ACTION IN SUN SAVING
 IS UNCERTAIN

The effect of the passage of the anti-daylight saving bill by the State Legislature upon the practice of sun saving in municipalities is common gossip today. AS a whole, Bridge port seems dissatisfied with the Sen ate action, although a strong sen1- ment is expressed that local legisla- ton will be sufficient to pass neces- sary measures. Bridgeports entire Delaney and Challenger, voted against the state measure but lost with their faction by the vote of 1S to 14.
 In the opinion of many, the bill is a law without penalties for violations and in reality has but little Signifi- canoe. It makes no provisions pro- hibiting municipalities from passing and enforcing separate legislation providing for daylight saving in the various towns and cities to conform with the systems in effect in New York and Massachusetts and in force on the main railroad lines.
 Local action on daylight saving is uncertain. The matter rests with the Ordinance committee of the Board of Aldermen and the subsequent action on the committees recommendations. A report is scheduled to be made at the Monday night meeting, and Chairman Ralph T. Beers announced yesterday that the committee would recomm end that the local time con form with the railroad system, which makes daylight saving effective April isiature in passing the anti-daylight bill will chance the decision of the committee could not be learned to- daN.

Porter Says Unemployment
 Result Of Poor Management

''On the other hand, there is an equal urge today upon business to become, not only more efficient, but to conform its efficiency fmore and more to the tenets of democracy, foT only in that way can the cooperation of labor be effected.
 "WithOut this cooperation business will increasingly find it impossible to succeed; and unless business does succeed, the nation, as a whole, can not prosper.
 Upon the intelligence of trained men and women among uS,-those who by every token of natural and cultivated advantage, should assrt the leadership,-the present hour places Ia solemn responsibility; upon them devolves the task to lead the way in making both our government and our business what they ought to be, and what they easily can be made to be. if we all pull together.
 Unemployment, for instance, the great pressing problem of the present hour. is ascribable almost wholly to inefficient. short-sighted management and to the persistent failure of our people to coordinate the energies and resouT1es of government and in ldustry.'

In the event that the new bill is' legally interpreted to restrict towns or cities from enacting separate leg isIation, Secretary Price announced that he believed it lawful and practi- cal for employers, employees, manu- facturers, business men, merchants and workingmen to adjust their working schedules to attain the same results as derived from statewide daylight saving.
 The plan of Secretary Price is ? meeting with approval, and there is a possibility that serious considera- ton by industrial and labor forces will be given it if local legislation is prohibited by state statutes. MT. Price further declared that he was of the opinion that Bridgeport, irrespect of other communities, should perfect it's plans for daylight saving and eff feet the passage and, enforcement of local measures until the constitution alley of the new law is determined.

The attorney general, I will say. is not responsible for this. The man who is responsible is the governor ,of the state of Oklahoma, who went out of his way to persecute a girl and to defend a moral leper who debauched and stole the virtue of a country girl ' Champion charged.
 Champion began his argument right after court convened this morn ing. He branded Hamon as a 'tse- ducer," and as a man who ''stole girls out of the crad1e.''
 ''The attorney general has come here to uphold the hands of a mill Honaire debaucher,'' he said
 This girl was a country girl in her teens. Hamon, a man of 40, seduced her when she was in her teens.
 "He went into-the shadow of this pure girls home and he took her, for what purpose He coaxed, wooed. won and sent her 10 school not for the service he might get out of her as Stenographer. but to make her yield her body to his brutal passions.
 This man stole girls out of the cradle and yet attorneys for the prosecution have the audacity to ask you to convict her for staying this master mind and brute.
 You know the personal friends of this debaucl1er who came into the court to swear against the girl-Frank Ketch-and Erret Dunlap-you know these men who have thin fangs on the millions of the dead man,
