Joined as complainants in suit
against the Massachusetts daylight
saving law filed in the United States
district court here today by the Mass
achusetts State Grange. the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, the
brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, and individuals.
The plaintiffs allege in part that the

fer strain upon their health by the
use of a double standard of time in

have been deprecated by more than
s20,000,000 in consequence.
The suit seeks to have the law adj
judged unconstitutional as conflicting
with federal statutes establishing
zones of time for various sections of
the country, and with the power of
Congress to provide for the general
welfare of the citizens, and as impair
ing the obligation OF contracts between
citizens of sister states by accelerat-
ing their maturity as applied to citi-
zens of Massachusetts.
The defendants to the suit are At

MINERS CHILDREN
LEAVE SCHOOL TO
SUPPORT PARENTS

Philadelphia, Sept. 3. - (AP) -
When public schools reopen next
week hundreds Of anthracite miners
children will be absent. Since the
suspension affecting $4,000 men
went into effect, according to ad-
vices received today, children have
been taking jobs to help support
their families.
Working certificates for young
sters had been issued by school SUI
perintendents by the score, it was
said. The applicants convinced the
examiners that what wages they
could earn were necessary to the
comfort of their homes.
School authorities feared that the
children would not return when the
coal mines were in operation again.
For many of them it was apt to
bring a premature end to their
schooling. they said.
Under Pennsylvania laws. how
ever, miners between IA and 16 years
must attend school at least one day
a week and educational authorities
were trusting to this to save as many
children for further education as
was possible.
Otherwise the third day of the
suspension passed without report of
marked change in the situation in
the ten anthracite counties. Con-
ditions were described as peaceful
but as gradually drifting toward
stagnation.
Squabbles arising out of mainte-
nance work in the pits were being
adjusted by the officials of the local
union boards, it was said.
