Sunday Bills Subject To Public Hearing Before Commissioners
A public hearing before the Commissioners on five Sunday observance bills before Congress is set for this morning at 10 o clock in the District building. The session is expected to draw as much interest as prior hearings on prohibition bills with many letters received from opponents. Rep Allen's December introduced bill aims to defend labor on the first day of the week if the defendant keeps another day for rest and avoids disturbing others. Colcord of the Religious Bureau provided a list of clergy and groups likely to oppose the bills, with Seventh Day Adventists expected to lead the opening opposition, supported by Rabbi Stern and Rabbi Simon and other figures.
