tempted another demonstration in La-

While the women were being held at
headquarters, before being released
without bail for their appearance.
jsomo of the policemen removed their
yellow and purple sashes and banners.
lThe women put up a sharp but in-
;effectual resistance. The police
isired the regalia to prevent another
demonstration. The report given out
by the. press agent for the militant

:women “when released appeared with

ibruised throats. swollen, twisted and
