Trade Competition--Effect Of Motive Nov 1923

Trade Competition--Effect Of Motive

Michigan Law Review

Does the motive with which one enters into what is ostensibly trade competition with a business rival have any significance in the law? Motive is used, following Judge Smith's careful limitation of the term, to signify the feeling which makes the actor desire to obtain the result aimed at. A conclusion that motive is immaterial in this connection can be sustained by formal logic. A man has a "right'' to engage in business, even though his rival be injured thereby. One may exercise a legal right, regardless of his motives in doing so. Therefore, business competition, if the methods be …

Boycott--Conclusions Or Emotions May 1923

Boycott--Conclusions Or Emotions

Michigan Law Review

One fertile source of friction growing out of the eternal struggle between capital and labor is the boycott. Standing out in definite relief for scarcely more than a generation, its effectiveness has led to interminable litigation. As might be expected, the boycott pronouncements of the courts in this formative period have had to undergo the most searching challenge and scrutiny. That this scrutiny will be focused upon the results of the recent first impression case before the Iowa supreme court cannot be doubted. See Ellis v. Journeyman Barbers I. U. of America (Iowa, 1922), 191. N. W. III.

Procedure And Practice Before The Federal Trade Commission, John Leland Mechem Dec 1922

Procedure And Practice Before The Federal Trade Commission, John Leland Mechem

Michigan Law Review

The Federal Trade Commission, now in its eighth year, has successfully withstood the attacks, judicial and political, which threatened at times to destroy it, or, at least, to render it impotent. The act creating it has been held constitutional; its powers and duties have been defined; the present administration has indorsed it; and the public have come to realize its power for good. As its activities have expanded its influence has become definitely felt by the business world. The increasing interest of both business men and members of the profession warrants a brief exposition of the practice before the Commission, …

The Supreme Court's Adjudication Of Constitutional Issues In 1921-1922, Ii, Thomas Reed Powell

Michigan Law Review

Questions of discrimination in rates or services arising under the Interstate Commerce Act or some of its amendments came before the court in a number of cases without raising any direct constitutional issues. Such an issue, however, was urged against a refusal of the Interstate Commerce Commission to allow a tap line owned by a Lumber company more than $3 per car as its share of the joint rate for traffic over it and the main line, but in Louisiana & P. B. Ry. Co. v. United States the claim that this restriction was so arbitrary as to deny the …

Michigan Law Review

Carriers - Second Cummins Amendment - It was seven years after the Carmack Amendment of the Hepburn Act of i9o6 before the Supreme Court began that series of decisions, extending from Adams Express Co. v. Croninger, 226 U. S. 491 (1913), to George N. Pierce Co. v. Wells, Fargo & Co., 236 U. S. 278 (1915), which directly resulted in the First Cummins Amendment of March, 1915. One has only to read those cases, reviewed in 13 Micn. L. REv. 59o, and other notes referred to in 17 MICH. L. Rzv. 183, to see that the language of the Cummins …

Boycott - Clayton Act - In Duplex Printing Press Company v. Deering et al. (January 3, 192I) 41 S. Ct. 172, the facts were: The plaintiff, a Michigan corporation, manufactures at Battle Creek, and sells throughout the United States, especially in and around New York City, and abroad, very large, heavy and complicated newspaper printing presses. Purchasers furnish workmen, but ordinary mechanics alone are not competent to do this, and so they are supervised by specially skilled machinists furnished by plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have always operated on the "open shop" plan, without discrimination against union or non-union labor, either at …

Unfair Competition, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

In the recent case of Internationd Newes Seraice v. The Associated Press (U. S. Sup. Ct. Dec. 23, i918), suit was brought by the Associated Press to restrain the defendant from its systematic appropriation of complainant's news, first, by bribing employes; second, by inducing' Associated Press members to violate its by-laws and permit defendant to obtain news from publication; and third, by copying news from bulletin boards and from early editions of complainant's members' newspaper and selling this, bodily or after re-writing it, to defendant's customers. The question as to the right of complainant to relief against the third of …

The fight for price maintenance is not yet completely settled, despite, the decisions in Dr. Miles Medical Company v. Parks & Sons Company, 220 U. S. 373, 31 Sup. Ct. 376, 55 L. Ed. 502, and Bauer & Cie v. O'Donnell, 229 U. S. 1, 33 Sup. Ct. 616, 58 L.

The Commodity Clause Of The Hepburn Act, Edwin C. Goddard Jan 1915

The Commodity Clause Of The Hepburn Act, Edwin C. Goddard

Articles

The Supreme Court of the United States has added another to the interesting line of cases construing the so-called "Commodity Clause" of the HEPBURN ACT of 1906. In United States v. Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Co. and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Coal Co., decided on June 21, 1915, 35 Sup. Ct. 873, the court reversed the decree of the District Court as reported in 213 Fed. 240, and found the relation and contract between the Railroad Company and the Coal Company to be in violation of the HEPBURN ACT and the SHERMAN ACT.

New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge Dec 1914

New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge

Michigan Law Review

What has been said in the preceding part of this discussion addresses itself to the proposition that the SHERMAN Act does not mean what the District Court assumed it to mean. Naturally, such a negative discussion must be preliminary to a consideration of the more .comprehensive question "What does the SHERMAN ACT mean?" For, of course, even if the theory of the law upon which the District Court based its judgment was erroneous, still that fact would be of little or no practical importance if any tenable theory of the law were to justify the judgment.

Some Reflections On The Law As To Monopoly Of Trade, S S. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

Paul and the other apostles were brought before the Council of Israel for preaching the doctrines of Christ contrary to the mandates of that body. Gamaliel, a Pharisee and a doctor of the law, stood up in the Council and said: "Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought; but if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest haply …

Recent Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, George W. Wichersham Nov 1911

Recent Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, George W. Wichersham

Michigan Law Review

The only legitimate end and object of all government is the greatest good of the greatest number of the people. The means by which this end is attained vary in accordance with the experience and the temperament of the people. Government is necessarily more or less of an experiment at all times, but as men have been making similar experiments ever since the dawn of recorded history, the waste of repeating unsuccessful experiments of the past may be avoided by studying the records of the results of earlier effort; and, other things being equal, all thoughtful persons will agree, that …

New Doctrine Concerning Contracts In Restraint Of Trade, Jerome C. Knowlton Jan 1910

New Doctrine Concerning Contracts In Restraint Of Trade, Jerome C. Knowlton

Articles

Is a covenant in restraint of a particular trade and unlimited as to space against public policy and therefore void and unenforceable? Long ago an English judge, in speaking of the making of contracts, protested against arguing too strongly upon public policy. "It is a very unruly horse, and, when once you get astride it, you never know where it will carry you."1 Right he was and is, and the judge who would keep his saddle must be a good rider, for the horse shies badly on the way at every new condition in trade and commerce, occasioned by recent …

Case Of The Monopolies Some Of Its Results And Suggestions, Sydney T. Miller Nov 1907

Case Of The Monopolies Some Of Its Results And Suggestions, Sydney T. Miller

Michigan Law Review

Apparently the monopolistic idea is as old as the history of man. That great and good man, Job, may be counted as the earliest recorded "trust-buster," if we read between the lines of his story, and Solomon said, "He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it." Doubtless, by exhaustive search, we could find some record of attempts to monopolize during each century from Biblical days to the time of printing, and as surely there must have been a countermovement. But not until the last five hundred years …

Validity Of Contracts Between Corporations Having Common Directors, Harold M. Bowman Jun 1906

Validity Of Contracts Between Corporations Having Common Directors, Harold M. Bowman

Michigan Law Review

Among many who heed the results of the examinations into the methods of trust, corporation and extensive financial activities, there is a conservative belief that improvement is to be secured not by sweeping alterations in legislation, or revolutionary conversions in public opinion, but by persistent and skillful reformation of the detail of law itself. The recommendations of the Armstrong insurance committee of New York bear adequate witness to this fact. But it is interesting to note that most of the recommendations have been addressed to executive and legislative authority, not to the judiciary. This is but natural, considering the purposes …
