Sunday legislation debate shows class conflict over leisure
In the House, amendments to a Sunday recreation bill drew sharp lines between rich and poor. Critics argued it shields the wealthy while denying the poor any Sunday refreshments, with speeches from Hindley, Scatter, Aycock, Evans and Hart urging withdrawal or revision for broader liberty and enforceable limits. The debate moved toward committee, with concerns about metropolitan reach and enforcement, and a companion bill on member disqualification briefly discussed.
