DULUTH, Minn., May 30.-Over six thousand young workers demonstrated here on National Youth Day, May 29th with almost three thousand taking part in the most inspiring parade the workers in Duluth have ever seen.
Workers along the line of march from the housetops and windows of neighboring houses enthusiastically cheered the marching and demonstrating young workers who had come out into the streets against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Union.
The fascist leaders in the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Daughters of the American Revolution and other patriotic organizations were forced to leave empty their threat to smash the demonstration. So splendid was the militancy of the young workers that, outside of a few fruitless attempts at provocation, the parade and demonstration proceeded according to schedule.
