The plaintiff, a seller of milk, had for ten years bid on contracts to supply milk to the defendant school district and had supplied milk to other school districts in the area.

On June 15, the plaintiff contracted to supply the defendant's requirements of milk for the next school year, at a price of $0.0759 per half-pint. The price of raw milk delivered from the farm had for years been controlled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

On June 15, the department's administrator for the New York/New Jersey area had mandated a price for raw milk of $8.03 per hundredweight. By December, the mandated price had been raised to $9.31 per hundredweight, an increase of nearly 20 percent.

If required to complete deliveries at the contract price, the plaintiff would lose $7,350.55 on its contract with the defendant and would face similar losses on contracts with two other school districts.
