LocuI Boards To
Classify Registrars

All serial numbers were drawn in
the National Lottery Tuesday and
order numbers were thereby deter
mined for all registrants. However,
it was emphasized today by National
Selective Service Headquarters that
FOCAL Boards will classify registrants
only as they are needed to fill quotas
required to induct 100000 Selective
Service registrants into the armed
forces by June Is, l941.
1t is estimated by officials at
State Selective Service Headquar-
tiers that approximately one-third of
all registrants will qualify for class
la and that not more than twenty
per cent of class Ia registrants will
be required by June Is, 1941. For
instance, a Local Board area has
5000 registrants. Of these, it is es-
timated that approximately 1000 will
be placed in class IA. In such event,
probably less than 200 would be call
ed by June Is, 1941.
Friends of Wilburn R. Causey
will be glad to know that he has
been promoted to Captain at Kelly

Detroit, Mich, Nov. Chevrolet
retail sales in 1910, in exactly nine
months and 20 days, have surpassed
those for the entire calendar year OF
1889, it was announced here today by
Williams E. Holler, general sales
manager. The figure for the current
year through Oct. 20, he said, is
S14,951, as compared with 1885
for the entire year of 1889. This is
already a gain of 20 per cent.
Considerably with the sales re-
cord for the annual period, Mr..
Holler announced two other Chevro-
let selling records. The period just
closed-the second 10 days of Oc-
tober-establishes a new record as
the greatest similar period in Crevro-

rose to the highest point since 1887,

boom year of 1929. AS c%ontrasted
with earlier in the year, there has
been a marked increase in demand
for m~erchandis of all descriptions,
both in the large cities and the coun-
try. This expansion is partly due to
purchasing by the Government I'M

but the greater part is attributable
to the augmented buying power OF
the public incident to improved en-
ployment conditions and generally
large crops.
During September the volume Of

as measured by contracts let in the
district, reached a new peak for the
year. The number of homes being

there is more plant and factory build

fencing a boom, with many mills
operating three shifts, and still re-

Durunt Tackles Unbeuten
RoseduIe On Friday
By William Cathey

Twice beaten Durant High foot
ball squad will meet one of the
toughest foes of the 1910 campaign
Friday afternoon on the local field
when Coach Dudley Brumfield, for
mer pigskin mentor here, will bring
his Rosedale crew with al untarnish-
ed record to oppose Coach Dace
Davis Tigers.
The affair will have no bearing on
the conference slate but will have a
large touch of rivalry attached to it.
Being in the nature of a "grudge
battle, the contest should cause tu-
tors of both outfits to execute every
slight of hand trick possible in an
effort to obtain a victory.
The homelings have not yet reach
ed the desired stage on blocking and
this phase has been receiving a large
share of attention this week together
| with pass offense and defense. In
juries to five regulars last week re-
suited in little practice. However, all
will be ready for the Friday en-
| counter. These include Gibson, Car
roll, Storms and C~resswell, backs,
and Tom Smith, end.
Coach Dace Davis will offer a pair
of triple-threat secondary perfor-
mers in Carroll and Gibson, an ex-
cellent pass received in Smith and a
line that should be about ready for
the tough assignment. Cocker, Smith,
O'Cain, Waddell, Hodges, Burnley
and Witt are seven front line lads
who are expected to do a large share
of protecting the Tiger ball car
riers.
Rosedale will offer a brilliant
kicker in Taylor and a couple OF
very dependable backs in Butler and
Streete. Activity is scheduled to get
under way at 3 o'clock.

Antitrust Lows
Limifed In Scope
BY Supreme Court
Only Apply To Unions In
Price-Fixing Cases States
Court Decision

Washington, d. C. - Practically
every avenue to prosecution of labor
unions under the antitrust laws was
closed by the Supreme Court of the
United States in a far-reaching deci.
sion in the Apex Hosiery case.
The court, by 6 to 3 majority
held that labor organizations are sub.
ject to such prosecution only wher
they are used by combinations in ar
industry for the purpose Of suppress.
ing competition or fixing prices.
While the decision was subjected tc
varied interpretations in different
quarters, it was clear that most OF
the indictments obtained by Assistant
Attorney General Thurman ArnolC
against American Federation Of La
Dor unions will not stand up in the
| light Of the highest courts ruling
The decision said:
while we must regard the ques
tion whether labor unions are to some
extent and in some circumstances sub
ject to the act as settled in the af
firmative, it is equally plain that this
court has never thought the act tt
apply to all labor union activities Of
fecting interstate commerce. The
prohibitions of the Sherman act were
not stated in terms of precision OF
of crystal clarity and the act itself
did not define them.
"A significant circumstance is tha,
this court has never applied the Sher
man act in any case, whether or not
involving labor organizations or &C
tivities, unless the court was of opin
ion that there was some form Of re-
straint upon commercial competition
in the marketing Of goods or services
and finally this court has refused tt
apply the Sherman act in cases like
the present, in which local strikes con
Quoted by illegal means in a produc
tion industry prevented interstate
shipment of substantial amounts OF
the product, but in which it was not
shown that the restrictions on ship
ments had operated to restrain com
mercial competition in some substan
tial way.
"The question remains whether tn,
effect Of the combination or conspir
acy among respondents was a re
straint of trade within the meaning o.
the Sherman act. This is not a case
Of a labor organization being used b!
combinations of those engaged in al
industry as the means or instrument
for suppressing competition or fixing
prices"
In it's decision, the Supreme Cour
refused to hold the union involved
(American Federation of Hosier!
Workers -ClO) liable to damages unde

the union had engaged in a sit-dowl
strike.
