The FTC order bars Salt Producers Association members from agreeing on dealer classifications for jobbers and retailers. Doremus says no such agreements existed, as members act individually. The commission allows members to set prices for their customers only if not coordinating with others. The Michigan New York Ohio and Kansas group supplies a large share of world salt.
