Rebate Decree Blocks Freight Discounts for Milwaukee Firms
United States Circuit Judge W H Seaman issued a sweeping decree in the rebate case against the Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit company and several railroads including the Pabst Brewing company. The ruling permanently restrains all parties from soliciting or accepting rebates and prevents them from offering lower rates than official tariffs in interstate commerce, with the Pabst Brewing company dismissed on its merits. The order bars any concessions or inducements that reduce rates below published tariffs.
