Milk producers near Troy ended a sympathetic strike by resuming milk deliveries to Union Dairy Company at Troy and to other yards at $1.50 per hundred pounds for closer markets and $1.40 elsewhere. The walkout, prompted by transport costs to St Louis, disrupted about 20,000 gallons daily. many herds were sold or disposed of while several dairies agreed to the higher rate. Shipping patterns and regional prices stabilized as shipments to St Louis resumed.
