We presume the sun, moon and stars will make an attempt to ignore the orders of the Railroad Convention, but they, too, will have to give in at last. Opposition Encountered A news dispatch appearing in the Chicago Tnbune a few days be- fore the change reported that the people of Cincinnati favored the reten- tion for general purposes of local time. A dispatch from Rockford, 111. , two days before the time set for the change, said: ''The time here is taken from the Rockford Watch Company, and th...ey are opposed to the change, as are the majority of their customers. " An officer of the United States Coast Survey, writing in Science Magazine said, "All ordinary business everywhere must be forever con- ducted on local mean solar time, and we may rightly ask the railroad companies to give in their timetables for public use the mean local time for the departure and arrival of trains. " AVebb C. Ball, founder of the Ball Railway Time Service, related that many citizens were so in the habit of observing "sun-time" that they bitterly resented the change.
