DR, BUTLER WARNS " REPUBLIGAN PARTY Says G. 0. P. Must Avoid Any- + thing at All Wild New York, Oct. 8,—“Neither a wild plattorm nor a wild candidate” can swing the pivotal states to the repub- lican party in 1024, according to Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler in an inter- view last night. Dr. Butler, whose re- marks were addressed to New York voters particularly, named this state, Massachusetts, New .Jersey, Connocti- cut, Maryland, Illinois and Missouri as the states he had in mind, Dr. Butler suggests Speaker H. Ed- mund Machold and former Senator Henry M. Sage of Albany as the best men for the gubernatorial nomination in this state. He declares the election of Magnus Johnson as senator in Min- nesota was not a forecast of republi- can radicalism, but an evidence of the fallure of the party voters to go to the polls, He said in part: ‘At the moment the important un- dertakings are to secure a republican majority in the next assembly, in or- der to keep the entire government of the state from passing nuder the con- trol of Tammany hall, and to elect as many competent and qualified judges of the supreme court in this depart. ment as may be possible. “Naturally there is constant talk of the mext candidate for governor. By eommon consent ,the two men in the state best fitted for that great office are former Senator Sage of Albany and Speaker Machold of Jefferson. It would be greatly to the advantage of the state if both men might serve as governor in succession. Their public experience, their knowledge of state aftairs, as well as their ability and character mark them out above all other names that have been suggested. * # "There might be political advantage also in selecting the candidate from an up-state county since Greater New York, which casts a small fradtion of the republican vote, has had the can- didate for governor each time since Gov. Higgins was elected in 1905 until Gov. Miller was nominated in 1920, The name of Congressman Mills has also been mentioned, but many of his friends hope that he will prefer to remain in the House f Representatives where he already has gained an influ- ential position. o There are many republicans who would like to see Judge Fredrick BE. Crane of the Court of Appeals nom- inated for governor, but it is feared that his recent election to the highest court of the state might make him unwilling to consider any such pro- posal.

Tradesmen Sell Servioes at Auction New York, Oect, '§.~-Each night be | tween 6§ and § o'clock and about any | time on Sunday after § in the morning the slave market in Brownsville is open, This is ne “Tom" show where little Eva rides to heaven on a prop- erty string or where Unele Tom writhes under the lesh of a moustach- ed driv The " drive up In " NEW BWITAIN DALY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER &, 1028, moaths of this business their natursl i had helped them to plek up the knack of plastering Those teachers are receiving §20 & day now for thelr work and are golng to bid for meore. They say it's & great sav- ing on white collars, Where will it end ? The question was put to A. 1. Ship. lacoff, director of the educational een- | ter of the B sville laber lyceum. | Whiviacaff was the first socialist assamblyman from New York and served in the state legiglature of Tead, only selution | ean see,” he sald, “is the one T agvanced in the legislature —~ that of autherizsing the eity to build hemes for the peeple We presented a definitely construeted pian for ths city to bulld apartments ( and houses and either vent or sell them to the people at cost.” I thelr cars and the “slave beatprs”, in the guise of contractors, are rather humble in their manner. It strange situation that has develo) in the bullding trades, The center of the auction area is at Pitkin and Stone avenues, Here labor is bid for at prices that might cause the white collar man to turn , A8 though he had iIndulged in a full round meal of evcumber pickles and fce cream, Ten dollars a day doesn't mean a thing at Brownaville auction block, Fifteen dollars hardly means more, But when somebody remarks about the golden yellow hue on the back of a $20 note—for a day's labor ==ho begins to speak in the only lan- gusge that is Intelligible around Pit. kin and Stone avenues, And if he casually mentions $25 for a day's work he not only has uttered a mouthful, but his volce sounds amplified as though from a loud speaker, About 1,000 people were at the auctlon block yesterday, They milled around as though there was a caucus in the neighborhood—or a free-for-all, Cars of varlous makes and prices wore parked nearby. Eyes And Money Talk Everybody knows why everybody else is present, It is a situation where eycs speak a multitude of words, where an inflection sings like the parallel lines on the dollar mark. Hence all unneccessary verblage is eliminated. The conversation is re- duced to a set of almost primordlal grunts—Iike this: “Umph? p “Umph; $25.” "Good! And for all this the late war fis blamed. The more lucid of the speakers thire say it developed shortly after the armistice when cer- tain people were flush with money and wanted homes pronto. They found they couldn’t get the homes as rapidly as they wanted unless they paid higher wages than the union scale. They were agreeable; what was the newly acquired money for? So little by little the wages were boosted. Tradesmen found they could demand and command. They did both. There was a master tradesmen organization among the contractors, but that is rather decrepit now. The contractors found they must have help. The amateur home * builders were stealing help by paying big wages. Home builders, finding they could sell the homes at a profit of $3,000 to $5,000 each, turned around and became contractors. The work- ers were sitting at the top of . the world through no effort of their own,; but benefiting by a situation the ama- teur contractors and the regular ones were creating. Union Scale Means Nothing. The union wage scale for plasterers is $10 a day. Contractors yesterday were hiring the best men for $25 and $26. The scale ‘for carpenters in Brooklyn is $12 and they were hiring out at $25 yestérday. 'The operation is called *snowballing” among master tradesmen. It isn’t called much of anything at Pitkin and Stone avenue except getting the help. So amazing has the situation be- come that a workman may be on the job only three days before he has an offer from another contractor for $1 more a day. He quits immediately— workmen are paid by the week, and no money is held back—and goes to another job. Any contractor may have a complete and excellent force When ho goes home at night. Next morning he may arrive to find his job as de- void of workmen as Mrs, Hubbard's cuphoard was of lones. The only thing left for hini- to do is to go out and steal the "help away from some other job—at $1 a day more a man. There isn't any trouble among the contractors. They accept it as a situ- ation. It's every man for himself. The building is mostly in the locality of Brownsville and consists of apart- ment house work. Thé contractor must finish his job on time. It be- comes a question with him whether he will take a loss fmposed by a for- feit for pverlapping the time limit or Contractors agree they have sustained some heavy losses. But they admit they aren't doing ‘it now—not by a Jugful, P ® The Owner: Pays. They're figuring the price of wages into the contract amount, and the owner has to pay. That means that real estate prices have risen out of all |- proportion, and Brownsville is on the verge of a skyrocket boom, with the skyrocket plentifully supplied with impetus. | Rents likewise are up. Apartments/| are rented at from $15 to $20 a room. High wages are chasing rents and rents likewise are chasing high wages. 1t's a game of put and take with the accent on both. . Up to a short time ago few outside of Brownsville had heard of this auction block and the high prices that werfe being paid, Recently the news has leaked out. One contractor said yesterday he had been unfortunate in getting help, but was delighted when two intelligent appearing men agreed to work for him at $15 a day. | They .appeared at the job next| morning and very soon he found out they didn’t know a thing about any of the work. He questioned them— before he fired them. Théy were teachers fram one of New York's public schools who had quit the business of instructing to bluff their way into the wealthy plasterers circle. They did later. As soon as they were fired, the first time went back to the auction block and they hired out once more.

Hartford, Oct. 8,—Although he has been a resident of this county for 20 years and is a citizen and veteran of the world's ‘war, Alfred Piccolo, who conducts a grocery business here, is separated from his bride of two months by the laws of this country which classify her as a prospective immigrant. Mrs, Piccolo was a school teacher in Italy. This summer she met her hushand-to-be while he was enjoying a trip to his former home 'and they were married. = The bride was classed as an alien and conse- quently an immigrant who must come under ‘the quota 'regulations.

HAFFEY Parlors 33 Myrtle St. Service Excepfional, Lady Assistant Sergeant Patrie ‘morning to POLICE ROUND UP BOLD BOY BURGLARS Three of "Em, All About 18, Incur Wrath of the Law With the arrest this afternoon three beys about 12 years of by Detective Ber William P, MeCue, MeAvay and Palice- man Patriek O'Mara, three burglaries, |one at Rackliffe Bros, store at the cor: ner of Park and' Bigelow streets last night and the others at Erickson & Johnson's on Dwight street and the H. W, Clark Biseuit Co., on Woodland sireet about four weeks ago, have Leen cleared up, The break into the Rackliffe Hros store was made at about 1 o'clock this morning and the boys have ad- mitted to the police that they secured 18 pocket knives and 10 fashlights One of the youths sald that admit- tanee w ned through a rear door which was broken, * One of the hoys, he said, put his hand through a brok- en part of the door and lifted up a lateh which opened the door, Find- ing the inner door locked a member the the gang picked up a hammer and hroke a pane of glass. They then un- locked the door from the inside and walked about the store until they found the knives and fashlights. Policeman George Collins in his nightly report stated that at about 1:30 o'clock this morning he saw some very small hoys on Stanley street noar Franklin street and gave chase, In the report the officer sald that he could not understand why the Puyn were out at such a late hour, They were a considerable distance Ahead of him and succeeded in duck- ing into backyards and evading him by fumping over fences, Sergeant M- Avay made the first arrest this morn- ing and the other two were made this afternoon by Sergeant McCue and Of- fleer O'Mara. BOY OF 12 LIVES HIGH ON THEFTS New York Youngster Robbed " His Teache New York, Oct, 8 ichool teachers to most boys of twelve are more or less hostile beings who insist upon les- sons being learned and recited, good behavior, clean hands and faces and other unpleasant things, But they supplied Harry Schobie, although un- wittingly, so he told detectives, with $700 in the past two months—and this meant hotels, taxicabs, expensive meals in restaurants and everything else comprised in his idea of a gen- eral high old time. + It's not quite fair’ perhaps to give all the credit to the teachers. Apart- ment house janitors and their wives also supplied a portion of the funds —and also unwittingly. Harry ex- plained his methods early yesterday Detectives MecCoy and Duggan of the West 162d Street sta- tlon after they arrested him at Broadway and 144th street as a Juvenile delinquent. Exposes Novel Method “I'd go into a school,” he said, “Oh, any old school would do, and go into the room of a teacher, who had the little fellows. Then I'd say, ‘The prin- cipal sent me to tell you he wants to see you in his office.’ And the teach- er would call a monitor and leave the room. “Then I'd have to work fast. I'd go back and tell the monitor, the teacher sent me for her pocketbook, and then I'd take the pocketbook and skip. Sure, it worked every time ex- cept once, when she took her pocket- book with her.” The contributions from the janitors were obtained in this way, explained Harry: “I'd go to a swell looking apartment house and ring the doorbell. Then, when the janitor was on his way to answer it, I'd skip down the areaway and go through his rooms.’ Stole $200 in One Day The boy said his best haul was in New Jersey, where in one day he got $200 and a steamship ticket to Fur- ope which he threw away. The com- plaint which led to his arrest was made by M June Thomsen, teacher in a public school at Academy strect and Broadway, who says he obtained §6 from her by the pocketbook me- thod. Harry’s family lives at No. 13903 Commonwealth Avenue, the Bronx, but he ran away from home several weeks ago, say the detectives, and was living, despite his youthful ap- pearance, at a Harlem hotel. He wears long trousers and might pass for fifteen. » “Gee, T wish T had his brains,” sighed a detective, as the boy was | turned over to the Children's Society. NEVER DRINKS WATER 01d Merrimac Fighter No Booster For Volstead Norfolk, Va.p Oct. 8.—Capt. Arthur Sinclair of Hunters, Va, a survivor of the battle between the Merrimac and Monitor, came here yesterday to take a trip to Hampton roads to look over the spot where the two ironclads met, Capt. Sinclair is 90 years old. He is in good heaith and he says he has not taken a drink of water in twenty years. He says he prefers milk to wa- ter and he sometimes takes a touch of moonshine. Capt. nclair was one of the erew of the ) rimac. He is a great fish- erman, and walks many miles at times just to go fishing for trout. A few .days ago he walked from his house to 8nake Den Run, a distance of four miles, and then two miles along the bank of a creek in search of fish. FLIM FLAMMERS ESCAPE.

EXPERIMENTS CUT FLYING PERILS Research Just Finished Will Improve Airplane Designs and Make 'For Safety, ‘Washington, Oct. 8~—Important experiments intended to determine the A B C of aviation safety have been completed by the national ad- visory committee for aeronautics. These experiments have extended over two years and have dealt with cvery phase of alrship construction. The experiments were not merely to determine what types of engine and body construction were the most safe, economical and efficient, but also to determine with scicntific accuracy the strain in flight. It was the first attempt on a large scale to clasgify all factors that in- fluence the performance of an air- ;shlp, and out of its study there prob-’ ably will result important advances in design, construction and the utili- zation of engine power, all tending to diminish the perils of flying. % The national advisory committee is composed of outstanding engineers nd scientists from military and ecivil life. It has the status of a special I bureau under an act of congress and has been unhampered by the air branches of the army or navy proper. The findings of the board have not been made public, but will be avail- able to 'the war and navy depart- ments, where such information is sought cagerly because of the compe- tition in aerial forces now in prog- ress between the major powers.
