Under the settlement, which is subject to court approval, Dairylea reports it does not admit to any wrong doing or violations of the law, but does agree to re emphasize its continuing policy of compliance with all legal requirements, including the an titrust laws. None of the other seven milk companies charged in the Attorney General’s April 1, 1981 legal ac tions are involved in the Dairylea settlement. The remaining corporate defendents in both the criminal and civil cases are: Dellwood Foods, Gold Medal Farms, Hygrade Milk & Cream, Man chester Cream, Meadowbrook Farms, Moms Park Farms, and Puretest Milk There are also the following additional corporate defendants in the civil case: Meyer Farms, Elmhurst Dairy, Tri-Eagle Dairies, and Tip Top Farms, During his television ap pearance, Abrams stated, “The settlement which we have obtained from Dairylea Cooperative is a tremendous victory for con sumers. First of all, the speed with which this settlement was achieved is highly unusual for a complicated antitrust case, many of which take years to resolve. “Secondly, the 10 cent coupon program which we have agreed upon is a fast, practical and direct way of getting overcharges back into the pockets of consumers. Moreover, we suspect the coupon program will mduce other major milk companies, many of who are defendents in our suit, to also lower their prices in order to remain competitive. “Perhaps most important in the long run is Dauylea’s commitment to full cooperation in our and is chairman of the Vermont Equity Committee. He is serving as general chairman of the 1981 AJCG-NAJ Annual Meetmgs. Maplerow Farm has one of the top Jersey herds in the Eastern United States.

We believe that the increased access to in formation and evidence will prove critical to our efforts to clean up an industry which has been plagued by anti-competitive practices for decades.” Convention speak on ine new four source cow index recently developed by the USDA. According to Morns, there are approximately 120 entries for Thursday’s sale thus far. For the juniors, the National Association will be handing out 6 distinguished junior awards chosen from record books sub mitted two from each state par ticipating. This is Maryland’s third tune at hosting the National Convention - once in the 30’s and then again in 1964, although the meetings were actually held in Washington D.C. In response to the legal actions, Dairylea President Clyde E. Rutherford, an Otego, N.Y. dairy farmer, said, “This type of com plicated litigation could go on for years with almost incalculable costs, not only legal fees, but also the diversion of management’s tune and attention from normal business demands . . . which is totally unacceptable to Dairylea’s membership. By settling it now and spreading a specific cost over a five-year period, we have scaled a major problem down to manageable size.” The settlement, which dismisses the price fixing indictment against Dairylea and one of its employees, was reached two months after the Cooperative and the seven other milk companies and 19 employees were indicted on charges of con spiring to fix both the wholesale and retail price of milk. The indictment, which was returned by a Bronx County Grand Jury, alleges the defendants en tered into illegal agreements not to compete for each others customers and also coerced retailers into selling milk at artificially high prices. Abrams opened his investigation of price-fixing and bid-ngging in the State’s milk industry last October. Extensive technical assistance in the investigation is being provided by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, through its com miS'M mi. j Roger Bamer Photo contest (Continued from Page AI) readers, not only are top-notch, professional dairy operators, but they’re pretty good as amateur shutter bugs, too.
