MAY DAY
DEMONSTRATIONS IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA NO SERIOUS TROUBLE COMMUNIST PARADE AT NEW YORK (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) NEW YORK, Ist May. Although May Day demonstrations were held in many cities in South' and Central America and the United States, there an as yet no reports of serious trouble. 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-. They guarded the City Hall and other buildings. The demonstrators carried banners demanding free rent, food, and employment, and denounced capitalism.
As May Day fell on Sunday many demonstrations in the United States were held yesterday.
