HURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1924. NDAY CLOSING (Continued From Page One) js a 15-cent can of sardines on nd i 5 ttorney Lacy brought out the Fgument of the small grocerymen, fho for the most part they do their n work and do not employ clerks. nd that they are mostly young men th small stocks of goods. “I re- mt the under dog,” he said. We admit that it is not a religious fon, that it is an economic uestion and a question,of health, stores will be glad to close and main closed if all other stores ndling the same commodities are d to close. But we contend that we have been grossly dis- riminated eS ‘Among the protests handed in one with 27 signatures of small ocers. A number of these small res proprietors voiced their opin- at the meetings. The main line of their arguments was to the ffect that many of their patrons bought from day to day and because of financial difficulties would+ be atly handicapped if {t were made impossible for them to buy on Sun- day, that many customers were ruck drivers and ranchers who could not buy except on Sunday, that some patrons received their checks too late Saturday night to make purchases before Sunday, that the grocerymen themselves lived in the store buildings and did net hire help, and that opening on Sunday vas an: accommodation to their cus- tomers, and that they would lose considerable trade if they had to lose. ee Rey, V. J. Johns of the Seven Day Advehtist church handed in a petition of protest bearing about 600 names. The Rev. Johns based his arguments for the repeal on the grounds that‘theordinance was dan- gerous legislation and that it pro- vided an entering wedge for strenu- ous blue laws of the future. “Tt is well known that there fs an organization known as the National Reform association which wants an amendment to the Constitution of the United States which will safeguard the’ Sunday institution,” he said. “You gentlemen have passed the mildest measure of any city I have been in but you are setting a pre- cedent and a council in another five years may pass a blue law as rigor- ous as those of old colonial days. The most dangerous legislation is legislation with regard to religious matters. A Sunday law ts a relig- ous law. You will have no end of trouble if yon have a law of this kind rigidly enforced.” Among those who spoke in favor of the ordinance were the Rev. Charles G. Stout, Earl of the Holmes hardw: pe Judge John M. Hen attorney and also proprietor of the Hench grocery and market. Judge Hench expressed the opin- fon, that getting the people to obey the law would be merely a matter of education. He scouted the the- ORDINANGE TO. fem GIVEN TRIAL BY THE COUNCIL |] between places, of amusement and grocery 58 ‘The places of amusement, argued, were the right of the laborimg man and should not be taken away from him. He also brought out the other points that the question is not one of blue laws or religion but one of unfair competition, He also argued that {f the present ordinance were repealed the council should take steps to pass another regulating the hours of work in grocery ctores. The Rev. Stout, pastor of the Sec- ond Christian church, made an im- passioned plea for Sunday closing on the grounds of health, rest and ion. He quoted the state- ments of those who had testified to working late Saturday and then all day Sunday and sald that such work was nothing less than tragedy. As for the religious phase “anybody knows you cannot put a religious -yoke about anybody's neck,” he exclaimed. “You could produce the same religious argu- ments against this law that you could .produce against the law for murder.” Mr. Holmes represented the busi- ness men and clerks down town. He said that these men were not jeal- ous of the business done by the sub- urban stores but that he felt a sauare deal was deserved by the clerks in those stores and that Sun- day business meant unfair com- Petition. A number of other citizens spoke along the same general line of argu- ment.

He stated his confidence in it and his opinion of the things for which it stood. © It was decided not to take any action by the council but merely to permit the ordinance to ride and to be enforced until such time as a better ordinance can be drawn if such a developnient is possible.
