Oklahoma Operating Co. v. State Dry Cleaners Board

1 Certain individuals doing business under trade names engaged in the cleaning, pressing and dyeing service in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, filed their application with the State Dry Cleaners Board of Oklahoma, created under Title 59 O.S. 1951 § 741 [59-741] et seq., requesting a hearing and approval of a price agreement refixing minimum prices affecting their industry. Pursuant to the requirements of the statute notice of the application and the date of hearing thereof was published by the Board. Also, notices of the application and date of hearing were mailed to all persons engaged in the industry other than those appearing upon the application. The applicants, the Oklahoma Cleaners Association, and the Oklahoma Operating Company appeared by counsel at the hearing before the Board. A number of witnesses testified in support of the application and upon such proof, supplemented by documentary evidence, the Board entered its order refixing minimum prices for cleaning, pressing and dyeing applicable to the industry in Oklahoma County, insofar as said minimum prices fixed a differential for pick-up and delivery service from that fixed for a cash and carry service.
