The Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914, passed by W. Wilson, prohibits exclusive sales contracts, local price cutting to freeze out competitors, rebates, interlocking directorates in corporations capitalized at $1 million, and inter-corporate stock holding. It also restricted the use of the injuction against labor, and it legalized peaceful strikes, picketing, and boycotts. Later amendments to the act strengthened its provisions against unfair price cutting (1936) and inter-corporate stock holdings (1950).
