Price Fixing Law Held Not Constitutional
Atty. Gen. Gerald C. Mann ruled the barbers price fixing bill unconstitutional. He said it unlawfully delegated to the state board of barber examiners the power to approve or disapprove agreements, granting unbridled discretion the legislature could not authorize. The act allowed the board to set county minimums after barbers sign agreements representing 85 percent of licensed barbers, with a 40 cent haircut cap.
