DEMOCRATICRA RANK
 SPLIT INDICATED
Further Emphasis Shown as Mary COughlin Gets
 National Appointment

The split in the ranks of the state Democratic organizat ton was further emphasized last night, when the State Central Committee, by q vote of 34 to 33, named Miss Mary Coughlin, young Stratford lawyer to succeed the late Mrs. Josephine Flynn of Bridgeport as member of the Democratic National Commit tee. Miss Coughlin was opposed by Mrs. Carleton Palmer, of Fair field.
 Closeness of the battle indicated that the breach in the state or- ganization, instead of coming closer to being healed, has in fact grown worse. Both women had strong support, with the influence of the Young Democratic state organiza- ton one of the principal reasons for Miss Coughlin's victory.
 Mrs. Palmer last year served as presidential elector from Connec- ticut. She was a candidate for the State Senate in 1936, losing to J Kenneth Bradley. Miss Coughlin prior to the balloting at New Ha- ven last night circulated documents showing that Mrs. Palmer was Q registered Republican until last year
 No action was taken at Che meeting toward the busting of Miss Dora Egan, local town clerk, as a member of the State Central Con- mittee. Considerable resentment was aroused against Miss Egan when in this years city election she ran as the Fusion nominee against the regular Democratic ticket.
 Miss Coughlin was backed in her successful fight for the post of na- tional committeewoman by the group which last year supported Paul Connery in his battle for the post of national committeeman She was backed by Mayor Thomas Spellacy of Hartford, and Miss Katherine T. Quinn of West Hart ford, secretary to Comptroller Charles O. SwartZ.
 Mrs. Palmer had the support of State Chairman J. Francis Smith of this city, the local Democratic oi |, 6HAAA2fbVAOh1 uAiA Ch0huJOA 4\uNSd FitzGerald of New Haven.
 The State Central Committee ac. cepted the resignation of William M. Greene as secretary, but took no action on appointing a succes. sor. The resignation of Fred Holt of Hartford, party treasurer, was also received, but no action op acceptance was taekn.
 At dinner prior to the meeting. Gov. Wilbur L. Cross asked for united effort on behalf of the party in next years state and congress sional elections. Senators Augus- tine Lonergan and Francis T. Ma loney spoge briefly.
 The committee voted to fill nin9 vacant posts. The new members elecetd were: Mrs. Gertrude Moran of Enfield, James P. Hines of East Haven, Miss Marjorie Mccarthy of Branford, Patrick Sullivan of Le- banon, Mrs. Rose Bruno of Bridge. port, Mrs. Dorothy Bartlett of Put nam, Napoleon Fournier of Plain- field, Patrick Phelan Of Torring. ton, and Mrs. Ruby North of Ply mouth.

ing, peaceful picketing, right of peaceful picketing, labor controv- ersy, conditions of labor, right of or- ganization for the purpose of col- lective bargaining, and others. The attorney charged the law violated the interstate commerce clause. The law, he said, is not based on the power of congress to protect inter state and foreign commerce, but is based on its power to prohibit the use of interstate commerce as a vehicle for crime.
 Thus, he said, in the absence of a Connecticut criminal statute, con- gress has usurped its constitutional power and also the police power re- served to the states. The act is ambiguous, Cohen asserted, and fails to limit itself to violations of an interstate nature, but becomes ap- plicable to businesses engaged solely in intrastate commerce.

BRASS WORKERS SEND COMPLAINT
Inform Mayor Union Was Overlooked in PersOn-
 mel of Census Group

Despite the failure of Mayor Hayes to appoint a member of the Waterbury Brass Workers union to the citizens committee to aid the Federal unemployment census, the executive committee of that or ganization has pledged its support and cooperation in the task.
 In letter to Mayor Hayes to- day, prepared by Recording Secre- tary John J. Driscoll, at the re- quest of the executive committee, the mayor is informed of the Wa terbury Brass Workers Unions censure for failure to be represent ed on the committee.
 The letter follows:
 Oct. 27, 1887. "Mr. T. Frank Hayes, Mayor, City Hall, Waterbury.
 Dear sir:-
 The Executive Committee of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union at its meeting on October 26 voted unanimously to censure your action in failing to name a member of the Brass Workers Union as a repre- sentative of organized labor on the citizens committee to aid the Fed eral unemployment census; and I have been instructed to notify you of this vote of censure as well as to present the reasons therefor.
 "The executive committee feels that the Brass Workers Union, as the largest labor organization in the city, and composed as 1t IS of workers in all the local factories, would be in a position to aid great- ly in the task of compiling an ac- curate census of the unemployed and the partially employed in Wa terbury. The committee feels that If you are activated by @ sincere desire to make an accurate sur- vey of the unemployment situation, you have made @ grevious mistake in emitting to name @ representa- tive of the Brass Workers Union to the citizens committee.
 "The Brass Workers Union .is vitally concerned with the present increase in unemployment, both complete and partial, among the factory workers of Waterbury; and we believe that an accurate survey Is imperative. In the interests of a. survey, and despite your failure to enlist the Unions services, the executive committee pledges the full cooperation of the Union toward the achievement of complete ccn- sus of the unemployed by the Fed eral Government.
 Yours truly,
 J. J. DR1scoLL,
 Recording Secretary"

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 29.-(UP) The constitutionality of the Byrnes anti-strike- breaking act was attacked today as counsel for James H. Rand, Jr., and Pearl Bergoff, head of @ New York strike ke-breaking agency, sought to dismiss federal indict- mentS charging them with Its viola ton. Trial of the two men, held in $5,000 bond each for allegedly vio- lating the Byrnes law prohibiting interstate transportation of strike breakers, was scheduled for Nov. 8. They were accused of transporting 57 strike-breakers from New York to Middletown in the summer of 1886 in efforts to interfere with peaceful picketing at the Middle town branch plant of Remington Rand.
 U. s. Judge Carroll c. Hincks per- mitted Attorney George H. Cohen, new counsel for Bergoff, to file a de- murrer to the indictment and a mo- ton to. quash. Hearing was set for Nov. 4.
 The Rand-BergoH case has drag ged through the courts since early this year. When and if trial is started, 1t will be the first test oi the Byrnes act, violation of which calls for heavy fine and prison sen. tences. Cohen, in his plea before Judge Hincks, charged the ByrneI act violated the fifth and sixth amendments of the Constitution by failing to define the crime with cer- tainty. He asserted terms of the law were vague. Filing of the de- murrer presaged a bitter court bat tie, and 1t was felt whichever way the court decision went the case would be taken to the supreme court.
 Cohen argued the untested law failed to define sufficiently the fol- lowing terms: breaker, em- ploy, obstruct, interference, picket
