Sunday Railway Traffic in Virginia

ON April 12 there was held at Lynchburg, Va., a conference which may be the beginning of a movement of considerable importance. Representatives of the various railways of Virginia met an “interdenominational church committee” for a conference over the matter of Sunday traffic. As a result of that meeting, the railways have agreed to discontinue the sale of Sunday excursion tickets in that State. The State corporation committee is to regulate the operation of Sunday passenger- and freight-trains, and a bill will be proposed at the next session of the legislature designed to bring the operation of Sunday railway traffic to the lowest possible limit.
