"Perhaps 50,000 people, it appears that the cops acknowledged 35,000 of them...
"All the trade unions were there, the high-school girls and students at the head of the demonstration. At the end of the demonstration there was agitation like has become accustomery.
"The cops, each time more, pushed back those remaining to express themselves to the Rue Solferino. Tear gas, and at least 3 arrests for the moment but it is not finished... A small barricade was drawn up at the beginning of the Rue de Béthune. There remain still at least 200 people. "
