Union Pacific fined for grain elevator rebates
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled Union Pacific paid rebates to Peavey Elevator Company, finding the extra cent per hundred pounds over the base rate to be an unlawful discrimination. The railroad must cut the allowance to a half cent per hundred pounds by June 1, 1907, with dissenting opinions from Commissioners Clements and Lane.
