Clayton Anti-Trust Act (1914)
- constructed by President Wilson
- more detailed than the Sherman Antitrust Act
- prohibited: competitive price discrimination, exclusive dealing practice, and anti competitive mergers
- allowed: private parties to sure and union organizing
- all prices of goods of equal value and quality must be equal
- price fixing was a previous violation in the Sherman Act
- unlike the Clayton Act, the Sherman Act did not distinguish between price fixing with goods and price fixing with labor
- under the act, large mergers have to be reported to either the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission
