Today working men and of Atlanta asking
will officials of Atlanta paid by and sworn to do
otherwise try begin take down the bars and add the
seventh day to the six others for preying purposes
Working men and women and God poor not de-
ceived.
They know that propose to open moving pictures
Sunday and charge admission those who do not receive
sufficient during the week pay for bread and clothes

They know that the proposal is made neithe for the
sake of Gods poor for working men and women but
simply and purely get money from the public by unaw
fully compelling employees work the Sabbath day
Working and women know and will not stand
for it.
On the contrary saying it is the efort-the
inevitable eort-to force in further the wedge which
