Mellinger suspended for stockyards act violations
Mellinger, a Smoketown livestock dealer, was suspended as a registrant under the Packers and Stockyards Act and ordered to cease and desist from specific violations. The 20 day suspension began May 30 after an April order by Judicial Officer Thomas J. Plavin following hearings in 1961. The order requires accurate records and forbids false weights and preferential handling of livestock to gain advantage.
