WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. President
Wilson today vetoed the bill repealing
the daylight saving law.
The president said he returned the
bill without his approval with "the ut
most reluctance" because he realized
"the very considerable, and in some re
spects very serious inconvenience, to
which the daylight-saving law subjects
the farmers of the country."
Declaring the pressing need of the
country was for production by Indus
try, the president said he had been
obliged to "balance one set of disad
vantages against another," and decide
which was the more serious for the
country.
The president's message was sent to
Speaker Gillctt, but when an effort
was made to present it to the house
Representative Blanton, c'.emocrat, Tex-
rs, made a point of no quorum, and
the house adjourned without the mes
sage being read.
Two Vetoes Set Precedent.
This was the second time the presi
dent had vetoed repeal of the law.
White House officials and members of
congress could not recall a previous
instance of a president having twice
vetoed the same bill. Leaders in con
gress doubt that the two-thirds' vote
necessary to pass the repeal measure
over the president's head can be ob-
ined.
The president's message vetoing the
bill follows:
"To the House of Representatives:
"I return this bill, H. R. 3S54. 'An act
for the repeal of the daylight-saving
law," without my signature, but do so
with the utmost reluctance. I realize
the very considerable, and in some re
spects very serious. Inconvenience to
which the daylight law subjects the
farmers of the country, to whom we
owe the crreatese consideration and
who have distinguished themselves dur
lug these recent years of want by pa
triotic endeavors worthy of all praise.
But I have been obliged to balance one
set of disadvantages against another
and to venture a Judgment as to which
were the more serious for the country.
I'rodnetlon Held Stimulated.
"The immediate and pressing need of
and increasing production, in all lines
of industry. The disorganization and
dislocation caused by the war have
told nowhere so heavily as at the in
dustrial centers in manufacture and
in the many industries, to which the
country and the whole world must look
to supply needs which cannot be ig
nored or postponed. It is to these that
the daylight-saving law is of mos
service. It ministers to economy an
to efficiency. And the interest of th
farmer is not in all respects separated
om these interests. He needs wha
the factories produce along with the
rest of the world. He Is profited by
lhe prosperity which their success
brings about. His own life and roeth
ods are more easily adjusted, I venture
to think, than thoso of the manufac
turer and the merchant.
"These are considerations which have
led me to withhold my signature from
this repeal. I hope that they are con
ulcerations which will appeal to the
thotghtful Judgment of the house, and
In the long run to the thoughtful Judg
meut of the farmers of the country
who have always shown an admirable
public spirit."

to Be Admitted.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. Changes in
the nation's immigration policy were
proposed in a bill introduced today by
Senator Dillingham, republican, of Ver
mont, and referred to the immigration
committee.
Under the measure the number of
aliens of any nationality who might
be admitted to the country annually
would be limited to 6 per cent of the
number of such nationality already
here. The restriction, however, would
not apply to immigrants who are na
tives of countries in, the western hemis
phere. The bill also would repeal all spe
cial laws directly or indirectly relat
ing to immigration from China, Japan
and other Oriental countries.
Senator Dillingham said the bill
would not open the door to Increased
Asiatic immigration, owing to the
small number of nationals of those
countries now In the United States.

resentment of the activities of the re

Paris market stocks today were far

The authorities have taken action to
check fresh outbreaks in the vicinity
of the markets and also to prevent
waste of foodstuffs. One of the meas
ures which receives general approval
is a decree that all dealers publish
their prices, which will be compared
with the "normal prices' 'officially set.
The league of consumers, which had
marked success in lowering prices, has
