Morgan; U.S. v.

Facts

This case originated eleven years ago as a result of proceedings begun in April 1930 under the Packers and Stockyards Act. The Secretary of Agriculture issued an order in June 1933 setting maximum rates for market agencies at the Kansas City Stockyards. The market agencies brought suit to set aside this order, leading to a series of court decisions regarding the validity of the Secretary's order and the distribution of impounded funds. After several appeals and procedural developments, the Secretary reopened the original proceedings to determine reasonable rates during the impounding period, which led to the current dispute over the distribution of funds.
