedy
action on the situation for the
benefit of consumers in Kodiak.
After representations made by
the dealers to Juneau a wire was
received here to the effect that
no cooperation could be expect
ed from the OPA so long as the
boycott continued, it was re
ported this week.
