GENTLEMEN PROTEST
 AGAINST ROUND-UP

MORALES. Ariz., June 1S.-At a meeting of the Southwestern Cattle Growers association held here today, attended by 70 members, a resolution was adopted and forwarded to Paul Pitchelyn, supervisor of the Coronado national forest, protesting against the plan of forestry officials to round up cattle for a government count, and to levy fines for surplus stock found on the ranges.
 Cattlemen who attended the meeting stated that conditions on the ranges are such that loss will be sustained if the roundup is carried out, and that there is no place to Sraze cattle. even if surplus is found. They said that forestry officers attended the recent roundup in this section and contend the count should have been made at that time.
 Speakers declared the association
 was willing to cooperate with forestry
 officials and if at any time the cattle | can be worked without loss, they would 1 be willing to have the recount. l The system of assessing fines was 1 condemned and the opinion expressed 1 that under the forest administration i no effort had been made to protect l the range, develop water or regulate l grazing.
 The meeting, which was attended by | cattlemen from Cochise, Pima and
 Santa Cruz counties. was called by ] Supervisor Bertrand of Tucson, presi- dent of the association, in whose ab- 1 sence Harry Saxon. former cattle in 1 spector of Santa Cruz county pre- 1 sided

DAYLIGHT. SAVING LAW |S REPEA[EO

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Doom ot daylight saving, inaugurated as a war measure, was pronounced today by congress. both senate and house adopt ing overwhelming measures to termi- nate operation of the law when the period of summer time ends next Oc- tober 26
 The house by a vote of 2S3 to 1S2 passed a bill to repeal the law on the last Sunday in next october, but re- jected an amendment to make the repeal effective at once.
 The senate. by a vote of 56 to G., added a rider to the agricultural ap- propriatiOn bill. providing for repeal of the daylight saving measure on the same date fixed by the house bill.
 The senate measure goes to confer ence with the agricultural bill and the house bill is to be sent to the senate. It is considered likely an amendment will be finally substituted for the house measure.
 Members of both senate and house, in advocating repeal of the law, en- acted March 19, 1918, said they were guided largely by wishes of farmers and laboring men, who opposed the advanced working hours during the spring and summer season. Opponents i of the repeal legislation declared the l extra hour of daylight was a boon to | city dwellers and asserted others easily ] could adjust their affairs to conform to i the advanced clock schedule. The six senators who voted against the rider
