The Milk Monopolies and Labor Clash in Chicago
A lengthy critique notes the Milk Shippers Association Milk Dealers' Union and Milk Wagon Drivers' Union enforcing a single daily milk delivery in Chicago. Health Commissioner Reynolds warned this would raise infant mortality. Board of Health data showed deaths from convulsions and acute intestinal diseases rising 44 percent. The piece argues monopolies weaken labor solidarity and push workers to conflict across trades.
