Milk Trusts Milk The Public Again
Investigation Commissioner John M. Murtagh accuses Borden's and Shefield's of monopolistic practices in New York milk, claiming homogenized milk yields about 13 million dollars in extra annual profit. He notes a $5,500 homogenizing machine produces 64,000 quarts daily, with a penny premium paying for itself in eight and a half days.
