Supreme Court limits farm marketing act exemptions in milk price case
The Supreme Court ruled that farm marketing act exemptions require the agriculture secretary to have a hand in the process. It held that a Chicago milk price conspiracy involving farmers, distributors, and city officials falls outside the exemption unless the secretary's controlling role is shown. The decision leaves Attorney General Thurman Arnold to prove a broader conspiracy beyond mere producer organization. The ruling also targets building rackets, accusing labor unions and contractors of bid pooling to keep prices high and boost union-only dealings, and prompts suits to curb such restraints on trade.
