Hartford Court To Hear Landmark Sherman Case In October
An early October assignment for trial in the United States circuit court before Judge James P. Platt will hear one of the nation's most important cases under the Sherman anti trust law involving boycott claims by Dietrich E B Loewe and Martin Puchs against Martin Lawler and 239 Hatters Union members. The matter, filed in 1903, has traversed demurrers and appeals to the Supreme Court, which ruled on boycott law and left the case ready for trial. Expected to draw labor leaders nationwide, the trial could last eight to twelve weeks and focus on what union members may or may not do in boycott actions. Local advertising promotes Foley's Kidney Remedy as a health product, unrelated to the legal matter.
