The Elkins Act of 1903 aimed to curb corporate abuses in the railroad industry by prohibiting discriminatory railroad rates and practices. It hurt corporations by imposing stricter regulations and penalties for unfair practices, such as rebates and preferential treatment. This increased operational costs and limited their ability to engage in anti-competitive behaviors. Ultimately, it pushed corporations towards more transparent and fair pricing strategies, promoting competition in the market.
