Incidences crossing state lines become commerce when materially significant

Evidence

The Court took note of the plaintiff’s argument “that in the transportation of vaudeville acts the apparatus sometimes is more important than the performers” and concluded that the complaint, at least to that extent, sufficiently alleged a violation of the Act to permit the case to go to trial. The Court distinguished Federal Baseball on the ground that “what in general is incidental, in same instances may rise to a magnitude that requires it to be considered independently.” — Henry M. Hart, Jr. and Albert M. Sacks, The Legal Process, 2983
