full of young men and girls leaped
from the stands and circled the

banner were seized as they passed
the Tribune of Honor, and the
remainder were arrested when
they returned to their seats. They
were booked at the police sta
ton on suspicion of criminal
syndicalism.

the demonstration and applauded
