A revolutionary movement broke
out here today under the leader
ship of Communists. Strong de-
tachments of foot and mounted
police are being rushed here from
other cities to reinforce the met
ropolitan police. Serious rioting
is feared tonight.
In several sections of the city
Communists erected barricades
and defied police efforts to dis
lodge them. They also looted
number of shops and wrecked
small buildings.
The police admitted today un-
rest was spreading to all working
quarters of the city, but declared
for the moment no attempt would
be made to dislodge the Commu-
nists from their barricades.
The government, however, author
lied the city authorities to take
the strongest measures to quell
disturbances and the burgomaster
called out 300 additional gen.
darmeS and armored cars.
Late today there had been no
declaration of martial law.
The Communists this evening
began tearing up paving blocks
from the streets to build barri-
acdes.

AS the Seventy-Second annual con-
vention of the National Educa-

Tor teachers to organize and ex-
press their own opinions on con-
troversial subjects and demanded
Federal aid to education at a
Figure not less than 500 million
dollars.
In the final session of its
Seven-day convention, the N. E. A.
battled over a proposal to con-
denim the national governments
large expenditures for mainten-
ance Of the Army and Navy. This
resulted in adoption of a non-com-
initial stand.
Military Costs Cited
The discussion arose over a
clause in the resolution for Fed
eral aid to education which de-
clared that the government
should make adequate provision
for the support Of public educa-
tion if it "can appropriate nearly
100000 for military and naval
purposes" v. L. Sturgill, Of Ken

confusion and pleaded for re-
vision Of this proposal, declaring:
''In view Of the world unrest
ut, the present time this nation
cannot afford 70 have its Navy
rank third among the nations Of
the world, It's Army sixteenth,
and its air force sixth"
The convention pledged itself
to obtain in the next session of

ing q direct grant Of not less than
500 million dollars to be dis
tributed to metropolitan and rural
areas on an equitable basis.
Free Speech Backed
Declaring that teachers should
be guaranteed the constitutional
rights of freedom of speech, press,
and assembly, and "the right to
support actively organized move
ments which they consider to be in
their own and the public interest, "
the association voted to amend it's
platform so that teachers shall
have the right to express their
own opinions on controversial sub
6ects without danger Of reprisal by
the school administration or by
pressure from groups in the COM

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6
G.N.S0.-San Francisco's historic
waterfront today was encircled
with bayonets in the hands Of
California National Guardsmen,
called out by Acting Gov. Frank
F. Merriam to halt bloody battling
between maritime strikers and the
citys police force.
AS the guardsmen, 1900 strong,
moved into the Embarcadero,
waterfront highway, the casualty
list stood at two dead, three prob
ably fatally wounded, SO hospital"
lied and hundreds nursing severe
cuts and bruises and suffering
from tear and nauseating gas.
Striker Slain
The dead were Howard Sperry,
SO, striking longshoreman, and a
man tentatively identified as
Frank Condor, a member of the
Cooks and Walters Union.
They, with at least go others,
fell before police and strikers

chine guns.
The waterfront was turned into
miniature battlefield as 5000
strikers, who have tied up water
commerce here for nearly two
months, battled with nearly 1000
policemen.
With a charge by the strikers
down famed Rincon Hill, shadow
ing the docks, the action started.
Using tear gas, the police drove
the rioters back to the hill. Then
started a series of clashes on the
hill and in nearby streets. Police
blazed away with guns and gas
shells and strikers retaliated with
rocks and bricks and an occasional
shot. The fight lasted for hours,
terrorized the city and ended with
the acting governor ordering the
National Guard into the riot area.

heavy-type machine guns, Shoul-

and served notice on the lettering
groups of strikers that they will
shoot, if necessary, to kill.
Behind the wall of bayonets and
steel preparations were under
way to proceed with opening the
port.
Trains of the State-owned Belt
Line Railroad and trucks, operated
by the San Francisco Industrial
Association, made ready to take
more freight off the docks, the
move which the Industrial Asso-

striking maritime unions had
blockaded the docks, piled high
with cargoes from many ships.
The troops are in complete com.
