CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 3--The
red flag waved over the largest May
Day demonstration Cleveland has
seen since the big day of street fight
ing in 1919. The Public Square was
| packed with something like 10000 to
$4,000 people at the height of the
demonstration, and about twice as
many workers joined in the actual
parade as last year. Seven were ar
rested for speaking from the Sol
diers' and Sailors Monument.
Mounted police charged recklessly
into the crowd, clubbing as they
went, but as fast as one speaker was
arrested another took his place. The
speakers resisted arrest, continuing
to speak as long as was physically
possible and shouting out working
class slogans as they were dragged
away.
The demonstration on the Square,
the march down st. Clair Ave. and
the further meeting at Marquette
and ST. Clair gave a splendid send
off TO Cleveland's rs hunger march
ers. The great outpouring Of the
workers was powerful evidence of
working class support for the de-
n1ands they are carrying to Columbus
for unemployment insurance and
| immediate relief
Cheer Kassay.
One Of the most loudly cheered
speakers was Paul Kassay, marked
for a boss class frame-up to terrorize
wholesale wage cuts taking place.
Cleveland's celebration of May Day
! started early in the morning, when
workers in all parts Of the city start
ed rallying to march on the Square.
There were several hundred on the
Square long before the demonstra-
ton was scheduled to begin, and by
the time the red banners were raised
over Tom Johnson's statue the
Square was thronged. AS each line
of march arrived in good order be-
hind scores Of banners of the differ
ent organizations participating, it
was greeted with loud cheers.
In organization and effective
spread-out the demonstration was
one of the best Cleveland has seen.
Red banners proudly waved over all
in the center and the other banners
were evenly spread out on all sides.
The crowds overflowed from the
northwest section to all other parts
Of the Square, and one of the larg-
est groups listened to the speakers
from the Soldiers and Sailors mon
ument
Resist Police Attack.
1t was here that the police attack
occurred. Rudolph Shohan, organizer
of the Young Communist League,
was speaking when the cops came up
and tried to pull him down. He re-
sisted, however, and continued speak
ing until dragged down by brute
force. The attack on Shohan was the
signal for mounted police to ride into
the crowd clubbing as they went.
Jennie Cooper. International Labor
Defense organizer, was up speaking
Immediately Shohan was stoned.

Uncle Sam and Uncle Ross

Uncle Sam has a treasury deficit of 81, 600, 000, 900.
Uncle Ross has a treasury deficiency in the general fund
of the state of 81, 1903, 227. Uncle Sam will face his deficit
and wipe it out. Uncle Ross will do the same. All the
world knows just what the governor of North Carolina
said to the governor of South Carolina in ancient days.
Now the Texas world knows what Gov. Bill of Oklahoma
said to Gov. Ross of Texas but it did not concern a mint
jnlep or the passing of the bottle. 1t had something TO do
with free bridges and toll bridges and an injunction issued
by a federal judge which made Gov. Bill safe from the
Oklahoma side and Gov. Ross on the Texas side. Gov.
Bill was within his rights when he smashed the barriers
Gov. Ross was within his rights when he restored the
barriers. A toll bridge company has a little bill for some
thing like 100000 against the commonwealth. There IS
ALWAYS a bill collector around clamoring for his rights and
his money. Now the courts will say the last word. Lltl-

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-ConSder-
ing the millions that gather each
hot weekend on Coney Islands
sands the code OF behavior Is amaz-
ingly well preserved.
I have seen the beach so thickly
packed with humans that a tiny
pepp Of sand became a rare event.
Yet this propinquity. while It breeds
many a casual Irritation. seldom
overSteps its social bounds. There
are few arguments and fewer fights.
Rarely, IN these days, does a cop
have to step in; in fact, the role OF
an administrator OF the law has be-
come so Stereotyped that they now
arrest boardwalk promenaderS who
perch upon the rail fence.
In older times Coney had the rep
utatiCn OF being m~uscularly rowdy,
brawls we're frequent and many a
beer mug was smashed over a sun
day.
There is something in the over
whelming throng that seems 70
create a herd-ethics and a smiling
challenge usually greetS the boldeSt
approach.
Among the groups that huddle
together. there is either a buoyant
play spirit OF a frank personal in
timacy. The greatest amount OF
pickering and argument can gen.
orally be found among members Of
the same family with some east side
mother at the loud end OF the har-
angue.
The chatter Is in most OF the
Languages az the earth; yet there
are extraordinarily few eavesdrop-
pers. Strangers somehow manage
to address each other without any,
thing more than a suggestion Of
intimacy: vet only a few inches OF
space separates n person from his
