 FOR LAND co.
Walter B. Lashar Was Di- rector in Fairfield Realty
 Concern.

No receiver will be appointed for the Fairfield Park Land Co.,, it was decided today by Judge Curtis of the superior court. James J. O'Brien of this city filed a petition for a re- ceiver, declaring that he owns 190 shares of the company's stock and had been unable to get an accounting from Trea surer Percy P. Anderson. O'Brien said the assets of the com pany were in danger of waste.
 The company owns a tract of land in Fairfield which is said to be worth about $50,000. O'Brien said he fur nfshed $20,00o of the capital stock, the total of which was s50.000. The board of directors consisted of O'Brien, Anderson and Walter B. Lashar, who owned 150 shares of stock. It is said that Lashar subse- quently withdrew from the concern.
 Judge Curtis decided that the dis pute should be tried in court before receiver is appointed. He will hear counsel on June 1 8 regarding the ap pointment of a committee to hear tes- timony in the case.

Many of the workers corresponded with Washing ton, causing a delay and consequent loss of their rights Tt is my opin- ion," continued MT.

AGAINST
 DAYLIGHT SAVING
Resolution Pro test in 2 Against Repeal
 Defeated.

Atlantic City, N. J.. June 1o--A resolution protesting against repeal by congfess of the daylight saving law was defeated at today's session of the American Federation of La bor.
 It was voted down after a spirited fight had been launched agaIrst it by delega tes, especially from Ohio and the southwest who said it worked a hardship not only upon labor, but in- terferred with work upon farms.
 Many delegates said daylight saw ing had been used by employees to cut down expenses and to make men work overtime.
 Advocates of the resolution pointed to the additional recreation made available to workingmen through the law.
 T. w. Mccullough reminded the federation that it had done nothing toward organizing farm hands, while the I. W. w. was busy enlisting farm laborers to their ranks.
 Harvey w. R<own of Newark, N. J., delegate of the Machinists. said organized labor would accomplish more if it let daylight take care of itself and devoted it's effort to getting a six hour day for workingmen.
