This act was passed in 1914, and gave the US government a greater control in regulating business. It prohibited exclusive sales contracts, and legalized peaceful strikes, picketing, and boycotts. It also provided more rights for unions. The act is enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, which was also created by President Wilson at this time. This shows how important industry and the industrial workers were becoming in the United States. It also connects to Europe because they too were very concerned with their industry, though more worried about war production, and not the workers who were doing the actual producing.
