DuBose, Natalie N.
- Abstract
The article discusses a court case wherein the plaintiffs, owners of forty-nine travel agencies, filed a complaint against the defendant airlines for violating the sec. 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The plaintiffs accused United Airlines Inc. for illegally agreeing to cap, cut and eliminate base its commissions. The Six Circuit held that the decision of the airline company to maintain its zero-percent-commission policy after emerging from bankruptcy did not violate the antitrust law.
