Seventh Circuit -- Ohio Chemical Servic v. Falconbridg

A company's agreement with a distributor that the distributor should reduce its own production levels of the material being distributed is not price fixing and therefore not a per se violation of the Sherman Act.

Trial court does not need to provide extensive reasoning for holding that antitrust case will be decided according to rule of reason rather than per se.
