A Sunday Bill in Iowa

THE Iowa Workers’ Bulletin of February 2 contains the following: “On Wednesday, January 27, Senator Proudfoot introduced into the Iowa State Senate a bill forbidding practically all manner of amusement conducted for pay on Sunday. The bill was prepared by Rev. J. W. Day, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Des Moines, and is backed by the State Reform Bureau and the Des Moines Ministerial Association. The fact that this Sunday bill was fathered by the ministers, and is being pushed by them, indicates the purpose behind it.”
