Meyer Nussbaum (LOC)

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    AKA Myer Nussbaum; referee appointed to hear testimony in the state hearings about conspiracy among New York's wholesale bakeries. Myer Nussbaum was a lawyer and a state Senator representing Albany. www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/11634-nussbaum-myer
  • Art Siegel said:
    I didn't find any sources for "Meyer" as a correct spelling, so I think we have to write this off to a mistake by the Bain captioner. Nussbaum (a Republican who had also been a judge in Albany as well an Assemblyman before serving as state Senator 1895-8) was the first Jewish graduate (1877) of Albany Law School. issuu.com/albanylaw/docs/albany_law_diversity_bro_11_fina...
  • Jeff said:
    Thanks. We'll submit this for a correction to the catalog record for Myer Nussbaum.

Jeff Lasher (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Jefferson Lasher, a driver for the Ward Baking Co., had a sudden memory lapse while testifying at a state hearing about conspiracy (price fixing) among New York's wholesale bakeries.
  • Art Siegel said:
    It must have been a cold hearing room. Everyone looks bundled up.
  • Art Siegel said:
    Lasher was brought in by process servers at 4:15 p.m. on February 17th, 1915 and tried to slip out. However, the referee had him chased down and returned. At issue was whether he insisted that the stores he delivered to raise the price of a loaf from 5 to 6 cents. He did testify that his boss had told him to do so. select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10916FF395C1373...

Bread Inquiry, N.Y., 2/16/15 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Art Siegel said:
    One of several state, federal and local inquiries triggered by the rapid rise in wheat and bread prices in early 1915: "STATE TO EXPOSE BREAD CONSPIRACY; Attorney General Asks Leiter and Patten to Testify at Inquiry to be Held Here. The State inquiry to determine whether the increased prices of bread, flour and wheat have been due to criminal conspiracy, will be begun on Tuesday [2/16/15] at the office of the Attorney General at 299 Broadway, this city. Attorney General E.E. Woodbury announced yesterday that Justice Rudd of the Supreme Court in Albany County had appointed ex-Senator Myer Nussbaum as referee to take testimony. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E02EFD6113EE733A...
