YALE MEN ARRESTED.
Held For Distributing Handbill via
 an Airplane.

New Haven, June 6.-Thomas B. Sweeney, Jr., Yale 1926, and whose home is in Washington, D. C., and Arthur s. Lord, classmate of Tar rytown, N. Y., were before City At torney Whitaker today as chief fig ures in an inquiry as to the distri- button on May 2S from an airplane 'of handbils which were used as propaganda in the political campaign in Yale university which eliminated i'll mock presidential convention.
 State Policeman I.enzi had com plaints against both students, Sweeney being charged with piloting an un- registered Aircraft, under the state laws, and operation of an aircraft without a pilots license, while lord was charged with distributing hand bills from an airplane. Lord is as- sistant editor of the Yale News. There have been no previous cases of this kind here, and possibly none since state aviation laws were passed in 1913. The students were taken be- fore Mir, Whitaker and not into court, and after the former had told their stories they were each released on their own recognizance to appear in court tomorrow.

STONE SPEAKS ON PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
Says Labor Has No Thought Of FaVorine Govt. Control of Roads

New York, June 6.-Rairoad unions have been accused of favoring government ownership of steam transit, but Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers, declared today at the annual convention of the National As- sociation of Mutual Savings banks, I've have no illusions of any elysium in that direction"
 Public ownership has seemed to many to be the only possible weapon against a financial control which could envision the real problems of labor onlyAs so many figures on . balance sheet" he said. "The broth- crhoods have no quarrel with private ownership, if such ownership can be administered with genuine trustee ship of the rights of tho public, labor and the investor"
 Speaking as an organizer of labor banks and as president of the Loco- motive Engineers Cooperative Trust company of New York city, as well as head of one of the Big Four" rail- road unions. Mir. Stone said:
 soboi htNNi tiiC Fundamental right, of the investor to return on funds actually expended in the development of transportation facilities. What the brotherhoods have fought bitterly, and shall con- tinue to fight, is the financial legerde- main of certain types of financial op- orators who have sought to load the railroads, as they now seek to load industry, with a capitalization based not on Investment values, but on fu- lures and prospective earning power, frequently non existent, except in the imagination of the so-callcd finan- ciers.
 There is further reason why la bor and the savings bank investor should fall into step on the railroad problem. because labor today is in Hesting its savings on very large scale.
 As railroad men we turn naturally, just as the savings banks have turn ed, to railroad investments Il
 Through long years of experience, often bitter enough, we have come 10 know the power of money. Now we are going to make it work for us. not destructively, but in broad con- structive way in the interests of the nation as well as ourselves"

Wall Street Briefs

New York, June 6.-Pending devel- opments in connection with mergers of many small public utility proper ties preliminary to formation of su- per-power systems, are ascribed in the financial district to the unusual burst of strength in utility stocks that has featured recent trading on the New York stock exchange and the curb market. The tendency in the past, it was said has not always been to make utility corporations geographi- cal units, but the current practice of physically joining utility plants is turning the trend in this direction. An example cited is the proposed splitup of the American Electric Power Co. properties,
 Sales of the McCory stores in the five months of 1924 aggregated sS,- S50,S67, an increase of nearly one and half million dollars over the cor responding period last year.
 Further cutting of oil prices was reported from Texas with q reduction by the Magnolia Petroleum Go. of 10 to 50 cents a barrel in crude oil.

Gross earnings were $12, ,6s2 against $12,246,495 in the preceding year while net earnings were si,434,- SS9 compared with sS,97I107.
 The new high levels at which lib- crty bonds are selling have moved financial observers to analyze these is- sues for future possibilities. The opin- ion being that while most of the pres ent strength is due to government buying. the larger amount of surplus funds held by corporations through the decline in business, is the main factor. Until greater business de- mands absorb excess funds now avail able in the open market the present period of strength is expected to con tinue,

10000 PAINTERS
IN N, Y, ESCAPE
DEADLY POISONS
Get 5-Minute Period of
Rest Every Hour

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Ten thou.
sand painters affiliated with District
Council No. g., of the Brotherhood OF
Painters, Decorators and Paperhang-
ers Of America are now working I'M
der new agreement freeing them
from benzol and wood alcohol poison
ing, providing for ventilation and rest
periods and furnishing other much
needed health safeguards that are ex-
pected to reduce the high death rate
of the men who follow this line Of
work.
The Is health rules, which contrac-
tors must observe, were drawn up
by the Workers Health Bureau with
which the painters organization is
affiliated.
They provide for the complete ELI
mination of paint containing the dead
ly benzol and wood alcohol that have
wrecked so many painters; they re-
quire a 5-minute rest period every
hour, open windows, the turning over
of all doubtful paint materials to a
trade board for investigation; the la
belling Of paints, adequate washing
facilities for the workers; the prohibit
ton of sandpapering or dry scraping
of surfaces painted with lead, and
other provisions.
DR.. Emery R. Hayhurst of the paint
ers' health department found that go
per cent of the first 267 records tabu-
lated this year showed symptoms Of
lead and other poisons; S5 per cent
had non-occupational diseases, while
only five per cent could be considered
in good health. The Metropolitan Life
Insurance company recently found
that while only 1914 per cent of their
policy holders showed heart defects
that 80 per cent of the painters were
so affected, due to the effects of the
poisons among which they worked.
Benzol, a petroleum product, has come
into more general use since the war.
The unions action against it has been
taken because employers failed to
remedy the condition at their own mi
tiative. The elimination of benzol and
wood alcohol will require employers
to find substitutes regardless Of
whether these substitutes cost more
or less. The union declared that hui
man lives come before profits.
In statement issued by the Work
ers' Health Bureau, it is pointed out
that other health reforms still remain
to be accomplished in the New York
district However, the action taken
by District Council No. 9, for the
painters of Manhattan and the Bronx,
leads the way for 100000 other paint
ers Of America to follow.
