The great fine was imposed By

the court had found the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, branch of the
Trust, guilty of rebating on 1852
counts. The minimum fine in each
count was $1,000 and the maximum
$4,000. Judge Lands gave the Oil

In the opinion of corporation law

Judge Grosscup is the worst blow to
