MORGAN V. UNITED STATES (I)
298 U.S. 468 (1936)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a consolidated action to restrain enforcement of an order
fixing maximum rates to be charged by market agencies for buying and selling livestock.
FACTS: Ps were seeking to restrain the Secretary of Agriculture from fixing the maximum
rates to be charged by market agencies for buying and selling livestock at the Kansas City
Stock Yards. Ps alleged that the Secretary without warrant of law delegated to Acting
Secretaries, the determination of issues with respect to the reasonableness of the rates
involved. They also alleged that when the Secretary signed the orders they had not
personally heard or read any evidence presented at the hearings and had not considered oral
arguments or briefs submitted but that the Secretary reached his decision by solely
consulting with employees in the Department of Agriculture. The district court struck these
allegations from the complaints of P, as they could not state a claim on which relief could
be granted. Ps appealed.
