Heflin Bill Would Penalize Sabbath Labor in D.C

Representative Heflin, of Alabama, introduced into the House on the sixth inst., a bill (H.R. 14690) “Prohibiting labor on buildings, and so forth, in the District of Columbia, on the sabbath day,” punishing infraction thereof by a fine of “not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than five hundred dollars.” This bill is substantially the same as one previously introduced by the same representative.
