to this point under very unusual cir

Congress appropriated Sc. 100000
to build a fleet If merchant vessels
with which to meet the emergency of
war. and the President designated the
Emergency Fleet Corporation as his
agent to carry out this construction

and vast new yards were constructed.

DOUBT THE REPEAL Of
DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW
Senator's Advocating Agriculture
Bill Rider Said to Admit There
Is Small Hope.

The effort to kill the daylight saw
ing law through congressional action
appears today to be doomed to fall
ure. Senators who favor the rider"
repeating the daylight saving law
attached to the agriculture appro-
priation bill by the Senate committee
on agriculture admitted that they
saw little chance of the riders get
ting through.
Senator Gore, chairman of the com
mittee on agriculture, which reported
the rider, was not hopeful that the
rider would become law. The sugges-
ton was made that if it went out of
the agriculture appropriation bin on
a point of order the committee on ag-
riculture would add it as an amend
ment To the bill providing the money
authorizing pay to the farmers for
the guaranteed price of their wheat for
the 1918 and 1919 crops, and that a
point of order would not lie against
it if attached to that measure. How
ever. the committee on agriculture re-
ported out the wheat bill and did not
attempt to place the daylight saving

Reason for Omission.

The committee did not wish to
jeopardize the wheat price guarantee
bill by adding the daylight saving
repeal proposition to it, said Senator
Gore. We know that there will be
strong opposition to the rider
Hundreds of kilograms opposing the
repeal of the daylight saving law
reached senators today from their
constituents. Senator Calder said
that he must have received almost
five hundred such kilograms. Many
letters also are reaching the senators
opposing the repeal.
The senators are beginning to
learn how the people back home feel
about the daylight saEing law" said
Senator Calder, and the opposition
to the repeal is growing stronger
hour by hour I urge those who are
interested in preserving the daylight
saving law to telegraph or write to
their representatives in the Senate
opposing the repeal"
