Addyston Pipe and Steel Co. v. US| US Supreme Court decision of 1899 that granted the federal government certain regulatory powers over private businesses. The case resulted from a number of convictions of pipe-manufacturing firms for price fixing, a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The pipe companies argued that manufacturing was not under federal regulation. The Court ruled that price fixing was a clear impingement on interstate commerce and was therefore under federal regulatory jurisdiction. |
