OF Congress has been killed by the
attitude of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
Congressman DalIinger of Massa-

the clocks ahead an hour in the East.
has been given to understand that
the committee docs not intend TO take
any action on his measure at this
time.
"'t seems a pity that the East
should be made to suffer for the sell
fishness of Western States" Mr.. Dal.
linger declared today. II do not ex-
pect to get any action during this
session. but we will try for such law
next year"
Congressman Dallinger had been
promised a weeks notice to notify
heads of chambers OF commerce in
the great cities OF the East to appear
at the hearings on his bill. Instead
OF being given such a notice, he had
only a few hours time yesterday
In which to prepare lone fight in
support of his measure.
II a referendum vote is taken on
the question of daylight saving, Mr..
Dallinger declared, 1t would be car.
ried by practically 80 per cent of the
people in the Essts.
Chairman Esch. of the Interstate
Committee. declared that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission could
rescind its former action in including
Toledo. Ohio, as the farthest Western
point in the Eastern district and re-
store the line to Pittsburgh. Pa. BY
this method he claimed the opposi-
tion to daylight saving in eastern
Ohio would be removed and the bill
finally would have better chance TO
pass.

MEN TOO UNBELIABLE

First there came the men to
operate elevators: then the men
went on TO war and there came
the women: then the men came
back from war and the women
left the elevators: now the men
are tired OF 'elevating" and the
women are coming back.
Such 10 the history of elevator
operators as given out by Will
liam j. Evans. District elevator
Inspector. today. Evans. who Is
strong for women as elevator
operators. says the business not
only has it's ups and downs" but
, Its "ins and outs"
''The men are getting tired OF
running elevators" he says. "the
pay Is too small. They won't
take these jobs when they can
earn two and three times as much
on the outside. But the women
are satisfied to run elevators"
Mes Too Careless.

ed upon TO get to work on time.
but they are more attentive to
their duties. Most OF them are
rather afraid. unconsciously,
however, OF elevators and are al
ways careful. On the other
hand. some men arc rather care
less"
In most OF the department
stores women are employed on
elevators. office buildings hire
men. The Munsey building was
one OF the first places to change
back to women.
Men elevators came and left
so frequently that the manage
ment decided the women were
best, being dependable.
With the return OF women
comes that same old question:
Should men take of their hats
when entering an elevator with a
woman operatorT Some men do.
others do not.
Which Is "su fsit." There is
no general rule, and those who
are dubious about II always re-
move their hats rather than to
be wrong or to have others think
they're wrong.
And Inspector Evans wants to
know:
How long will the woman be
with us? What change in condi-
tions will bring the men back?
He says he doesn't know; that
