Court Reverses Landis Ruling In Oil Trust Case
Prosecution won a first trial in 1907, Judge Landis imposed a $29 million fine, then appellate reversal led to a second trial starting February 23 before Judge Anderson. Key issue centers on whether an 18 cent rate from Whiting Indiana to East St Louis was lawful under Illinois classifications issued in 1899. The state plans to seek dismissal of the writ of error once Supreme Court notice arrives, challenging the federal question and the constitutionality of anti trust laws.
