Jury verdict in Burlington rebate case hits packing firms
Kansas City June 18. The rebate case against Armour Swift Cudahy and Nelson Morris Packing Co. went to the jury and found all defendants guilty. The court postponed sentencing while railway defendants are tried. Defense argued lack of jurisdiction and legality of contracts amid tariff conflicts with Burlington. Judge McPherson charged that intent must be shown, stating recovery of unlawful concessions requires knowledge of rates.

Railways Now On Trial Over Unlawful Rebate Case
The Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad faces trial for alleged rebates on export shipments to Armour Swift Cudahy and Nelson Morrin. The case, joined with a parallel Packers matter, centers on a secret through rate of about 46 cents from Kansas City to foreign points and whether it was published. Judge Spencer argues the contract was valid but not published, while the prosecution asserts rebates violated law. Roosevelt is reported unchanged, with only a slim chance of recovery.
