MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1919. f^luSur 88 bi TWO B CENTO SB HOME EDITION CITY IS LINING UP SOLIDLY IN FAVOR OF DAYLIGHT LAW Boroughs Join With Harrishurg to Get Hour of Sunshine For Next Summer; Many Cities Are Lining Up TELEGRAPH IS PRINTING PETITIONS FOR WORKMEN The campaign to have Harrisburg* turn its clocks ahead an hour next summer and save daylight despite the protests of farmers who were successful in having Congress re peal the popular measure, to-day was reported as having gained more supporters in less time than any other civic enterprise has attained in recent years. Reading, also, has joined the ranks of the progressive cities. Virtually the only opposition recorded to-day was from men and women over 60 years old who ad mittedly oppose the measure be cause it interferes with time-hon ored custom. Of the numerous letters received in the Telegraph of fice only two opposed the idea. One writer criticised daylight saving as benefiting baseball fans whom he termed "cheap sports." The second critic was a matron who flayed young women for preparing "the chaff of the modern meal" saying that with daylight saving she hardly had time "to cook an old-fashioned breakfast." Want Petition The majority of the letters, how ever, were requests for petitions to circulate in shops, factories and places of business. The writers strongly endorsed the idea to have the clock turned. Whatever opposition had devel oped among businessmen practically was wiped out to-day with dispatches from New York, saying that the New- York stock exchange will observe the new hours when the board of al derman pass the New York resolu tion. It was suggested, however, that the number of months be re duced from seven to five so that dark mornings will be avoided. Un der this provision the clock would be turned forward the last Sunday in April and turned back the last Sunday in September. C. of C. Members Pleased With the stock exchanges and banks of New York observing the new hours it means that business in other cities might be seriously dis rupted if the smaller municipalities did not follow. This view has been taken by the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce which Saturday passsed resolutions calling on the Pitts burgh council and all Pennsylvania cities to take action. Prominent members of the Har risburg Chamber of Commerce were pleased with the announcement that Pittsburgh's business had taken the lead. They added that the decision of the New York stock exchange also will have a far-reaching effect. The movement now seems certain to reach to all the more important and progressive cities in the east and middle west. No Inconvenience to Result "Even if Harrisburg and New ork stood alone," said one prom inent businessman, "no inconveni ence would result to local business houses. Persons going away onlv need remember that trains were leaving an hour earlier than the schedule. This condition habitually occurs in Pittsburgh where there are two sup times and no one ever is confusesd. Banks, business houses and industries and trolley companies all combining there is no possibility of confusion." The Telegraph to-day is printing petitions addressed to City Council calling on them to continue the popular movement. The petitions also call upon the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club to get behind the movement. These petitions will be ready in a day or so and will be circulated at the shops, stores, fac tories and foundries. The Petition The text of the petition follows: "We, the undersigned, do hereby i heartily endorse the Harrisburg Telegraph's movement for the con tinuation of the daylight-saving sys tem in- Harrisburg, and we earnest- | ly petition the members of C'ty I Council and the Mayor to take such i action as will give us next year the I extra hour of daylight which we have so much enjoyed the past two i years and which has been such a boon to people in general, giving us time for healthful recreation and amusement which we cannot have in any other way. Also, we peti-1 tion the Harrisburg Chamber ofi Commerce, the Rota y Club of Har- I risburg ar,-d the Kiwanis Club to get | behind the movement started by the ' Daylight Saving Association in New !

Should Allow France to Re cover Old-Time Strength to Act as World Shield Washington, Aug. 25. While Germany has been Vanquished for the present, "nothing but force is likely to restrain her from seeking world domination at the earliest op portunity" in the opinion of the Sen ate Judiciary Subcommittee ap pointed ta report on the validity of the proposed Treaty by which the United States would go to the aid of France in the event of an unpro voked attack by Germany. In holding that ratification of the special defensive Treaty is within the constitutional powers of the Treaty muking bodies of the American Government, the subcommittee, in its report submitted to-day to the full committee said it was for the interest of the United States that France sh#uld be allowed to recup erate and recruit her old-time vigor. "She will then," said the report, "be a great shield and protection to us against the German menace in the future." The report was written by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, in collaboration with Senators Nelson and Kellogg, both of Minnesota, and Fall, of New Mexico, Republicans, and Senator Overman, of North Carolina, Democrat, constituting the subcommittee. "It will be seen," the report said, "that the covenant only aims at pro tection against Germany and that it is of a temporary character to be merged in and substituted by the authority of the League of Nations when that is established and put into operation. "As the armistice covers the ground between the end of the war and the ratification of the Treaty of Peace, so the Treaty in question aims to cover the ground from the time of the adoption of the Treaty until the League of Nations, provided for in the Treaty, can take its place. In other words the Treaty in question is of a temporary character to be merged in the final Treaty of Peace. "Such a Treaty is clearly war ranted by international law and usage and is therefore within the scope of the Treaty making power of the United States.

Two weeks ago the bricklayers demanded an increase from sixty to eighty cents per hour. The officials replied that while it was impossible for them to comply with the demand at this time they were willing to al low them to work ten hours with time and half-time for all work over eight hours. The men rejected the offer and this morning secured their tools unci left. A few of the men are said to have returned to work this morning, the strikers claiming only one returned. To-day was their regular scheduled payday. When asked what they intended doing the reply was that bricklayers outside were drawing eighty-live cents per hour, and as there was a demand for them they would have no difficulty in securing other po sitions. At any rate, they said, they would - not wait for the officials to come to a decision, so they weie "just quitting." SIBERIAN'S TO MAKE STAND By Associated Press.
