DAYLIGHT SAVING
REPEAL IS AGAIN
UP TO PRESIDENT
Separate House Bill is Passed
by Senate Predicted it VIII!
Be Vetoed as Agricultural
Bill Rider Was.
tsY MORNING IouHHAl SPECIAL lr,sso WIRE,


Washington, Aug. 1.-The senate
today decided to have the proposal for
repeal of the daylight saving law
again run the gauntlet of President
Wilson's veto. BY vote of Al to II
the senate passed and sent to the pres
ident the separate house bill repeal
ing the daylight saving measure.
During brief discussion of the house
bill several senator's predicted that
the measure, like the daylight repeal
rider on the agricultural appropriation
bill, would be vetoed by the presi-
dent. The separate house bill was
passed June IS, but action in the SEN
ate was suspended until today and, in
the interim, the president vetoed the
rider and the house was unable to
enact it over the veto.
The senates action now places vir-
tually similar repeal legislation again
before the president. The only diff
ference in the vetoed rider and the
separate bill Is that the latter would
not interfere with standard zones of
time.
Senators who voted today against
the new repeal measure were
epublicans--Calder, Colt, Elkins,
Lodge, McNarry. Phipps and Suther-
land. Democrats Gerry, Phelan,
Pittman, Thomas and Walsh (Mass.)
Many democrats Joined with repub-
licans in favor of the repeal bill.
