refused to issue an injunction restraining
Chief of Police Badenoch from interfer-

matter and the right to allow the parade
was vested in the chief of police.

tee applied for permission to have a pa
rade in the down town streets Oh that
evening, Chief Badenoch refused on the
ground that the permission had already
been granted the republicans. A big
row was the result and after futile at
tempts at compromise with republican
leaders, the matter was taken into court.
Democratic leaders stated in open court
today that they will fight the police
force or anyone else who attempts to pre-
vent them from marching in parade on
the night of October 81.
Chief Badenoch, on the other hand,
declares that it would endanger the
peace of the city to have opposing polit-
ical factions marching the streets at the
same time. Developments are being
eagerly awaited
Later-After bordering deeply over the
matter the democratic leaders had about
come to the conclusion late tonight to
hold the proposed parade on the west side
