Majority for Advancing
Clock in Summer
MANY FOR LOCAL ORDINANCE
Employers of lnbor In the riillmlol
phla district, from cnnriwes of their
plnnts, linvo arrived at the conclusion
tlint the majority of their workers fnvor
nomo form of dnyllffht-cnvlnR ordlnnnce
i 'for the romlnc summer tenson.
The l'lillndelphla Association for the
Dlscufslon of Employment Problems,
through Its president, A. 12. Chevalier
manager of the Itarrett Co., has Just
completed nn informal survey of the
biggest Industrial concerns seeking the
opinion of each on this question.
The association has about 150 mem
bers, ench a firm employing large num
bers of workcis, nml a questionnaire
pent to each elicited the information
that the majority in favor of daylight
saving was so great as to be over
whelming. Jinny of the firms shieh replied to the
association's questionnaire indicated
that they were tarry the state law
favoring daylight saving was lost at
llarrlshur, and favored a local ordi
nance which would set the clock fonvnt
an hour for l'lilladelpl.ia
Rellnlng Co. For I'lan
One of the biggest employers of labor
In this part of the country, the Atlan
tic Refining Co., with 4000 workers,
wrote to the association : "Wo Jiall bo
glad to co-opcrato with you in any
movement haing for its object the en
actment of local legislation which would
give to the workers of Philadelphia the
benefits of the additional hour of day
light." The Atlantic Itcfining Co.
workers, during the agitation for the
Btate daylight-saving law, sent peti
tions to Ilnrrisburg.
Thcro was some opposition expressed
by members of the association. Thus,
the Bell Telephone Co., in a long nnd
well reasoned reply to the quettlon
nairc, set forth ns its reason for op
posing local daylight-saving the fact
that wliere Philadelphia and nearby
cities were working under different time
systems, the telephone business would
be interefcred with fccrlously. Where
thero was opposition expressed to the
plan, it was founded in every case on
the thought that there might he con
flict between the clocks of this city
and points near by, thus causing incon
venience to many.
Soup Co. Votes Favorably
Tho rnmnbell's Poun Co.. of Camilen.
another great employer of labor, wrote1
that the company lavoreu n uajiiRni
saving ordinance, nnd a vote taken
some time previously had been "over
whelmingly in favor of it."
The Campbell company wrote: --e,
further believe that the benefits do-
rived by our employes from daylight '
naving are o numerous and o obvious i
that it is unnecessary to enumerate j
them." , , .
Among the firms nnd organizations
which endorsed daylight saving in reply
to the association s questionnaire, ue-
sides those already mentioned, were:
the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing
Co., the American Pulley Co., the I
North American I.nee Co.. the Curtis
