The defendants did not deny the boycott, but claimed that the public could still buy the same goods at many other San Francisco stores. The District Court thereupon concluded that the suit was a "purely private quarrel." Flatly rejecting the argument, the Supreme Court said the conspiracy against Klor's was a full-fledged illegal restraint of trade.
