Putnam Mills MOue Clocks
Ahead One Hour On Sunddu
FIVE LOCAL PLANTS TO OPERATE ON DAYLIGHT saw
ING TIME COMMENCING MONDAY
MORNING
Hundreds of Mill Workers Turn Clocks Ahead In Their
Homes at Bedtime Sunday

At least five manufacturing con-
Germs in Putnam. 1t was announced
this morning, would begin operating
on Monday morning on daylight
saving time schedule of working
hours. This means that clocks viii be
one hour in advance of standard time.
Mill clocks will be turned ahead ona
hour some time during Sunday night.
and when mill workers report Monday
morning. the clocks will register day
light saving time"
Five Plants Decide
The mills announcing defnitsty
that they will observe daylight saving
time starting on Monday are the fol-
lowing: Manhasset Mfg. Co.. Ham,
mond- knowlton and Eureka plants Of
the II. X. II. Silk Company, the Night
ingale- Morse Mills, Inc, and the Put
nam Mfg. Co. At North Grosvenoe-
dale il was determined that nothing
would be done about the new time I'M
Ill at least when schools have closed
for the year in June. No action haa
been taken as yet in regard To the
matter at the French River Textile
Company at Mechanicsville. II Is an
ticipated that the Dady Silk mills viii
observe daylight saving time, but the
Putnam Wooden Company and tbs
Waterman Worsted Company VIII!
continue operating on standard time.
Postoffise on New Time
Announcement is also made that
commencing Monday the Putnam post
office will be open under a daylight
saving schedule ofk hours. The Office
will open at O o'clock in the morning.
as il does now. but will close at 2 a.
clock instead of 4, as now. Mails viii
close at p. M, which is one hour
earlier than now. Incidentally il may
be stated that because the trains will
arrive in Putnam sn hour earlier than
usual, X. +. ID. carriers and city mail
carriers will be able to take out tbs
morning Boston papers, a service that
will he appreciated by many people.
The chief reason advanced for mills
operating on daylight saving sched-
ule OF hours, starting on Monday, is
that IL is practically vital necessity
owing to the trains operating on an
hour-ahead basis. II mills do not oh
serve the changed time, they are like
/ ly to lose day in shipping-which Is
vital. a
Freight Service Influences J
Because freight yards close at 4 p.
m. standard time, there is likely to be
an extra day demurrage charge unless
mill workers get onto the job an hour
earlier than today. In the course Of
months this extra demurrage charsss
figures into real money. Mill workers
like the extra hour Of sunlight and
recreation in the open air. this being
an important factor in mills deciding
in favor Of the daylight saving sched-
ule Of working hours.
What stores in Putnam. theatres,
and such like intend doing in regard
10 the matter, will depend largely on
what action the mayor and city couB-
ell take at their regular monthly
meeting on Tuesday night.

Monday
Weekly Increase Will Approximate
S900o-Will Be Appreciated

When next Monday comes and mill
workers resume their labors in the
manufacturing plants throughout the
Quinebaug Valley, after their week
ends respite, they will begin earning
the increased pay which mills an
nounced would become effective on

approximate ~ x per cent.
Wooden Mills Raise Wages
Announcement was not made in
three local mills until this week that
the increase that had been granted so
unanimously all over New England
would be made operative in these
plants. Ii was a pleasure, therefore,
when the word was officially spread
among the workers of the French Riv-
er Textile Company at Mechanics

and the Waterman Worsted Company,
both of this city, that they too would
share in the higher pay that local cot
ton mills had announced.

That the increase in pay in mills in

$4,000 each week, is fact that was
learned on most reliable authority. To
