lished. These zones were based on
mean sun time on the 18th, Goth,
105th and 12Oth meridians west of
Greenwich.
Behind the General Time Con-
vention was a patient individual,
whose drive, enthusiasm, stub
bornness and diplomacy made the
revolution possible.
A Plot Was Suspected
Bur few of the millions who have
used the Union Station in Wash
ington have ever noted the bronze
plaque which gives William F.
Allen due credit for his memorable
and constructive achievement.
The shift to sensible time stand
ards was not without incident
or opposition. A few newspapers
looked upon the change as a deep
plot by the railroads, although
they had difficulty in finding a
single sinister motive. The New
York Herald" suspected the prof.
ect as "a gigantic scheme of
plunder" to enrich watchmakers
and clock-repair people. A few
ministers opposed the move as
being against the immutable laws
of God.
In Bangor, Maine, the shift to
Standard Time became a political

issue. The Attorney General of
the United States rejected the
proposal that the new time stand
ard be used by the Federal Gov
ernment without the approval Of
Congress. Public opinion was
against him, however, and he did
not press his point, although his
temper was aroused when he
missed a train because he had
failed to adjust his watch to
Standard Time.
Actually, however, the shift was
made painlessly and to the general
satisfaction and benefit of all con-
cerned.
1t was not until IS years later
that Congress passed what is
known as the Standard Time Act.
This was done on March 19,
1913, and it sanctioned our first
venture in ''Daylight Savings
Tffne," as a war measure.
This generation will never face
the travel difficulties and whim-
sical hardships endured by my
grandfather. Our modern and civ
ilized habits of punctuality are
possible because of what William
F. Aliens General Time Conven-
ton was able to accomplish. The
time of our lives is inexorable.
