Meat price cut signals first major victory in boycott
The Grand Union Co, the nation’s 10th largest chain, cut beef pork lamb and veal prices by at least 10 cents per pound below Nixon administered ceilings. The reductions run through April and follow the nationwide meat boycott led by backers of the protest. The move did not trigger similar cuts elsewhere and a Kansas plant closure occurred amid industry pressures. In New York state officials cautioned that results of the boycott are not yet clear.
