Editor The News-Times
In the early spring OF the present
year a request for the sentiments Of
the people OF South Bend REGARDING
the daylight saving idea was solicit
ed and apparently the result did not
please a certain few whose influence
has considera bic weight with the
city council. and taking ADVANTAGE
OF thai generous body of lawmakers
they succeeded in imposing upon
the people OF South Bend that un-
popular prank called daylight saw
ing. II need not be explained that
the idea could be given immediate
attention, for toe well the instiga-
tors knew that a general notice OF
their intentions would have over
taxed the capacity of the city hall
with demonstrators. and the de-
mands that the majority rule would
have made their plans impossible.
The statement published which
apparently was the only justification
for the councils action. which said
the factory workers were elated
over the daylight saving idea being
adopted. is an outright falsehoOd,
and rest assured that the parties
who railroaded this imposition
prove this statement with facts. for
too well they know. if they know
the public pllse at all. that the
idea met with strong opposition and
was turned down cold II they
could have heard the expressions
of relief and satisfaction when the
results of the canvass were spread
back through the factories il is
doubtful whether they would have
had the courage TO so utterly disre-
gard pubic sentiment.
If there was any call for daylight
saving at this time IL would be en-
tirely different. Any American is
willing 10 make an unreaSonab BILE
sacrifice when conditions warrant
il, but when neither our nation
state nor county sees fit to adopt
such a schedule, there is something
wrong with our city's thinking de-
partment when 1t legislates in the
reverse.
At the present time the factories
are nearly all working on a nine
hour schedule with Saturday after
moons off The planting season is
practically over and a great deaI
of the city's work is being done by
people who come at an UnreaSon-
doIc hCul hN d 1lillS NH'H oiiC nun
of sleep in the cool morning is
worth two in the evening. These
facts together with the imposition
which is forced upon women ought
/ to convince the city council o. Its
error and bring a repeal OF this ac-
ton. and if il does not, ii is iustiti-
| able TO assume that our city govern
ment IS not a government for the
| peOUle nor bV the peODlc.
