New York, May 1.-The May day pa
rade tonight in this city was not quite
as successful as expected. The Central
Labor Union was out of it, and it was
confined altogether to the Central Labor
Federation, the socialists and the United
Hebrew Trades. 1t is a liberal estimate to
say that 5000 people took part in it all told
but more than three times that number
looked on. The socialist element seemed
to preponderate, and there were more
red flags than any others in the line Of
march. The parade was divided into
three sections. They came from different
parts of the city, meeting at Union
square, where they were reviewed and
dismissed.
Then they gathered in the plaza where
they listened to speeches by several
labor orators, most of whom were social
lists
OBJECT OF THE PARADE.
The object of the parade was to agitate
for less work and more wages"
The Central Labor Federation is back
ing the socialists up in the agitation. AT
least forty different organizations were in
line tonight, and nearly every one of
them carried signs referring to the eight
hour day. There were other
notices scattered here and there
through the procession, such as
Down With Capital" Capital
means slavery" etc. The demonstration
passed of orderly. There was nothing
more for the police to do than to keep the
crowd in order One feature of the parade
was the presence in the procession Of
about 800 marching women.
CLEvELAND's PARADERs UGLY.
Cleveland, O, May 1.-The unemployed
of Cleveland celebrated May day with a
meeting a procession that was marked
by several riotous demonstrations, and
by listening to and applauding a
rank anarchistic address delivered on
the public square when they had
finished their marching. The procession
was composed of between 5000 and 10000
men and boys, mostly foreigners. During
all the disturbances not a single arrest
was made, the police evidently not desir-
ing TO court trouble with mob in such an
ugly temper.
MAY DAY IN LONDON
London, May Though the weather
was cold, damp and disagreeable all day,
the socialists, according to programme,
gathered their supporters on the Thames
embankment at o'clock to-day. The
gathering was not a large one, but the EN-
thusasm, as evinced by the cheers and
shouts, was of high order A procession
was formed, including about twenty
vehicles. filled with woman and chill
dren, carrying red flags and banners, and
accompanied by bands of music, and the
line started for Hyde Park, where a
meeting was held, and the usual
resolutions condemning everything
but socialiam, were passed. The
resolution favoring the international
solidarity of labors was received with
prolonged cheering. The procession was
accompanied by an escort of police, and
was orderly throughout The trades
unions will celebrate their labor day in
Hyde Park, May g. when it is expected
that an immense crowd will be present.
A number Of French and German dele
gates have signifed their intention to at
tend the demonstration.
TURNED OUT LIVELY
The meeting in Hyde Park TO day
proved to be quite lively affair before il
finally ended by the expulsion of the
speakers and their audience. Among the
speakers were Editor Samuels of the
anarchist organ, the Commonweal Louis
Michel and several other English and
foreign anarchist leaders. The audience
was small but noisy. Editor Smauels got
well into 4 fervid panegyric on valiant.
Rayachol, Henry and other martyrs"
when the storm arose. Several men in
the crowd who were not anarchists pro-
tested against this style of oratory and
they were quickly leered by others, the
anarchists meanwhile denouncing
those who had interrupted
the speakers. There was a lull
for the space of few minutes, and Mr.
Samuels resumed his remarks with even
more warmth than before, when sud
denly there was o howl of indignation
and a rush for the platform. The anarch-
lists fought hard to protect the speaker,
and the police tried TO restore order,
but the police were thrust aside by the
angry anti-anarchsJs, and the anarchists
were forced to run out of the park for
their lives, pursued by the
mob Mr.. Samuels succeeded in
getting away unhurt, but hun
drcds ofo his anarchist auditors
had their clothing torn from their backs,
and many of them received cuts and
bruises, which they will carry for some
time TO come. The police rallied, and
finally restored order, which was not a
di1icult feat. since the anarchists had
fed and their assailants followed them.
All OF the anarchist flags, banners, etc,
were taken possession of by the police.
THE DAY AT BERLIN.
Berlin, May AFTER 6 o'clock this
evening many of the working men who
had been at work all day streamed into
the eiskeller of Germania hall, where they
held a meeting. When the place became
crowded the police closed it TO new comers
and hundreds were turned away.
During the day there was great scar
city Of speakers. There we're altogether
sixty meetings, and the speakers were
kept moving from one place TO another in
order to keep things going.
A procession of metal-workers at

Germania hall, but the police would not
