SUNDAY BILL;
34 T018 VOTE
Hearing to Come on Social Wel
fare Bill in Senate Next
Monday
By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON. April 3.—On the eve
of its closing next week the State Sen.
ate will be confronted with a deter
mined fight on the Hyland Bill to
legalize Sunday ••movies” and other
forms of entertainment and sports on
the day of rest. The house of ..ssem
bly. by a vote of 34 to 19 has endors
ed the measure and it now goes to
the upper blanch of the Legislature.
Those who voted for it come mainly
. from the populous sections of the
State. The vote was as tyjllows.
Ayee—Augenblick, Barret, Bowen,
< 'asale, Oopplnger, Cross, Donovan,
Downs, Evans, Finley, FY>xhall, Fre
und, Gaede, Headley, Hershfield, Hy
land, Judge, Kirkpatrick, McAteer,
.Morgan, Muro, Nolan, Rogers, Schultz,
Slegler, Silver, Simpson, Snow, Stan
ton, Sullivan, Tattersal), Whalen.
Young, of Morris County.
Nays—Agan, Ammcrman, Black
well, Blair, Cochran, Gill, Glover,
Keliman, Lake, Lewis, Moore, Pier
son. Reeves, Robinson, Shields, Tozer,
Warner, Wight and Young, of Mon
mouth County.
The bill was advocated by Demo
cratic Leader Barrett, of Newark. He
said it carried a referendum giving
the people of each community the
right to decide for themselves whether
they wapted the Sunday amusements.
He declared the measure contained
propafc. checks to Prevent *n abuse- of
its provSTori”
One hearing was hold on the bill
before the house committee on so
cial welfare. but for some reason the
opponents never heard it announced
and failed to be present. It is under
stood they will marshal their forces
S on the Senate now and demand a
public hearing in that body.
Assemblyman Warner. Republican,
of Union, charged that unfair tactics
had been engaged in in the House
when the hearing was planned. This
he said had prejudiced him against
the bill. Agans. of Hunterdon, a
Democrat, and Lewis, of Monmouth,
a Republican, both attacked the bill.
“I am opposed to commercializing
the Sabbath,” said the Hunterdon
member. “No legislature has the
right to conflict with the taw of God.
, I am Just as much a Christian in the
New Jersey Legislature as I am in my
own home town. This is a very vic
ious bill. It would drive a wedge in
the Sabboth and open the way for the
establishment of the Continental Sun
day which has been the ruination of
Europe.
Lewis said a higher question than
that contended for by the proponents
of the bill—the providing of recrea
tion for the people—was involved,
namely, the keeping sacred of the
Seventh day of the week. He charged
that “money making” and not the
>elfare of the people was the real j
reason behind the bill.
Assemblyman Wight, of Middlesex,
wanted to know why an opportunity
had not been given the opponents of
the Dill to protest against it at the
public hearing. Barrett answered
that they had. Assemblyman Warner
then declared that he had searched
high and low for evidence to prove
that the hearing date was ever given
proper publication and had failed to
find the information.
Barrett declared himself to be a
Christian, as well as Agans, and a
church member, and added that
there was nothing inconsistent with
religion or church teachings In the
Hyland bill.
Delegation From Here.
As president of the Civic Better
ment League, Joseph F. Walker, when
Informed this morning that assembly
bill 291. which provides for a legal
ized commercialization of the Sab- i
bath had passed the assembly yes
terday by a vote of S4-19, declared
that he and as large a delegation as
> possible would journey to Trenton
Monday and as representatives of the
league enter a vigorous protest against
the bill when it comes up before Sen
ator Hammond’s commute for a pub
lic hearing in the senate at 2 o’clock
in the afternoon.
It is generally believed by members
of the league here and by others who
are strenuously opposed to the Hyland
legislation, that the bill can be de
feated if a large number go down to
Trenton on Monday and indicate by
their presence that there Is a decided
sentiment adverse to the measure,
which. It Is asserted by some, would
practically abrogate the American
Sabbath. It Is known here that sev
eral of the Protestant ministers of
the city Intend to attend the hearing |
on Monday and present arguments
against the measure relative to its as
pect in regard to religion.
It was remarked also this morning
that the league had anticipated the
bill would pass the assembly because
of the unfair hearing which It was
accorded in the assembly, when It
came before .that body for discussion
a week ago Monday. It is also
thought that the legislation Is entirely
too liberal in its fnternretatlon and
that it is not for the betterment of
the people, aa Is asserted, but for
mere pecuniary gain to the managers
and owners of places which would be
benefited by the passage of the bill.

the weather. If the weather is such
as not to permit a flight it will take
place the next day.

Much Being Done—A Chance
for Everybody to Aid in
Great Work
The EVENING NEWS has received
several requests this week from resi
dents of this city and vicinity asking
for information on the matter of se
curing their citizenship papers. These
letters have been forwarded to the
Bureau of Naturalization offices at
Philadelphia and the desired Informa
tion will be secured from the federal
officers there.
The great activity being shown
among foreigners who have not yet se
cured their citizenship papers but who
are now taking necessary steps to so
make It appear as if what might be
termed an "Americanization boom"
had been started in this city. The
court at New Brunswick has been
visited by Perth Amboyans during the
past week or so In large numbers
and the enthusiasm shown by the
Russians of the city at the big Ameri
canization mass meeting held last
Sunday In Pulaski Hall speaks for It
self.
This work, the full realization of
the size and importance of which is
gradually coming to the citizens of
this oountry, offers a splendid oppor
tunity for real Americans to lend a
helping hand to their foreign brothers.
By pointing out American Ideals to
, the foreigner and ,.meeting him half
way-’, in business and social projects,
the non-citizen soon begins to realize
that living in this country as an alien
does not hold for him all the pos
sibilities which would be his if he was
the possessor of his flnal papers and
a better American.
Many of those who desire papers
have not the sllghest idea of how to
proceed and many others who know
the routine through which they must
pass do not care to be bothered with
the court proceedings connected with
the securing of their papers. If, how
ever, each citizen would take it upon
himself to carry on an Americaniza
tion and naturalization propoganda
campaign of his own among these
foreigners, they would see the matter
in the right light, realize the advan
tages of becoming an American citi
zen and become enthusiastic to join
the hundreds who have come to this
country from foreign shores but now
proudly display their citizenship
papers and assert themselves to be
true Americans.

This is tho command which U being
echoed and re-echoed throughout the
length and breadth of the land today.
It Is the command of an awakened

civilian pursuits. Then again rela

save money for Liberty Bonds and
other necessary money raising cam
paigns, practiced thrift to a great de
gree, many making their old suit and
coat due for another season, but now
that this need is to a great extent over,
people will find the desire to look up
to the minute in their dress return
ing and urged to take advantage of
the new spring styles and reduced
prices offered during the Dress Up
week.
The weather man has promised fine
weather for the week and the mer
chants are placing their stores in
readiness for the event, which is ex
pected to flood the city with shoppers
from the surrounding country.
