MUCH DUST IN
LUNGS OF BODIES
Reports of Autopsies Following Deaths
of Several Employees of Staso
Milling Company.

Attorney General II. G. Barber has
received from DR. B. Fl. Stone of Bur
lington. state pathologist, report of
the autopsies recently performed Oct
9 on bodies of employees of the Staso
Milling Go. of Castleton who died of
pneumonia following Influenza. The
company grinds slate stone, which pro-
duces large amount of dust, and it
was thought some of the numerous
deaths might have been induced by the
occupation Of the individual Dr. Stone
reported that there was no arsenic in
the dust
Autopsies Were performed on the
bodies Of Arthur Lindstrom, Robert
Johnson and Quat Ost 1t was found
that they died of pneumonia.
1.-The lungs of Ost and Lindstrom
were extensively consolidated" the re-
port says, "while those of Johnson
showed diffuse scattered areas of con.
solidation. The microscopical examina-
ton of the lungs of these eases showed
in every instance the presence of much
foreign matter (stone dust) in the ma.
terial which fills the air yesicles, in the
walls of these yesicles and in the lvm-
phatie accumulation through the lungs
Many of the particles are inside
the cells, having evidently been taker
up by these cells in an effort to rid tn,
/ lung of the irritant matter.
While there is no direct evidence
from the autopsy that this pneumonia
would not have followed the inf1uenz;
infection as il did without the presenc,
of the dust, it can hardly be doubte,
! that such an amount of foreign matte
acted as subsidiary exciting cause :
