The contention that labor unions are not subject to the anti-trust laws “unless they become part of a ccmbination of employers which commits acts in violation of the law” was set up by Lee Pressman, counsel for the C. I. O., in connec- tion with a brief on file today in the Supreme Court in the Apex Hosiery case. In this case, due shortly for argu- ment, a C. I. O. union of hosiery D. C., WEDNESDAY, workers in Philadelphia was as- sessed $711,000 damages under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act as the re- sult of a strike at the Apex plant. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed this judgment and the company took the litigation to the Supreme Court. Mr. Pressman filed a statement in this case shortly after Justice Peyton Gordon, in District Court, had held that the Teamsters’ Union here and five officers were subject to prosecution under the anti-trust laws for allegedly restraining build- ing operations in a dispute with an associate union, the Operating En- gineers. 3 MARCH 27, 1940. New U. S. Torpedo Boat Goes 46 M.P.H. in Test By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, March 27.—The PT-6, Uncle Sam’s newest type tor- pedo boat for offshore defense work, thundered along at 46 miles an hour yesterday in its first speed test and then was prepared for grueling trials at sea. Naval experts watched the heavily | powered, 81-foot craft slash across Lake Pontchartrain, termed its per- formance “satisfactory” and hinted the boat might be superior to any- thing used by foreign powers. It was explained the new motors were not broken in and no attempt was made to reach theoretical max- imum speed of 60 miles. The PT-6 will get more exhaustive tests in three days in the open Gulf of 8t.
