He sees in the situation chal

the workers themselves or Of their

there been no outside and alien
counsels provoking distrust, discord
and bitterness, a settlement would
have been reached long before
this.
Fully as much as the employers
the workers have been handicapped

He pointed out that violence
practically ceased after the first
national guardsmen set their feet
on the San Francisco piers. Two
men were killed and more than
100 injured in skirmishes with po-

SAN FRANCISCO. July IT. UP)
"A dramatic, alert, lean, tanned
Australian with a prominent nose
and sharp eyes has become a man
of mystery and yet probably the
most powerful factor in the San
Francisco harbor situation.
The man is Harry Bridges, lead
er of the Longshoremen's union. He
probably is the most denounced
man in San Francisco at the pres
ent time. And also, he is not with
out followers who cling to him as
Workingman's Messiah.
No one ever had heard of Brid-
ges until less than year ago. Then
he became more and more promi-
nent in the longshoremen's union
and finally became its head. Even
that didn't mean much to the pub
lie until on May 8 the maritime
strike began. Hardly a week had
gone by until San Francisco real
lied that Bridges was the key
man. And now he not only is
head of the maritime strike but also
is a powerful factor in management
of the general strike which has
paralyzed the city. In fact Bridges
was the man who said on the night
of July 5 after Governor Merriam
had sent troops into the city to
end the maritime strike riots:
I'VE can't fight the army But we
will have a general strike"
Probably Bridges is the father
of the general strike.
Little is known about him, even
by his associates in union circles.
An Australian, he has been in this
county for some years. He has
worked at various employment, in
Guiding as a harvest hand. Stories
have been told that he never was
a longshoreman, but the best in
formation is that for six years he
has worked more or less in that
trade along San Francisco's water
/ front.
/ Connected With Strike Here
There are many things said about
| him. One story is that he was a
hobo and rode his way across
the continent from the Atlantic
coast on the brake beams TO lead
the present strike. That seems in
correct for Bridges was here, an

PRESS CHOSEN
FOR BALBOA 8
ADVERTISING

Estimating its ulatio on
amongst consumers at more than
five million per day, Balboa Brew
ing company of Los Angeles and
San Diego recently enlarged its
mammoth and intensive advertising
campaign to include The Imperial
Valley Press IN the list of 1870 news
papers used in Southern California.
The complete list of these news
papers, selected to herald the ad-
vantages OF Good Old" Balboa, a
better beer" is published in the
last issue of the Balboa Booster,
the company's house organ, circu-
lated to 10000 persons in Southern
California, including about $4,000
retailers of beer.
The campaign follows the COM
pletion of Balboa's new million-d dol
lar brewery in Los Angeles, and
the increase of its output to one
million, six hundred thousand gall
Ions per month, or four times the
capacity of it's original brewery in
San Diego, started year ago.
This spectacular increase in pro-
duction was necessitated, officials
of the company say, by rapid and
consistent rise in sales, month by
month, showing a gain of more
than 300 per cent since August,
1888. AS a result, Balboa was placed
in the lead of all beers sold in the
southern end of the state. The con-
slant and heavy gain in sales Is
attributed largely to the effective
ness of good advertising.
Balboa Brewing companys contri-
button to prosperity in California
this year, it is declared, is esti-
mated at five and half million
dollars, expended for buildings,
taxes, supplies, equipment and la
Dor. The payroll, recently doubled
with the opening of the second
plant, is placed at half million
dollars annually.
Manufacturers who question the
efficacy of advertising, when used
for product built to the highest
standard of quality" says j. B.
Simpson, general manager Of the
company, may take a page from

MERRIAM SAYS ALLEN AGITATORS'
RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERAL STRIKE

SACRAMENTO, July II. U.P)-
Governor Frank Finley Merriam's
promise to protect the public in
terest in the general strike in the
San Francisco bay region left the
impression today that the Cali
fornia executive is considering de-
claring martial law.
After ordering the entire state
militia organized for strike emer-
gency duty, Merriam said that
while he proposed no nasty, no un-
just, no unnecessary action" he
was ready, through the authority
vested in him, to act with utmost
vigor and decision" should rioting
occur.
The quiet bible class teacher who
succeeded blustery Jim Rolph in
the governors chair said he would
do anything I can to bring this
unfortunate dispute to a speedy
equitable conclusion"
without unnecessary gestures
of explanations, propose to meet
this crisis" he said. Every brand
of law enforcement machinery in
the state has been called to CO.
operate with me in carrying out
my duty.
"a workable system has been
developed in which farm supplies
and other food-stuffs shall be NOV
ed under guard into the strike
area.
Proper protection will be af-
forded those engaged in distribut-
ing necessities to the people. Only
those who undertake by violence
or attempts at intimidation to in
terrupt this essential service will
