DO CHOIR SINGERS LABOR?

Anonymous Letter to Police Board
Says It's Manual Labor.

The police board yesterday received an anonymous communication from a citizen who wishes the lid to be put on church choirs on Sunday. He asks the board to secure evidence for the grand jury. The board filed the letter. Here it is:

Will you please have your officers go to each and every church in the city and secure the name of each and every choir singer, who is not a member of the church, and who does not sing for the uplifting of souls, but for the almighty dollar?
Such people are doing the hardest kind of "manual labor" and should be brought before the grand jury as violators of the Sabbath law.
The letter was signed by "Wideawake."
