Join Forces To Curb Sunday Store Hours Churches, Unions And Merchants Join WASHINGTON (UPJ — Churches, labor unions and merchants* associations in many parts of the country are joining forces in an effort to curb the growing tend-' ency of retail stores to conduct “business as usual” on Sunday. Sunday selling, ohce confined largely to drug stores and delicatessens, has been spreading rapidly into other lines of business during the last few years. In many communities, the “Open oh Sunday" sign is now commonplace in automobile agencies, appliance, hardware and furniture stores, and even supermarkets. Both Protestant and Catholic leaders are alarmed by this new challenge to the already battered tradition of Sabbath observance. They consider it a far more fundamental threat to the church's teachings than Sunday movies and baseball games, against which some religious groups fought a losing battle half a generation ago. Sunday amusements could be defended on the grounds that they were a form of rest, at least for the audience. But liberal as well as conservative theologians can see no such justification tor the seven day retail business week. It is, they feel, a clearcut denial of the ancient insight, incorporated in the third commandment and strongly supported by the findings of modern psychology, that man needs to set aside one day a week to refresh his spirit with irorship and rest. Church crusades against Sunday selling are getting powerful support in some areas from labor unions and from businessmen Who are suffering from "Open on Sunday" competition. Such a three-way alliance was formed to Minneapolis, Minh., recently. when some large food stores tried to remove from union contracts provisions which prohibit Sunday work. Union resistance to the demand was backed up by the Retail Grocers Assn. Then the churches got into the fight. The coordinating council of the Methodist church issued a strong statement calling on ‘'the members of our churches in particular and society in general to refrain from All unnecessary baseness activity on Sunday.” Lutheran and Presbyterian Churches fdllowed suit, and Minneapolis Baptists went even further by urging their members to" boycott throughout the week any store that remained open on Sunday. Confronted with this storm of protest, the food stores which had proposed Sunday operation backed down, at least temporarily, and dropped their demand for a change in union rules. In Indianapolis, the Automobile Dealers Assn., voted at its annual convention to seek a state law making it mandatory for automobile dealers to close on Sunday. Nationally circulated church publications meanwhile are reminding their readers that there is one simple thing that every Christian can do to check the spread of Sunday selling: Quit buying on Sunday. “They won’t stay open on Sunday very Jong if they don't do ally business on Sunday,” said the
