At the district court in Salem, 
Tuesday the cases of Lemuel West 
and Frank Goodwin, charged with 
breaking and entering, came up. 
West pleaded guilty and was hela 
in $1000 for the April term of the 
Superior court at Newburyport. 
yoodwin pleaded not guilty and was 
veld in $2000. Besides entering the 
Devens house at Manchester, it has 
been found that the Heard cottage 
on the Norman’s Woe road at Mag- 
nolia and the Geo. L. Hamilton 
house nearby have been entered, and 
some of the goods recovered have 
been recognized by these people. 
Both Dr. Heard and Mr. and Mrs. 
Hamilton were down to Manchester 
last Saturday and afterwards went 
to Gloucester to look over the goods 
held in the police station there. 
Chief of Police Sullivan is still of 
the opinion that these two men are 
responsible for much of the trouble 
in connection with breaks the past 
six months, and hopes more of the 
articles recovered will be recog- 
nized.

Miss Parker and Miss Bragdon of 
the High school faculty entertained

Mrs. Harry Floyd, was home from 
Cambidge over the week-end, 
the guest of her parents, Mr. and 
Mrs: F. B. Rust, at their home ona 
School st. Mr. Floyd was a guest of 
K. A. Filene at a skiing and snow- 
shoeing party at Weston from Sat-

L. W. Floyd, proprietor of the 
stationery store on Central street, 
appeared before the legislative com- 
mittee on labor at the State House, 
Monday and spoke against a bill 
which provides that employees en- 
caged in any commercial occupa- 
tion, or in the work of any indus- 
trial process, or in the work of 
transportation or communication 
shall be given one day of rest in 
seven. The Massachusetts Civie Al- 
liance has petitioned for the bill, 
which calls for an amendment to the 
present law, which reads that except 
in cases of emergency, it shall not 
be lawful for any person, partner- 
ship, association or corporation to 
require these employees to work on 
the Lord’s Day. The Civie Alliance 
requests that the words ‘‘or per- 
mit’’, be placed after the word “‘ 
quire.’’ Mr. Floyd spoke about the 
proposed amendment from his 
standpoint as a newspaper dealer 
and he said that Sunday newspapers 
had come to stay, that someone 
must deliver them to the public and 
that from his own experience in sell- 
ing daily papers as well as Sunday 
papers, he knew it to be the best 
policy to hire the same boy for Sun- 
day delivering as for the daily work, 
as he knew the route. He said also 
that it would be a hardship for the 
dealer to hire a separate boy for 
Sunday work. The man who works 
hard all day, he admitted, needs to 
rest one day out of the seven, but 
this does not apply to all cases.
