and the president and two additional
members of each society
The organization known as the Ca
mcia, or Red Shirts" assembled in
the Garfield building on State street
The members voted not to join in with
the other societies because, as they al
legged, their rights We're not recognized
at meeting of the societies of the city
held last June.
! The parade of the RED Shirts did
not start from the headquarters until
an hour after the United societies. The
officers of the Red Shirts acted with
discretion. They feared that if the two
parades started off together it might
lead to conflict in some section
where the two parades might meet
Accordingly the start was not made
until 1 o'clock. and a different route
was chosen. The marshal was D. Sc.
bastinelli, and Alberto Pellegri was his
aide. The RED Shirts" had Lombardi's
band to lead them and the procession
moved off through State street, to Elm
Church, Chapel, York, Oak, Broad Con
gress avenue, Church, Chapel. Olive
Grand avenue, Franklin, Water, Wal
lace. State, to Scheutzen park. The or.
