Repeal of Daylight Saving Law Passed in Senate and House
In Washington the daylight saving statute was killed as both chambers voted to repeal the wartime measure. The Senate backed repeal 56 to 6 and the House 233 to 122, with October 26 set as the repeal date in the Senate version and October 30 in the House version, likely requiring a conference to reconcile timing. Senator En Follette of Wisconsin pushed the repeal. Senator Williams of Mississippi protested the move as usurping executive and state authority. Farmers and lawmakers argued it harmed farming schedules, milking times, and daily work, while opponents warned the measure would mislead the public.
