1Opinion of the CourtJustice Black
Respondents, electrical contractors, were employed to work on P. W. A. projects in the Pittsburgh area. Their contracts were made with local governmental units rather than with the United States government, but a substantial portion of their pay came from the United States. Charging the respondents with defrauding the United States through the device of collusive bidding on these projects,1 the petitioner, in the name of the United States and on his own behalf brought this action under § 5438 and §§ 3490-3493 (31 U. S. C. §§ 231-234) of the Revised Statutes.
