LEAHY, Chief Judge.

These cases were tried by juries. The juries were unable to reach verdicts and were discharged. During trial, defendants' motions for directed verdicts were denied. Defendants now move under F.R. 50(b), 28 U.S.C., for judgments in accordance with their motions for directed verdicts. Similar motions were filed by plaintiffs but were later withdrawn. The history of this litigation may be found in the note.1
