Answer:

The federal government organization used to regulate railroad, telephone, and telegraph companies was the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Explanation:

The Interstate Commerce Commission was founded by the Interstate Commerce Act, a federal law of February 4, 1887. The ICC was the first independent agency at the federal level. With the approval of the United States Senate, the President of the United States appointed its members who were somewhat independent in their decisions.

The original purpose of the ICC was to regulate rail traffic (and later also truck traffic), such as ensuring fair freight rates or preventing discriminatory pricing. From 1910 to 1934 it also regulated telephone services between the states. This responsibility passed to the newly created Federal Communications Commission in 1934. Due to various deregulation measures by the US Congress in the 1970s and 1980s, the ICC lost more and more of its competencies. It was abolished in 1995. Since then, the responsibilities that have remained to it have been carried out by the Surface Transportation Board.

Opinion Question: Are the Progressive movements calls for government regulation of business justified?
pashok25 [27]

This is one of those questions that you should always qualify by stating that it is a fact specific inquiry.

Depending on the facts presented, a progressive movement's calls for government regulation may be justified if the facts presented show that the call is justified.

If business is routinely defrauding citizens and ignoring tax law, then a progressive movement is right to call for regulation.

If the regulation is poorly written, then the progressive movement should be calling for better regulation and not new regulation.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

One of the telegraphs problems is that telegraphs take time to decipher. They also always have to put in the word STOP at the end of a sentence. Making it confusing for those who don't understand. Another being that, telegraphs use morse code. Many people do not know morse code, which is why telegraph offices existed in the first place.
