SAN FRANCISCO. June
18.-The plan of the ship
owners for the longshoremen
to return to work without
winning their basic wage de-
mands, approved by Joseph
P. Ryan, head of the Inter
national Longshoremen's Associa-
ton, was unanimously rejected by
the strikers in San Francisco. Port
land, Tacoma, Everett, Astoria and
San Diego yesterday.
The 1ongshoremen, by a standing
vote, reaffirmed their determination
10 continue the strike until the de-
mands of both the longshorenen
and the seamen Of all maritime
unions are won.
Ryan Agrees to Scabs Working
Ryan's agreement proposed a
Joint shipowners' and union hiring
hall, with no provision to GUST the
strikebreakers from the piers. 1t
merely contained general state
ment about mo discrimination" and
the question of the seamen's de-
mands were ignored completely. The
agreement would have compelled
the stevedores to work side by side
with the scabs.
Reports from Los Angeles show
a slight majority for the agreement
but less than the necessary two
thirds required to put it into effect
RYAN has rushed to San Pedro to
try to break the strike at that point
No action has been taken on the
agreement in the Seattle port.
Three thousand longshoremen
were at the meeting in San Fran
cisco Sunday night. When Ryan
started to speak he was greeted with
cat-calls and booing from all sides
Gets Razzed
Strikers shouted at him from al
parts of the hall:
Pink! Fakerl Why don't you
go back east?"
why don't you call strike in
the East?"
"Shut up, we didn't come here
to hear you'll"
Indeed, the rank and file took
command of the situation.
Rank and file members of all the
striking unions took the floor ano
appealed for united action.
Caves, chairman of the strike
committee of the International Sea-
mems Union, pleaded with the mer
for complete unity and repudiatec
the attacks of the I. S. U. leader

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 10
Though all officials have disclaimed
any support for the movement on
the basis that the order for a gen.
eral strike must come from the In
ternational headquarters, the Street
Garments Union is pushing the
question of a city-wide walkout and
insisting on action. The street car
mems strike is expected to take
place at any moment. Last Friday
at a union meeting the membership
once more reaffirmed the decision
for strike.
The State Convention of the So
cialist Party, which met last week
failed to mention this question OF
to discuss it, despite the fact that
all leading union officials are mem
bers of the S. P.

Bill, which puts teeth into Section
IA, the labor clause of the NRA., -
Joe Padway, attorney for the Wis
consin Federation of Labor, issued
statement that the move for the
general strike may have to rest for
while.
The pressure for a general strike
on the part of the rank and file is
still great, though all officials Of the
Federation are doing their utmost
to prevent a decision. The motion
for a general strike was to be dis
cussed late today before the execu-
tive board of the State Federation
of Labor The Federated Trades
Council of Milwaukee is to meet on
this question on Wednesday.
