Reciprocity And The Federal Antitrust Laws, Bernard E. Harvith Apr 1965

Reciprocity And The Federal Antitrust Laws, Bernard E. Harvith

Washington Law Review

The Jones Chemical Company is considering its next purchase of the cardboard barrels in which it packages much of its output. The salesman from Smith Paper Products suggests that his firm be given preference, since it purchases large quantities of chemicals from Jones. He even hints that those purchases will be increased if Jones will make the "right" decision in regard to its orders. This prediction proves to be correct, after Jones purchases its barrels from Smith. These firms are engaging in a common business practice which has come to be called "reciprocity." This modern industrial version of the ancient …


The Antimonopoly Law Of Japan And Its Enforcement, Michiko Ariga, Luvern V. Rieke Aug 1964

The Antimonopoly Law Of Japan And Its Enforcement, Michiko Ariga, Luvern V. Rieke

Washington Law Review

The Antimonopoly Law of Japan became effective in July 1947, less than two decades ago. The act was extravagantly endorsed by the U.S. occupation forces as a charter for the economic future of Japan. It was indeed a significant undertaking, designed to implant democratic practices where none had existed before, and it required basic, almost revolutionary, changes in the economic structure of the nation. Equally important was the circumstance that this law was neither sought nor desired by the Japanese. It was imposed upon a defeated people, a device entirely alien to the history and culture of those who were …


Washington Legislation—1961; Antitrust: The Washington Antitrust Laws, Julian C. Dewell, Wayne Gittinger Sep 1961

Washington Legislation—1961; Antitrust: The Washington Antitrust Laws, Julian C. Dewell, Wayne Gittinger

Washington Law Review

The following articles, the work of the faculty of the School of Law, the Attorney General, two members of the Washington Bar and a student, constitute the first academic comment on the laws of 1961. For obvious reasons, these articles are not represented to the reader as a complete survey of the legislative session. Rather, they are a compilation of comments on acts which the writers have found to be important, timely, or merely interesting. The Antitrust section considers the Consumer Protection Act of 1961 and its impact on Washington antitrust law.

The Use Of Survey Evidence In Antitrust Proceedings, William N. Early Nov 1958

The Use Of Survey Evidence In Antitrust Proceedings, William N. Early

Washington Law Review

However, the enforcement agencies have discovered an evidentiary shortcut about which the average antitrust practitioner knows little or nothing. It is with this evidentiary shortcut—survey evidence—that this article deals.


The New Interstate Conspiracy Doctrine, Warren Chan Aug 1950

The New Interstate Conspiracy Doctrine, Warren Chan

Washington Law Review

In F.T.C. v. Cement Institute the United States Supreme Court, reversing the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, upheld a Federal Trade Commission cease and desist order against the maintenance of an industry-wide multiple basing point system for fixing the delivered price of cement.' The grounds. for the order and the holding were (1) that the use of the system was an unfair method of competition in violation of section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and (2) that the method of pricing resulted in systematic price discriminations between different purchasers of cement of like quality and grade, …


Resale Price Maintenance In Washington, Dale M. Green Aug 1950

Resale Price Maintenance In Washington, Dale M. Green

Washington Law Review

The social and economic desirability of resale price maintenance contracts or agreements has been debated pro and con. Today most of the states, including Washington, have adopted fair trade laws recognizing and conditioning the legality of such agreements. The purpose of this article is not to analyze the economic aspects and effects of these agreements but rather to present: (1) a brief survey of the early judicial attitudes toward resale price agreements as developed in the federal and state courts; (2) the effect of the Miller-Tydings Amendment to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act on such agreements; (3) the content of the …


Legal Problems Relating To The Opa, Ben C. Duniway Apr 1944

Legal Problems Relating To The Opa, Ben C. Duniway

Washington Law Review

The title of this paper is "Legal Problems Relating to the OPA." [Office of Price Administration] Like most such titles, it was suggested before this paper was written. I then had in mind discussing certain contested issues which were of interest to me as an OPA lawyer, and which I assumed might also be of interest to you. However, as I began the review of statutes, orders, and decisions necessary for background, I became convinced that probably most practicing attorneys, busy as they must be with a multitude of matters unrelated to OPA, would find a collation and discussion of …


Labor Activities And Anti-Monopoly Legislation, Robert A. Purdue Nov 1942

Labor Activities And Anti-Monopoly Legislation, Robert A. Purdue

Washington Law Review

The uproar of the ancient market place was the symbol of competition until contemporary times. Each purchase or barter was a thing of its own; each buyer was to be treated according to "what this part of the traffic will bear"; each seller was to be heckled until the price would be cut no lower. Although "survival of the fittest" was the keyword, by and large the majority survived. Contrary to popular opinion, however, history has numerous examples of ancient and semi-modern attempts to control some of the unwanted effects of the competitive system. Furthermore, while early civilizations may have …
