No Trouble With New Time In Effect Yesterday Morning
Daylight saving went into effect at 2 o clock yesterday with smooth transition. Trains largely met schedule and travelers arrived close to departure times. Some male victims of the change complained loudly while women blamed railroads and lawmakers. Churches reported late arrivals during morning services and collections were affected. Only Massachusetts and Rhode Island fully on the new schedule. Connecticut towns mostly adopted by ordinance. Nashua and Portland also on it. Vermont mostly not. Employers doubt tardiness excuses will hold today.
