DAYLIGHT SAVING
GAINSADHERENTS
[Continued from First Pago.]
Kiwanis Club and the Rotary Clul> |
to-day became active boosters for |
the movement. The only change in I
program has been the general de-1
sire to have Council act on the pro-1
posed measure this summer. The i
entire matter together with the
petitions will be placed before the
City Commissioners within the next I
two weeks and immediate consider-1
ation will be asked.
Save Daylight, but—
Don't Change the Clock,
Says Business Expert
C. H. Hunter, long associated with '
the Elliott-Fisher Company and rc- I
garded among many friends as a ;
keen business expert, commenting j
to-day on the proposed plan to have 1
Karrisburg save its own daylight |
next year, discussed several phases |
of the matter with a Telegraph re
porter. "Save daylight? Yes" said
he. "but don't change the clock."
"In the larger cities," he con
tinued, "people like the plan of
moving the clock ahead during the
summer months because they can
have an extra hour of daylight at
the end of the day.
"In the country and smaller cities
and towns the people do not like it
because the farmer cannot work to
advantage.
"One of the main reasons why the
present daylight saving law was re
pealed was because the great ma
jortiy of farmers in many great
farming localities refused to mov s
their clocks ahead and this resulted
in confusion in the small cities and
towns in the farming communities
"One kind of time for the cit>
and another kirid of time for the
farmers and small-town people iil
that vicinity won't work satisfac
torily—that's why therewas so much
public sentiment against the pres
ent law.
"But there isn't any need for any
argument between the city and the
country as to whether to move the
clock ahead of not. All that is
necessary is to start work an hour
earlier in the cities where daylight
saving is desired and leave the clock
alone. In this way business hou.\s
of 8.30 a. m. to 5.30 p. m. would
J become 7.30 a. m. to 4.30 p. m. and
i there would be no confusion and
! nothing to argue about.
"For one city to attempt to move
S the clock ahead would only result,
; as it has always resulted where it
j has been tried, in continued and
| annoying confusion for both cily
| and country people living in that
I vicinity as well as to all traveling
I people visiting that city.
"For illustration, suppose Harris
! burg moves the clock ahead one
| hour, but Hershey does not; see
; what easily happens when Brown,
lof Hershey, telephones Jones, of
| Harrisbyrg. and they make an ap
| pointmerit to meet at the Penn-Har
j ris Hotel at 6 p. in. Jones is on time
I and waits until 6.30 by his time for
i Brown, decides Brown isn't coming
j and leaves. Brown is also on time
i and arrives at 6 p. m. by his time
! and waits thirty minutes for Jones
I before he discovers that it is 7.30
i Harrisburg time. All because the
i people in the same vicinity can't
: agree on one standard time,
j "Again if Harrisburg moves the
j clock ahead the railroads will con
tinue to operate on standard time—
i then what time by Harrisburg time
i will you have to start to be on time
I to catch the 11 o'clock train which
1 leaves on standard time? A time
study.
"Hundreds of Harrisburg people
are railroad employes. If Harris
burg moves its clock ahead these
railroad employes will live by Har
risburg time and work by railroad
time.
"With Harrisburg clocks moved
ahead one hour every traveling man
who visits the city will condemn the
place because the traveling man
must travel on standard time and
while in Harrisburg would be in a
constant state of confusion or have
to reset his watch every time he
got to town and again when he left.
Harrisburg has built a fine hotel to
accommodate and please visitors lo
our city: it pays to have the travel
ing public think well of a city.
"Leave the clocks alone, but
move business ahead one hour, then
there will be no confusion and ev
erybody will be satisfied
"Thus city people who want the
extra hour of daylight, as most city
people do want it, will have what
they want and the rest of the world,
city or country, won't have any rea
son for complaint or any cause for
confusion."

t ton Evening of Sept. 9
Frank Davenport, chairman of
| the entertainment committee of the
| Harrisburg Rotary Club, announced
■ to-day that Monday evening, Sep
i tember $, -will be "Mystery Night"
I for the Rotarians and their wives,
i "What's that mean?" asked the
reporter.
"That," said Mr. Davenport, snub
| ing, "means mystery."
"No use asking anything more,"
he continued. "The only thing the
| Rotarians and their wives are go
| ing to learn about this affair is that
I it is a "Mystery Night," but I'll say
j this, that the entertainment com
| mittee members are going to do the
j entertaining and it is going to be the
I biggest and most unique event in
l the history of the club. I advise all
! wives of Rotarians to see to it that
i their husbands arrange to bring
j them. It's going to be a big occa
| sion." •
Mr. Davenport also dropped the
t information that on the very next
night following, Tuesday, Septem

I by automobile of his big orchards
• and market gardens.

HEAVY GUARD ON
PITTSBURGH CARS
[Continued from First Page.]
i terday. All car barns, especially
1 those at Craft avenue, the center of
j yesterday's trouble, were being pu
j trolled by strong forces of police
! this forenoon.
Eighty-one more strike-breakers
I were brought here this morning
! from New York by the receivers.
Five hundred more men, it was
said, are expected from Chicago be
fore night.
Call 1,000 Policemen
A call for 1,000 emergency police
men to aid the local police force
!in handling the trolley situation
I here was issued to-day by Mayor
;E. V. Babcock. This action fol
| lowed a conference last night be-
I tween city officials who sought to
J prevent a recurrence of rioting yes-
I terday when the receivers of the
j Pittsburgh Street Railways Company
i attempted to break the strike of 3,-
000 trolleymen.
Up to 11 o'clock this forenoon, no
attempt had been made to resume
operation of cars, and no cars will
be run until more definite plans
for protection are made, according
j to an announcement made at that
I hour by Mayor E. V. Babcock,
I Sheriff W. S. Haddock and Safety
j Director C. E. Pritchard.
The receivers of the trolley com
pany issued a statement shortly be
' fore noon in tire form of an open
I letter to the mayor. Like their
| statement late yesterday, it com
plained of alleged lack of police pro
[ tection during the first attempt to
I run cars and asked for a detail of
two policemen for each car. The
receivers told the mayor they were
ready to start operation of cars at
once if such protection was granted
and asked for an immediate reply.
Director Prichard, answering
complaints of alleged lack of pro
tection for the cars yesterday this
morning said that his department
did not have sufficient notice of the
importation of strike-breakers to
prepare for the emergency.
| That trouble would result from
I an attempt to operate cars was in
dicated by strikers yesterday when
300 strike-breakers were brought
here from eastern cities. Crowds
gathered about carbarns and the
first trolley to start out was stoned
and forced to turn back. Police
drove back the crowd and the car
started again, only to be attacked
several times enroute down town.
After all its windows had been
broken it finally was wrecked in
j Fifth avenue in the heart of the
| business district. A second car met
a like fate. Four others managed
to get back to the barns without
j completing their trips. They were
| badly damaged by bricks anil cluos
and the crews beaten.
Rioters followed the cars in-auto
mobile trucks. Shots were fired
from one truck as it dashed through
the streets. Seven of the injured
I in the rioting were hit by stray
! bullets.

Strike-Breakers Rob
Restaurant and Escape
on Train For Pittsburgh
Strike breakers enroute from New
York to Pittsburgh cleaned out the
Greek restaurant on Fifth street
yesterday and also the sandwich boy
on duty at night, at the Pennsyl
vania Railroad station. No arrests
were made as the train had de
i parted sometime before the police
I were notified.
, When Train No. 7, due here at
10.55 P. ii running late reached
jHanisburg, it stopped almost op
| posite the gate ut the upper end
|ot the station, and on Fifth street.
, a he restaurant is in the rear of the
first floor of the Hoffman House
building and next to the gate. The
strike breakers occupied a coach and
numbered about 50.
As soon as they noticed the res
taurant close to the station they
made a dash for the place. Two of
the men started to pay for two sand
wiches when someone called out,
"the train is moving." There was
a scramble for everything in sight,
even the cash register. Pies, fruit
sandwiches, cakes, etc. disappared
like magic. One fellow grabbed
se\ oral dollars from the cash regis
mot l^ e to the traln they
met the boy with the sandwiches
and in about a minute they had
cleaned out his basket.
