Chief Justice Vinson led a majority including Douglas in ruling that such laws exist in most states, with only Vermont Texas Missouri and D C excluded. The decision centered on the Schwegmann supermarket case in New Orleans where Calvert Reserve whisky and Crown exports sold at higher prices than the state set minimum, prompting federal suits. Justice Frankfurter dissented. Justice Jackson wrote separately concurring with the majority.
