The Elkins Act, passed in 1903, made it illegal for railroad companies to use rebates as a way to control prices. This legislation aimed to ensure fair competition by allowing the Interstate Commerce Commission to impose penalties on unfair practices. It was part of the broader Progressive Era reforms seeking to regulate monopolistic behaviors in various industries.
