MAY DAY
CELEBRATION IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA [United Press Association—By Electrfo Te I eg ra pb —Copy rig b t] (Received 3rd May, 9.0 a.m.) NEW YORK, 2nd May. May Day was unusually quiet both in North and South America. Ten thousand people paraded in Brooklyn without a sign of disorder. At Toronto 6000 participants in a celebration at the park clashed, first with college students and secondly with rival factions. One students’ nose was broken and two girls were scratched and bruised. Order was restored quickly. In Buenos Aires sympathies with rival Spanish factions fought with fists and guns in the midst of a parade. Nine were wounded and a woman died of a heart attack caused by the excitement.
