The Florists^ Review 



Sdptbmbbb 4, 1919. 



there was no violation of either the 

 Clayton act or the Sherman act, it is 

 considered of greater importance than 

 the recent Colgate case, which involved 

 only the Sherman act. The Cudahy case 

 is the first in which the manufacturer 

 has been upheld in a suit for damages 

 brought by a price-cutter. 



In his opinion, Judge Woods said: 

 "The vital question is whether defend- 

 ant's method of business coupled with 

 the acquiescence of its customers there- 

 in by observing its requests or demands 

 to maintain prices was such coopera- 

 tion between seller and purchasers as 

 amounted to a combination in restraint 

 of trade within the rule laid down in 

 Dr. Miles Medical Co. vs. Park & Sons 

 Co., 220 U. S. 373, and other following 

 cases. We are obliged to hold that the 

 question has been clearly answered in 

 the negative by the Supreme Court in 

 United States of America vs. Colgate & 

 Co., decided June 2, 1919. The court 

 expressly held that the announcement 

 in advance that customers were ex- 

 pected to charge a price fixed by the 

 seller, and that the penalty for refusal 

 to maintain prices would be refusal to 

 sell to the offending customer, observ- 

 ance of the request to maintain prices 

 by customers generally, and the actual 

 enforcement of the penalty by refusal 

 to sell to such customers as failed to 

 maintain the price did not constitute a 

 violation of the trust statute. Nothing 

 more was done by the defendant and its 

 customers in this case. 



"Since the defendant, under the Col- 

 gate case, merely exercised the right 

 reserved by the Clayton act to dealers of 

 'selecting their own customers in bona 

 fide transactions and not in restraint of 

 trade,' the plaintiff cannot recover un- 

 der its charge of unlawful discrimina- 

 tion in price."
