Claims General Immunity Endangers Chicago Rebates Case
Paget al to The Wannamton Fost Chicago Oct 3 Wholesale immunity from government prosecution for rebate violations may shield the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company from federal action over secret rates charged by President James A. Moffett of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Railroad attorneys say the immunity covers the $22,240,000 Standard Office case and all other rebate matters. It is believed the Alton will escape further prosecution through this legal technicality. No indictments are to be brought by the special Federal grand jury, which will report to Judge Landis tomorrow, closing the proceedings for the present.
