Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
The federal law gave the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) the power to set maximum railroad rates and extended its jurisdiction which led to the discontinuation of free passes to loyal shippers.
The ICC could view the financial records of the railroads' which was simplified by standardized bookkeeping systems. The outcome of the law could apply to any railroad that resisted and the ICC's conditions would remain in effect. The ICC's jurisdiction was extended to the following:
- bridges
- terminals
- ferries
- railroad sleeping cars
- express companies and oil pipelines.
