Constitutional Law - Price Fixing - Limits Of Administrative Discretion
Constitutional Law - Price Fixing - Limits Of Administrative Discretion
Michigan Law Review
An order of the New York Milk Control Board prescribed a minimum selling price to be charged by wholesale dealers to their customers and also a minimum buying price to be paid by the dealers to producers. Competition fixed the minimum selling price as the maximum obtainable. Plaintiff, a wholesale dealer, could not operate at a profit and sued to enjoin enforcement of the order as arbitrary and hence violative of due process. Held, that upon these facts only, with nothing to show that efficient dealers could not operate profitably, the price limits were not arbitrary. Hegeman Farms Corp. …
Unfair Competition -- Appropriation Of Good Will By A Non-Competitor -- Literary Property
Unfair Competition -- Appropriation Of Good Will By A Non-Competitor -- Literary Property
Michigan Law Review
The Texas Co. and the National Broadcasting Co. sought to enjoin the unauthorized publication and sale by the Uproar Co. of a pamphlet containing the subject-matter of Ed Wynn's advertising program, broadcast under the auspices of the Texas Co. The name "Graham," which was associated with the announcer Graham McNamee and had acquired a secondary meaning in connection with the N. B. C., appeared frequently in the pamphlet. The court found that the Texas Co. had the sole right under a contract with Wynn to the use of Wynn's script, that the N. B. C. had the exclusive right under …
Constitutional Law -Validity Of State Recovery Acts Adopting Federal Codes, Paul G. Kauper
Constitutional Law -Validity Of State Recovery Acts Adopting Federal Codes, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
Among the interesting problems raised by the enactment of state recovery legislation is the problem growing out of the attempted adoption by the states of the codes of fair competition formulated under the authority of the National Industrial Recovery Act. The validity of such state legislation may be questioned in light of the familiar doctrine of non-delegability of legislative power - a doctrine that has been written into the constitutions of both the federal and state governments by judicial determination. Before considering the application of this doctrine to the problem at hand, it will be well to refer to two …

Are Unfair Methods Of Competition Actionable At The Suit Of A Competitor?, Grover C. Grismore
Are Unfair Methods Of Competition Actionable At The Suit Of A Competitor?, Grover C. Grismore
Michigan Law Review
The steps which have recently been taken, both through federal and state legislation, to regulate trade practices by outlawing what have been denominated "unfair methods of competition" have brought to the fore a problem that has vexed lawyers and legal writers for a long time. The question is whether a competitor who has been injured as a result of a rival's use of one of the condemned methods of competition can maintain any action either at law or in equity against the wrongdoer. Contrary to what has always been the practice in drafting so-called "anti-trust" laws, the legislation dealing with …

Federal Trade Commission-Recent Trends In Interpretation Of The Federal Trade Commission Act
Federal Trade Commission-Recent Trends In Interpretation Of The Federal Trade Commission Act
Michigan Law Review
The Federal Trade Commission has never been a favored child of the courts. Beginning with the first case to which the Commission was a party, the attitude of the judiciary has clearly been unfriendly. The Commission gets its powers from the Clayton Act and from the Federal Trade Commission Act. The courts have interpreted the Clayton Act strictly, and there is no sign of a change of heart by the majority of the Supreme Court in that respect; it is believed, however, that a few of the recent cases under the Federal Trade Commission Act, both in the Supreme Court …

The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934, John E. Tracy, Alfred Brunson Macchesney
Michigan Law Review
The Congress has enacted and the President has just signed an act for the regulation of stock exchanges, to be known as the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In order that we may understand the nature of the Act and the reasons for its enactment, it will be well first to consider briefly the organization and functions of stock exchanges, the evils that are claimed to have arisen from their existence, and some of the previous attempts which have been made to prevent the occurrence of such evils.
Constitutional Law-Price-Fixing - Changing Attitudes
Constitutional Law-Price-Fixing - Changing Attitudes
Michigan Law Review
The urgent need for rebuilding and readjusting our economic system has forced the various governments to devise methods by which to achieve those ends. The legislative enactments resulting from the efforts to bring about a "recovery" are destined to be challenged on the due process ground. The public is keenly concerned not alone in the practicality of the methods selected, but in their constitutionality as well. The recent case of Nebbia v. People is not only of interest to the lawyer; it was accepted as "good copy" in leading lay publications. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of one Nebbia, …
The Evolution And Devolution Of Public Utility Law, Edwin C. Goddard
The Evolution And Devolution Of Public Utility Law, Edwin C. Goddard
Michigan Law Review
As long ago as 1873, and very likely even earlier, courts were speaking of the public utility in the sense of the public convenience or advantage, a New Jersey court saying, "these prerogatives (of railway corporations) are grants from the government, and public utility is the consideration for them." This has been often quoted by other courts, notably by your Judge Atherton in the famous case of Scofield v. Railway in 1885. But the term "public utility'' as applied to plants or corporations rendering a public service is very new. It is not to be found in the 1904 edition …
Constitutional Law-Right To Competition
Constitutional Law-Right To Competition
Michigan Law Review
The appellee was engaged in the business of selling natural gas. A rival utility entered the field duplicating the plant and facilities of the appellee and established with the consent of the Public Service Commission a rate lower than the prevailing rate charged by the appellee. In an attempt to retain its customers against the lower prices of its competitor the appellee lowered its rate several times. The appellants finally ordered the appellee to submit evidence as to the reasonableness of its rates. Upon investigation the Public Service Commission found that the business in the territory was capable of supporting …

Trade Restraints - Covenants Restricting Owner's Use Of His Premises
Trade Restraints - Covenants Restricting Owner's Use Of His Premises
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs and defendant were competing theatre proprietors, owning buildings on opposite sides of the street in X city. For a monetary consideration defendant covenanted to discontinue forever the use of his building as a public theatre. Plaintiffs sought an injunction upon defendant's breach, and defendant demurred on the ground that the covenant was in restraint of trade and not ancillary to any property interest conveyed and requiring protection. Held, injunction granted, for in Ohio a contract in reasonable restraint of trade is enforceable though not incidental to some other independent contract or conveyance; and, if such transaction is necessary, …
Trade Restraints - Inducing Breach Of Contract
Trade Restraints - Inducing Breach Of Contract
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff had "exclusive requirement" contracts with 90% of the users of electricity in various communities in Texas. Defendant was in the business of selling municipal electric plants to communities under a plan whereby, on assurance that enough users would enter into exclusive contracts to make the plant a success, the defendant agreed to look for payment to the revenue of the plant only. Installation of a municipal plant would, therefore, necessitate breaches of the "exclusive requirement" contracts on the part of some of plaintiff's customers. Held, that plaintiff was not entitled to an. injunction restraining defendant from inducing plaintiff's …
Constitutional Law - Price Fixing - Emergency Legislation, Maurice S. Culp
Constitutional Law - Price Fixing - Emergency Legislation, Maurice S. Culp
Michigan Law Review
The way of governmental price regulation has been hard, and such regulation has been carefully confined to businesses clothed with a "public interest." An exception has been recognized where an "emergency" occurs in a business outside of the strict utility field. However, the apparent disruption of the competitive system during the present depression has been productive of legislation seeking to overcome the evils of that system. In People v. Nebbia, the Court of Appeals of New York sustained a recent act of the legislature creating a milk control Board and authorizing the fixing of milk prices for a 12-month …
Federal Anti-Trust Law And The National Industrial Recovery Act, Howard E. Wahrenbrock
Federal Anti-Trust Law And The National Industrial Recovery Act, Howard E. Wahrenbrock
Michigan Law Review
The economic struggle for existence - the competitive system - which has been principally depended upon to equate the production and consumption of economic goods, is not self-sustaining. Extreme forms of that struggle - engrossing, forestalling, regrating, contracts in restraint of trade, monopoly, unfair competition, to mention some forms at the higher stages of legal development - have had to be restrained by law. Their restriction has been called for to protect the poor and economically weak from oppression by the rich and economically powerful; under a system of complete laissez faire, competition would bring about the elimination of the …
Federal Trade Commission - False And Misleading Advertising
Federal Trade Commission - False And Misleading Advertising
Michigan Law Review
The law provided neither practical remedies nor suitable means of preventing false and misleading advertising before the passage of the Federal Trade Commission Act in 1914. The doctrine of caveat emptor had long prevented the effectual protection of misled customers and of competitors consequently injured. True, competitors could enjoin or recover damages-for injury by misleading advertising which took the form of common law "unfair competition." The courts had found no great difficulty in extending established common law principles to make unlawful such obvious violations of the proprietary rights of particular competitors as "simulation" and "disparagement." Although there is little question …
Trade Restraints -- Anti-Trust Laws -- Common Selling Agency
Trade Restraints -- Anti-Trust Laws -- Common Selling Agency
Michigan Law Review
Many students of the decisions under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act have voiced the opinion that the Supreme Court has been using one measuring stick to determine the legality of a combination of competing industrial units which takes the form of a merger or consolidation with highly centralized management and control of all activities, and quite a different stick for judging a combination formed for the purpose of stabilizing prices and production through cooperation in one form or another between competing units which retain their independence so far as management and control of production and financing are concerned. Thus in the …
Corporations - New Types Of Securities Under Blue Sky Legislation
Corporations - New Types Of Securities Under Blue Sky Legislation
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff company, in order to secure capital to finance the purchase and construction of retail gasoline stations and bulk plants in Wisconsin, proposed to sell coupon books for the sum of $35 per book. Purchases made with these coupons entitled the holder of the book to certain credits which, upon accumulation, were to be redistributed to him in cash upon presentation of coupons in the amount of 25 cents or more. Along with each coupon book there was to be issued to each purchaser a so-called good-will contract which, after stating its purpose as being to secure the good …
Contracts - Partial Illegality - Contract In Restraint Of Trade
Contracts - Partial Illegality - Contract In Restraint Of Trade
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff contracted to transfer his law business, property used in connection therewith, and good will to the defendant and to refrain from practicing law within the state until the time set for payment of the balance of the contract price. The balance not having been paid at maturity, the plaintiff brought an action on the contract, alleging full performance on his part. The defendant demurred on the ground that the contract constituted an illegal restraint of trade under Oklahoma statutes which declare that agreements in restraint of trade upon selling the good will of a business are void to …
Trade Restraints - Resale Price Maintenance
Trade Restraints - Resale Price Maintenance
Michigan Law Review
Petition to review an order of the Federal Trade Commission requiring the petitioner to cease and desist certain trade methods found to be unfair. Held, that while the petitioner had a right to refuse to sell goods to those who did not sell them at the suggested resale prices, with the further right to state to them its reasons for so doing, the petitioner was rightly ordered to desist from requiring dealers, placing orders, to give assurance that they would be governed by the suggested resale prices as a condition precedent to the acceptance of the orders.

Contracts - Illegality- General Restraint Of Trade
Michigan Law Review
Defendants sold their stock in a manufacturing corporation with a covenant in the contract to the effect that they would not engage in the sale or manufacture of bunghole appliances in the United States, east of the Mississippi, for a period of sixteen years. Held, a contract which does not permit one to engage in his trade anywhere within the state is one in general restraint of trade and is ipso facto illegal and void. Parish et al. v. Schwartz et al. (Ill. 1931) 176 N.E. 757.

Cooperative Associations And The Public, John Hanna
Cooperative Associations And The Public, John Hanna
Michigan Law Review
The American Institute of Cooperation at its first summer meeting in Philadelphia in 1925, devoted many hours to a consideration of the definition of agricultural cooperation. Even at that time cooperative associations had been described, if not defined, by federal legislation. The Bureau of Internal Revenue, the War Finance Corporation and the Intermediate Credit Banks, had also been compelled on numerous occasions to decide whether or not a particular association was entitled to the privileges accorded cooperatives. A determination of the nature of a cooperative was implied in the standard marketing acts adopted in nearly all of the American states. …

Intercorporate Stockholding Under Section 7 Of The Clayton Act
Intercorporate Stockholding Under Section 7 Of The Clayton Act
Michigan Law Review
It is notorious that the Clayton Act was passed in response to misguided popular agitation based upon erroneous notions as to the scope and effect of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, and in fulfilment of, campaign promises voiced not only by Wilson, but embodied in the platforms of all three political parties in 1912.

Forestalling, Regrating And Engrossing, Wendell Herbruck
Forestalling, Regrating And Engrossing, Wendell Herbruck
Michigan Law Review
The earliest attempts in English Law to regulate trade are to be found in the enactments against forestalling, regrating and engrossing and in them, it has been asserted, is the basis of our modern legislation against monopolies and combinations in restraint of trade. Aside, however, from the mention that is occasionally made of these crimes in connection with the history of the laws of trade, the words as a part of legal terminology are almost obsolete, although the word "forestalling" is used to define a crime punishable under the laws of Ohio and doubtless is to be found in other …
