NORTHCOTT, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
The effect of the agreement made in Chicago was, under the pleadings, to modify the original agreement, at least to the extent of the number of refrigerators which the defendant agreed to purchase and the plaintiff agreed to sell. The failure of the plaintiff to give the 30-day notice expressly required by the original agreement brings this case squarely within the rule laid down by this court in Chevrolet Motor Co. v. Gladding (C.C.A.) 42 F.(2d) 440. The Chicago agreement set up in defendant’s plea affected the business for the ensuing year and for that period waived the cancellation clause in the original agreement. When litigants are seeking to enforce contracts of this character, they should he held to the strictest accountability by courts of justice.
The action of the court below should be reversed.
