MAY DAY.
AMERICAN DEMONSTRATIONS. PARADES OF COMMUNISTS. NO SERIOUS TROUBLE. United Tress Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright. NEW YORK, May 1. 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 carted banners bearing devices demanding free rent, food and employment, and denouncing capitalism.
