Trust Fines Voided In Ind Rail Case At Chicago
The Appellate Court reversed and remanded the government v Standard Oil Company of Indiana in a case where Judge Landis imposed a $29,240,000 fine. The panel, including Judges Seaman and Baker, debated whether a shipper can be convicted for accepting a published rate concession without proof of intent. The court questioned testimony about an 18 cent rate and whether each carload at a 6 cent rate was a separate offense, noting settlements with the railroad would cap fines between $36,000 and $720,000 rather than the alleged $223,000 in aggrevates. The government has 30 days to petition for rehearing.
