Gen. Johnson Predicts Early
Settlement of Maritime
Workers Troubles
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

ny JAMES L. NAANAAAGN
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.
GN.S0.-With the hectic, four
day general strike declared off,
industrial clouds lifted in the
San Francisco Bay district today
as $4,000 union workers went
back to their jobs and swung the
city back to it's normal pace Of
activity.
Encouraged by this develop.
ment, mediators were striving to
effect a settlement of the water
front walkout which brought
about the sympathetic general
strike.
The wheels of business whirred
again. San Francisco had taken
an estimated loss of $50, ,O00, 900
and was glad to get going once
more.
Normally Returns
Theaters were open, taxicabs
running, hotels and barber shops
operating as usual and the big
department stores doing rush
business. The ominous quiet OF
a few days ago had given way
to the joyful clamor and hustle
Of this typical American city.
The general strike was termi-
mated when the San Francisco La
Dor council adopted resolution,
by a vote of 191 to 174, to end
the walkout.
Mayor Angelo Rossi, Of San
Francisco, who had worked un-
remittently for peace, congratu-
lated the labor leaders on their
decision to end the strike. He
said:
"San Francisco has stamped
out, without bargain or COM
promise, an attempt to import
into its life the very real danger
of revolt. San Francisco was
founded by liberty-loving people.
Its traditions are sacred to us.
We will tolerate no tyranny,
either of Communism or of any
other interferences with con-
Stituted authority"
The mayor made it clear that
the crushing of the general strike
must not be construed to mean
that San Francisco either desires
or will tolerate any attempt to
destroy union labor or invade its
rights"
Radicals Angry
Edward Vandeleur, chairman Of
the general strike committee and
the leader of the conservative
labor forces, announced the strike
ending vote with a smiling face.
The radical element, led by Harry
Bridges, was depressed by the out
come. Mr.. Bridges left the Labor
Temple, where the vote was taken
in rage.
National Guard troops, ordered
here to protect life and property,
were expected to be withdrawn
shortly. More than 5000 officers
and men on duty on the San
Francisco and Oakland water
fronts awaited instructions to de-
part. At Sacramento, the State
Capital, Acting Gov. Frank F.
Merriam after a conference with
Adjutant General Seth E. Howard
Of the California National Guard,
decided that the first units will
be recalled at once if no further
complications develop.
Attention in San Francisco was
focused today on two points where
strikes still exiSt-the Market
Street railways and the water
front. The railway company ran
cars on three lines yesterday and
