Monopoly Action Charged In Major Dairy Antitrust Suit
The Justice Department filed its third antitrust suit against Mid-America Dairymen Inc in Kansas City alleging illegal monopolistic practices across a 10 state area. The suit claims the cooperative shut off competition by pressuring members, discouraging haulers, and flooding the market to depress rivals’ prices. It notes a $427,000 campaign contribution to Nixon’s re election raised by the firms and seeks a court order to end the alleged monopolistic conduct. Special: Springfield Missouri coop is also targeted in related actions.

Inflation Leveling Off Predicted For 1974
Washington AP Herbert Stein of the Presidents Council on Economic Advisers said inflation will stay high in early 1974 then ease to about 4.5 percent in the second half. He conceded forecasters erred in predicting 3 percent for 1973, noting food problems and an oil embargo. He warned energy shortages create uncertainty but emphasized keeping unemployment low. He did not forecast first-half inflation, citing that official projections align roughly with private forecasts.
