the electorate OF the City or Detroit AT
the coming spring election the question
OF the adoption OF Eastern In place OF
Central STANDARD Time.
Central Standard Time has always
proved a hardship TO the workingmsn.
Most shops and factories have never
adopted same for their working hours
but have adopted the so-calier split
hour system. Evening gatherings or all
kinds begin At the same hour oy the
clock as formerly. This means that
thousands of workingmen must either
deprive themselves Of social recreation
in the evening or be deprived OF ohe-half
hour OF sleep. In cases where the even
hour system has been adopted u means
workingmen are deprived OF opportun-
tiles for out-of-door recreation which Is
of Immense importance TO them during
many months OF the year, as DARKNESS
comes earlier by the clock than former
ly.
BY the adoption OF Eastern STANDARD
the even hour system would again prevail
and there would be no loss OF sleep as
AT present Further, II would add one
half hour more Of available daylight at
the close OF the day. every day OF the
wear as daylight would last one hour lat
