Clayton Antitrust of 1914

Adding further substance to the U.S. antitrust law this was designed to prevent anticompetitive practices in their incipiency. The law was said to stop anticompetitive practices but gave control to commissions to determine what was in the best interest of the market, which in this case, was synonymous with railroads. It also provided exemptions and remedial measures for situations deemed anticompetitive, placed in the hands of a commission.
