Reel 124 continues the clipping scrapbooks pertaining to trusts and monopolies. The material in Anti-Trust IV and V is divided between general anti-trust material, the Shoe Manufacturers' Alliance, and the Tobacco reorganization issue. Several reports illuminate Brandeis' influence on Woodrow Wilson's anti-trust program, both during the 1912 presidential campaign and the debate that resulted in the passage of the 1914 Clayton Anti-Trust bill. Also found are clippings on the government's anti-trust suits against the United Shoe Machinery Company; Delaware, Lackawanna, & Western Railroad and Coal Company; U.S.Steel; and Standard Oil of New Jersey. The reel ends with Advance Rate I scrapbook and articles supporting increased freight rates for the nation's railroads.
