Is member cannot purchase supplies
from a wholesaler who is not, and a
wholesaler cannot sell to a retailer who
refuses to join the association.
He admits having joined the associa-
ton so that he might go into business as
retail butcher. Last November he
moved his shop to another part of the
city, and on November 8, 1898, was ex-
PEELED from the association.
This was the beginning Of his troubles
He could no longer buy from members Of
the association, and they in turn would
not patronize him, and he complains as
follows:
That the association expelled plaintiff
for the alleged reason that he changed
his place of business without giving him
a trial or opportunity to deny charges,
as was his right under the rules Of the as
sociation.
THAT defendants, in pursuance and
furtherance of their unlawful agreem ent
and conspiracy to injure this plaintiff,
circulated and caused to be circulated in
the immediate vicinity of his place of
business and among his customers GER
tain circulars defamatory of the meats
and other articles handled and kept for
sale subsequent to the third day of No
Nemper, 1898, which circulars were in
tended to and did injure the business of
plalntln by inducing the public and plain
TN customers to believe that the meats
Kept for sale by him subsequent to No
yember 3 were, Unfit for human consump-
ton and would inevitably cause sickness
to any person who would eat said meats,
ana that defendants, by their said acts,
nave driven away a large number of GUS
toners from his shop and have greatly in
Jured the business and trade of plaintiff
and destroyed the goood will OF plaintiff S
business, to his damage"
He further alleges that a blacklist was
distributed among wholesalers and retail
ers of this city and Alameda County, con-
tanning his name among others, and that
the defendants have refused to buy from
or sell to, him. He. then prays for dam
ages in the sum of 500 900 and asks for
other relief. No application is made for a
restraining order. The plaintiff will be
represented in the suit by Morehouse 6,
Beggs and H. p Mathewson.
Mr.. Murphy says that he files the suit,
not so much for the purpose of receiving
an award as to put an end forever to the
"tyrannous rule of the Butchers Board
of Trade and open the markets of the city
to competition. 1t is said to be probable
that Mr.. Murphy will be joined in his suit
by other expelled members of the asso-
citation, who are anxious to see it's rule
broken.
