Sir: AS reader of The Tribune l
protest against your Endorsement of
daylight saving in this city.
am laboring man and | am sure
chat if the daylight saving were left TO
the viii of the people by vote they
would be quick to vote it out. Of sex-
istence in this city--to say nothing of
the upstate people.
There is no reason why those who
want daylight saving could not change
their time of going TO work instead of
changing the clock to suit their time.
There are none of the advocates of
daylight saving who do not know that
they would not dare leave it TO the
vote of the people and this is why they
have not had it voted upon.

Many Regard 1t as a Blessing; Others Bitterly
Object to Change of Time

To the Editor oG The Tribune.
Sir: Daylight saving IS the greatest
boon for humanity and is the one great
lesson that has come out of the World
War. It has been adopted in all civil
ICED nations Of the world
1t has saved the nation at least two
million tons of coal per annum and
gives every one who works in the cities,
factories or on the farms time to culti-
vate Z: little garden of his own, which
it is estimated saves $5oo,0o0,o0 worth
Of garden crops year.
1t is the greatest asset and inspirs-
tion to aid in the cure of tuberculosis,
which destroys two in seven Of the
human race
This state was the first to adopt it,
and tke thinking people of this state
trust that the whole nation VIII adopt
it, so that the time will be uniform.
There are now several bills pending in
Congress to this effect
Should Congress be in doubt as to
the will Of the people in this matter
let a referendum be taken.

would be a particularly unpleasant

chamber is really the end of the de-
scending piston, and it comes down
with the force of many tons upon this
metal floor. There are small lateral
columns of water outside which re-
ceive the force, and which transmit
and multiply it in the manner which
is familiar to you. The machine goes
readily enough, but there is some
stiffness in the working of it, and it
