Background: New York construction workers, who on Friday tried to break up a peace march, yesterday (Monday) staged a demonstration of their own to support United States intervention in Cambodia.

Joined by longshoremen, the construction workers marched on City Hall, chanting support for President Nixon's Cambodia policy and condemning New york's Mayor John Lindsay for his sympathy towards anti-war demonstrators.

A strong police escort patrolled the demonstration and cordoned off City Hall. There were a few arrests but no reports of violence. The march came as a complete contrast to Friday's skirmishes, when more than 70 people were injured and when the construction men threatened to storm City Hall.

Some shoppers and office workers from the Wall Street area joined in the demonstration. In a wave a nationalistic fervour, the marchers shouted their approval for Vice President Agnew -- outspoken opponent of student demonstrations -- and chanted "God bless the Establishment' and "Lindsay must go".
