Another Sunday Bill for the District of Columbia

By W. A. C.

The following, from the Washington (D. C.) Herald of April 7, shows that the friends of Congressional Sunday legislation for the District of Columbia are intent on securing some legislation of this kind, if possible, and that they do not intend to be discouraged nor defeated by any opposition, argument, or delays:—
“District Assessor Richards is preparing a bill which he will submit to the Commissioners for the purpose of requiring moving-picture theaters to close on Sunday. The proposed legislation is the outcome of numerous complaints received from churches and citizens, claiming the moving-picture show on Sunday is a nuisance.”
Besides two measures proposing a religious amendment to the Constitution, four Sunday bills have already been introduced into the present Congress. This, if introduced, will make five, and all for the District of Columbia.
