Shoppers WARNING IS SOUNDED Finds Portland's Greatest Economy Store Ready to Serve You Promptly and Efficiently at This Our Most Important Three Sunday Bills Already Are Introduced, One In Senate and Two In House. The Last Call to Christmas BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire ) WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 16. Legislation to enforce observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest In the District of Columbia is being vigorously demanded of congress at this session by various religious and Welfare associations. The Religious Liberty association Is sounding a warning of the ac tivities of "professional reformers" In lobbying for the passage of Dis trict of Colwnbia "blue laws," as serting that "the leaders of the Lord's Day alliance, the National Reform association and interna tional reform bureau are demand ing even more drastic Sunday legis lation than is now proposed." Statement Is iMtfued. In a statement issued today the Religious Liberty association said: 'Chairman Focht of the house district committee states that some of these reform organizations are threatening the members of his committee with political beheadal if they refuse to act on the pending Sunday bills for the District of Co lumbia. These reformers will not be satisfied until they have stopped the sale of Sunday newspapers, the sale of gasoline to automobiles 'on Sunday, Sunday concerts and thea ters; in fact, they are planning to close up every door and every ave nue of secular interest, leaving open only the avenue that leads to the church door on Sunday.". Three Sunday bills have been in troduced, one in the senate and two In the house of representatives, two of which, fathered by Senator Myers, democrat. Montana, and Representative Zihlman, republican, Maryland, provide for one day of rest in seven for employes in cer tain employments, preferably Sun day, and the third presented by Representative Fitzgerald, repub lican, Ohio, forbidding any person to labor or employ others to labor on Sunday except on works of ne cessity or charity, to keep open any theater, moving picture house, dance hall, place of public assembly or amusement for secular purposes, or "to engage in unlawful sports on the Lord's day, commonly called Sunday." " Agmiasion Game Barred. "Unlawful sports," it is explained hy advocates of the bill, would be any games for which an admission fee is charged. The bill makes no exemptions in favor of those ob serving any day other than Sunday and provides for penalties of from 55 to $500 fines or imprisonment of from one to six months, or both. The Fitzgerald bill, the most dras tic of the three, is indorsed by the National Reform association, the Lord's Day alliance, the Pastors' Federation of the District of Co lumbia, the Y. M. C. A. and the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church. Efforts on the part of the reform organizations to get the Fitzgerald bill out of committee have not met with conspicuous success. No dis position is manifested eitner by Representative Focht, republican, Pennsylvania, chairman of the Tiouse committee on the District of Columbia, or other members of the committee either to hold hearings on it or as the Sunday law advo cates prefer, to report it to the house without further delay. , "There are too many laws on the statute books now that can't be en forced," Representative Focht said today.
