The Present Status Of The Sherman Act, Robert W. Harbeson Dec 1940

The Present Status Of The Sherman Act, Robert W. Harbeson

Michigan Law Review

Two circumstances may be advanced by way of justification for the present addition to the voluminous literature dealing with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. First, the Supreme Court has in recent months handed down two decisions involving the application of the Sherman Act to the oil industry, which are of great importance both because of their sweeping application to marketing practices in that industry and because of the directness with which they raise certain issues of economic theory and policy. Second, the fiftieth anniversary of the Sherman Act on July 2, 1940 provides an appropriate occasion for a review of the …


Trade Restraints - Due Process - Interference With Liberty To Fix Sale Price Of Gasoline, Michigan Law Review Jun 1940

Trade Restraints - Due Process - Interference With Liberty To Fix Sale Price Of Gasoline, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In 1925 the state of Iowa enacted a statute requiring all distributors of gasoline in the state, wholesale or retail, to post in plain sight the price at which they intended to sell their gasoline, setting out all taxes thereon. They were then bound to sell at this price to all buyers. Defendant was such a dealer, and although he posted the price, he failed to abide by it as to all sales and was charged with violating the statute. The lower court sustained defendant's demurrers, holding the statute unconstitutional as a denial of due process and equal protection of …

Unfair Competition - Truthful Disparagement Of A Trader's Reputation, W. Wallace Kent

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued for treble damages under the Anti-Trust Act, alleging that the defendants had conspired and combined to drive him out of the securities business. Plaintiff alleged that to accomplish their purpose the defendants published statements as to plaintiff's "criminal record." The facts are not clear, but it appears from the report that the crimes in question were committed twenty years previously, during plaintiff's youth. The trial court instructed the jury that "if that information was true [as to plaintiff's criminal record], the Better Business Bureau, regardless of its purpose in disseminating the information, would not be liable, is not …

Michigan Law Review

Defendant operated an independent gasoline station. He gave to each cash customer purchasing five gallons of gasoline at the generally prevailing prices a drinking glass worth less than five cents. For this act he was charged with violating a statute prohibiting the giving away of any commodity for the purpose of promoting the sale of any other commodity. Defendant moved that the information be quashed and a verdict be directed of not guilty on the ground that the statute was unconstitutional. From an order denying the motion and finding him guilty, defendant appeals. Held, that the giving of a …

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, owning a patent on a process involving the use of unpatented lecithin in the production of chocolate, assured potential users that the process might be employed by them in the manufacture of chocolate on condition that all lecithin so used be purchased exclusively from plaintiff.

Plaintiff brought suit for an injunction restraining infringement. Defendant, in counterclaiming for an injunction against future suits, in effect asked the court to hold that the implied license under which it …

Unfair Competition - Trade Marks And Trade Names -Nature Of Relief Against The Use Of A Misleading Trade Name Which Has Acquired A Secondary Meaning, Harold M. Street

The petitioner, a Pennsylvania manufacturer of cigars which contained only Pennsylvania tobacco, but which it had branded "Havana Smokers" since 1902, was ordered by the Federal Trade Commission to cease and desist from using the word "Havana" to designate its product. The petitioner claimed that the brand had acquired a secondary meaning and asked the court to modify the order to permit retention of the word "Havana" qualified by the legend: "Notice. These cigars are made in the United States and only of United States tobacco." Held, the name so used might result in misrepresentation and its use must …

Trade Restraints-Fair Trade Acts - Use Of Trading Stamps, William L. Howland

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff filed a bill in equity to restrain by injunction an alleged violation of the Pennsylvania Fair Trade Act. The violation charged was the issuance by the defendant retailer of yellow trading stamps, when requested, on all purchases of merchandise, including trade-marked articles manufactured by the plaintiff in relation to which, as the defendant well knew, the plaintiff had made contracts fixing the resale price. The chancellor dismissed the bill. Held, judgment affirmed. The issuance of the trading stamps was not a violation of the Fair Trade Act. Even assuming that it was a violation, the invasion was …

Some Problems In The Enforcement Of The Antitrust Laws, Wendell Berge

Michigan Law Review

There has been much discussion through the years about the evils of monopoly, monopolistic practices, and unreasonable restraints of trade. We have always paid lip service to the ideal of free competition. But we have done little in this country to cope with these evils. We have done little to make our competitive ideal effective.
