§522 Monopolies or restraints of trade; service of 

 ■ complaint by Secretary of the Interior; hearing; 

 order to cease and desist; jurisdiction of district 

 court. 



If the Secretary of the Interior shall have reason to 

 believe that any such association monopolizes or 

 restrains trade in Interstate or foreign commerce to 

 such an extent that the price of any aquatic product 

 Is unduly enhanced by reason thereof, he shall serve 

 upon such association a complaint stating his charge 

 in that respect, to which complaint shall be attached, 

 or contained therein, a notice of hearing, specifying a 

 day and olace not less than thirty days after the 

 service thereof, requiring the association to show 

 cause why an order should not be made directing it 

 to cease and desist from monopolization or restraint 

 of trade. An association so complamed of may at the 

 time and place so fixed show cause why such order 

 should not be entered. The evidence given on such a 



hearing shall be taken under such rules and regula- 

 tions as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe, 

 reduced to writing, and made a part of the record 

 therein. If upon such hearing the Secretary of the 

 Interior shall be of the opinion that such association 

 monopolizes or restrains trade in interstate or foreign 

 commerce to such an extent that the price of any 

 aquatic product is unduly enhanced thereby, he shall 

 issue and cause to be served upon the association an 

 order reciting the facts found by him. directing such 

 association to cease and desist from monopolization 

 or restraint of trade. On the request of such associa- 

 tion or if such association fails or neglects for thirty 

 days to obey such order, the Secretary of the Interior 

 shall file in the district court in the judicial district 

 in which such association has its principal place of 

 business a certified copy of the order and of all the 

 records in the proceedings, together with a petition 

 asking that the order be enforced, and shall give 

 notice to the Attorney General and to said associa- 

 tion of such filing. Such district court shall there- 

 upon have jurisdiction to enter a decree affirming, 

 modifying, or setting aside said order, or enter such 

 other decree as the court may deem equitable, and 

 may make rules as to pleadings and proceedings to 

 be had in considering such order. The place of trial 

 may, for cause or by consent of parties, be changed 

 as in other causes. 



The facts found by the Secretary of the Interior 

 and recited or set forth in said order shall be prima 

 facie evidence of such facts, but either party may 

 adduce additional evidence. The Department of 

 Justice shall have charge of the enforcement of such 

 order. After the order is .<o filed in such district 

 court and while pending for review therein, the court 

 may issue a temporary writ of injunction forbidding 

 such association from violating such order or any 

 part thereof. The court shall, upon conclusion of 

 its hearing, enforce its decree by a permanent In- 

 junction or other appropriate remedy. Service of 

 such complaint and of all notices may be made upon 

 such association by service upon any officer, or agent 

 thereof, engaged in carrying on its business, or on 

 any attorney authorized to appear in such proceed- 

 ing for such association and such service shall be 

 binding upon such association, the officers and mem- 

 bers thereof. (June 25. 1934. ch. 742. § 2. 48 Stat.
