CASE TO TEST
 STRIKEBREAKER 1. ACT UP NOV. 8
Challenge of Federal Law
 Based on NaIkOut at z Rand Plant
BY JACK AMMAN

Limited IPress Staff COFrespOndent)
 New Haven, Conn, Oct. 23-(UP) The first test of the Federal Byrnes Act, prohibiting interstate transportation of strike breakers, will be made here Nov. 8 when Pearl BArgcff, operator of a New York strike breaking agency, ard James H. Rand, Jr, president ot Remington.Rand, Inc, go on trial in U. 8. District Court on charges of violating the statute.
 Both have pleaded rot guilty and are at liberty under $5,0OO bond Defense attorneys and gov- ernment prosecutors believed the trial would last @ month and that 1t probably would go to the Su- preme Court, whichever way 1t was decided.
 Conviction carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison, Q S5,000 fine, or both.
 Plcketing Interference Charged
 The indictment SD ecificaliy charged Bergoff and Rand with transporting 57 persons over the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad with the alleged intention to interfere with picket ing at the strike-bound Middle town branch plant of Remington Rand. The men allegedly came from New York.
 The alleged violation occurred early in the summer of 1886 when strikes were called in Remington plants in three states-C Connecti- cut, Ohio and New York.
 . As result of the strikes, the National Labor Relations Board charged Rand with wholesale violations" of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. It ordered him to reinstate 4,000 employees in his tri-state factories.
 Butler Chief Prosecutor
 U. s. District Attorney Robert P. Butler, assisted by attorneys from the Department of Justice, will prosecute the case for the govern lnent. He has been connected with the case since indictments first were handed down April 12 after a 10 minute deliberation by a Federal grand jury.
 Bergoff, head of the Bergoff In- dustrial Service, New York City, has made little comment on the case. Rand, however, has made statements.
 'The company" he said, lis prepared to submit incontrovertl- ble evidence that the men trans ported to Middletown did not interefere with picketing or organ izing.
 "They were to be employed solely for the lawful purpose of crAting and moving machinery They were not put to work be- cause just pr;or to their arrival company officials decided to re- sun1e manufacturing operations irl Middletown
 T am glad of the opportunity for trial before a fair tribunal m which all the ways of local rack .eteers can be exposed even to their influence upon departments of our Federal government"

and the United States Courts. one occasionally hears some criticism or wasteful expenditures on public works projects. It is unavoidable of course in undertaking such an emer- gency program that there is some waste of public funds. But by ana large when the conditions we faced in 1882 are again considered and when we think of the broad lines and the unemployed and the need for emergency action, and when we look now upon the landmarks of the federal government in Connec- ticut such as its federal post office buildings, all thinking individuals will agree that the expenditures were justified by the value and ap- pearance of the buildings themselves and certainly by the employment they provided to people who were in need of work.
 Emergencies
 Although the federal government cannot always continue to expend funds on an emergency basis and must of necessity reduce eXpendi- lures and balance its budget if pulp lie confidence is to be maintained, nevertheless I feel that there has been such a wide approval of its useful works program that it will be continued on some moderate baS- is for years to come. Thus, while pursuing its objective of providing employment and uplifting mankind, the Democratic administration, un- der the guidance of the president, has placed and is placing in our state vast Improvements from which the people of Connecticut will ob- tain lasting benefit.

NEW YORK, october 2.-Bermuda-

bers that the upstairs route to the
Atlantic resort is enjoying a mild
form Of congestion In the two months
that air service has been available
more than 600 passengers have been
carried by the two lines in operation,
and recently the schedules were dou-
bled, so that there will be twice
as many opportunities to fly and
more flexibility in arranging trips.
Pan-American now sends out the
four-engine Bermuda Clipper on
Wednesday and Friday of each week
for the flight to Bermuda, with return
trips Thursday and Sunday. Imperial
AlrWays operates from Bermuda to
New York Mondays and Fridays. re-
turning from New York on Tuesdays
and Saturdays.
Availability of airplane service adds
| another attraction to Bermuda. The
popular Islands have assumed charm
as the spot for delightful week end
with the five-hour flights from Port
Washington, Long Island, to Darrells
Island in Hamilton Harbor.
At Port Washington the traveller
walks down the dock thrilling to the
sigh of the Clipper gently bobbine

AND BETS
REIGN At RACES
And One Must Be CongeniaI
to "Fit In" at Tracks
in France.

PARIS, France, October 2.-They're
off!
And thousands rise from their seats
to cheer as the Autumn racing season
in France gets into full swing. The
most beautiful women in Paris wear
ing next years fashions; gamblers
risking next months pay check;
hangers-on with last years hopes, and
visitors with this years enthusiasm
all flock to the eight splendid hippo
dromes Of the Bois de Boulogne and
Bois de Vincennes, Auteuil and the
suburban spots outside Paris to take
part in the sport Of kings.
Those who are in Paris during Oc-
tober will be able to find an exciting
race, large or small almost every day
at one OF the many courses. Some of
the more important events scheduled
to take place in the next few weeks
are the races at Enghien on October
II, IS, 19, 26 and 80; at st. Cloud on
October IL, IS, 25 and 80, and at lie
T'remblay on October 6, 20 and 81.
October 9 opens the Fall racing sea-
son at Auteuil with races the 10th,
23d and 3lst, and at Longchamp. on
October II, is the Prix de ConSeil
Municipal. For those who stay on
into November, there is another color
ful event November 2l-the Interna-
tional Military Steeplechase at Lyon,
France.
Trains Serve Tracks.
Enghien (hurdle and steeplechase)
is 10 minutes from the Care du Nord
by train. and can also be reached from
the opera or the Place de la Trinite.
Longchamp (flat in the Bois de
Boulogne, may be reached by the
Metro to the Porte Maillot by cleo
trio trains which go directly to the
course. st. Cloud (flat and trotting)

Persian Artists at Stitches.

BOMBAY, October 2.-Fine Persian
carpets have 900 to 700 stitches to
the square inch and the Persian who
can make 1000 stitches to the square
inch is considered an artist by his
people. There are over 200 sorts Of
Persian carpets, many OF which are
exported to London, now the carpet
center of the world. The finest are
usually hung as tapestries and the
basic price of an outstanding one,
before duty is paid and before it even
reaches wholesalers, is often as high
as $3.50 a square foot.

FALL SKATING OFFERED

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, October q
Not content with having skating all
Winter and also during a good part
OF the Summer as well, this resort
recently opened an Autumn ice skat-
ing season in the Olympic indoor
arena. This Fall diversion will con-
tlnue to November 6.
The arena, which was built for the
Third Olympic Winter Games in
1882, and which has been used Sum-
mer and Winter since that time by
ice-skating stars from all over the
world, will be open morning, after
noon and evening during the entire
Autumn ice season There will be
"just ordinary" skating, figure -skat-
ing and patch" skating in
the latter figure-skaters reserve par
ticular patches of the ice sheet for
their own practice and enjoyment. A
series of dance sessions is also an
nounced by the arena management.
Well known professional instructors
will be on duty.

is arrived at by train from the Care
st. Lazare. lie Tremblay (flat) is Is
minutes from the Care de rEst by
train, while Auteuil (hurdle and
steeplechase), one of the prettiest
tracks In France, may be reached by
train, bus, or private motor car.
After the visitor has paid his en-
trance fee, which is suited to both the
fat and the lean pocketbook, according
to his choice OF seats, his first duty is
to say "bon jour" to the usually aged
attendant who waits within the gates
selling programs. A program will cost
only few cents Of American money
and gives the complete list of races to
be run. Most programs are thought
fully printed with wide margins SO
that penciled calculations of gain. or
loss, may be figured on the spot with
out cropping for spare bits of paper.
For those who wish to take chance
on their luck. and for those who have
picked up 'sure thing" from one of
the many tipsters. there are pari-
mutuel windows an over the place
where bets may be placed, ranging
from a modest 10-franc wager to the
lordly bets involving hundreds OF
francs.
Bets are paid off promptly after the
race, although many hearts flutter for
few seconds until after the "all
clear" bell has sounded, signifying
that the race was won cleanly and that
the money may be handed out to the
lucky ones.
AS the winners line up to receive
their money, momentary friendships
spring up between young and old, at
tractive and unattractive, rich and
poor. The visitor who refuses to enter
into this exchange of congratulations
tips on other races and general in
formation is considered a bit naughty
and out of place.
At the first visit to French race
track 1t is noticed that the spectators
are less excited, less hilarious than at
the tracks of some other nations. But
they enjoy the race none the less in
their tense, attentive way and the
comparative quiet that prevails often
adds to the visitors pleasure.
The sport of kings was first reported
in France in the fourteenth century
in the reign of Charles lie Bel. 1t has
increased each year in popularity and
it is conservative to say that the visitor
to Paris will never forget his day
at the races"
