An organization by them is in the

derstood that the courts would be
asked for injunctions restraining the
mayor and the police from interfering
with the Sunday shows at Coney

millions of dollars invested in the
island declared they were prepared to
carry the matter to the highest
courts.
Managers declare that the new or

that on nearly every one of the six
days of the week their places were
operated at loss and that they depend
on Sunday when there is a normal
attendance of between 100000 and
half million persons at the big sea-
side resort. for profit.
Although injunctions are depended
on, several of the managers an
nounced that they will resort to label
ing their entertainments as institutes
of purely educational character and
thus permissible on Sunday.

owner of Luna park. declared that
all of his shows would be operated
