Government Wins Suit Against Milwaukee Refrigerator and Railroads
The United States won a case in federal court accusing Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit, Pero Mar anetta Railroad, and several railroads of violating the Elkins anti-rebate act by paying and accepting commissions on beer shipments for the Pabst Brewing Company. The Pabst Brewing Company and the refrigerator firm’s stock relations are outlined, with the Pabst case dismissed, and the others enjoined from continuing the practice of rebates. The opinion, delivered by Judge Baker and concurred by three other judges, upholds Elkins Act provisions and notes improper tariff concessions and ownership connections.
