YELLOW-DOG CONTRACT: An agreement signed by workers before they are hired, stipulating that they would not join a union after they are hired. This contract was commonly used by firms in the late 1800s and early 1900s to limit labor union membership and thus to prevent unions from exerting control over the labor market. Yellow-dog contracts were outlawed by the Norris-LaGuardia Act in 1932.

EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT: An agreement commonly used in the late 1800s and early 1900s between a producer and an intermediary (such as a store) in which the intermediary agrees to sell only the producer's good, while the producer agrees not to provide the good to other intermediaries in the same market. This was commonly used by firms to obtain market control for their output. The use of exclusive agreements was specifically outlawed by the Clayton Act in 1914. However, modern firms continue to use exclusive agreements with varying degrees of success.
