Montana Milk Law Price Fixing Struck Down by Judge
Judge John B. McClernan ruled that sections of the Montana Milk Control law governing retail and wholesale price fixing are unconstitutional in a case brought by the Milk Control Board against Kessler Dairy of Bozeman. The decision leaves intact the board’s authority over distributor to producer pricing while signaling possible legislative action to resolve the broader powers. The ruling followed a suit charging Kessler Dairy with selling milk in Butte below board orders, where retail prices were set at 25 cents per quart and 49 cents for two quarts.
