open seven days week. AS it is acknowledged that the
opposition Of these societies to the last charter
count of the absence of such clause had considerable to
do with it's defeat it puts the committee in awkward
position.
In fact, it will be between two horns of serious
dilemma 1t is doubtful if the Legislature will approve
a charter with such provision in it. While most of
the country members have personal moral objec
ton to saloons keeping open Sundays and all other
times they afraid of the wrath of their constituents
who have On the other hand the opposition of the
United Societies is to be considered when it to
the referendum needed to make the charter effective
At the meeting of the committee yesterday Walter
Michaels behalf Of the societies. served notice that
Monday he would introduce amendment providing
that the question whether saloons be open in Chicago
