Why Clayton Act, seemingly intended to exempt union activities from Sherman Antitrust Act and to limit use of injunctions in labor disputes, failed to accomplish these aims has been a source of continuing controversy. The debate has revolved mainly around the proper interpretation of labor provisions of act. According to this article, however, there is no one correct interpretation. Rather, Woodrow Wilson--seeking a compromise, for political purposes, between demands of labor and of business--was responsible, together with members of Congress, for passage of legislation in such form that two opposite interpretations could be, and were, taken of it by labor and business, and even by Congressmen who voted for it.
