Clayton Antitrust Act. Clayton Antitrust Act, 1914, passed by the U.S. Congress as an amendment to clarify and supplement the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890.The Clayton Anti-trust Act made monopolies basing their price on consumers illegal because it stated that businesses and corporations could no longer have different prices for different consumers. Compared to the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, the Clayton Anti-Trust Act was more powerful and was able to put down many more trusts and monopolies than the Sherman Anti-Trust Act did. It also states that a company can't offer a sale or price deduction if a company buys from them instead of a competitor. Finally the Clayton Anti-Trust Act regulates the sale of stocks imposing limits on how much stock a company can have of a competitor or another company. 
The Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 established the Federal Trade Commission. The Act, signed into law by Woodrow Wilson in 1913, outlaws unfair methods of competition and outlaws unfair acts or practices that affect commerce. This further carries out the central ideas that the clayton antitrust act held.
