TEMPORARY WITHDRAWAL OP
ALL RESTRICTIONS ON THE
USE OP MEAT AND PORK
EXCEPT BEEFLESS AND
PORKLESS TUESDAYS
***********
• Owing to transportation shortage
arising so largtly from weather con
ditions, and the scarcity of ocean
transportation to handle foreign
shipments, a temporary surplus of
marketable live stock has arisen in
the United States. To hold this
over until later in season would
cause unnecessary sacrifice of corn
much of which has already been
used in fattening cattle because of
inability to market corn due to said
weather conditions; therefore, the
United States Food Administration
authorizes the withdrawal of all re
strictions on the use of ment and
pork, except beefless and porkless
Tuesday, until futher notice. It is
urged that during this temporay re
duction of meat restrictions the pub
lic will usj meat products to offset
the consumption of wheat products,
as there is greater necessity for con
servation of wheat than ever. If
1918 Home Card not yet distributed
I suggest printing or writing in left
hand margin as follows “Tempor
arily food administration asks you to
observe bcefless and porkless Tues
day only; omit meatless meals and
porklcss Saturday”. Please give
widest publicity.
Respectfully,
ROYAL A. GUNNISON,
Federal Food Administrator
for Alaska.

HEALTH INSURANCE
ADVANCED DY
ORGANIZED LABOR
- i
NEW YORK, Mar. G. (By mail) —
“Health- insurance- must now be
reckoned with as a war time demand
of organized labor,” says a statement
issued today t>y the American Asso
ciation for Labor Legislation. "By
giving first place to such a measure
in its immediate legislative program
the State Federation, of Labor in
New York—the largest industrial
state— has indicated the lines along
which health insurance for wag«
earners will make most rapid pro
gress among the states.”
Labor federations in many other
states, notably California, Wisconsin
and New Jersey, according to the
statement, have also taken advanced
favorable action on the proposal for
sickness and maternity benefits for
the working millions and for the
prevention of avoidable illness.
“The bill just adopted by the Fed
eration of Labor in New York and
the Illuminating report by Its com
mittee on health," the Association
declares, “embody the well tecsted'
principles which practical experience
among our allies nas proved to be
necessary. The insurance is made
to cover all employees, the employ
ers and workers to contribute eqally
to the cost and share eqally in the
management of the mutual sick
funds, under the general supervision
of the state. Special maternity j
care fo" wives of insured workmen
and for working mothers is provid- j
ed. The active cooperation of or
ganized labor, upon definite and
feasible proposals, will influence
largely the course of health insur
ance legislation in the United States
as the next step following work- j
men’s compensation for the pro-!
tection of the industrial population
against evils which accompany sick- i
ness disability.’
