special meeting Of the executive com
mittee Of the Washington Chamber OF
Commerce was held yesterday afternoon
( 10 consider the "daylight-saving" prOpo-
sition which enthusiastic Cincinnatians
have been pushing so vigorously. II was
! suggested that during certain months Of
( the spring and summer the people Of
Washington be asked 10 set forward their
clocks one hour, thus bringing about
change Of custom which would start work
an hour earlier in the gay and give them
an hour more OF daylight for pleasure in
J The afternoon.
| a. Leftwich Sinclair opposed the prOpO-
sition outright. holding that it would be
productive Of confusion and difficulties
galore. which would more than Offset any
benafits which Il might bring about.
Allen d. Albert combated these fears.
and gave brief history OF the new move
ment. showing that where IL had been
put into operation it had worked well and
benefcially.
Believes scheme Has Merits.
Cuno H. Rudolph said he had orig
inaliy been inclined 10 look lightly upon
the idea, but upon investigation he had
become convinced Of its merits
Mr.. Guide was frankly OF the opinion
that nothing was TO be gained by such
change. aDd Capt oyster was inclined 10
take this view.
After some further discussion a motion
/ BY Mr. Sinclair was adopted by vote
/ Of three 10 Two declaring II ''inezpedi-
/ ent 10 undertake a change IN time in
I Washington" now.
