The New York State Legislature last night was presented with a bill making it a misdemeanor to advertise that a restaurant or hotel in New York is restricted to the patronage of persons of any particular race, creed or color. The measure was introduced in the State Senate by Bronx Senator Helman.

In the Assembly two bills were introduced to permit Jewish merchants to keep their shops open on Sunday, if they closed them on Saturday. These bills were introduced by Assemblyman Philip Schupler and A Warbel, both of Brooklyn.
