The Evening Bulletin discusses class legislation and the California Supreme Court decision striking down the Barber's Sunday closing law. It notes constitutional rights to labor, equal privileges, and argues the act punishes labor by restricting barber work on Sundays after noon.
The argument, noting steam car and streetcar operatives, mill workers, and daily papers, contends a law banning Sunday labor is unjust. It asserts no sound reason exists to single out one useful occupation for restriction while others remain free, framing the decision as a broad liberty issue and implying barber shops can stay open on Sundays if no general ban applies.
Minister Damon's argument in the Senate proposes that rising wine consumption reduces spirits intake.

Also notes the steamship Doric due tomorrow, expected to become a travel favorite after its Liverpool to San Francisco run.
