CHURCHES TO
IGNORE FAST
Time CHANGE
Probably Hold Services on
Central Standard Hours,
Says Leader.
BANKERS ACT TODAY
Clearing House Discusses
Daylight Plan; Mer-
chants to Decide

Indianapolis protestant CnurcneS
probably will continue to operate or
central standard time despite the
daylight saving measure passed by
city council, DR.. Ernest N. Evans
Church Federation secretary, de-
clared today.
The Indianapolis Ministerial AS
sociation will discuss the fast time
plan a week from Monday, Evans
said. The association at meeting
of small group of ministers
adopted a resolution opposing the
measure before it was passed by the
council.
Some Of the larger congregations
are understood to favor the day
light time but are not disposed to
move up the church schedule un-
less it is generally adopted, it is
said.
"The ministerial association can
not act on behalf of the churches.
Every church will have to decide
the issue for itself. It would be
confusing for a few churches to
adopt the plan if the city generally
does not follow the councils plan,'
said the Rev. George A. Frantz,
First Presbyterian Church pastor.
Clearing House Meets
ut may be that the council will
take further action to unravel the
tangle," Mr.. Frantz said.
Roman Catholic churches prob
ably will follow the standard time,
although no decision has been
reached, it was said at the SIS. Peter
and Paul Cathedral.
The Indianapolis Clearing House
Association postponed until Monday
a meeting to discuss adoption OF the
daylight saving schedule.
Bankers generally we're in favor
of the plan and are expected to
follow the stand of the clearing
house, it is said.
The merchants association will
take up the fast time issue tonight.
Holcomb & Hoke and the Hol-
comb Manufacturing Company were
reported to be the first industries
to adopt the new time schedule.
j. I. Holcomb. the company presi-
dent, urged adoption of the plan.
Urges Plan Adoption
H j. McGinty, Western Union
clock repairman, who turns the
hand forward an hour for the pa
irons desiring the fast time, said no
other industries had requested that
their clock be moved forward.
Eleven city hall clocks. three at
police headquarters, two at city hos
pital and the clock at the Marmon
Motor Car Company sales Office,
Eleventh and Meridian ST., we're ad-
vanced Wednesday, McGinty de-
clared.
There are some 1000 Western
Union clocks in the city. Manager
A. A. Brown announced the public
can have what it wants as far as
our clocks are concerned"
Howard T. Griffith, Associated
Employers of Indianapolis, Inc,
president, urged general adoption
of the daylight plan by manufac-
turers, merchants, bankers and
other business interests.
MarmOn on Early Time
"The logical thing for law abid-
ing citizen to do is to follow it
whether they like it or not he
said.
Griffith proposed that all clocks
be moved forward at midnight Sat 3.
urday.
His proposal was not made as
president of the Associated Employ
ers, however, he said, as the en-
ployers' organization up to this time
has taken no active part in the day
light saving controversy.
Federal Judge Robert c. Baltzell
will start operation of the court on
daylight time Monday. G.. M. Will
liams, Marmon Motor Car Company
president. announced the Marmon
plant will adopt daylight time Mon
