LEIGH FOR G. P. 0.
Former Public Printer NAY

TAFT CONSIDERS THE CHANGE
DOnneIIy Is Reported to Be slated
for Assistant SecretaryShIp of Com
merce and LnbOr-FindingS of the
Special Investigates 10 BE Made
Public I'm n Few Days.

Persistent Tumors were afioat yesterday
70 the effect that John S. Leech will be
reappointed as Public Printer.
One Of the first things attempted by
President Taft after his Inauguration
was 10 delegate one Of his personal ad-
visers 10 make an investigation OF the
records OF both Mr. Leech and the pres
ent incumbent
1t was limited at the time OF Mr.. Leech' s
removal that the President-eIect was
disturbed over the sudden change. 1t has
now developed that Mr.. Taft viii prob
ably reappoint the former Public Printer
OF the Philippines and name Samuel b
Donnelly 10 be Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce and Labor.
Mr. Leech stated al the time OF MS
resignation that he would Immediately
prepare 20 return 10 Manila and resume
his former position. That was IN No
vemoer. but Mr. Leech is stiu in Wash
ington' and his appearance IS said e
give credence 10 the report.
The findings Of President Taft's specia'
investigator viii be made public IN a
rev days. They Will set forth that q
great injustice was done 10 Mr.. Leech n
MS removal and Will recommend that
ne be again made Public Printer.
Served Few Months
John s Leech succeeded Charles A.
stillings. who was discharged after ar
investigation by President Roosevelt. Mr.
Leech arrived from the Philippines. and
assumed his new duties on June 9 OF las,
year. He had held Office less than six
months. when Mr.. Donnelly, OF New
York. who had served as an adviser Il
Mr.. Roosevelt in labor affairs. was sp-
pointed.
Some delay was experienced IN gettine
the Senate TO confirm his nomination. i,
being said that the New York Senator's
had not been consulted in his selection.
After several weeks OF wrangling Don
nelly was confirmed
Friends OF Mr. Leech lost no time IN
pleading the cause with the new incumbent
OF the White House. and pointed TO hls
record as Public Printer as the chief
argument why he should be reappOinted
He accomplished in FIVE months what
paid contractors had unsuccessfullv Al
tempted for almost two years. and FOR
which they were paid more than 500 coo
Mr.. Leech put into effect a uniform
fixed scale Of charges that Is still ir
vogue under the new administration. Dis
satisfied with the methods employed By
his predecessor to ascertain how the ap-
propriations for the Office were ex-
pended. Mr. LeeCh reorganized that
branch OF the department, and reformed
the auditing bureau.
Another point that is advanced in favor
OF Mr.. Leech's reappointment is the
friendship displayed toward him by the
employees Of the big pvintery. and the
harmony between his control and the Ia
Dor unions.
Samuel 3. Donnelly. is said 10 be
slated for the Assistant Secretaryship Of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor
also stands high in the estimation OF
President Taft, and Is one Of the labor
leaders who supported the Republican
ticket In the last campaign.

HOURS OF LABOR.
Attorney General Says Law Docs Noi Affect Clerical Work-Question One For Courts to Determine.

Attorney General Marcus HI. Hol- comb has given an opinion to Factory Inspector George l.. Mclean in regard to the hours of employment of minors and women in which he says that in his opinion the new law does not ap- ply to those women or minors engaged in clerical work. In his opinion he says:
 Section makes restrictions as to employment of minors under Is years and women laboring in any mercan- tile establishment.
 The language used in each section and women laboring in any mecan- lishment' or "in any mercantile es- tablishment"
 It is well known that the physically exhausting character of labor in op- erating machines and machinery in manufacturing and mechanical es- tablismments. and in stores where the operators and employees are constantly on their feet, is what caused the en- actments of statutes of this nature. There is no such demand for legisla- tion concerning the restriction of la bor in that class of business where the labor is all of a clerical nature, and where the workers is not required to be constantly on his feet. The stat ute doesn't attempt to include all
 
 firm or individual carrying on any manufacturing, mechanical or mer- cantile establishment, but it is limited to those employed fin laboring in" such establishments, and the provis- ions of said statute relating thereto leads me to the conclusion that the general assembly had in mind and that the act only pertains to those who labor in the manufacturing, me- chanical or mercantile departments of such establishments, and has no re- ference to the employees in the cleri- cal work incident to such enterprises. The clerical force in such establish ments would frequently not be 1 per cent. of the employees, while in many industries all of the employees are en- gagged in clerical work, and whose em- ployment is not restricted or regu- lated by any statute.
 Of course the question of the appli- cation of this statute is one for the courts to determine, but so far as it is proper for me to advise you with reference to your official action I say to you that in my opininon this statute does not refer to and include in its provisions employees in offices engaged in clerical work, although such work pertains to that carried on in manu- featuring, mechanical or mercantile es- tablishments. Respectfully submitted.

 Attorney General.

Ex-Governor George H. Utter of Westerly, at the dinner following the 152d annual communication of St. Johns lodge of Masons in Newport Monday night, gave plain talk about the responsibilities of citizenship. He dwelt briefly on public opinion and pointed out how it was being moulded in the public schools newspapers and magazines. He decried the method of the magazines in vanishing the truth in such a way that their articles would sell and declared there was much dan ger in it. At the office of the secretary of state Tuesday the Westerly Nurse associa- ton was incorporated. Its purpose is to give the sick end especially those of limited means the best nursing under existing circumstances. The incor- porators are Charles Perry, Samuel Cathcart. Henry L. Burdick, John Champlin, Michael H. Scanlon, Helen Segar, Ruth M. Sherman, Helen E. Pagan and Addie w. Hillard. The as- sociation was formed over a year and has been in active and satisfactory operation ever since, the maintenance fund being raised by membership dues and voluntary subscriptions. 9t. Mary's Dramatic club, composed of local amateurs, gave the annual minstrel performance for the benefit of the Church of the Immaculate Con ception before a large audience in Bliven opera house Tuesday evening and was assisted by the Westerly band.
 The jokes were numerous and in the main local hits and therefore neces- sarily fresh plucked. The whole was entertaining from start to finish and the patrons were thoroughly satisfied. The programme rendered was as fol- lows:
