LEISURE TINE IN DAYLIGHT
Under New Plan Factories Would Start
Work at What Is Now 6 O'Clock A.
M. and Close an Hour Earlier in Aft
ernoon Kenosha May be Pioneer

Are all the clocks in Kenosha to be
set. back an hour9 Is Kenosha to adopt
an entirely new schedule for life ami
work? Is Kenosha to be a leader liz
a big movement to wipe out the diff
ferences of time between the east and
the west by the adoption Of eastern
timeg These are the big questions that
are now being agitated among the
manarn~s of great manufacturing con-
Germs in Kenosha and it is not i'm
probable that before another month i
over Kenosha factories will all decide
to turn back The clock hands for az
hour and that eastern time will be
adopted to regulate the workers Of
Kenosha. Of course all lines of bust
ness in the city will follow the change.
Leading manufacturers of the citv
have for some time been agitating the
change with a view Of giving daylight
leisure hours to the people of Kenosha
who are employed in the plants. For
more than century there has been
differences of time between the east
and the west and the change from
eastern to central time has been made
at Buffalo. Farther west there are
still further changes in time, but Ke-
nosha is not interested in these changes.
Under the new schedule that has
been suggested the factory whistles
I'D sxenosgass would blow an hour earlier,
breakfast would be at FIVE instead Of
six o'clock, luncheon would come at
eleven and dinner at five, but the
changes would be changes of the clock
dial Under this plan men who have
been going to work at eight O'Clock
by the sun would go to work at seven
and the working day would end at
what is now four o'clock in the after.
noon permitting the workmen and the
men who play to have longer day of
daylight. No cities in the central part
of the country have as yet adopted
eastern time, but the movement to
adopt the schedule is being discussed
in many places Some Of the leading
manufacturers of Kenosha have taken
an interest in the movement and they
believe that Kenosha could change
from central to eastern time without
any great confusion. The most serious
drawback to the plan is the fact that
all railway trains in this section CT
the country are operated on centra.
time. This would make all trains
leave an hour later according to Ke-
nosha clocks, but it is declared that
within short time the people of the
city would become accustomed to The
change in the time and that the opss
alton of trains would cause no confu-
sion Of course the change would
make Kenosha an hour earlier than
any other place in Wisconsin, but at
that Kenosha has always been JUST a
little ahead of her sister cities in the
state. The only person who would OBJ
ject seriously to the change is the man
who is accustomed to stay up all night
and sleep until late in the morning.
It is understood that the. PROPOSE
ton for chance in time is to be TAX
en- up at the next meeting Of the
Manufacturer s Association and in tie
meantime the matter is being taken
up informally by the managers Of
these plants.

WAS IN RACINE SUNDAY.
Henry Padden Killed by Train North
of City Was Down and OUTER

The remains Of the man cut to pieces
by a North Western train south of Ber-
ryville on Monday night were fully
identified this morning as those of
Henry Padden formerly of Chicago.
The Identification was made by Sheriff
George Wherry of Racine. Padden had
been in the Racine tramp room on Sat
urday night and Sunday and he had left
his pocketbook in the keeping of the
sheriff. In this pocketbook was mem
orial card which established the iden-
tity of Padden. Wherry had a long
talk with the man and he told a hard
luck story and admitted that he was
down and out. He was decidedly de-
spondent when he left Racine and there
is little doubt but that the case was one
of suicide. No arrangements have as
yet been made for the funeral of the
man.
