DAYLIGHT SAVING

MASSACHUSET IT'S
State Senate Refuses to Repeal
Present Law
WORKERS FAVOR THE LAW
Effort of the Farmers TO Get the
Law Changed Seems
Definitely Defeated

Boston, March 15--Repeal of the
daylight saving law went on the rocks
this afternoon in the, Senate, which,
by vote of 10 to 27, rejected a mo-
tion OF Senator Lyman w Griswold
.of Greenfield, to substitute the repeal
measure for the bill reported by the
Legal Affairs Committee.
Then, under suspension of rules, the
so called compromise bill, which cut )
one month from each end of the pres
ent daylight period, was put through
all its readings and goes to the House,
where it is expected that action will
come Thursday.
That the House will register a large
majority for the pending bill ia prob.
able. An attempt will be made to rush
it through the lower branch in time to
supercede the present daylight law,
which requires the clocks to be ad-
vanced week from Sunday.
IT is not Likely that advocates OF
repeal. after Their Overwhelming de.
feat will object to quick action that
the law may be changed 80 that day.
light saving will not start until the
last Sunday in April. Hence the
House will no doubt give the neces.
sary two-thirds majority to tack on
the emergency preamble so that the
law wou not have TO wait the pre-
scrbed 80 days before taking effect.
Barring legislative complications the
bill will reach the Governor by the
middle Of next week and if it is APP
proved by him before Saturday at mid
night there will be uo shifting OF the
clocks until the last Sunday in April.
And the daylight period will end the
last Sunday in September. instead OF
October.
