Following a huge demonstration near the American embassy, in which more than 100,000 workers participated, labor leaders have announced their intention of preventing the opening of the \convention or of the legion parade. Deputies Cachin, Martyn and Doriot, Communist leaders and members of the Chamber of Deputies now in jail for opposing French imperialism in Morocco, have informed the president of the Chamber of their opposition to the congress.
