How did the government react to discrimination in early 1900s?

The government enacted laws, such as the Jim Crow laws in the South, which institutionalized racial discrimination. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s that more significant federal action was taken to combat discrimination.

Additionally, the commission lacked sufficient resources and enforcement mechanisms to implement its regulations effectively. It wasn't until the early 1900s, with the passage of the Hepburn Act in 1906, that the ICC gained greater authority to set maximum railroad rates and enforce compliance, enhancing its effectiveness.
