MAY DAY RESENTMENT
Lively Demonstrations in Canada. COUNTER ORGANISATIONS. (Received 1 p.m.) VANCOUVER, May 2. Growing resentment against "Reds" was a feature of the May Day demonstrations throughout the Dominion. At Timmins, Ontario, the police were forced to restrain the spectators, who were determined to break up a Communist parade.
At Vancouver, attacks by "Reds" on the Mayor, public officials and the police are creating a situation whereby a number of organisations are offering to handle the "Reds'" challenge to hold a prohibited parade next Saturday. MILD DEMONSTRATIONS. MAY DAY IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, May 2. Although May Day demonstrations were held in many cities in the United States and South and Central America, no reports of serious trouble are to hand.
Sixty thousand Communists and sympathisers paraded in lower New York. Heavy rain kept many spectators away and probably prevented clashes. Three hundred police kept the paraders moving and guarded the City Hall and other buildings.
Demonstrators carried banners bearing devices demanding free rent, food and employment, and denouncing capitalism.
