LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers OF Labor Give Cor.
dial Endorsement to the daylight
saving Proposition.

Inquiries in the leading centerS of
industry indicate that the operation of
the summertime act is, among other
results, having the effect of increasing
the output in shipyards and engineer
ing works, says the London Times. On
the northeast coast some of the yards
have been able to arrange additional
spells of daylight overtime, and in
other establishments there has been
an increase in output owing to the fact
that there are in the aggregate large
number of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid Of
artificial light and with a lessened
sense of fatigue.
If statistics can be kept which will
enable comparisons to be Instituted be-
tween the output of the present sum-
mer and the corresponding period Of
last year 1t is believed that the COM
parisOn will be all to the advantage OF
the present year.
Additional evidence of the benefit Of
the act from the industrial standpoint
comes from the railways. 1t has been
stated in the official organ of the Ma
tiOnal Union of Railwaymen that the
alteration of the clock has been fol-
lowed by an improvement in the work
ing Of long-distance night goods trims.
1t has been found that the extra hour
Of daylight has enabled the trains to
be made UP and loaded in less time,
and there is general feeling in rail-
way circles that fhe summertime act
should come into permanent operation,
as it would enable tie work Of railway
goods yards to be conducted with
greater rapidity and safety.
A point which seems to appeal to the
men who are on an eight-hour shift is
that, whatever the turn Of duty to
which they are assigned, they either
begin or finish work in daylight. This
may seem to be small and unimpor-
tant matter, but the fact that it has
caused comment among large body
of workers reveals an unexpected d.
rection in which putting working hours
in advance Of solar time has proved
beneficial.
