I heard that it was commercial lobbies. Such as golf (I guess it used to 
be a bigger industry), they wanted people to get off work in time to 
play a few holes.

Also, retailers wanted it, thinking people would be out shopping more if 
they got off work an hour early.

Farmers hated it.

-kb, the Kent who is also old enough to remember the early water 
fluoridation wars.
