Drug trust suit seeks injunction against manufacturers and traders
United States moves under Moody to restrain what it calls a drug trust. The complaint names the Proprietary Association of America the National Wholesale Druggists Association and the National Association of Retail Druggists alleging a conspiracy to fix and enforce high prices for proprietary medicines through retailer membership and aggressive cut limits. The case cites similar prior actions and argues the three bodies control pricing across the nation through member agreements and penalties for undercutting prices.
