SENATE FORCED /.
"OUSTER LAW"
Refused to Adopt Measure

Act Only.
SWEEPING IN TERMS
Principally to Sabbath Day,
Owing to Liberal Interpretation
Given 1t. - T.

If there is any real danger OF the
custer laws interfering with Sab
bath-day conviences which have
come to be regarded by the people as
necessary, the House of Delegates
of Virginia may virtuously shift the
burden of blame to the upper house.
which alone was responsible for
broadening the law to make it apply
to every case in which local or State
officials have been found guilty of
failing to enforce the statutes.
The "ouster- bill" chapter of the
proceedings of the last General As
sembly is an interesting one. Late
last January, when the Mapp prohibit
tion bill was introduced in the Sen
ate, announcement was made by the
prohibition leaders that there would
follow shortly an custer bill design
ed to strengthen the enforcement OF
the prohibition, anti-vice, and anti
gambling laws.
At that time it was not contem-
plated to make the custer law gen
cral in its application. "The right
arm of prohibition" is what the ''dry''
leaders called the bill. It's very Ian
guage limited it in application to Of
fcers charged with the nonenforce-
ment' of the socalled moral meas
ureS ~
In this form it was reported by the
Senate Committee on Moral and So
cial Welfare, on February ID. On
February 81, when the bill came up
on it's passage, the Senate attached
the amendment which made the law
universal in application and which
now threatens the State with a sea-
son of "blue law" enforcement re-
riniscent of the days of the Puritan
fathers.
at would make US the laughing
stock of the Senate" said Senator
Carrcn, of Richmond, on the fateful
February 26, "to solemnly sit here,
and by implication, put the stamp
of our approval upon the nonenforce-
ment of other laws, provided officers
did their duty in the enforcement OF
these special statutes. If we are to
have such law, by all means make
it general in it's application"
There was no evading the logic OF
this argument, and the Senate pro-
ceeded to amend the right arm OF
prohibition" by making it also the
right and left arm of the Code OF
Virginia. The Code, be it remember
ed. is quite bulky. Among other
things, it forbids LABOR on Sunday
except the limited activities render
ed necessary by ones household du
ties and others that are exempted
under the head Of works of nee
essity" or charity"
The long-headed House Committee
on Moral and Social Welfare appar
ently had a vision of the storm thai
would follow the enactment of the
Senate measure and promptly eX
cised the broadening" amendment
leaving the bill as it was originally
| introduced, applying only to officer
charged with the non-enforcement o
the "moral" laws. The House ltsel

committee and it went back to tn
Senate for concurrence in the com
mittee amendment.
