Excerpt from Trusts and Industrial Combinations, Vol. 2: Statutes and Decisions of Federal State, and Territorial Law, Together With a Digest of Corporation Laws Applicable to Large Industrial Combinations, Of the Commission's ReportsTwenty-seven of the States and Territories have passed statutes with the intention of defining monopoly more closely in order to meet modern conditions, and to prevent the forma tion of monopolies by fit regulations and penalties. Fifteen States have articles in their constitutions tending to the same end, though four of these have passed no laws on the subject. Besides these restrictions, the Congress passed the antitrust act of 1890, applying to interstate commerce, and in the inter state-commerce act itself has likewise forbidden restraint of trade. The periods when the greatest activity in legislation is found are about 1890, soon after the report of the Bacon committee of Congress and the investigations of New York and Canada, and in the years 1897 and 1899, in connection with the late rapid movement toward consolidation in industries.In this volume have been brought together the laws of Congress and of all the States and Territories on this subject that are now in force. In several of the States successive and amendatory acts have been passed in. Different years. The intention has been to print here all that have not been repealed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
