holding that the theft from “wooden pallets” rather than from wharf was within the statutory compass and any other interpretation would frustrate the intention of Congress | plaintiff must show “that his claimed injury stemmed directly and proximately from the same type of practice condemned in the prior Government action” | the proposed area "was a practical homogeneous territory of control, fairly encompassing the Baltimore milkshed" | normal swells from passing ship overturns precarious derrick engaged in lifting constitute peril of sea | a duty of good faith in terminating a contract with an "at will” termination clause exists only where a statute imposes that specific duty notwithstanding the clause | the proposed area “was a practical homogeneous territory of control, fairly encompassing the Baltimore milkshed” | no inconsistency in jury’s answers to interrogatories that defendant had a general monopoly in the shoe industry but not a monopoly in a particular portion of the shoe industry
