BACON V. ST. PAUL UNION STOCKYARDS CO.
161 Minn. 522, 201 N.W. 326 (1924).
NATURE OF THE CASE: Bacon (P), livestock dealer, who was employed by a livestock
commission company, sought review of an order of the District Court, which sustained a
demurrer filed by St. Paul (D), stockyard company, in P's action for wrongful interference
by the stockyard with his employment.
FACTS: D maintains a livestock yard. P alleges that since the first day of August, 1918,
P has continually been employed in and about the yards of D and in and about buying, selling
and dealing in livestock therein. P was employed by the Drover Livestock Commission Company
and received a salary of $200 per month. D alleges that in 1923, D unlawfully and willfully
excluded P from its said stock yards and barred and prevented him from carrying on his
occupation and forbade anyone else to employ him for work in D's yard. P was unable to make
a living in his occupation with his current employer and the exclusion precluded his
employment by other firms. P sued D for wrongful interference with the contract relations. D
demurred and it was sustained. P appealed.
