Description

Before: MATHEWS, HEALY and BONE, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: The complaint herein alleges a violation of Ã‚Â§ 3 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C.A. Ã‚Â§ 14) by reason of the refusal of appellee to continue business relations with appellant unless appellant would agree to deal exclusively in the product of appellee. That section of the Clayton Act makes it unlawful to enter into any lease, sale, or contract conditioned upon the lessee or purchaser not dealing in the goods of a competitor, where the effect of such lease, sale or contract may be to substantially lessen competition or create monopoly. The contract (of 1944) previously existing between the parties was, by its terms, terminable at will, and contained no provision violative of Ã‚Â§ 3 of the Clayton Act. In July, 1952, appellee terminated the contract by telegram for the reason heretofore stated, because appellant was continuing to deal in the product of a competitor of appellee.
