New York Milk Strike Intensifies as Bootleggers Targeted
Investigators led by Mayor Wagner mobilized 200 inspectors to curb bootleg milk in New York City during the 10th day of a milk strike. Eight stores, seven in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn, were named for selling milk at 35 to 50 cents a quart, with no city law banning price gouging but seizures possible for milk brought in without inspection. Negotiations were set to resume at 9 am with milk dealers and 10,000 Teamster deliverymen and drivers involved.
