Petitions Presented

By K. C. R.

The following item appeared in the Washington Times, bearing date of January 24, regarding the petitions which are flowing into Congress against the Sunday bill now pending in the District of Columbia Committee of the Senate: “A large number of petitions against the House bill to close on Sunday ‘certain places of business in the District’ are being presented to the Senate. Senator Overman has lately presented several, and Senator Gearin has presented a large number. The bill prevents Sunday opening of groceries or places where provisions are sold, except from June 1 until October 1. It has passed the House, and is now pending in the Senate. Each petition says Congress would be setting a dangerous precedent in passing the bill.” Let the good work with the petitions go on, and also place your protest against this wicked measure in a letter addressed to your senator.
