June 4, 1954307 N.Y. 229
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgments enjoining nonsigners from selling goods below fair‑trade prices, holding that the Feld‑Crawford Fair Trade Law is constitutional under the State Constitution, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Commerce Clause, especially in light of the federal Maguire Act. The court rejected delegation, due‑process, equal‑protection, and commerce‑clause challenges and affirmed that the statute applies to interstate commerce without needing re‑enactment.
