The Sherman Antitrust Act (Sherman Act,[1] July 2, 1890, ch. 647, 26 Stat. 209, 15 U.S.C. § 1–7) requires the United States Federal government to investigate and pursue trusts, companies and organizations suspected of violating the Act. It was the first Federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies, and today still forms the basis for most antitrust litigation by the United States federal government. It is named for its principal author, Senator John Sherman (R, Ohio). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Antitrust_Act Aug 28 10, 8:24 PM
