QUIET MAY DAY.
SOCIALISTS V. COMMUNISTS. BITTERNESS IN BERLIN i By Telegraph — Press Association—Copyright j Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. I (Received Ma 3- 2, 2.20 p.m.) LONDON. May 1. Messages from the Continent report that May Day was generally observed very quietly. The French authorities took the most remarkable precautions in Paris, including countless police patrols and also spotting aeroplanes, but fears of disorders arising from the recent discovery of most violent Communist documents were settled by snow, sleet and hail, which kept industrialists indoors. The “Daily Herald’s ’ Berlin correspondent states that there was a general cessation of work and countless processions. The speakers throughout the country mostly assailed Hindenburg’s election as the high water mark of the reactionary tide, but the Socialists in Berlin devoted most of j their time to bitter attacks cn the i Communist Party. The Communists, returning the compliment, blamed the : Social Democrats for the tnumpn of rej action.
