OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 is a United States federal law that was designed to regulate the railroad industry, particularly its monopolistic practices. The Act required that railroad rates be reasonable and just, but did not empower the government to fix specific rates. It also required that railroads publicize shipping rates and prohibited short haul/long haul fare discrimination, a form of price discrimination against smaller markets, particularly farmers. The Act created a federal regulatory agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission, which it charged with monitoring railroads to ensure that they complied with the new regulations.
