Six Risdon Cases Moved 
 Union PrepoFes
 Plons Co Picket
 Workers Homes

Cases of six persons arrested on charges growing out of the Risdon Manufacturing Company strike, were continued until Saturday in City Court today, Judge John L. Gaifney granting the request of Ate toney Edward Mascolo, counsel for four union members, for a post- ponement.
 Meantime, Local 25l, Interna- tional Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers, CI.O., proceeded with plans to picket the homes of Risdon workers who have been crossing the picket lines. Interna- tional Representative William Mor. iarty said that picketing will bee gin Monday and will be directed against the homes of non-strikers who allegedly claim that they have eceived special union permission" to stay at their jobs. Mir. Moriarty declared that the non-strikers whose homes will be picketed made "statements contrary to the truth to escape the disapproval of neigh bors and others"
 The state Board of Mediation and Arbitration, in hearing to be held at the City Hall Friday afternoon at i:30, will attempt to find 8 basis for a settlement of the lengthy strike, which has been in progress since Aug. 20,
 When City Court opened this morning, Attorney Michael ". Blansfield, counsel for a Risdon non-striker and Q New Haven truck driver arrested after allegedly knocking down pickets with their vehicles, was ready for trial of the cases. However, union witnesses were not present, and Attorney Mascolo told the court he had in- formed them and his associate counsel. Attorney Margaret Connors Driscoll, of Bridgeport, that the cases would be continued. It dee velcned that. Prosecutor Fxederick VI. palomba end Attorney BIans- field had agreed yesterday to 2 con- tin,aance this nfoning, but that a understanding had arisen.
 Attorney Mascolo sought a post ponement of the tials until Dec. g. but Judge Gaffney set Saturday as the hearing date. Four union mem bers represented by Attorney Mas colo and Attorney Driscoll were ar- rested on complaint of non-strikers.
 Union leaders here carefully studied the legal situation in regard to the plcketing of homes slated to begin next week. Johun J. Discoll, state CI.O. secretary, said that Judge J. Joseph smith ruled m U. s. District Court at Hartford that such picketing is an expression of free speech.
 In West Hartford, CI.o. pickets arrested in front of homes were found guilty of breach of peace ana appealed. An injunction in federal court was asked and, according to Mir. Drsicoll. though Judge smith denied the injunction on technical grounds he did not rule that pickett ing of homes was illegal.
 City authorities here are known to have the legal points of such picketingf1 under study in prepara- ton for possible developments. It is expected that police will be on the watch Monday, under care-
 flil instructions as to procedure.

 Higher Mill Rate Avoided

mAHm@ NAhAA ksNssC AN~A~S&
 The estimated transfer from other funds to the Reserve Fund will be mainly a transfer of unappropriated surplus. This year the Board transferred s2O0,00o from unappro- priated surplus in May, leaving si2e,OOO of unappropriated surplus, which now is being used to finance the le47 budget. The reason for not making a further transfer to the Reserve Fund after the initial s200,- 900 lies in the fact that were the sl2e,O00 of unappropriated surplus not available now for financing the ie47 budget, a further three-fourths of e mill increase would be required, as that is approximately what sl29.- 900 equals in mill rates.

Believes UNIV, Leader Are Guiltyof Contempt; Declaration Informal
Jurist Says
 Union Took Law Into Own Hands

Washington, Nov. 27--- (UP)-Federal Judge T. Alan Coldsborough today declared his belief that John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers (A.F.L.) "are guilty of contempt for refusing to call off the national coal strike.
 The judges declaration was not a formal ruling. But he left no doubt that he considers that he had every legal right to order the strike called off.
 To attorneys defending Lewis and the union against contempt charges, Goldsbor. ough said:
 ''If the defendants disre- garded entirely that order they are guilty of contempt" Took Law Into Own Handg7 Goldsborough went on to declare that Lewis and the union could net take the law into their oVn hands. T don't want any doubt left in anybody's mind" the judge said. "A1a individual can't take the law into his own hands and decide for himself. That is anarchy"
 The judge rejected the defense argument that the order was illegal on the grounds that it violated the Norris-LaG Guardia Act. This act for bids general use of injunctions to. break strikes. But the Government, and the judge, said this act did not affect the present injunction. If the defendants ignored his re- straining order of Nov. 18--ag they did-they are guilty of contempt regardless of whether the Norris LaGuardia Act applies" the judge said.
 Asked for Dismissal
 Lewis counsel formally demanded dismissal of the contempt charges and challenged the Governments constitutional power to break the strike by injunction or to punish the union leader in any later criminal action.
 Goldsborough reserved formal ruling on the dismissal motion until AFL. Chief Counsel Joseph A. Padway and other attorneys com. pleted their arguments at the after. noon session. Court was recessed at i2:27 P. M. until 1:45. In an exchange with counsel over legalities, Goldsborough said Lewis and the union made "a very great mistake in resorting to strike action before the court could rule on the legal issues.
 Your attitude in not waiting for Q judicial decision" the judge saids was a very great mistake on your part"
 Skirmishes Only Preliminary
 The verbal back-and-forth be- tween Goldsborough and union counsel was preliminary to the actual trial. Not until the aTgu- ments are concluded can the court
