NEW YORK BONDS.
The London Sunday.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
London hotel keepers are charging the
London Sunday with driving so MANY
American tourists to the continent that
unless measures are taken to replace the
Sabbath stiffness with day of gayety
they declare they will become impover-
1shed through loss of American custom
The hotel managers are not the first to
blame the Sabbath for a diminution of
american summer visitors to the British
Isles. A formidable movement is devel-
oping in London for an open Sunday, and
IT has become customary to associate
this interesting demand with the neces-
sity OF catering to the tourist trade. We
suspect that the good people of London
are seeking to cloak their own desires
for continental Sunday under the in
exOrable requirements Of commerce. and
are endeavOring to shift responsibility for
an eventual abandonment of the old
fashioned Sunday from their own con-
sciences to the hardened hearts of Amer
lean peripatetics. 1t would represent no
unusual phenomenon in history if the
descendants of the Pilgram Fathers, re-
modern liners. were to march upon Lon
don and with their pockets jingling with
gold demand a secular Sabbath for their
own particular amusement.
Truth. however, compels us to warn
the London county council that this is
not the case. 1t Is one of the ancient
habits of Europe to speak sadly Of Lon
don's depressing Sundays. and the adapt
able American doubtless echoes the criti-
cism, but there can be no sincerity in
his complaint We are not familiar with
any wide demand for further liberali-
cation of our own local Sunday ordi-
nances and the New Yorker who does
not criticise his self-made day of rest
can have no grievance against the Lon
don Sunday.
Bronx Park and it's ZOO the public golf
links in Van Cortlandt Park, the Mall
and the shady hooks in Central Park are
the chief Sunday recreative centers Of
the New Yorker. The London zoo is
open Sundays only to the Fellows of the
Zooloeical Society and their friends, but
the public golf links in the environs are
crowded with Sunday players; there is
Sunday music in Hyde Park. and the
beautiful Botanical Gardens at Kew are
available for Sunday outings.

The experts usually look quite as fool

A Fve-Day Week.
rom the New York World.

= IOuI tue new YORK World.
The resolution of the British Miners,
Federation favoring a five-day week has
yet to receive the approval of the men in
the mines, but it is interesting as evil
dence of progress toward the ideal condi-
tons of a minimum of work along with
maximum of leisure and of pay
six days shalt thou labor was the
Mosaic law. but, having improved on the
other commandments, there is no reason
why this one should not be altered to suit
modern demands. In effect a five-and-a-
halliday week now exists in many indus
tries. and doubtless it is feasible for
miners to shorten 1T by another halliday
Yet If all the worlds workers were to de-
vote two days week to idleness if
engine drivers, factory operators, freight
handlers, telegraph and telephone opera
tors. postmen. bookkeepers, clerks and all
were to demand another day off, how
then would the worlds work be done?
A. five-day week is. of course, impossible
at sea. as it Is impossible on land among
employees in transportation and other
trades In many industries where
1t is possible it's Introduction would neces-
sarily be at the expense of efficiency, and
the benefit of the additional leisure to
those enjoying it is problematical. But
the prospect of a semi-leisured class
among industrial workers. such as miners
with five-day week would be, is sug-
gestive in connection with the tendency
which the proposal reveals.
