Saloons Evade Sunday Closing Law

The lower-class saloons of New York City are now ordered closed on Sunday, and the "upper class" saloons are warned that they must not tolerate any noisy customers on that day. The Raines-Law "hotels" are now very careful to issue the sandwich with each drink. By doing this, they are "hotels" and are allowed to keep open on Sunday.
