It would involve a serious economic loss. ‘The act of March 19, 1918, to ‘save dayvlight’ re- sulted not only from a careful study of industrial conditions by competent men familiar with the business opera- tions of the country, but also from ob- servation of the happy and beneficial consequences of similar legislation in other countries where legislation of this character has been for some time | in operation and where it has resulted, | as the act of March 19, 1919, has re- sulted in the United States in substan- tial economies.
