Opponents of daylight saving
gained heavily in today's count of
votes in The Times daylight saw
ing poll
OF the 1,158 ballots received in the
last twenty-four hours 500 were for

2-to-1 lead. The "antis" were slow
ly gaining.

sion Monday night to act on an
ordinance providing daylight saving
for indianapolis this sumner. Coun-
cilmen have indicated they will be
guided by The Times poll and other
expressions Of public sentiment
when they vote on the measure.
Lively Interest in Poll
Interest in the poll, taken on the
suggestion of city councilmen. is
shown by the large number of en-
ployeS of various firms who for
warded mass ballots and petitions
to the Daylight Saving Editor.
Thirteen employees of Tarr, Downs
& Co., stockyards, voted unani-
mously against the fast time"
plan.
Gregory 81 Appel, Inc, employees
polled their own offices and other
offices in the Fletcher Savings and
Trust Bldg. and forwarded sixty
five Eyes" votes and seven mo"
Twenty eight F'eltman-Curme
shoe store employees voted Eyes"
and thirty-four courthouse en-
ployes signed a petition favoring
the daylight saving plan.
HObble on Business
A. M. Glossbrenner, Levey Print
ing Company president, sent in a
vote against the time change and
enclosed his comment on daylight
saving in The Shield, printing COM
pany magazine.
Most business men will readily
agree that the present period is
bad time to hobble business with
any more hampering and annoying
regulations, the article declared.
Workers in factories, stockyards
and wholesale houses, employees in
grocery stores, drug stores, restau-
rants and filling stations, milk men
and street car men, together with
their families, would suffer imposi-
ton through compulsory rising be-
fore sunrise under daylight saw
ing"
Glossbrenner also pointed out
that farmers in the Indianapolis
district oppose daylight saving be-
cause it would affect the hours of
arrival here of their livestock, poul-
try, dairy produce and grain ship
ments.
The majority of letters sent in
with ballots bitterly opposed the
fast time" plan. Those favoring
the change seemed content to vote.

ment employees fearful that they might
be seen entering the Democratic head
quarters and sinking furtively away.
M l.. Calnan, another speaker, said 1t

ernment workers are afraid to let 1t
