mand of Middle West
Farmers.

rural sections of the country, both the
senate and the house voted to repeal
| the daylight saving law.
The senate adopted the repeal by
vote of 56 to 6; the house by a vote Of
233 to I'D. As adopted by the senate
the repeal takes effect on October 20:
! as adopted by the house it becomes eff
Iective October 30. A conference be-
tween the two houses probably will be
necessary to adjust this difference of
time.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin Of
Tered the repeal in the senate. He said
he would have preferrd to make it eff
fective much earlier, but had deferred
to the wishes of some of his colleagues,
who feared that much confusion would
result from changing the time before
October 20.
Vehement Protest Is Made.
Senator Williams of Mississippi pro-
tested vehemently against the action.
He was growing tired" he said, of
the senate's constant usurpations.
1T is trying to usurp the authority
OF the executive and the authority of
the states, and now it is trying to
usurp the authority of Good Almighty
himself by attempting to Interfere with
the time" Senator Williams said.
The only votes against the repeal in
the senate We're those of Senator Cal
der of New York, Senator Newberry of
Michigan, Senator Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey, Senator Page of Vermont.
Senator Phipps of Colorado and Sena-
tor Robinson of Arkansas.
An amendment presented by Repre-
sentative Bland of Indiana to make
the repeal effective Immediately was
defeated in the house by a vote of 10
to 2O3, and another by Representative
Wheeler Oh Illinois, making it effective
ten days after signed by the president,
also was rejected
Big Help to Farmers.
Representative Esch of Wisconsin.
chairman of the committee on inter
state and foreign commerce, was in
charge of the bill. He declared that
the farmers of the middle West were
unanimously demanding the repeal Of
the law on the ground that it advanced
the milking hour to an unreasonable
time and cut short the last end of the
working day when conditions were
most favorable for work in the fields.
Others who spoke for the repeal in
cluded Representative Sweet of Iowa,
Kndtson of Minnesota, Sanders of In
diana and Campbell of Kansas.
'"Thls is a war measure and should
be Immediately repealed" Mr.. Camp
bell said 1T has helped nobody, has
saved nothing, but has Inconvenience
many people.
"Those who are in favor of cont4n-
uing this law now that the war is over
are deceiving themselves and the pub
lic."
Representative Sims of Tennessee
led the opposition to the repeal. He
was supported by Representative Ware
and Moore of Pennsylvania, La Guar
dia of New York and others.
