COOP. LAW DECISION
is MISREPRESENTED
Farm Bureau Corrects Misinfor.
nation Spread Regarding Ell
feet Of Judge Bechhoefers
Ruling.

Reports reaching the offices of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, in ever increasing num-
bers, indicate that considerable
misinformation exists as to the
status of the Minnesota Coopera-
tive law, and the bearing which
the recent ruling by Judge Bech-
hoefer in the case of Louis
Schwartz VS.. various cooperatlves,
has upon it.
The persistence with which in
correct versions creep into the
country press indicates that some
one is actively interested in dis
seminating it; and for that rea-
son it appears wise and necessary
to bring before the public the ac-
tual facts in the matter. There
fore the Information Department
of the Farm Bureau furnishes
herewith the exact sense of the
ruling, in terms not couched in
legal phraseology but in words
that common people can not fail
to fully understand.
The court holds that the COOP
erative associations are in every
respect valid; that their member
ship contracts are legal and en-
forceable and that if a dealer,
knowing that a producer is a
member of a cooperative associa-
ton and under exclusive contract
to it, solicits and attempts to in
duce the member to violate his
contract with the association, the
dealer may be prosecuted under
the act and the association may
recover from him $4,000 for each
such act which results in a breach
of the contract by the member.
The court also holds that a dealer
may purchase from a member
who comes to the dealer without
solicitation or as a result of gen.
eral advertising by the dealer
without subjecting the dealer to
the penalties of the act but that
the member will be subject to all
the damage clauses of his con-
tract for such conduct. Absolute
ly no other point is decided and
even as to this, the court says it
is in doubt as to the correct rul-
ing. Whether the court be right
or wrong, its holding is of little
practical Importance.
The decision either expressly
affirms or else fails to rule upon
these propositions, concerning
which there can now be no doubt:
/. The membership contracts
are valid and can be enforced in
every way against a member.
2. Dealers can be prosecuted
criminally for knowingly indu-
cling a member to breach his con-
tract.
3. Both members and dealers
can be prohibited by a court or
der from disposing of or handling
products covered by the member
ship contract contrary to the con-
tract.
4. The association can recover
from a dealer who knowingly in
duces a member to breach his
contract $4,000 for each such act
by the dealer and, in addition, the
dealer may be prosecuted in a
criminal action and fined $4,000.
5. The association can recover
the hquidated damages specified
in the membership contract from
any member who disposes of his
products contrary to the terms
of the marketing agreement.
