DOCK STRIKERS SEEK RIGHT TO HIRE WORKERS Dispute Brings On General 'Walkout Resulting in Fierce Riots. ■ Continued From Page Onn strongest labor bodies in the west They had their last strike in 1911 and won it. They have perhaps the tightest rlowd .'hop agreement ol anv group in the city. They have Michael Casey, a veteran of many labor battle', a conservative but a fighter, as their leader. Thev have more than a million dollars in their treasury. Their strike effectively tied up disribution of goods in Pan Francisco and the city began digging in for i 'iege. Then the chauffeurs struck. '<nri soor. a dozer other less important unions were out The labor council, controlled by onservatives. appointed a “commit•ee on .strategy," also conservative. Its members plainly said they r anted to end the labor war without further spread of the strike fever. Men in Fighting Mood But the situation had gone too far. The men felt like fighting. Saturday a great labor convention was held, composed of delegates from all unions. Conservative leaders eloquently pleaded for a cautious course. They warned that general strikes become strikes against the public and an aroused populace, they said, might bring disaster. But their efforts were of no avail The best they could do was stave off until today the stampede to a general strike. The question arises as to what will bring a settlement. The President's mediation board thus far has failed. Purpose' of Strike The general strike has three purposes. First—lt is sympathetic with the maritime unions, it is designed to force from employers victory’ for those original strikers. Second—lt is to give active protest against the methods of the police and the calling of the national guard. Third It is to punish the Industrial Association for its attempts to break the longshoremens strike by use of nonunion truckmen. A day or so of effective striking probably would be enough to meet the last two purposes. But the settlement of the maritime strike is not so simple. The longshoremen's demands for recognition of their union quite probably would be granted. Their demand, however, for control of their own hiring halls is met with stiff opposition. Employers have offered, however, to agree to joint control and operation of the halls and to arbitrate all demands. The union refuses to accept arbitration unless it is extended to the causes of all maritime unions now on strike. And it doesn't look with favor on joint control. Demands Complicated Hiring halls are places where longshoremen gather so that they are available when employing stevedoes need them. If the union controls them, then the union will have the right to deal out the jobs. If the employers control them, the employers can pick their men. There is some chance that the ioneshormen's issues could be arbitrated alone. But when the union insist that the demands of all maritime unions be included, employers reply they can not accept. They say there are too many unions coveting the same field and too many nonunion seafaring men. They can not be certain, they maintain, that the unions with which they are riealig truly represent their seagoing employes. They fear that as soon as they settle with these unions others will step forward and the trouble will start all over again. One method suggested to the mediation board is for it to hold an election among seafaring unions at which the men will designate what groups they wish to represent them. But that is a tedious process and the lesults even then might be uncertain. So. the strike goes on and the situation becomes more complirated.

Frisco Asks Dock Peace in Prayers Telegraphers Join Walkout: Cigarets Are Rationed: Markets Close. ! ;/ I Press SAN FRANCISCO. July 16. Churches prayed for industrial peace yesterday. Church officials reported an unprecedented attendance at services. At the church of St. Anne of the Sunset the rector derided to dedicate the annual novena to St. Anne as a tremendous prayer for an end to the strike. Radio telegraphers affiliated with the America Radio Telegraphers' Association derided to join the strike. The organization has 500 members in the Pacific coast area. Under federal laws no vessel carrying passengers can sail Aithout a properlv authorized radio operator Most of them are union members. Funerals are being held in the San Francisco area with great difficulty. Special permits must be obtained from union headquarters to allow union hack and hearse drivers to work. Bartenders who waited through fifteen years of prohibition for an opportunity to resume thier trade are idle again today. Their union I joined the general strike move- ! ment. Adding to San Francisco residents' strike troubles, a shortage of beer and other beverages is reported. The teamsters’ strike is preventing deliveries. Cigaret smokers found themselves on rations because of strike conditions. Most stores limited their customers to one or two packs. The maximum was six. A San Francisco newspaper estimated that there is $10,000,000 worth of staple food supplies in cold storage in the city. The problem is to move the food to consumers. Included in the estimate were 50.000 cases of chilled eggs; 750,000 pounds of frozen eggs; 1.250.000 pounds of poultry; 1,500.000 pounds of frozen meats; 1.000.000 pounds of cheese; 1 000.000 pounds of butter and 30,000 sacks of potatoes. Dog,s. cats, birds and other pets are feeling the pinch of the strike. Pet stores are running out of bird seed and canned dog and cat food. The meat markets are closing rapidly and there is little fresh meat for humans—let alone cats and dogs. When Mayor Angelo Rossi swore in 100 new policemen to preserve law and order ii was discovered that several high on the civil service list were strikers They took the oath and were given uniforms. Trained horses used by San Francisco mounted police were issued gas masks along with their riders. The horse and rider present an awesome combination. 49 NONVOTING LOCALS MAY JOIN LABOR WAR Sixtv-Three Locals Voted for General Strike; Only Three Opposed Hj L nited Pratt SAN FRANCISCO.

' Hy I nited Prist SAN FRANCISCO. July 16.—The labor war affects four counties with a total population of 1.217.000. San Francisco county, comprising the city of San Francisco, is largest with a population of 634.304. Alameda county contains 474.883 persons. Marin county has 41.648 and Contra Costa county 76.608.

WAGNER SENT TO COAST FOR STRIKE PARLEY Washington Takes Action as General Walkout Is Ordered. (Continued From Page One) on failure of the shipping industry to agree on a code. H> recommended arbitration as a means of settling the dispute. General Johnson rested here overnight after addressing the Pacific coast Advertising Clubs convention. He planned to fly to San Francisco today. He departed from his prepared speech—a defense of the NRA—to discuss the far-western strike. Strikes, he said extemporaneously before 5,000 persons, are a necessary evil which, like wars, never got anything for anybody except bloodshed and black eyes. The Pacific coast maritime strike, he claimed, should not have lasted more than twenty-four hours. His own plan for settling the dispute would have been to “do the same thing we did in drawing up codes in Washington.” Explains Section 7A “I'd put all the men on one side in one room and the men of the other side in another room Then I'd circulate between them until they reached an agreement.” The administrator presented a clarification” of Section 7A of the national recovery act during his address. A closed shop contract under a code w’ould not be illegal, but in the opinion of Donald Richberg, our general counsel, and in my opinion, when an employer came to enforce his closed shop agreement by requiring as a condition of employment that a man join a particular union not of the man's own choosing. the employer would be violating Section 7A. “The seat of the trouble out here is the fact that, due to cross currents, the shipping industry has no code and hence labor doesn't retain its instrinsic rights. It merely means that employers are not bound bv a code to accord those rights.” Deplores NRA Attacks In his formal address the NRA administrator said that his organization is grouping many codes having kindred interests under unified administrative rulings and is establishing a means for reviewing and correcting cases in which codes or their interpretation have caused hardships. “We had hoped that the Darrow’ board would do this,” he said. “It is a bitter thing,” the code administrator said. “That two men for w’hom I have perhaps tne greatest admiration—Clarence Darrow and Senator Borah—should attack the NRA on a charge that it helps big business and hurts small business.”

There’s Beef —ls He Can Get Home And San Franciscan Hopes, Too, That Kitten Likes Canned Milk. A m.mtwr of the l nited Press’ San Francisco staff describes how the general strike affects his personal life. His story parallels the experiences in essential details of thousands of others in that troubled city. BY DAN BOWERMAN I’nited Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO. July 16.—Well, anyway, there's plenty of roast beef at home, if I were sure of getting home. The day the wholesale butchers struck I dashed over to the meat market and bought a twelve-pound roast. Then I phoned by wife at Sacramento, where she' was visiting, and told her she's better go on up to Oregon and visit her folks because a general strike was coming off and there probably would be a food shoatage. So she arrived in San Francisco that night. Under one arm she had a white kitten and under the other a twelve-pound roast like the one I got. I hope the kitten likes canned milk. The grocer said there probably wouldn't be any other kind after tonight. Somehow I overlooked laying in vegetables, and all the grocer had was twelve green apples and a spoiled orange. He'd hidden out his last pound of butter and he let me have it. It will come in handy if we can find any bread. I've five gallons of gasoline in my car, but I came down on the street car to save it. I asked the conductor how much longer they'd be running. “I dunno,” he said. I told him I hoped I wouldn't have to walk twelve miles home. “I don't give a damn if you have to crawl.” he said. It must be lots of fun to be a union man getting ready to go on strike.

GENERAL STRIKE CALLED; MORE TROOPS ON WAY 6.000 Militamen to Be on Duty in Frisco by Nightfall. (Continued From Page One) trains rolled into the railroad yards and motor lorries began rumbling through the southern section of the embarcadero. The movement was shielded with great secrecy. Extra vigilance was used by the guardsmen on duty to keep every one back from the waterfront. But behind the sentry lines great activity was going on. The first food riot occurred last night when a mob stormed a grocery. The state highway patrol, cooperating with county sheriffs, all under the orders of Governor Frank F. Merriam, were organizing caravans of trucks from the agricultural regions to run food into the bay region through picket lines and under armed escorts. Charges were made by labor leaders that the San Francisco Industrial Association had mustered secretly a private “army” of men and trucks which would attempt to break the blockade of deliveries of food and other goods. “If they carry out the plan, an-

nounced Harry Bridges, left wing strike leader, "our men surely will try to stop them.” In three days housewives of the territory had bought up and carried home a stock of staple foods grocers said was equivalent to their usual thirty-day supply. Many men sent wives and families to the country, to vacation camps—anywhere to get them out of the city. Sunday San Francisco was a deserted city. The picture was a striking demonstration of the dependency of a community on a minority of its workers. Violence during the night was comparatively rare and of minor consequence. But the citizenry, a large portion of it sympathetic with the cause of the strikers, was aroused to its own interests. Reports that federal troops would be called in were denied. Passes to and from the Presidio of San Francisco. where federal troops are stationed. and also leaves, were curtailed. Restrictions were clamped down on entry into the military reservation.
