were slugged into inconsistencies and kicked by furious men as they lay prostrate.
 Panic stricken crowds fled in all directions. Shotguns sprayed the street with buckshot and 200 national guards rushed the mob with bayonets.
 Only the bayonets and massed ranks of the soldiers halted the fight and rescued 100 policemen from the fury of more than 500 pickets who charged them through a rain of buckshot.
 Efforts from federal mediators, Gov. Floyd B. Olson and city au- thorities to end the five-day strike were temporarily abandoned.
 Union leaders exhorted followers to vengeance and called upon 10000 additional union members to join them in Ticking the po- lice." They refused even to meet with peacemakers.
 Would Kill The Chief
 This is war;" shouted Grant Dunn, members of the strike com mittee, at a. mass meeting last night. What are we going to do to the chief of police who ordered unarmed men shot down?"
 Give him hell. Kill him." roared the crowd.
 Dunn said that pickets would prevent every truck in the city from moving today. Whether he meant to include vehicles hereto fore exempted from the strike or

 maj Promises at Serv- ices TO-fiiOrrOW

Pledge, cards of membership in the Legion of Decency will be col- lected tomorrow in churches all over the city, with early supporters of the movement here expecting that several thousand of the blanks will be filled in and returned in addition to the hundreds which have already been received.
 Grand Knight John F. Robin son of the, Knights of Columbus, which first started the Legion of Decency movement. here, this morning, expressed formal thanks to The Democrat and WATR for the several broadcasts in connec- tion with the League during the past week. During The Democrat's news programs during the week there were three prominent men interviewed in connection with the activities of the Legion of Deteney.
 MT. Robinson also extends his thanks to the three gentlemen who were the subject of inter views, Atty. John L. Gaffney,, Her bert s. Smith and Atty. Max Trau- rig. These three men were inter- viewed as representatives of Cath ollie, Protestant and Jewish faiths.
 The Legion of Decency campaign against objectionable movies will be continued with full yigor for an indefinite period.

der-milk wagons, ice trucks, san- itary department vehicles-was not clear.
 Drivers of taxis struck a few hours after yesterdays battle.
 Chief of Police Michael Johan- nes refused to discuss his plans.
 Adjt. Gen. E. A. Walsh, com- manding movement of the 18th Artillery Brigade from it's summer camp and the sgd Infantry Bri- gade, said his forces would be ad- equate to maintain order under any circumstances"
 ... The employers advisory com. mittee, which is reported to have raised a war chest of $60,000 to fight the strike, asserted in full page newspaper advertisements that "a supergovernment has been set up in Minneapolis by the com munist leaders of the truck driv- ers."
 Union Heads Resent
 Union heads bitterly resented the charge.
 Anybody that was at that meet ing last night, where 10000 men, women and children mourned the probable deaths of four comrades" said Dunn, would know that this is not communist movement"
 "The issue is clear cut. When we signed peace treaty for the strike in May Gin which two men were killed and 30 injured) the em- ployers agreed to arbitrate with us all questions pertaining to working

a newly organized hauling organ ization equipped with 70 trucks. formed under the auspices of the Industrial association, which was ready to begin moving freight un- der the protection of police or na- tional guard.
 Last night the teamsters met and voted to return to work uncon- ditionally.
 It was a staggering blow to the maritime strike.
 There is a feeling of uncer- tainty in labor ranks now" said Harry Bridges, the militant leader of the marine strike.
 "Longshoremen realize there is a long battle ahead to. obtain the closed shop. But we are going to fight it out if it takes all summer"
 He reiterated his belief the longshoremen would not accept arbitration particularly of the closed shop issue.
 Oakland teamsters who made their return to work conditional on not being, required to handle "hot cargo" were expected to fol- low the lead of the San Francisco teamsters. When they do the port will be entirely open and shipping can resume.
 Cars Are Operating
 The third remaining strike. that of the Market street railways or ganized employees showed little change today. The company op- erated 100 cars on 10 lines yester- day. It expected to put many more into service today, but 1t was doubted that full service could be resumed before next week. Meantime there was talk of withdrawing the national guard from the embarcadero and the wholesale district where 400O guardsmen are on duty. Governor Frank F. Merriam, however, in Sacramento said he would not take action until requested to do so by Mayor Angelo Ross. The mayor made no more. It was believed that the guard will not be withdrawn for several days.
 Although the last public utter ance of maritime strike leaders was firm in refusal to end the ma rine strike-now "A days old there was known to be strong sen- timent among the men for return to work and for arbitration. The San Francisco Central Labor council held a meeting last night at which it voted to support the strike of Market street railway em- ployes. ..... l..

held San Francisco in it's grip for four days, the most militant cru sade against alleged communists and agitators since the days inn mediately following the war. was in progress. More than 500 per sons were in Pacific coast jails. Ef- forts were being made to bring about wholesale deportations.
 "Citizens committees" formed in numerous towns where excite ment ran high, were in the field rounding up agitators.
 The Teamsters union voted 113S to 2S3. to return to work uncon- ditionally. Although they did not strike until a week ago, they were the backbone of the maritime strike. Waterfront employers had no difficulty in obtaining men to load and unload ships or to oper- ate them at sea. But teamsters steadfastly refused to, move "hot cargo" cargo handled by non- union longshoremen or in non- union manned ships to or from the docks. Piers were piled high with freight which had been unloadeG and more than 100 empty ships awaited cargo.
 Yesterday the heads of the Draymen's association served ar ultimatum upon the union which said in effect:
 Teamsters Going Back
 "The teamsters will vote today to return to work immediately, without any strings attached, agreeing to handle all cargo of every kind or they will take the consequences"
 The ultimatum was backed up by

Strang indeed are the things that have happend in the past year to Waterburians who are ''free, white and twenty.one." The stfahgeness Is in the fact that the aO34 city directory, issued yester- day, credits the white pOpula- ton of voting age with a drop of from 0O,52 7to 33,700.
 If the directory is to be bee lieved, the population over 21 has decreased by about SO,OOO people, which, in single year, is a reduction that would have a large portion of the Brass City thoroughly uninhabited.
 But there they are in the de rectofy-the figures in cold type. Now all they have to do is, be explained by some genius. Nobody could be found this morning to even attempt an explanation of the loss of nearly 3O,O0O population. As far as it known, no throngs have been seen creeping out of the city under cover of darkness.

conditions of our members. Now they've reneged and we'll not stand for it,"
 The truck operators, with ware house and produce firms, have re- fused to admit union Jurisdiction over inside workers enrolled in the union since cessation of the May strike.
 One of the number of prevailing rumors after the yesterdays rioting said one man killed. A thorough check of all hospitals and morgues did not reveal a body and Adj. Gen Ellard A. Walsh denied there had been a death. There was no sem blance of military of other cen- sorship here.
 Portland Is Quiet
 Portland, Ore, July 21-(U.P.)- While 1000 militiamen waited in nearby mobilization barracks, Port lands waterfront hummed with new activity to-day, the 10-week deadlock imposed by the maritime strike apparently broken.
 The balance of power here and at Seattle rested with the consti- tuted authorities. Labor leaders held their rank and file in check. Talk of general strike subsided. The presence of the guardsmen re- strained strike pickets from vio- leilce.
 The Portland strike strategy committee renewed its pledges to Senator Robert E. Wagner that it would take no general strike action until after the veteran labor legis- lator presented labor grievances to the presidents mediation board at San Francisco. Wagner flew to San Francisco yesterday.
 For the first time in 10 weeks shipping along the waterfront re- newed close to normal activity. For the first time in eight days, gaso- line trucks rolled along Portland streets.
 In Seattle Mayor Charles Smith, a former University of Washington quarterback, directed police in opening that port. Gas bombs scat tered 1,200 pickets from the piers.
 Effect of the 1ongshoremen's strike spread to Vancouver, B. C., to-day when an "unwritten agree ment" between longshoremen and the British Columbia Shipping Fed eration colled for a halt in working American ships listed as unfair" by the northwest strike committee at Seattle.
