A campaign for the abolition of the Jewish Sabbath as well as the Mohammedan and the Christian, was inaugurated today by the Turkish Parliamentarian, Yunus Nady Bey.
The Turkish Deputy demands that work be continuous for seven days weekly in view of the economic crisis. Under present conditions, he points out, Turkey now has three days of rest weekly, since all three religious groups observe their Sabbath on different days.
The employers, as well as Kemal Pasha, favor the idea of the seven day week, it is believed.
