at the speech OF President Wilson
over seating arrangements. new com
plants today occurred over grand

Lack of sufficient seating capacity
in the reviewing stands was charged
by many visitors.
Prices charged for seats were alsC
complained Of Another cause OF
criticism was the arrangements
made for Transporting disabled vet
Grams unable 10 march in todays pa
rade. None without tickets was
permitted 10 ride in the free auto
mobiles and buses secured by the
local committee Others had TO pay
% cents each 10 ride in auto-sigh-
seeing cars. Inability of veterans 10

for exorbitant prices.
