Taft on Antitrust Law Limits and Labor Exemption
A historical speech argues against limiting anti trust denunciation to certain restraints and opposes exempting labor unions from enforcement. It favors broad application to suppress monopolies and suggests an accusatory bureau to prosecute interstate commerce and anti trust violations. The speaker notes the need to balance enforcement with resources and hints at further discussions on resource conservation and monetary policy.
