In New York on December 22 eight members of the Consolidated Milk Exchange were discharged by Judge Nott after Assistant District Attorney Weller said the group has gone out of business since February 1910 indictments. The men had posted $1000 bail each. The case stemmed from a 1909 10 inquiry into rising milk prices and the grand jury then charged the exchange with fixing prices but prosecutors now say they did not unreasonably restrain trade under Supreme Court interpretations. Jerome, former district attorney, sought dismissal but was denied.
