Sunday Closing of Poolrooms

LAST week Senator Gallinger, chairman of the Senate Committee of the District of Columbia, introduced in the Senate a bill to amend the law relating to billiard- and pool-rooms, in which there is a provision that they shall be closed twenty-four hours on Sunday. All incorporated clubs conducting pool tables for profit or for a nominal membership will also be required to close on Sunday. Although only a limited number of persons are affected by the provisions of this bill, it yet involves the same question of making a distinction between Sunday and other days of the week which is found in all Sunday bills.
