Action was begun March 29, 1948 by the state making complaint that defendants combined to restrain and prevent competition in the retail price of gasoline in Milwaukee county and that their combination and conspiracy did in fact control, raise and fix such price contrary to the provisions of sec. 133.01, Stats. The complaint demanded cash forfeitures by numerous defendants, forfeiture of the corporate charter of the defendant association, and an injunction restraining these defendants and other retail dealers whom they were alleged to represent as a class from combining or conspiring to restrain trade or competition in the retail sale of gasoline in the State of Wisconsin.
