Ice Trust Faces Grand Jury Over Price Fix Plan
The Grand Jury heard testimony from Mr Oler and others about an uptown group of independents who allegedly agreed to raise ice prices to 50 cents for families.

The inquiry also covered related figures, plant operations, and past ice market maneuvers in New York and New Jersey.
