DAYLIGHT-SA HYlVG BILL

President.
rBy Associa ted Press

WASH1NGTON. August 1.-The SEN
ate today decided to have the proposal
Tor repeal of the daylight saving law
again run the gauntlet of President
Wilson'S veto. BY a vote of II 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, everal Senator's predicted that the
measure. like the daylight repeal rider
on the agricultural appropriation bill.
would be vetoed by the President. The
separate House bill WAS passed June
is. but action in the Senate was sus-
pended until today, and, in the interim
the President vetoed the rider and
the House was unable to enact it over
the veto.
The Senate's action now places vir-
tuaily 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.
