' Members of the Mayer-Haywood-Pet-tlbone
league will show their revolution
ary spirit by parading through Port
land's streets without the permission of
the mayor, chief of police or any other
"capltallatte powers." Thla waa - de
cided at the final meeting In preparation
for-the -big - demonstration which the
league la planning to make Wednesday
evening. - - ;
A city ordinance passed a number of
yeara ago requires any organisation or
body of men wishing to parade to first
secure a permit from the mayor or
chief -Of-police. . A- permit-would- un
doubtedly be granted to the Moyer-Haywood-Pettlbone
league upon appli
cation, but the league by an overwhelm- ;
Ing majority decided not to ak for a
permit, .but to parad anyhow.
"The streets are public property and
we propose to exercise our constitu
tional right to uae them without asking
any favors from any of the minions of
capitalistic society," explained a promi
nent memoes of the league today. 'The
demonstration will be In th.e nature of a
protest, not only ,agalnat capitalistic
tyranny aa It haa fallen upon the heada
of the officials of the Western Federa
tion ol Miners, but against- aU -oanitafc
tstte- tyranny wherever found, and we
propose to act la -accordance- with tha
spirit of the occasion. A committee will
wait upon the mayor and inform him of
the line bf march, but there will be- no
application for a permit."
Whether or not he- would order Chief
Orltsmacher to take forcible meana to
break up the . parade should, it start
without a permit. Mayor Lane refused i
to say. Chief Orltsmacher stated thst
no permit had as-yet been granted. -
The parade la. scheduled to start
from Second 'rfM-Btark streets at 7:39
Wednesday evening and to pass through
the principal business streets on its
way to tha Armory, where the protest
meeting will be held. There will be
two bands and many transparencies In
the parade. Members of the league
claim that Its membera now number
