Abstract
The early history of the Interstate Commerce Commission is usually presented as the Congressional response to the exorbitant rates and exploitation by the railroads. Later it is seen as an example of how powerful industrial interests have shaped and dominated government agencies. The results of the research in the current thesis indicates that both of these representations are gross over simplifications that require reconsideration.
