In the united states, the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914,was enacted to remedy deficiencies in antitrust law created under the sherman anti-trust act of 1890, the first Federal law outlawing practices harmful to consumers (monopolies and anti-competitive agreements). Passed during the Wilson's administration, the legislation was introduced by Alabama Democrat Henry De Lamar Clayton. This act made sure to show that all had discriminatory effects. If they did not follow these rules, a fine would be issued for five thousand dollars and any damages a customer suffers must be covered for their attorney as well as suit. People have the right to sue and file claims in their jurisdiction but these anti-trust acts cannot be applicable to labor organizations. This act lastly states that no one person can obtain any part of the stock or share capital from a business, unless the stock is purchased for investment, and many courts have pledged to prevent any violations of the workable Clayton Anti-Trust Act
