"The Sunday closing of this spectacle
would be very unfortunate for many
thousands Of our countrymen who
would be tempted to spend the day in dissi-
patton. In their name l would favor open

with provisions that all the machinery
should be stopped and oil mechanical and
leboring work that will not be urgently nec-
essary should close. In this / do not see
any desecration Of the holiness Of the day."
