Protesters from <a href="http://www.monclersalestore.com">Moncler Outlet</a>labor unions and community groups had gathered in a noisy but peaceful protest on the LaSalle Street bridge across the Chicago River, chanting "Jobs now" and "No more cuts".

Some demonstrators linked arms and sat on the bridge<a href="http://www.monclersalestore.com/13-moncler-coats-men">Moncler Coats Men</a>, and were subsequently arrested for obstructing traffic, before the crowd marched in bitter cold into the heart of the city's financial district to surround the Chicago Board of Trade.

The Chicago march came as cities across the country have taken police action in recent days to dismantle protest camps set up as part of the Occupy movement against economic inequality and excesses of the financial system.

The march coincided with a day of action that saw hundreds of people take to the streets of several U.S. cities, including New York where at least 177 people were arrested, in rallies seen as a test of momentum of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

One of the speakers at the rally before the Chicago march was Will Attig, 27, of Carbondale, Illinois, a U.S. Army veteran who has served in Iraq and and earned two Purple Hearts<a href="http://www.monclersalestore.com/9-moncler-mens-hoody">Moncler Mens Hoody</a>. After he came back from overseas, it took him a year and a half to find a job. He is now a union pipefitter.

"I went from being a soldier and a hero to not having a job or a degree or a future," Attig said, adding he wanted programs to give more veterans jobs.
