NEW YORK, July 20. (U.H - A
mounting bearishness crept into

day and prices were battered down

eral weeks.
Wheat prices were as much as 2
cents bushel lower, cotton prices

On the stock market the rail ay-
erage slumped to low level in the
Dow-Jones averages since early
January, the utility average made
a new low for the year while indus
trial average fell to the levels of
early this month.
Initiation stocks were the first to
meet the selling pressure. This de-
veloped shortly after II a. m. U. S.

most 4 points loss. American smelt-
ing was off 2h points at 28ss.
Dome Mines lost almost 2 points.

came new lows in every division
including American and foreign

STRIKERS AND
POLICE CLASH
At SEAT TIE

SEATTLE, July ~. tU.p) - An or
ganiZed police offensive directed
by Mayor Charles L. Smith, broke
the longshoremens picket line at
Pier Al today.
When strikers refused to leave
their new post peacefully, police
swung into action with gas bombs
and with a driving surge routed
strikers and sympathizers.
AS soon as the line was broken,
freight cars Immediately were
switched onto Pier Al, bringing car
go to ships being handled by nom
union crews.
Strikers were unable to hold their
old line back of the railroad tracks
and many sought refuge in nearby
hills.
The mayor had taken charge OF
the police department when Chief
of Police George F. Howard re-
signed.
The mayor and Chief Howard ap-
parently had differed often on
methods of handling the waterfront
strike.
Three strikers and three patrol
men were injured seriously enough
for hospital treatment, while hun
dreds of pickets and the majority
of the police were gaSsed.

SAN FRANCISCO GETTING BACK TO

could get his shirt washed.
The housewife rejoiced because
she found her grocer selling her
favorite brands of goods once more
and offering an assortment of
fresh fruits and vegetables.
Barring the inconvenience of
bad transportation due to the
Market Street Railway strike and
to certain extent growing out of
the failure of teamsters to resume
work, life became normal again
for the general public
One more abnormal condition
impressed upon the citizens is the
fact that labor trouble still was a
menace. 1t was the presence of
national guardSmen who still held
the waterfronts of San Francisco
and Oakland, and occupied the San
Francisco wholesale produce dis
triet.
Governor Frank F. Merriam said
that he would leave the troops
there until reasonably certain
that no further trouble will arise" +"
The governor hailed the end of
the strike as a victory for right
thinking leadership" and condemn
ed allen agitators and revolu-
tionists."

The California Gable Car COM
pany. which serves the elite hill
section north of Market street, re-
sumed operations this morning.
Maritime unions also will meet
to vote upon acceptance of ar
bitration. Their leaders vigorously
proclaimed that the vote will be
against it and the strike will go
on.
we can run our own strike and
that's what We are going to do"
was the declaration of Harry Brid-
geS, militant leader of the maritime
strikers.
The formal end of the strike in
the whole bay area came with no
great show of dramatics. Early yes
terday morning the Alameda Coun-
ty Labor Council strategy COM
mittee had voted that the 10000
men affiliated with the council,
return to work Friday morning.
Last night a general meeting rati-
fled the recommendation.
The general committee of the
San Francisco strike voted early
yesterday afternoon to end the
strike here.
But these votes came after the
strike actually had disintegrated
and resulted in sending back to
work only a few unions which still
remained out, notably the laundry
workers. the chauffeurS. and the
workers.
News of the end of the SYM
pathy strike was received joyful
ly throughout the region. 1t meant
that not only would about 10000
men return to their jobs in the
bay area after being on strike, but
that probably like number, thrown
out of work by the closing down
of business and industry, could
resume their employment.
For the average citizen it meant
he could go about his normal oc-
in a reasonably normal
way. Movies would be open, he

BY STERRETT

An explanation of the water situ-
ton as it exists in the valley at
present was given by w. j. Sterrett,
county SERA director, to members
of the Kiwanis club at their regu-
lar weekly luncheon meeting in the
Barbara Worth hotel today.
Sterrett explained the measures
being taken to supply water for
livestock and domestic purposes and
told his listeners that two state en-
gineers are now here to work with
M. j. Dowd, irrigation district en-
gineer. This group will work out
details of plans which it is hoped
will succeed in bringing in suffi-
cient water to meet all demands.
He asserted it is a doubtful ex-
pertinent from now on due to the
fact that no idea can be had as to
how long this shortage will last or
how long the valley will have to
wait for water in the river. The
task would be considerably easier

were these items known, he stated.
He believed, however. that it will
be possible to arrange for suffi-
cient water for livestock and do
mestic purposes by tank truckage.
He pointed out that there are
about $4,000 head of livestock in the
valley now and this number is be-
ing reduced through the elimination
of tubercular cattle and culls. He
thought that it may be possible to
work out an arrangement whereby
livestock may be congregated near
some central point for water and
that feed be brought to that place.
This, he said, would eliminate much
expense and should work out salts
|factorily.
A meeting was held yesterday
with Governor Olachea in Mexicali,
Sterrett said, at which the MeXi-
can executive was asked if it would
be possible to allow Imperial Valley

 Some encirclement instances, he said, were Lindy's leisure flight along the Kruiles in 1881, and Bromley's abortive attempt to fly the Pacific, the year previous.
