it limited railroad workers right to go on strike.
it set the minimum age for railroad workers at 14.
it blazed a trail for similar policies in other industries.

Explanation:

The Adamson Act was the first federal law to regulate the working hours of employees in private companies. It established an 8 - hour workday for railroad workers, with additional pay for overtime. This act set a precedent (blazed a trail) for similar labor - related policies in other industries.

• The act did not allow workers to be paid for ten hours and work eight. It was about an 8 - hour workday.
• It was not mainly about limiting the right to strike. The main focus was on working hours and pay.
• There was no provision in the Adamson Act about setting a minimum age of 14 for railroad workers.

Answer:

it blazed a trail for similar policies in other industries.
