Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Antitrust Laws, in addition to labor injunctions and yellow-dog contracts, provided a legal weapon for employers. In 1890, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act, in response to public agitation against giant business monopolies such as the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company. The act outlawed restraints of trade and monopolizing of trade. Section 1 provided for criminal penalties and fines and imprisonment for violations of the act. Other provisions of the act allowed private parties to sue for damages if they were injured by restraints of trade, and gave the federal courts power to issue injunctions against violators of the act.
