CAR men TOLD TO SAY NOTHIN G

Leicester, July 19.-Oficials of the
worcester & Suburban followed up a
plan of posting orders which did not
look well when printed in daily news
paper by warning reporters to keep out
OF the lobby at the power station and
or of the premises of the company. This
edict was promulgated by Inspector
David L. Beaulieu, and this afternoon
ne notified the representatives of two
worcester newspapers that they were
requested to keep out of the station and
on the company's grounds.
ms action was brought on by the
punIlshing of an order posted Saturday
nlght which requested conductors to
call out the destinations of their cars
at each terminus and to avoid sitting on
thelr controller boxes, as in that posi-
ton 1t was thought they could not see
the passengers.
Yesterday Conductor John Green was
notlhed that he was given a day to rest
as ne was found sitting on the control
Ter pox OF his car while at work. Breen
claims he was not in that position.
Car men were given the quiet tip to
nave nothing whatever to say to re-
porters, ana the foreman of the barn
was told to keep his mouth shut when
| reporters were around.
Although Inspector Beaulieu gave the
order, it is fair to assume that Super
lntendent John B. O'Gorman is behind
| him.
1t is said that oGorman has been
requested by Col S. E. Winslow, gen
eral manager and president of the
| board of directors, to send to his office
at the State Mutual building copies of
all orders posted since his election as
| president, six months ago. Mr.. Winslow
IS said 70 be opposed to some of the or
ders, and his action shows he could not
| nave been aware of the import OF or
GERS for the conduct of the men posted
by Mr.. O'Gorman.
Sergt. Thomas H. Leonard of Co. K,
Twelfth U. S. infantry, now stationed
| near Manila, has written a letter to his
sisters, Misses Mary, Ellen and Katie
Leonard of Leicester. They received
1t Tuesday but the epistle was mailed
May 30. The Leicester boys regiment
is now stationed six miles out of Ma
Mia, doing garrison duty. He writes
that as regiments have been ordered
home from the front he expects to see
active service soon.
Grocery stores did no business today,
and everybody who felt the need of
salt breeZes was a member of the but
cheers and grocers' excursion. A party
of IS took a special car from Spencer
this morning at O'clock and another
carload went from Leicester. Among
those who went were Miss Lizzie Leon
ard Miss Kate Barrett, William Bar
rett, E. L. Scott and wife, H. c. Evans
and wife, John H. O'Connor, Arthur r.
Smith and wife, Arthur Scott Robert
Asnworth and wife, Edward Lamb and
Wife, Mr.. S. Snow, Arthur Brown, H.
NJ Circuit, and George Drabble.
