CALLS HEARING ON E. DAYLIGHT SAVING
New Haven People Show Strong Sen-

New Haven, Nov. 11.--Alderman Thomas Brown, chairman of the spe- cial daylight saving committee ap- pointed by the board of aldermen, will probably call a hearing for tomorrow night on the matter The hearing upon the revival of the daylight say ing act will attract, it iS expected, d large number who favor some leglSla- tive action toward shortening the working day. The manufacturers ot the city are strongly in favor Of a re- viVal of the law and representatives will be present to urge the committee to recommend it to the board or alder men. Their interest in it IS based as much upon the economy ot the meas ure as their interest for the cmploNe:i. One hours time at the end or the day saved to them, means a saving m daN- light, and, therefore. q saVlng Ill 1ucl and lighting expenses.
 Employees of many of the nanufac- tories of the city have even made the suggestion to their employers that they be allowed to go to work at 6 o'clock in the morning, instead of { o'clock, and quit work at o'clock, while it is yet light, so keen are they fer the benefits of daylight saving Elm ployers of office help are also in fla Nor of a return to tho system of prac- tlce during the War.- . ,-
 There is no doubt that the commit tee will recommend the measure to the board of aldermen, which will pass vote unholding Mayor IitzGcrald in his attitude of approval.
