Hepburn Bills To Amend Sherman Law In U S House
Washington March 3 a bill drafted by the National Civic Federation after talks with the President and business leaders aims to ease Sherman anti trust enforcement. It seeks to shield labor from Danbury hatters rulings while allowing unions to strike and employers to hire or discharge. The measure would tweak damages, require registration for both for profit and certain non profits, and let registered entities gain immunities under time limits and court oversight.
