assist in tho enforcement OF that portion
Of the Penal Code which relates to
the closing of business houses on
Sunday II Is composed especially Of roiaIl dealers,
n part OF whom have hitherto been compelled toe open
their places of business on Sunday in order to meet
the comp ttlon OF their less scrupuOuS neigh
bors The League does not at present ann IFS shafts
n GGuOT saloons. We shall make no arrests our
selves II one of our mcmbers finds store open on
sunday no viii Immediately present the proprietor
with copy of the laws. -, If the
man pays 10 attention TO them the

ol TIC police. Tomorrow shall not DO much
than take general survey OF lut CITY IlCIc-
after we shall CndcaYOr - carry out our plans"
Does the League object to the sale of newspapers
or ne running OF elevated trans, sreet-cars and
ferries /"
Certainly not. If we can bring about the en- |
forccnent OF the law IN regard TO the closing or
business houses, We may, perhaps, take a step |
further As far IS stLe street cars arc concerned

the streets than those old stages which were |
formerly run sundays"
''Will inspectors be employed By the League

insrrotor We do not intend 10 us3 money Tor the |
rnploymcnt of msp ictOIS. meet ng Of the League

more perfect method Of work will probably be |
adopted"
