CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST ACT OF 1890.

The article reports on the constitutionality of the Sherman anti-trust act of 1890. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of the Trans-Missouri Traffic Association for the first time authoritatively declares the intended scope of the provisions of the so called Anti-Trust Act of 1890. In view of such interpretation of the statute, it is now the legal presumption that it was the intention of Congress to prohibit and render criminal every contract in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States or with foreign nations.
