 into the churning mass of yelling marchers. They brought with them
 q band that seemed to know no other
 tune than "The Sidewalks of New ! York" and it led the demonstrators
 around and around the big arena.
 Apart of the paraphernalia that
 went into the parade was a sectional
 banner bearing the name Of Massa-
 chusetts with each letter hornA by
 different marcher. It wobbled and squirmed about through the densely
 crowded aisle. The great volume of noise was heard for blocks ana mounted up to the tops of the sky scrapers circling the garden, whose occupants responded by showering confetti through the opened roof Of the hall on the crowd.
 The demonstration had been going on for l5 minutes before the march ing crowd got together and fell Into line with the band in singing "The Sidewalks Of New York"
