Labor Law-Constitutional Law-Due Process Of Law-State Power To Enjoin Peaceful Picketing, L. B. Lea S.Ed. Jun 1949

Labor Law-Constitutional Law-Due Process Of Law-State Power To Enjoin Peaceful Picketing, L. B. Lea S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff was a wholesale ice distributor, selling ice to independent contractors. Defendants were members and officers of a union which represented many of the truck drivers employed by these peddlers. In carrying out a scheme to unionize all peddlers, defendants attempted to obtain plaintiff's agreement not to sell ice to non-union peddlers. Such an agreement would violate the state anti-trust law. On plaintiff's refusal, defendants peacefully picketed its plant. Plaintiff immediately suffered an 85% loss of business, and the state court granted it an injunction against the picketing. On appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, held, …

I shall assume that the scope of legally permissible action is that envisaged in the statement which the Federal Trade Commission issued to its staff and released to the public last October 12.

Trade Regulation-State Fair Trade Acts And Supplementary Federal Legislation, Earl R. Boonstra Apr 1949

Trade Regulation-State Fair Trade Acts And Supplementary Federal Legislation, Earl R. Boonstra

Michigan Law Review

The state Fair Trade Acts and the federal Miller-Tydings Act were enacted for the avowed purpose of exempting vertical price fixing contracts from the federal and state anti-trust laws. This legislation followed several court decisions which had declared resale price maintenance agreements unlawful trade restraints. The first Fair Trade Act was enacted by California in 1931, and by 1941 all but four jurisdictions had passed similar legislation. In 1936, the United States Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the California and Illinois acts on the broadest of grounds; and while the Miller-Tydings Act has not been passed upon, its constitutionality …
