Injunction Granted. Hartford Petitioners
 Pending Test Hearing
Measure Enforcement Interference of Trade Charged; Price Cutting War May Be Resumed on All Fronts
 ShOrtIy-PatrOns Reluctant to Pay Scale

Local barbers may join in the at tack on the constitutionality of the minimum price rules of the State Board of Barber Examiners which has been begun in Hartford. Many neighborhood barbers in this city have expressed opposition to the price fixing regulations since they went into effect, and they may take the present opportunity of lining up against the rulings.
 In Hartford, Anthony Sbriglio and Paul Olivadese have charged in superior court that the price fixing by the state board is unconstitution- al. Meantime they have secured an injunction restraining the commis- sion from enforcing the regulations as far as they and their employees are concerned. The injunction was granted by Judge Newell Jennings.
 The constitutionality of the rul- ings will be argued in the superior court at Hartford during the April session.
 The Hartford men claim that the action of the board of barber eX- aminers in fixing haircut prices at a 40 cent minimum and slaves at a 20 cent minimum has interfered with their trade. Many of their cus- toners, they allege, are unwilling to pay those prices, since before the rulings the shop charged consider ably less. Others, they claim, are actually unable to pay the new prices.
 The state board fixed the min imum prices some months ago, after a price-cutting war had been under way all over the state. Barbers in downtown sections in general ap- proved the minimums, but those in residential districts and outlying sections opposed the fixing of a minimum. The state board set min- imums after it was found that bar bers in various cities were unable to come to definite agreements by themselves.

NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE:
The mystery surrounding the Gov

general sympathy with every sound
effort to exhaust the processes of
justice in discovering the whole
