Sherman Antitrust Act Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914
It was not an association but an act, it was the Clayton antitrust act that made monopolies illegal, the boardgame too, just kidding on the board game part.
Clayton antitrust act
The Clayton Act exempted labor unions from mergers and monopolies so boycotts, strikes and picketing can be used for labor disputes.
Federal regulations aimed at controlling monopolies, cartels, and trusts primarily involved the enforcement of antitrust laws, such as the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914. These laws prohibited practices that restrained trade or commerce, such as price-fixing and monopolistic behavior. Regulatory agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ), were empowered to investigate and enforce compliance, dismantling or penalizing companies that engaged in anti-competitive practices. This framework was designed to promote fair competition and protect consumers from the adverse effects of monopolistic control.

Antitrust or Antitrust Laws
The Interstate Commerce Commission was to monitor railroad operations. The Sherman Antitrust Act was to break up bad trusts that were affecting the economy. But, it was ineffective because there was no definition as to what a trust or bad trust was. So it was later replaced witht eh Clayton Antitrust Act.
Pretty much all progressives sought action to control monopolies. Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft stand out as the two glaring examples of progressives who took action to control monopolies.
Monopolies is the plural form monopoly. A monopoly is when a person or company has complete control of a supply or trade in a market.
A corporation that gains complete control of a product or service is often referred to as a monopoly. In this scenario, the corporation dominates the market, eliminates competition, and can set prices without regard to market forces. This control can lead to reduced innovation and higher prices for consumers, as there are no alternative options available. Monopolies can arise through various means, including mergers, acquisitions, or by establishing significant barriers to entry for other competitors.
Federal legislation passed in 1890 prohibiting "monopolies or attempts to monopolize" and "contracts, combinations, or conspiracies in restraint of trade" in interstate and foreign commerce. The major purpose of the Sherman Antitrust Act was to prohibit monopolies and sustain competition so as to protect companies from each other and to protect consumers from unfair business practices. The act was supplemented by the clayton antitrust act in 1914. Both acts are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Attorney General's office.
