Local authorities are determined

Especial to the Daily Worker,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-With
the Central Labor Council of San
Francisco joining the Chamber of
Commerce in an anti Communist
drive, the Chief of Police announced
that he will open the port with
force on Monday if the strike still
continues.
All policemen have been ordered
to the waterfront to break the mari
time strike which has been on for
over a month.
The Central Labor Council came
out openly as an ally of the ship
owners at meeting held Friday
by voting 20 to % to diSavow all ad-
vice given to longshoremen by Com
munists. A motion to investigate
Council delegates on Communist
Affiliations was killed by a vote of
81 to 90.
When Bridges, leader of the
strike, arose to move for a general
strike the meeting was adjourned.
At least II locals in San Francisco
have voted for a general strike to
support the longshoremen and sea-
men.
Meanwhile the strike front re-
mains solid along the entire coast.
