DAYLIGHT SAVING
GOES INTO EFFECT
FIRST DAY Of MAY
Trustees Adopt Resolution at
Special Meeting
MANY DESIRE LONGER DAY
Plan Favored by Manufacturers,
Merchants and All Employ
ers of Labor
MANY DESIRE LONGER DAY

Bennington village and the village
of North Bennington will change to
the daylight saving time schedule at
2 O'Clock, on the morning of Sunday,
May l. The change of time will con-
tnue until the last Sunday in Septem
be-.
There is no national or Vermont
state law under which such change
could be brought about but 1t is ap-
parent that the longer day is desired
by majority of the people of Ben
nington. especially in the two villages
where the population is largely COM
posed of the workers in the Industrial
plants in the stores and in the offices.
Some weeks ago the Bennington
MERCHANTS association met and adopt
ed resolutions fayoring change OF
time during the summer. This resolu
tion was presented at meeting Of
the village trustees who were unable
to see where they had authority to
take any definite act on, The course
adopted by the Merchants associa-
tion, however. did create additional
interest in the project Operatives
in the different mills began to dis
cuss it, it was taken up by employ
ers generally and favorable sent ;
ment Increased.
In order to bring things to a head
a special meeting was called Thurs
day evening by Village President j.
p. Morrissey. When the rustees
gathered it was found that some
member of the board had been ap-
preached by some one of the different
manufacturers who appear to be a
practical unit in favor of the daylight
saving plan. Following an informal
discussion the following resolution
was adopted:
Be it resolved, That the board OF
trustees OF the village of Bennington
hereby endorses the so-called day
light saving" plan and recommends
that all business, Industrial and social
relations, except such as are specifi-
caly prob bited by statute. be ad-
vanced one-hour, beginning at
clock a. m, on sunday May next,
and continuing until o'clock a. M OF
the last Sunday in September when
the said relations shall be retarded
one hour and returned to the Eastern
standard time.

Especial to The Times.)
 Hartford, June 9-The text of the resolution of sympathy for Ireland passed by the Connecti- cut legislature yesterday is: 'sThat the people of this state sympathize with all the people of Ireland in it's present trouble and distress. It is the abiding hope of a vast people that God in His infinite wisdom will restore peace and tranquility, prosperity and happiness to this great people who have done so much for the welfare of the world" In the Senate, Senators Clark and W. H. Hall spoke in favor of the reSolu- tion and it was passed without a division. In the House the reSo- lutiOn was not even read, being passed without a dissenting vote on the assurance of Majority Leader Buckley that the FeSOIu- Iion was framed in such language that no member need have any hesitancy in voting for it.
