Socialist Marchers* Ranks Broken by
Mon in Uniform in Boston
Fiat
Battles Are Numerous.
Boston Riotous scenes attended a
Socialist parade Sunday which was an­
nounced as a peace demonstration.
The ranks o f the marchers were
broken by self-orgnaized squads o f uni­
formed soldiers and sailors, red flags
and banners bearing Socialist mottoes
were trampled on, and literature and
furnishings in the Socialist headquar­
ters in Park Square were thrown into
the streets and burned.
Police reserves stopped the rioting
after it had been in progress an hour
and a half. Many arrests were made.
The police took into custody some of
the participants in hundreds o f fist
fights that were waged on the Common
and in the line o f the parade, while
agents o f the Federal department o f
Justice, under direction o f Assistant
United States Attorney Goldberg, ar­
rested a number o f persons who w ere
alleged to have made unpatriotic re­
marks. None o f the soldiers and sail-
ors w ho figured in the disturbance w as
arrested.
I
The procession consisted o f hunrdeds
o f men and women, many o f whom
carried babies. Most o f the marchers
carried small red flags with white cen­
ters, emblematic o f the peace demon­
stration, and there were large banners
bearing inscriptions, some o f which
read:
“ Russia has a six-hour day. Why
not Am erica?” and “ Liberty loan, a
first morgtage on labor.”
A large
American flag was at the head o f the
procession.
H a lf a hundred men in the uniform
o f naval reservists, national Guard, ar­
rested some men. Marines and Cana­
dian “ k ilties” intercepted the proces­
sion at the corner o f West and Tre-
mont streets and again at the corner
o f W inter and Tremont streets,
