New Workers in
Protest Parade
OF Prohibition
Nearly 10000 Brave Boiling
Sun in Demonstration for
Personal Liberty-Mayor

New York, July 4. - Wet witt
perspiration, something less thar
10000 men, with a. decided sprinklins
of women, hraved a broiling sun and
marched up Fifth avenue from
Washington arch to Sixtieth street
this afternoon in protest against the
Folstead act and the 18th amend
ment to the United States constitu-
ton.
1t was a demonstration for wine
beer and personal liberty, which fell
somewhat short of the expectations
OF the American Liberties league,
which promoted it. Frank c. Drake,
director general, declared there were
at least 5000 men and that more
than 100000 others had assembled.
but did not march because of the
heat.
Mr.. brakes figure was obviously
an overestimate, for the parade took
just one minute less than two hours
to pass Mayor Hylan on the review
ing stand at Madison Square. At
that point, the demonstration was as
much pro-Hylan as anti-prohibition,
for the marching groups without ex-
ception cheered the mayor as they
passed the stand many of them be-
ing apparently under the impression
that his reelection will legalize the
sale of wine and beer.
Prohibititonists under the leader
ship of William H. Anderson, state
league, stood near the reviewing
stand and held comptometers on the
parade. Mr. Anderson said that there
were less than $1,000 persons in line.
"ANe would have conceded that they
could have obtained many more
if they had not held the
parade at all." he said.

which promises to be critical, an eff
fort will be made to devise a way out
of d situation that appears tonight to
be deadlocked. Some course of action
must be decided upon to induce Ulster
to come to some sort of agreement as
the basis of peace worked out by the
government.
The Ulster proposals demanded thas
the Sim Feiners give the negotiators
written guarantee that they would
swear allegiance to King George before
the Orangemen make any concessions
whatever.
The Ulsterites also suggested that
the Southern Parliament meet as the
Northern has done, take the oath of
allegiance to the crown and elect twen
ty members to the Council of Ireland
to confer with the Ulster twenty dele
gates.
This outline of the Ulster proposi-
tion, as learned here, iS tantamount to
demanding the complete aurr naer OF
the Sim Feiners before the Orangemen
show their hand at all.
1t is not certain yet when the gov
ernment will meet either the Sim Fein
or Ulster delegates again. Some Of the
members of the Ulster delegation re-
turned to Ireland for the weekend
and others are passing the day in the
