Therefore, they say. no funerals should be
held on Sunday, except in case of necessity.

of permitting secret orders to hold services
at the grave, on the ground that double
service was unnecessarily hard on all
parties copccrned.

Attorney-Ge Sheets says that there
is no way of compelling the manufacturers
to obey the law, except 20 bring proceed
ings in mandatory injunction, asking the
Court to issue an order compelling the
owners of the factory to refrain from in
reference with the inspector, and to obey
his orders.
