Illinois Antitrust Expansion Spurs Enforcement Advances
The Illinois antitrust law strengthened in 1969 with new subpoena and testimony powers. Attorney General William Scott built a robust division led by Robert S. Atkins, launching 134 investigations and 32 lawsuits by 1971, including actions against juke box operators, junk haulers, and MAP Realty. Civil fines totaled $110,000 in 1971, boosting consumer savings and signaling aggressive enforcement against price fixing and market allocation.
