Descrizione:
This Act is a U.S. federal law that gave the Interstate Commerce Commission the power to set maximum railroad rates and extend its jurisdiction. Therefore, there was a discontinuation of free passes to loyal shippers. Roosevelt came up with this act. It gave the Commission power to inspect railroad companies' records, set maximum rates, and outlaw free passes, which were often used to influence politicians. These regulations that were set created many controversies.
