It is the "Clayton Act".

Clayton Antitrust Act which was passed in 1914 by the United States Congress as a revision to clear up and supplement the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act. It was drafted by Henry De Lamar Clayton. The Clayton Antitrust Act was the reason for a considerable number of vital suits against vast organizations.
