Original Toronto Star caption: Their tent city shut down by police; young travellers walk south on Huron St. to the Hall; a meeting place; under the watchful eyes of Metro police. The eviction of the young campers from the University of Toronto grounds yesterday morning was peaceful but violence broke out their route to the Hall. Most of the 200 campers spent last night in hostels; others moved on to other cities.
