The Interstate Commerce Commission was originally established to regulate railroads and insure fair rates were being charged.  

The Interstate Commerce Commission was created as one of the provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. The Interstate Commerce Act made prices to ship goods via railroads fair for all who had products to ship, so that small farmers no longer had to pay more than bigger companies.

Railroads had been giving favorable treatment and prices to major companies for shipping freight on rail lines.  The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 aimed to end such practices.  The act contained provisions such as:

... All railroads were required to set fair and reasonable shipping rates.

... Charging different rates for a similar service was declared illegal.

... Railroads could not charge more for short-haul services than a proportional rate of long-haul services on the same route.

... Railroads were forbidden from providing favorable treatment to any person or company or location.

... Railroads were required to display their rates and not charge higher than their posted rates.

What specific military tactics does Stalin suggest the Soviets use to defeat Hitler? A. Soldiers should force prisoners of war t
Leokris [45]

Answer:

B. Goods and valuable property should be moved or destroyed to prevent enemy use.

Explanation:

Initially stalin used a "Not one step back approach" meant that all positions be held at all costs which means that most of the commanding officers that have suffered defeats as Germans had advanced to subdue the Soviet Union be shot and replaced. Then, political commissars enforced the tactic that there should be no retreat from the Germans. But, Stalin soon realized that tactical retreats were necessary and He suggests that anything or property of material value to the German's be destroyed.

Stalin moved the entire factories East beyond Urals and out of reach for the Germans. This approach allowed The Soviets Union to produce military hardware like tanks, and planes at a pace which the Germans were unable to match.
