Government seeks rehearing in Standard Oil Elkins act case
The government petitions for a rehearing before the U S Court of Appeals to salvage the Elkins act and the interstate commerce law from being rendered futile in the Standard Oil Indiana case. It argues the appellate ruling misstates the record and would require knowledge of the lawful rate as a defense, risking nullification of the act and renewed railroad discrimination.
