MILK BOTTLE USE
BY RIVAL FIRM HIT
John w. Gregg's Action De-
CIared Unfair Competition;
( Injunction Granted.

The use 10y a milk dealer Of bottles
belonging to another dealer constitutes
unfair competition" and is a viola
tion of the owners rights under his
trade mark registration and under
the registration law of the District of
Columbia, according to an opinion of
Chief Justice Mccoy in granting a
preliminary injunction against John
w. Gregg from using bottles belong
lnG to ". y. Simpson. trading as the
Walker Hill Dairy, and to The Chest
nut Farms Dairy Company.
Simpson and the Chestnut Farms
Company brought separate suits for
injunction. charging violations of the
trade mark law by Gregg in making
use of bottles on which appeared the
trade marks of the two dairies. At
1orneyS O'Brien & OBrien appeared
1Ur the plaintiffs.
In the course of his opinion render
ed in the Simpson case, Chief Justice
Mccoy says:
The contention that the defendant
Is doing his best to avoid the use of
plaintiffs bottles is not impressive in
view of tie facts alleged in the atti-
davit of Joseph VI. Freedman who
says that he called on proprietor OF a
market and endea VOred to induce him
10 buy milk from the plaintiff but was
Told that milk sold there was bought
from the defendant at less than the
price charged by the plaintiff.
AT that time there were on the
shelves OF the market Is bottles of
milk and cream bought from defend
ant. OF those IL bore the names
and marks of the plaintiff and the
only other bottle bore the name of
Il dealer not the defendant.
The affidavit of James Q. Phillips
IS to the effect that he watched the
operations Of the defendants bottle
1illinS machine and that approximate
Iy out of every bottles which
passed through it bore the names and
marks of the plaintiff and Walker
I'LL Dairy. This disposes of defend
ants contention that he has used
proper care TO avoid the use of
plaintiffs bottles
by said affidavit of Joseph W.
Freedman as stated 1t is shown that
defendant undersells plaintiff. The
reason why he can do so is obvious.
II this is not unfair competition it
would be difficult to characterize it,"
The opinion in the Chestnut Farms
Dairy case is similar.
