General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. A business of publishing and circulating farm journals, which involves shipment of substantial quantities of the papers to other States, and also the obtaining of advertising essential to the business from customers in other States and the transportation between customers and publishers over state lines of electrotypes used in setting up the advertisements, involves interstate commerce.

2. To constitute a combination to restrain or monopolize a business in interstate commerce within the meaning of §§ 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, it is not necessary that the restraint or monopoly should affect all of the business of the kind throughout the country; it may relate to such part of it as is carried on in a particular section of the country. Pp. 277-278.
3. The Court will not search the record for grounds to sustain a judgment where the ground upon which it was based proves untenable and none other is suggested by respondent. P. 281.
70 F.2d 3 reversed.
