The Bartenders’ Six-Day Week

The Rev. William Nat Friend, pastor of the Howard Presbyterian Church, and chairman of the Industrial Activities Committee of the San Francisco Church Federation, has pledged his support to the bartenders' union in its effort to secure a six-day week for all employees of saloons in San Francisco. It would be much better if the two hundred saloons of San Francisco where bartenders are working seven days a week, and all others where they are not so working, were closed every day. This law, however, is not so much designed for a Sunday law, but simply to secure one day of rest in the week. The object of it, however, in the end is a Sunday law.
