• Unable to maintain their government-granted monopoly, the powerful railroad
  interests turned to government to do the regulating and price-fixing which they
  were unable to do themselves. In fact, the pressure that induced Congress to

  abuses by the powerful railroad interests; it came from the railroad interests
  themselves, asking Congress to shield them against the harsh winds of
  competition.
