Monroe Area Cheese Price Under Probe
The federal trade commission has begun action against six corporations over alleged price fixing of foreign cheeses in the Monroe Wisconsin area. The lineup includes National Dairy Products, Kraft Phenix Cheese, Badger Brodhead, the Borden Company, J. B. Hoffman & Co., and Triangle Cheese. FTC claims monthly meetings since 1938 set prices and movement to warehouses, aiming to control national cheese prices and curb competition. Wisconsin produces two thirds of Swiss cheese in the U.S., with about 90 percent of state output in Green, Lafayette, Dane, and Iowa counties.

Wylie Warns Violators As State Code Law Defended
Fred M. Wylie, examiner for the fair trade practices division, pledged the state code law is constitutional and warned violators that lawsuits would be lodged. He cited seven suits in two Fox River Valley counties and told about 300 tradesmen that attempts to undermine the codes would fail. A Madison official noted only a small opposition, while a separate circuit court suit challenged the law’s constitutionality as applied to cosmeticians led by Edgar Perry.
