Ice Trust sued over monopoly in New York ice market
Albany New York December 20 Attorney General Julius Meyer filed a suit in the New York Supreme Court to dissolve the American Ice company charging a monopoly of natural and artificial ice. The complaint details control of Maine ice fields and the Ice Bridges in New York that allowed price fixing and inflated costs to independents and push cart dealers. It alleges agreements with rivals to bar competition and cites a 1905 1906 season with high profits and dividends amid an artificial shortage narrative.
