Senate bill targets proper scope of Sherman restraint
Wisconsin Senator LaFollette introduces a bill to define reasonable restraint of trade under the Sherman act. The measure places burden on the proponent of reasonableness and cites prohibitions on price discrimination, buyer boycott, and unfair competition. Senator Pomerené cites Harmon’s prosecutions and argues for broader antitrust action, while Owens and LaFollette decry court overreach and predict limited action this session. Empty seats in the chamber prompt LaFollette to recall past warnings on reform.
