The adamson act, which legislated working hours and pay in the railroad industry, was significant because? a. it limited railroad workers' right to go on strike. b. it set the minimum age for railroad workers at 14. c. it blazed a trail for similar policies in other industries

The correct answer is C. It blazed a trail for similar policies in other industries. Basically, what happened was that since people now saw that it was possible for the railroad industry, there was no valid reason to not introduce similar policies in all other industries, and that's exactly what happened in the time period after it.
