No Hope Of Collecting Big Fine
Tent. Nov. 15. The United States indictment against Standard Oil of Indiana on the Grand Junction concession charge sought up to 30,084,000 in penalties but Judge McCall ruled that under the Elkinns anti rebate law a settlement, not a shipment, constitutes an offense. The case totals 1,424 counts tied to shipments from Whiting to Southeast points. maximum possible penalty if convicted on all counts would be 920,000 with 20,000 per offense and 100 minimum. The ruling drastically reduces the monetary feature and affects the charges.
