Municipal Daylight
Saving
FARMERS WON'T
OBSERVE LAW

Daylight saving. which becomes ef.
fective here the last Sunday OF this
month. Is liable to develop a legal
tangle between the United States Gov

The action OF the City Council here,
Philadelphia. New York, Camden and
other municipalities in adopting the
law, whicn requires the clock 10 be
turned backward an hour March 2s. has
brought about a complicated situation
with the railroads.
So far. the railroads have not taken
action as to under what time they will
run their schedules when the new law
becomes effective In the cities that
have passed It.
1T is impossible TO run the trains OF
