THE SUNDAY LID AT LITTLE ROCK
Causes Several Serious Complica
tions And Leads to $20,000
Damage Suit
Little Rock, June 1.—Little
Rock is having serious trouble
keeping her Sunday lid on straight.,
A short time ago a number of
grocers and exclusive butchers
petitioned the city council to close
up all meat markets on Sunday;
the ordinance was passed and went
into effect last Sunday; then an
other faction of meat dealers, who
have grocery stores in connection
with their business, tiled informa
tion before justices of the peace
against a large number of business
houses, including the street rail
way, alleging that they had vio
lated the Sunday law; and these
business houses retaliate by filing
suit against the members of the
committee which caused the com
plaints to be tiled against them for
$20,000 damages to their interests.
The Butchers’ Union, in published
cards, deny that they have any
part in the prosecution of the
other business interests, and assert
that they got all they wanted when
they secured the passage of the
ordinance closing all the butcher
shops on Sunday; some allege that
the butcher shops should be allow
ed to keep open at least two hours
Sunday mornings to enable the
poor people who have no ice-boxes |
so lay in their supply of meat for ^
the day, and others say this is im
practicable and that the poor man
does not demand it so much as the
rich man. Factions are forming,
bitterness will result, church will
be arrayed against business, and
business against church; there are
found liberal minds in each who
will favor a common sense Sun
day, and others who would like to
see the city look like a deserted
village on Sunday.
All law-abiding citizens want a
strict enforcement of the Sunday
law, but they are constrained to
believe that things were moving
along very well before this agita- ^
tion was started.
It is folly to imagine for ai
minute that the street cars will be,
stopped on Sunday, and it is i
doubtful if there is even a preach j
or in the city who would go so far,
as to ask it.
REMARKABLE niSBAP
Leslie, June 1.—A large cast,,1
iron jointer wheel six feet in di- i
ameter exploded in the Pekia
Stave Company’s plant here, two
pieces of which went through the
roof, one piece through the floor
and the frame of the building was
cut in several places. Two of the
employees were sitting on a bench
eating the noon lunch out of a tin
bucket. A piece of the wheel
passed between them cut the
bucket through the center, left the
bottom on the bench, went through
the wall of the dry house, broke
a steam pipe and cut a large piece
out of the center sill of the build
ing. One of the employees was
cut on the hand, which made a
painful wound, but fortunately
broke no bones. If the accident
had happed twenty minutes earlier
while the men were at their work
several of them would have been
killed.
