Protesters, representing several labor and student groups, carried banners reading "No to U.S. Bases" and "U.S. Imperialism - Cause of Poverty."Police estimated the crowd at 1,000. But reporters said the numbers dwindled in half as rain fell. The group dispersed without incident at the end of the protest.
