American Seeding Machine Company v. Kentucky


No. 175


Argued March 5, 1915
Decided March 15, 1915
236 U.S. 660

ERROR TO THE COURT OF APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF KENTUCKY

Syllabus

International Harvester Co. v. Kentucky, 234 U.S. 216, followed to effect that §§ 3915 and 3941, of the Kentucky Anti-Trust Statutes are invalid under the due process provision of the Fourteenth Amendment because, as construed by the Court of Appeals of that state, they offer no standard of conduct that it is possible to know.

152 Ky. 589 reversed.

The facts, which involve the constitutionality under the Fourteenth Amendment of certain provisions of the Antitrust Act of the State of Kentucky, are stated in the opinion.
