SUNDAY LABOR AND THE LAW

y NDAI labor And The LAW
II Is well known 10 those who have
given the subject any attention that
the question of Sunday labor is unset
tied in the United States. Not only Is
the law regulating or restricting such
labor openly disregarded in many
states, especially in large and cosmo-
poiltan cities. but the principles of
sunday legislation are neither fixed
nor definite. The usual rule is toIer-
ably familiar-works OF necessity or
charity are deemed to be legal ON the
day OF rest. But this formula Is OBJ
Vlously rather elastic. Who can define
what work OF necessity IS?
