In the opinion OF the court. which

characterized cooperative marketing
as the most hopeful movement ever

unlimited power In fixing prices the
farmers are seeking to free them
selves and also among some of the
owners Of public warehouses who are
more or less allied with the big buy
ers."
Holding that the act under which
the cooperative marketing organiza-
ton functions is not unconstitutional
and that the contract between grower
members and the association is valid
and not In restraint of trade. Chief
Justice Clark held that liquidated
damages. under fire in the case could
even be collected under the law for
breach OF contract. even though 1t
had not been specified in the contract.
