PEOPLES FORUM
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE BILLS

t4uitVI IIlUuUc.
\ most notable contest between the
forces that are working for religious
bondage and the advocates that arc
.hampiOning the cause Of religious
freedom is now raging in congress
over four drastic compulsory Sunday
observance bills which are aimed at
he liberties of the people in the Dis
.rict' Of Columbia.
From March until the end of the
| month seven public hearings on these
measures were held and ut the con-
clusion of the seventh, Chairman Nc
Lcod. before whose committee these
hearings were held announced that
he date for the next session would
have to be indefinite because Of the
bitterness, hatred and religious in
tolerance that were being engende red.
A clergyman in favor Of the measures
md a moving picture promoter
against them rushed at each other.
II the last hearing with clenched
fists, and defiantly called each other
liar, so intense was the feeling
manifested
Leaders from more than 20 differ
ent religious and reform organiza-
tlons lined up before the judiciary
! subcommittee Of the House District
Committee to fol ;, their pet puritanic
Sunday bills through. thus making
the most formidable array Of reli-
gious zealots and the longest and
most severely contested fight ever
staged before Il congressional COM
mittee on religious issue.
|. 1t IS anticipated that the ll Tie VIII
continue to rage through this and
he next session Of Congress before
this burning question is finally set
tied.
For nearly $50 years attempts have
been made by certain religious Or
CARNATIONS to induce congress to
enact compulsory Sunday observance
measures and other religious enact
inents, but, so far, congress has con-
sistently and persistently refused on
constitutional grounds to yield to
the demand Of religious organizations
and there is not 4 single Sunday law
IN the Federal Statute books today
for the territory over which the ma
tional government holds jurisdiction.
| The fact that our federal government
is completely divorced from religi-
Gus establishments has been great
aggravatlon to the religious and pro-
fessional reformers throughout the
nation because such legislation is the
wedding ring back Of their affections
to unite church and state in unholy
wedlock in America.
The enactment into law Of sectar-
ian customs and observanccs as ac-
cepted and promulgated by the ma
jority of Christian believers is part
of their program to nationalize and
establish the Christian religion by
law. The District of Columbia Sun
day law. they say. is to become a
model law for the whole nation. The
effect Of such legislation would be to
require all men to have one standard
Of religion. and the federal govern
ment to define and enforce that stan
dard. Differences. of opinion if re-
dncad to practice would be suppress
ed by law. and the dissenter would
be coerced under the penal codes.
This in effect is the program of
the religious lobby at Washington.
