Description

Daylight Saving in the East: Daylight saving has now been given trial for two summers in America. It has been met with a varying degree of enthusiasm throughout the country, the farmers in general and the Westerners having raised many and strong objections, while business men and tradespeople of the East have for the most part been heartily in favor of it. New York state has already adopted the daylight saving law and likewise Philadelphia, Springfield, Worcester and other large cities. Similar action is being promoted in Massachusetts, several bills being before the legislature, one of which is expected to become a law. With many of the large cities continuing to act in accordance with the present standard time and many making use of the daylight-saving summer time much confusion is sure to result. It is the general opinion that if, in spite of the farmers, cities continue to adopt the law, Congress will be likely to take action and declare daylight saving during the summer months for the eastern section of the country where the sentiment is greatly in favor of such action.
