Opposition to Sunday Legislation

The advocates of Sunday legislation are using their influence to secure the passage of the bill favorably recommended to the Senate by the Committee on the District of Columbia. W. F. Crafts, the secretary of the International Reform Bureau, desires to have a change made, so that the exemption provided in it shall not be so broad. In his opinion, even persons who observe some other day than Sunday should not be wholly exempted from the provisions of the proposed legislation, and should not be permitted to do any public work. The Hebrews of Washington, Baltimore, and New York are now planning to make a united and vigorous protest against Senator Johnston's bill, and considerable opposition may yet develop when this matter comes before the Senate for action. Those who wish to write to any senator, protesting against this Sunday legislation, should refer to the substitute for Senate Bill No. 3940, as this is the bill now before the Senate.
