Five milk distributers from Hagerstown Maryland faced charges for violating the Philadelphia milk marketing agreement. They argued they were not subject to the pact because they did not engage in interstate commerce. The hearing before the Agricultural Adjustment Administration addressed their claim though Hagerstown lies within the Philadelphia dairy region. Counsel D Angie Wolfinger said the group lied about operations in Washington County and that some distributers produce and distribute milk entirely within the county.
