MANY CHANGES IN COOLIDGE CABINET
Shift Expected to Take Place
 Alter March 4
BY CHARLES r. STEWART (\EA Service WrItcr)

Washington, Dec. l0, - White House statements that President Coolidge will make only one cabinet change March ( undoubtedly are true, literally, but inside dope" is that he will make quite a number not long after that date,
 Probably they will not be made in bunch, That would be too ob- yiously a "shakeup."
 But for ono ostensiblo reason after another, secretary after secretary will drop out until, perhaps in the course of year, at least six or seven portfolios will be in new hands.
 , Technically it would have been perfectly proper for the president to have reorganized the cabinet when he entered the White House on President Harding's death, but 1t wouldn't have been good politics, His correct move was to continue the Harding policies up to the end of his term, and he made 1t. Good of Party On no ground whatever could he be criticized If he put In an entirely new set Of men March and il ! might not do him, personally. any harm. Possibly, however it wouldn't ' be altogether for the partys good It might suggest that the chief executive had been dissatisfied all along as he could,
 Very likely consideration for the individual cabinet members feelings counts. too, It will be plcasanter for them to appear to quit naturally than to have everybody know that they have been dropped.

Rome Pleased With
 Coming of JugOslays

Rome, Dec. 19.--A report that the Jugoslav sovereigns, King Alexender and Queen Marie, intend to visit Rome next February as the guest of King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena, Is causing satisfaction here. It is hoped that this visit, as a tan- gible sign of friendship between the two reigning houses, may dissipate any remaining clouds in the relations between the two countries.
 Under the circumstances, it is ex- pected that the Jugoslav king and queen will receive a warmer recep- ton than any sovereigns who have recently visited the quirinal. The Jugoslav rulers intend to visit the Pope, as the Holy See has a Nun cio at Belgrade.

 Oppose Child Labor Bill.
 r Resolutions attacking the proposed child labor amendment to the con stitution as tending to make idlers of American boys who might other wise become useful and working citi- 2cns were passed at meeting Of ! the executive board Of the Society of Master House Painters and Decor ators of Connecticut held yesterday afternoon in the Buritt hotel. The | following was adopted unanimously: Whereas, wc.l-Enown educators have frequently stated that moro than 75 per cent of the boys finish ing the eighth grade are not suffi- ciently hook-minded to benefit their attending high school, and
 "Whereas. the building trades and other mechanical trades are sadly lacking in apprentices, and these boys who arc not book minded would have the opportunity of becoming ucsful members of society and good citizens by being apprenticed to mo- chaniCal trades or taking courses in properly managed trade schools after completing the eighth grade. AS it has been proved that good mechanics have a greater earning-power than is offered by the so-called white collar" jobs, which a high school education leads up to, therefore
 Be it resolved that we are oppos' cd to the proposed child labo' amendment to the constitution of the United States, the aim of which seems to be to keep boys in schoo and forbid them to engage in any gainfuI occupation before they are 16 years of age and which would therefore injuriously affect every mechanical trade and moreover would tend to make our American boys. who are mechanically inclined Iidlers and useless members of society rather than the good and useful citl' zens they might otherwise become
