PARADES AND ORATORY
VIRTUALLY NO DISORDERS
NEW YORK, Ist May. May Day celebrations were observed throughout the United States with parades and oratory, but virtually no disorders. A few arrests were made, the majority being of women, and children accused of spreading radical propaganda in New york schools. Communists and war veterans guarded Union square, the latter hearing addresses against the agitators, and the former expressing opposition to capitalism; but the two groups kept apart without clashes. Slight disturbances occurred in Boston throughout the- day, when Communists gathered on the commons, but the police had little trouble in keeping the peace
