BALTIMORE. Nd. June 1s.--Al-
though holding that the playing Of
professional baseball on Sunday is
unlawful, Judge Walter !. Dawkins
states in an opinion handed down
yesterday in part 8 OF the city court
that the courts have no power to
interfere with Police Commissioner
Gather in his conception of the
proper manner of enforcing the law.
The opinion was turned in the
suit of Robert l.. Graham and others
for Q writ of mandamus requiring
Commissioner Gather to stop the
playing of professional baseball on
Sunday. In his answer the Com
missioner contended that he had
done his duty in sending to the
grand jury names of witness upon
whose testimony indictments could
be found for professional games on
Sunday at oriole Park. The answer
also referred to the fact that the
grand jury had refused to find in
dictments in such cases and that
q petit jury in the criminal court
had refused to convict.

Wages of laborers are fixed at al cents an hour

Under the new system, the Navy Department
stated, man may obtain higher pay by proving his

Unemployment Conference.

DLANS for the conference to be held here on the
unemployment question were brought before the
Cabinet last week 1t was decided that the number Of
delegates should be placed thirty this being slight
advance over the number previously thought to be
necessary to get quick action. The conference will
have as its object ways and means of cutting down
the amount of actual unemployment on the part of
the breadwinners in families distinct from the large
number Of people who went to work merely to obtain
extra pocket money in flush times and whose numbers
are now counted in the figures made public relating
to the total number Of unemployed persons in the nation
II is thought that the number of actual breadwnners
out OF jobs will be much lower than the extremely
large figures representing total unemployment.
Secretary Hoover, who has the conference matters
in charge, stated that the meeting would probably he
held during the week OF September TO- Every effort
is being made to select delegates who will represent
the country geographically and at the same time repre-
sent the larger employment industries. Every group
and class will be represented if possible.
Surveys are now being made by government ex-
perts on the unemployment situation and their figures
will be presented to the conference for basis for
action.
