Clayton Antitrust Act
The Clayton Antitrust Act was an add on to the the Sherman Antitrust Act. It was put in place to expand further on the Sherman one. The clayton one went farther with the prohibition of trusts by stating that both horizontal and vertical integration methods were both under the trust rules therefore could be controlled by the federal governement where the Sherman one could only take control of ones that were horizontally integrated. But the main difference and reason for the add on of this act was to make it so that the Sherman Antitrust Act could not be used agains the unions. It prohibited "excessive dealings" or the "tying" of products if it lessened competition. It also made it so that one person could not be the director of more than one of competiting coorporatings.
