Just got back from the labor demonstration at Madison Square Garden. We were all peaceful. It will be interesting to see what they show on the news.

The only incident I observed in my immediate [penned in] block was when the police came to our side of the barricade and surrounded some poor zhlub, then went through his stuff and removed him from the demonstration. He was issued a citation of some sort and made to leave the area. An observer from the Lawyers Committee was taking notes and witnessing, as she should have been. Several of us were also surrounding the "incident," looking on disapprovingly and noting what was going on.

It was difficult to get into the demonstration area but I was finally able to get in by getting a break from a police lieutenant. I had no problem hooking up with the other UUPers [my union] between 28th and 29th Streets even though some of our people had left that area earlier [almost immediately after the demo got started].

Came up with a call to respond to the rep's "four more years." Try "NO MORE YEARS" for size. I got some of the people in my immediate area doing it and it may spread.
