SUNDAY, MAY 4 Similar Excursions May 18 and 30 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, HOUSE RESUMES DAY IS QUIET HERE, WITH POLICE ALERT Special Precautions Taken to Prevent Disorders Be- fore White House. The Communists had the Police De- partment guessing today, or else the Police Department had the Communists guessing. Whatever the case may be, May day passed quietly and peacefully in Washington. Even though the Communists had not advertised a demonstration, the police prepared for one just the same. Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent, was de- termined that his force should be ready to put down any disturbance that might arise. Consequently, the reserves in all station houses were ready to go out at & minute's notice. Since the Communists in the past concentrated on the White House for their demonstrations, particular atten- tion was given plans for coping with any May day celebrants who might threaten to distract President Hoover. Fifty policemen, under the command of Inspector William G. Harrison, were se- creted in the Belasco Theater, waiting for something to happen. Police in Theater Idle. Arrangements also had been made to close the big iron gates to the White House grounds at the approach of any procession or banner-bearers. In addi- tion, orders had been issued to the po- lice to keep pedestrians off the south side of the Avenue in front of the Exec- utive Mansion should there be the slightest indication of a demonstration. As it developed, all these plans were useless. The police in the theater spent the day reading the advertise- ments on the asbestos curtain and otherwise idling away the time. And Maj. Pratt spent a comfortable day in his office, wondering if other cities were as fortunate as Washington. Mass Meeting Tonight. ‘The Washington Communists, ever, do not propose to let lny dny pass unnoticed and unobserved. mass meeting will be held on the cor- ner of Eighth and P streets tonight at 7 o'clock, for which the Police - partment has issued & permit. Later the celebrants will go to the Com- munist Hall, on upper Seventh street, to view a dramatization depicting un- employment conditions in the United States. Police will be detailed to pre- vent disorder. Wuhintton Socialists and Socialistic sympathizers heralded the coming of May day last night at a meeting at the Playhouse, 1814 N street. August Claes- sens, organizer of the Socialist party of New York, spoke and a musical pro- ‘am was provided by Miss Sophie Sny- der, pianist; Miss Ray Palkin, soprano, and Miss Minnie Clipker, violinist. Res- olutions also were adopted demanding unrestricted suffrage for both local and national representation in governmental as well as for candidates for President and Vice President, and ade- quate legislation for the establishment of & comprehensive system of unem- ployment insurance and old age pen- CONTRACTORS OPPOSE CEMENT AGREEMENT Blease Proposal ‘Weould ‘ Provide Free Entry for Material to Be Used by States.
