Federal Trade Commission v Raymond Bros.-Clark Company


No. 102


Argued November 27, 1923
Decided January 7, 1924
263 U.S. 565

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT

In the absence of any element of conspiracy, monopoly, or oppression, a wholesale dealer, in interstate commerce, has a right to stop dealing with a manufacturer if he thinks that the manufacturer is undermining his trade by selling to a competing wholesaler or to a retailer competing with his customers, and such conduct is not an unfair method of competition within the meaning of the Trade Commission Act. P. 572.

280 F. 529 affirmed.

Certiorari to a decree of the circuit court of appeals which set aside an order of the Federal Trade Commission.
