Special Despatch to THE srN.


! WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The House
refused to-day to make a second at
tempt to repeal daylight saving over
the Presidents veto.
After the House Agricultural Com
| mittee had reported a second agricul-
tural appropriations bill under orders
from Republican leaders in practically
the same form as the one the Presi-
| dent vetoed, the House, by a vote OF
| rider repeating the daylight saving
| law and then passed the bill without a
| record vote.
| The only difference between the bill
! passed to-day and the one the President
vetoed was that the latter knocked out
| the daylight saving law. The President 8
objections to the previous act rested
against the repeal of the daylight law
and there was little doubt that he would
| have vetoed the second bill had it been
sent to him with the repeating rider.
The favorable vote for daylight saw
| ing to-day was accomplished by seven
! ty-nine Republicans who favored the
| Republicans boiling from their party
leadership and voting with the ma
| jority of the Democrats, who contended
that Ii another effort is made to repeal
the daylight act 1t must be through a
| separate bill and VT through rider on
an appropriation I'LL.
Answer on Agricultural Bill.
| They asserted that the action OF the
House Monday in sustaining the Presi-
| dents veto should be the final answer
on the agricultural bill and that the
measure should not now be delayed to
embarrass the Department. Many Demo-
Gratis who voted against the President
| Monday to-day went on record for the
daylight act.
The boiling of the seventy-nine Re-
publicans after the Republican steering
committee approved the plan to try to
push the bill through the House a second
time has alarmed many Republicans.
Murmurings were heard that James 4.
Mann should be called back from Chi
| cago to take charge of the party. Rep
rescntative Madden tIll) tonight de-
MED that any call had been sent to Mr..
Mann or was contemplated
The rider that was stricken out was
| offered by Representative Moore (Pa.) 4,
| Republican. 1t was first approved by
vote OF 165 to 1928 by the House in
! committee of the whole and then on a
1
| Representative Mclaughlin mich J.,
ranking Republican on the Agricultural
| Committee, strongly opposed the passage
| of the bill with the daylight saving re-
peal.
After the effort to pass the bill over
| the Presidents veto failed" he said, I'VE
| should respect the veto and not throw
| II back in his face again. This bill
should be passed without the rider be-
cause all the funds for the Department
| OF Agriculture are held UP and many
employees are suffering from lack OF
| funds.
| Hope OF Antts in Separate Bill.
The responsibility for this will rest
| upon Congress and i am not willing TO
assume 1t. II the repeal OF the act is
| now desired a separate bill should be
| passed, sent to the President and then
| passed over his veto"
Republican leader Mondell (Wyo.)
| urged passage of the rider because the
| majority of the people of the country are
Representatives Haugen Gowa)
| Greene elowa). Tincher (Kan.) and
| others, favoring the repeal. asserted Con-
| gress was justified in holding up the
| agricultural appropriations because the
| President in vetoing the original measure
! did not represent the sentiment of the
| country.
Opponents Of daylight saving now
| plan to try to repeal the daylight act
| by having the Senate adopt the Esch
| bill, already passed by the House
| The House acted on daylight saving
to-day under special rule from the
| Rules Committee. II was reported by
| the committee on a strictly party vote.
| Democrats failed in efforts TO prevent
| consideration of the bill by vote of
| 201 to III.
