Clayton Antitrust Act, legislation passed by the United States Congress in 1914 to prohibit certain monopolistic practices that were then common in finance, industry, and trade (see Monopoly). Sponsored by the Alabama congressman Henry De Lamar Clayton, the Clayton Antitrust Act was adopted as an amendment to the Sherman Antitrust Act. Designed to deal with new monopolistic practices, the act contained three distinct types of provisions, covering corporate activities, remedies for reform, and labor disputes.
