LABOR CLAUSE OF
 TRUST ACT BEFORE
 THE SUPREME COURT

Washington, March 17.-Construcsion of the Clayton antitrust act passed last Oc- tober with it's labor exemption clauses was laid before the supreme court today by the filing of a brief in the so-called wood work manufacturers case.
 The suit was begun long before the passage of the Clayton act but it is claimed the new statute is retroactive and applies to all cases pending at its pass age. whether in the trial court or in ap- pellate tribunals. The case is one in which open shop woodwork manufacturers throughout the country are seeking to en- join certain New York members of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and union shop manufacturers from carrying out an al- legged conspiracy to destroy the trade or the open shop manufacturers.
 The New York courts denied relief un- der the sherman law. Attorneys for the open shop manufacturers contend, how ever, that the Clayton law gives them a right to an injunction in specific words. They urge that labor unions are not eX- empted from the penalties of doing acts made Illegal under the sherman antitrust law or any other law
 The brief sets forth that if labor unions are permitted by the Clayton law to do il- legal acts that the United States Steel corporation could destroy it's competitors br arrangements with a union whereby the latter would call strikes on every rail- road ia every factory and on every build- ing where competitors products were used. Such exemption from the penalty for committing illegal acts, it is urged, would he class legislation and unconsti- tutional.

 Sheriff Waller announced that 1t is his Mtchtion to cooperate with Governor Henderson and state officers in every way possible in apprehending the former food and drug clerk, and indicated his desire to publish photographs of MT. Bil- kingsley and send them abroad throughout the country.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 17.-(Special. )--Livef- pool again advanced despite a lower mar kct here yesterday afternoon, with the largest spot demand since before the war. The trade here believe this sharp ad- vance and large spot demand mark the continuation of the advance in that mar ket Therefore they have been free sei- lers. anticipating break in prices. In other words they think Liverpool cannot go on advancing if this market will not follow.
 Of course the markets have been legally divorced by the Lever bill, and their arugment may be correct but there must be some basis for the strength abroad which we cannot learn. There is no infor- nation in the market except the report that the acreage in Egypt will be de- creased 20 per cent, but that is not new and would have little effect upon Ameri- can cotton.
 The market closed with the expectation of lower Liverpool markets tomorrow

STOCK DEALINGS SHOW SMALL TOTAL Undertone Is Considerably Steady In Spite of Some
 Irregularities

New York, March 17.-Dealings in stocks pday showed the smallest total of any recent period, but the undertone was con- slstently firm, except for some irregu- larity at the outset and toward the close. Reading rose a further fraction. but re- corded slight net loss.
 Lehigh Valley controlled by Reading interests rose substantially on main tenance of its dividend. and otffer high priced shares also evinced a tendency to harden. However, trading was devoid of actual significance. the only note worthy changes occurring in the semi active or high speculative issues. Among these were Pittsburg Coal preferred; Pa cific Mail. General Motors and Sears Rocbuck, which declined 1 to points, vi hile Mexican Petroleum. American Beet Sugar and. Bethlehem Steel moved as much in the other direction.
 Metal and allied stocks failed to reflect to any appreciable extent the more favor- ablc advices.
 United States Steel was barely moro than steady at any time. its place in point of activity being taken py stocks of far less prominence. Trade authorities re- ported better prospects in that industry mainly on large foreign contracts now in course of consummation.
 Foreign exchange moved in it's recent contrary manner, cables and drafts on London being firmer, with some heavi- ness in France.
 Total sales of stocks, 122,100 shares.
 Bonds reflected the stock market for most important issues, but became ir- regular later. Total sales (par value), S1.S21, ,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

ANOTHER SHARP

July and Later Deliveries
 Make New High Records At New York

New York. March 17.-There was an- other sharp advance in cotton at tho open ing, with July and later deliveries mak- ing new high seasonal records, but reac- tions followed under realizing. and the close was steady at a net gain of only 1 to points
 Continued strength of Liverpool was a factor at the start and first prices were 9 to il points higher with July selling at e.S2c, compared with S.55c, the low point reached on the break of March 1. and 9.2sc high record of last January.
 Liverpool was buyer here. while there was covering by some of yesterday s sellers for a turn, and considerable de- mand from Wall street and western sources. which was believed to be partly rebuying by investors, who had taken profits earlier in the week. Offerings. however, included some southern selling. while there was also moderate selling here by houses with German connections. cotton likely to be tied up by shipping uncertainties, and prices soon reacted to within or 6 points of yesterdays close
 Business became less active after Liver pools close and there were rallies to practically the high point of the morn ing, but on every advance to around 9 COG for October, realizing was in evidence and the market turned easter in late trading. closing at the lowest point of the day
 Houses with New Orleans connections were sellers here on the late decline and one of the private wires received from there claimed there had been pome offer ing of cotton for resale by exporters. Pri- vate cables attributed the advance in Liverpool to continued French and Rus sian buying, larger spot sales and smaller offerings. The days port receipts were 35117 bales.
