WILEY MAY GET OFF
WITH RtPR|MAND
IMPRESSION BROUGHT OUT AT
WHITE HOUSE.
After Discussion of Case in Cabinet
Meeting.

Washington. July 1S.-Dr Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, probably will not be re-
qucsted by the president to resign
but will be reprimanded, according
to the consensus of opinion of visitors
who talked with Mr.. Taft today The
recommendation of Attorney General
Wickcrsham that DIR. Wiley be per-
mitted to resign was barely touched
upon at the cabinet meeting but the
above impression was strengthened in
the minds of callers at the White
House.
Intimations that Attorney General
Wickersham in his recommendation
exceeded his authority. were set at
rest by the president.
The president explained that he
had requested the attorney general
TO pass upon the legal question in
volved i'm the Wiley case and that
the attorney general proceeding on
this theory answered him i'm strictly
legal fashion. 1t became apparent
after the cabinet meeting that the
president will be unable to reach
a decision for several days and prob
ably not before next week.

WESTERN FEDERATION
BEGINS BUTTE SESSION
The Question of McNamara Assess
ments Comes Up Today.

Butte. Mont, July 1S.-At a session
of the Western Federation of Miners
today, a resolution making the appoint
ment Of committees from the president
and executive board was defeated by a
decisive vote. The report Of the Gre
dentials committee on the contest of a
seat from Butte occupied so much time
that President Meyers annual report
was made d special order for tomor-
row
After the presentation of Meyers
report the convention will consider a
proposition srom the American Fedora
ton of Labor to assess the membership
.25 cents per capita to raise a fund for
the defense Of the Mcnamara brothers,
imprisoned on a charge of murder in
Los Angeles.
An excited discussion ensued when
a delegate suggested that if a strict
line were drawn regarding the payment
of assessments, very few delegates
present on the floor would be entitled 10
seats. Finally. by vote of to 40. it
was decided to adopt the majority re-
port of the credentials committee.
BY the action of the convention. no
delegate is deprived of his seat and sent
home. a contingency that seemed immi-
nent at one stage of the discussion.
