Of a show either. AS soon as Marie

queen marched along the platform, at
tempting to smile.
Wet Reception.
Outside was a driving rain. Whel
the procession reached the street the
queen was pushed into the Lincoln
car that Henry Ford donated and
began creeping thru the wagon room

The way led along q sort OF abutmen

great shouts of "Cotzofanesti." She
was seen to turn pale. Editions of the
DAILY WORKER. containing the ex-
pose were flashed from the abutment
where the Queen could see. She read
The headline: Marie What OF Cotzo-
fanesti?" The car put on speed and
proceeded down Michigan boulevard
to the City Hall, where a very brief

city was given her by Mayor Dever. :
Parade Loop.
1t was so brief that the demonstra-
tors, having recovered their banners
from the police, got to the City Hall
100 late, altho they lost no time in
marching directly there thru the loop.
The banners attracted great attention
as the manifestants walked the mile
from the Illinois Central Depot to the
City Hall.
Groups Of policemen stationed in
the loop and the traffic cops took
delight in reading the banners and

came along thru the crowded loop dis

of break 'em up.S and get the guys
with the banners" A number Of heads
were cracked and the banners either
destroyed or confscated. George
Maurer, Margarite Miller and A. Zuris.

They stood outside and demanded the
release of the three. More reserves
were called out and rushed out the

Propagandize Cops.
The three workers were held in the
station for half hour, where they ex-

the waiting room what the demonstra-

Cops Wet and Annoyed.
Several hours before the train ar
rived, the station was barren OF any
one but passengers and the policemen
who were reporting to their lieuten-
ants and forming their lines. 1t was
drizzling They were uncomfortable.
They were day men drawn in from the
districts after a days work. AS your
reporter made his way thru the ranks
he heard many ungentlemanly re-
marks about a queen for whom MEN
have to come out on day like this"
The demonstration against the
queen began at $3.50 in the afternoon
at 30 N. Wells st. where international
Labor Defense had called a mass
meeting of its members. Speeches
were made by William F. Dunno, Max
