situation here, precipitated by
threatened parades of strikers
without consent of city officials,
had passed without trouble tonight
after the projected demonstration
had been iiostponed for one week.
The postponement, textile mill

Kred Itcldcnkapp, executive sec-
rotary of the Workers Interna
tlonal Relief, addressed the lpeel-
ings and told crowds of about 2.-
