Milk boycott yields mixed signals amid consumer call
The consumer coalition urged shoppers to buy powdered milk during a Sunday start boycott while Woodward reported sales of fluid milk remained steady and powdered milk sales showed no surge. Roy Alper, CA group member, warned the boycott’s full effect takes time and drew a parallel to last year’s meat boycott as prices eventually fell. A federal judge ordered an indefinite delay in a Ralph Nader suit linked to Nixon’s 1971 milk price rise, with lawyers told to move to dismiss within 10 days.
