How did the Clayton antitrust act attempt to close loopholes in earlier antitrust legislation?
The Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 aimed to strengthen previous antitrust laws, particularly the Sherman Act, by addressing specific practices that were not adequately covered. It prohibited certain anti-competitive practices, such as price discrimination, exclusive dealing contracts, and mergers that could substantially lessen competition. Additionally, the Act clarified that labor unions and agricultural organizations were not considered illegal combinations, thus protecting their activities from antitrust scrutiny. Overall, it sought to provide a more comprehensive framework for regulating corporate behavior and promoting fair competition.
Does the sherman anti trust apply to unions?
The Sherman Antitrust Act primarily targets anti-competitive practices among businesses, but it also applies to labor unions in certain contexts. While unions have the right to organize and negotiate, they can face scrutiny under antitrust laws if their activities significantly restrain trade or commerce. However, the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 provides some protections for labor unions, allowing them to engage in collective bargaining without being classified as illegal combinations in restraint of trade. Thus, while the Sherman Act can apply to unions, there are specific provisions that protect their rights.

True or False According to the Clayton Antitrust Act unions were illegal organizations similar to trust?
No. The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, designed to protect society from corporate entities unfairly raising prices for consumers due to unfair competition. (Examples might include Andrew Carnegie, the Steel magnate who essentially could have set steel prices at any price he so chose, as there was no real competition to undercut his prices), was being applied to labor unions as organizations which were being said to unfairly raise the cost of labor, thus financially hurting the consumers. The Clayton Act of 1914 was passed, in part, to clarify that "the labor of a human being is not a commodity or article of commerce. Nothing contained in the antitrust laws shall be construed to forbid the existence and operations of labor [unions]... nor shall such organizations... be held or construed to be illegal combinations or conspiracies in restraint of trade." An interesting fact to be considered, a provision of the Clayton act (poor wording) gave organizations the right to seek immediate injunctions to send striking/boycotting workers back to work. Prior to Clayton, the only way an injunction could be obtained was by a District Attorney. The Clayton Act could be argued to have been more damaging to labor unions than helpful!
