Government Wins Rebates Case Against Great Northern
The Supreme Court upholds a $15,000 fine on the Great Northern Railway for giving rebates to the WD Devreap company and a $10,000 fine on the Burlington for similar practices. The ruling argues the Hilins law repeal does not bar existing penalties or enforcement in such rebates cases and strengthens federal action against railroad discrimination. The decision cites numerous similar prosecutions and reflects broader moves to curb rebate schemes in the railroad industry.
