(ILNS).—Social Security Board officials estimate that approximately 912,000 persons will receive benefits during 1940—the first year payments are made under the old-age insurance plan of the Social Security Act. The benefits will vary from $10 a month to a maximum of $85 a month.

Best Christmas Business Since 1929 Is Predicted Washington, D. C. (ILNS). —The best volume of Christmas business since the boom year 1929 is predicted by government economists. Consumers, they say, have more money to spend than any time in the last 10 years and are showing a greater willingness to buy. The economists, who have access to current business reports, said that while dollar volume of Christmas sales will be the highest for the Roosevelt administration, it will still be sub stantially below that for December, 1929. However, they added, the quantity sold will compare favorably with the pre-new deal boom year. COAL FROM THE Anderson- Shatter COMPANY DELIVERED BY Union Drivers GIVE US A TRIAL You Will Be Satisfied! Phones 47 and 160 DAMAGE AWARD IS UPSET BY FEDERAL COURT OF APPEALS Verdict Was Against Union In Apex Sit-Down Strike Case. Philadelphia (ILNS).—In an unani mous opinion of far-reaching import ance to organized labor, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals set aside a triple damage verdict of $711,932 against the American Federation of Hosiery Workers for damage done to the Apex Hosiery Company's plant during a long sit-down strike in 1937. The award was invalidated by the court on the grounds that the 48-day strike was not a "violation of the Sherman or Clayton anti-trust" acts, as the company contended, but that interference with the firm's interstate commerce business arose only from a "local" attempt to unionize the plant. Court Raps Sit-Downers A Federal District Court jury last April 3 returned a verdict for $237, 310 damages, and the amount was tripled under the Sherman and Clay ton anti-trust laws. The Court of Appeals, however, de nounced the conduct of the 200 sit down strikers for allegedly wrecking knitting machinery, smashing fur niture and fixtures, and declared the company probably would have had a good claim against the union in the state courts. Strikers who seized the plant on May 6, 1937, and held it until June 23, did not have as their objective the interruption of interstate commerce, according to the court. Strike Held Local in Effect "On the contrary," the opinion stated, "their intent was to unionize the plant, an action local in motive and local in effect." Although the Circuit Court inti mated that the state courts consti tuted "the appropriate forum" in which the Apex Company should seek its damages, Sylvan H. Hirsch, coun sel for the company, stated that he would appeal the case immediately to the United States Supreme Court. The decision was a sweeping vic tory for all forms of organized labor, it was said, as the judgment, if up held, would have given employers a "club" to combat strike activities.
