II. Court Ponders Sit down Issue Question Is Whether Union Is Liable For Damage During Apex Strike Washington, April 3, P). The Supreme Court today held under consideration the question whether a labor union which engaged in a sit down strike is liable for damages under the 1890 Sherman Anti Trust Act. A final decision is expected in a few weeks. Three hours of arguments were concluded with an assertion from Sylvan H.

Hirsch, attorney for the Apex Hosiery Company of Philadelphia, that "Congress has never immunized violence insofar as it restrains interstate commerce." Isadore Katz, counsel for a Phil adelphia unit of the American Fed eration of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers, contended that a labor organization never could violate the Sherman Act This act, which prohibits combinations or conspiracies in re straint of interstate commerce, was used by the Apex Company as the basis of a damage suit against the hosiery union as a result of a seven week sit down strike in 1937. The Federal District Court at Philadelphia awarded the Apex Company a $711,932 judgment, but the Federal Circuit Court reversed it on the ground that the purpose of the labor organization was to unionize the plant and not to restrain interstate commerce.
