The 10 trucks and 59 men who congregated on Bow Street Saturday afternoon were not celebrating a Cambridge winter carnival, but were trying to clear a passage between Massachusetts Avenue and Mt. Auburn Street, an investigation disclosed yesterday. If students in Westmorley Court had looked more closely, they would have seen that two or three of the men were constantly shovelling snow into one of the trucks and that disposal was later made of the loads.

The activity which accompanied Saturday's demonstration was due solely to the natural desire of the workers to keep warm and was not intended to strike onlookers as the mystical celebration of long cherished rites.
