True
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act regulated businesses that were deemed to be anticompetitive by creating a monopoly. Some companies affected by the Sherman Act were the Northern Securities Company, Standard Oil, and the American Tobacco Company.
instead of regulating trusts, the Sherman anti trust act was often used against labor unions. the courts said union strikes blocked free trade and thus threatened competition. later on, as the reform sprit spread, the courts began to use the Sherman act against monopolies........... i got this strait from the book... i know its right...:)
The aim of the Sherman Act of 1890 (Sherman Anti-Trust Act) was to prevent and to break up large groups of corporations (trusts) that monopolized an area of commerce, and thereby controlled the prices and operations of an industry (such as railroads, steel, or oil). Trusts eliminated the competition that would normally act to keep prices at a free market level.
The Sherman Antitrust act was set up to attempt to prevent monopolies from occurring. Of course, companies have still worked around this.
The Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914 was a strengthening of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. It allowed for the breakup of trusts rather than what the Sherman Anti-trust act was used for, which was the break up of unions.
That is the: Sherman Antitrust Act.
