Judge Kohlsaat rules against Munsey rail ad deal in Chicago
In Chicago on July 15 Judge Kohlsaat rendered a decision in the Munsey publication case with the Chicago to Munsey and the railroads seeking to bar advertising paid by rail mileage. He warned that legalizing such transactions could undermine uniform rates and cash value concepts, noting the risk of disparate payments in ads, labor, or goods. The ruling cites the Hepburn act and calls the contract inconsistent with its spirit and will be appealed. Meanwhile engineers visit Portland harbor works and the John Mac Cracken tugboat shows a port tour of Vancouver. Portland’s dredges and drydock projects attract observers.
