Busy Communists

Last week Manhattan's Communists, trying to make their May Day parade a success, literally ran around in circles. The parade was boycotted by labor unions. It was denounced as entirely Communist by labor leaders. Manhattan's toiling masses, as usual, stayed away. At the halfway mark, police with counting machines checked off 18,788 in the parade, but at its end, at Union Square, the count was 24,000. Reason: as the first marchers reached the Square they folded their red banners, rushed around to march by again. Second time around, spectators began to recognize faces of the 5,000 repeaters, third time around, shouted "Hello." The Communists called it the greatest May Day ever, said there were 75,000 in the line of march.
