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...:)

Sherman Anti-trust laws/act
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act that was passed in 1890.
It was too broad and didn't define restraint of trade or monopoly. After the passage of the Sherman Anti-trust act in 1890, trusts like the Standard Oil Co. just reorganized the trust into an enormous holding company (owned a controlling share of the stock of one or more companies or firms---versus literally owning other businesses.) It did break up a few monopolies, but it really wasn't until 1914 with the passing of the Clayton Anti-trust Act and the creation of the Federal Trade Commission that anti-trust measures really made an impact on monopolies.

Anti-Trust Law and Competition Law. Specifically the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
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.

Benjamin Harrison - US President from March 4, 1889 - March 4, 1893
The original role of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was to primarily curb the power of labor unions. It was to restore competition. No, it was created by Congress so that they could regulate interstate commerce.
