District Court, D. Minnesota September 9, 1971, 6-69-Civ-139 (United States v. Otter Tail Power Company)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

DEVITT, Chief Judge.

In this action brought under Section 2 of the Sherman Act the basic issue is whether the acts of Otter Tail Power Company, a Minnesota public utility, in refusing to sell electric power at wholesale, and refusing to wheel electric power to municipalities it formerly served at retail, constitute a monopolization of commerce in violation of the Act.
