Judge Landis rules on Standard Oil indictments in 1903 case
In Chicago on January 3 Judge Landis dismissed eight counts as technical defects but sustained the demurrer on two indictments against Standard Oil. The court held the Elkins Act and the Hepburn Law constraints applied to published rates and interline shipments, clarifying that carriers and shippers must adhere to published rates and that indirect methods to obtain discounts could violate the law. The indictments, returned August 7, charged improper rate advantages via railroad connections before the law’s enactment.
