Father of Daylight
Saving Law Opposes
New York City Move
Senator Calder Says Local
Ordinance Would Create
Confusion: Suggests That
Work Start Hour Earlier

Senator William M. Calder, who in
troduccd the Senate bill which for a
time established daylight saving
throughout the country, is opposed to
the Moran ordinance, pending before
the Board Of Aldermen, to restore the
practice of moving up the clock an
hour in summer within the limits of
greater New York.
In a letter to Alderman Gayuor, Of
Brooklyn, the Senator declares the
enactment of the Moran ordinance
would result in endless confusion, and
suggests instead general agreement
among business men throughout the
country to open and close an hour
earlier, without tampering with the
clock. His letter, made public ycster-
day by the National Daylight Saving
Association, further suggests ma
tional conference to bring this about.
He says:
of Mr.. Morans plan is put into ef-
feet it probably will mean that New
York City will utilize different time
schedule than the neighboring country
and at least good many of the cities
and towns nearby. That will mean no
end of confusion in the dealings Of
New York City people with those out
of town.
Railroads, of necessity, would have
to operate under the national time. for
the change would be confined to New
York City. Negotiable Instruments
would be drawn elsewhere for presen-
tation within the city at a certain
specified hour, or during business or
banking hours. and it would be d mat
ter of speculation as to when they
might be protested
II believe the different cities and
towns Of the country can effect day
light saving for themselves, without
changing the clock, by general agree
ment of the people within the different
cities to open and close the industrial
csta blshments. schools and Offices one
hour earlier from the first of May to
the 30th Of September.
The practical method to bring this
about would seem to nee to be through
the calling of d conference at an caIly
date. OF responsible heads of the mu-
nlciQal government and authorized rep
I sentatlves of the various industrial
associations. including, of course. en-
ployes' associations. If we can secure
anything like general agreement
am ong the business men and prores
slonal men and emp p'oyes, TO b gin
work an hour earlier and quit an hour
earlier. III the period indicated. the
balance Of the people of the city would
fall in line, and daylight saving would
be Ell cted without changing the clock,
and without the confusion which would
result from changing the clock locally"

"And the first unit of horned speci-

weeks and months passed without n

pany to a position of security in the

fire, this soldier and four others were
severely wounded by a bursting shell.
Realizing that his wound would prove
fatal, Corporal Brandt while being car
ried on stretcher Indicated the route
to be taken by the company, being
wounded In the face and scarcely able
to talk. Through his extraordinary
fortitude and will power, the company
was able to reach Its position over

GEORGE S. RoBB,
First Lieutenant, 36eth Infantry.

For conspicuous gallantry, beyond
the call of duty, near Sechault, France,
September 20 and 80, Lieut.. Robb
was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. While leading his platoon
in the assault on Sechault, Lieut.. Robb
was severely wounded by machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear for
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding ofii-
Ger. Returning within forty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night, inspecting his lines
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
votion to duty by remaining In com
mand of his platoon. Later the SANG
day a bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He thSn assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied its position in the trenches. Dis
phying wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jective. His example of bravery and
fOrtitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
of his command most wonderful
standard of morale and self-sacrifice.
