gan moving freight cars into the
pier Of the Matson Navigation Co
Pier 80.
Two thousand strike pickets were
gathered behind the police line al
the Matson dock. AS the cars ap-
preached the pier police rushed to-
ward the strikers.
Tear gas was brought up. For a
moment there was a sound of eX-
ploding gas guns and gas bombs
The strikers hurled a barrage Of
bricks at the cops.
Men fell, clawing at their faces
as the gas scared their eyes. Foot
police, swinging clubs, tore into the
strikers. Radio cars screamed
through the embattled area.
Another attack was launched
against a group of 500 pickets in
the Union Hill district. Here po-
lice charged the strikers using gas
and clubs. The longshoremen an
swered the attack with a hail OF
rocks.
Strikers attempted to barricade
themselves behind piles of sand
gravel and bricks being used for the
construction of the San Francisco
Bay Bridge.
Meanwhile the Presidents So
called Iongshoremen'S board was
meeting with ThoS. G. Plant, presi-
dent of the Waterfront Employers
Union. All that Bishop Edward J.
Hanna, chairman of the board
could say was that the board fears
still worse trouble
The Roosevelt Board spent the
rest of the day with officials of the
Industrial Association, the organi-
cation that ordered the moving Of
cargo.
Workmen on the shore workings
of the Frisco Bay Bridge were driven
from their job by gas from the
police bombs. Work was entirely
halted on the job and many of the
workers Joined the strikers as they
moved down Rincon Hill.
Sharp fighting between police and
and strikers took place on Harri-
son st.
1t is estimated that TOO police
participated in the attacks on the
strikers. They had laid aside their
short clubs and carried long night
sticks. There were special squads
carrying gas guns, gas masks Other
squads carried automatic rifles.
Adjutant General Seth Howard
commander of the National Guard,
is reported to have been on the
scene during part of the day. He
said that the mobilization of the
National Guard is under way at
San Luis Obispo, that they are fully
equipped and are ready to be
brought to the Frisco waterfront.
Although the shipownerS boast
that cargo is moving, very little got
through the picket lines today, de-
spite the police gun fire and num-
erous gas attacks.
While the fight ragged the dry
grass on Rincon Hill caught fire.
Bullets flew in all directions across
the hill and the Embsrcadero, the
Frisco waterfront.
The ranks of police attackers were
augmented by city firemen, who
hooked up fire hoses and turned
powerful streams of water on the
strikers.
Train crews on the State owned
Belt Line Railroad, on which the
shipowners are attempting to move
cargo, have sided with the strikers
and have refused to work the trains.
Members of the Transfers Union
are to meet tonight to take up the
question of a general strike.

mercy" says Weems.
The leader of these brutal attacks
is guard named Captain Daniel
Rogers. Sometimes he makes them
call him Captain but when he's
not feeling good he whips them
unless they call him Master Rogers.
He says, IF those boys ever get OUT
of solitary, I'll quit and go back to
the farm"
Rogers also warned the boys about
telling your Jew friends from New
York; and if they're not careful, I'll
treat them the same way"

LIQUOR DEFIES THE LAW

The United States hears Joseph H. Choate, Jr.,
director of the Alcohol Control Administration,
declare the countrys illegal liquor production sur
passes the legal production in amount. The aston
ishing statement is based on the seizure of illicit
dlstilleries by the greatly reduced department of
justice forces. Director Choate says the people
know the bootleg trade is still with US, but have
shut their eyes to its new enormous size and pow
er and to what it is doing to the revenue laws
Illicit distiling today makes smuggling and indu3
trial alcohol diversion which once doomed so large
look insignificant. The director warns the nation
OF what it is doing on the whole liquor question
1t is living INCREASINGLY in FOOLS paradise.
America no longer exhibits the spectacle of law
breakers making and selling liquor under the pre-
text of outraged personal liberty Instead, Direc-
tor Choates men find big distlleres three or four
stories high, running without license in brazen
defiance of the law. Liquor defes the government
to curb it or make it secure lawful permits and pay
the lawful fees. Says the statement: 'The I'M
seized capacity must exceed the seized capacity
which itself exceeds the legal capacity to an un-
defined extent" What aid can that vigorous body
OF citizens afford which promised law-abidng with
repeal?-HOw near can determined government
come to forcing into lawful channels thing as in
herently unlawful as liquor?
The United States appears to face a flat chal-
lenge by booze and bandits. Both offenders would
seem to be approaching the point of effrontery
where aroused public indignation will rise to smite
them down-Booze, having been restored to legal
citizenship, can only be spanked but banditry a.
tually less harmful, perhaps can be destroyed.-

TRAIL OF KTDNAPERS SHOULD BE
SECRET
lBY BRUCE CATION


No one can read of the kidnapping of a
child without wondering what he himself
would do if his own youngster were taken
by hdnapers.
The parents of kidnapped child must
be in about as soul-trying a position as hu-
man beings are ever forced to occupy.
Shall he follow the instructions of the
kidnapers, pay what they ask, and trust to
luck that his child will be returned ur-
harmed? Or shall he notify the authorities
at once and try to have the kidnapers cap
ured-praying, meanwhile, that his child
comes to no harm? ,'''
Most of us, thank Heaven, are never
called on to make that decision. When it
comes, a peculiarly tragic conflict at once
arises between ones natural impulse to
protect his child at all costs and ones duty
as a citizen to get the police on the trail
of the kidnaperS without delay.
And right here, it seems, there is room
for a great deal of Improvement in the
customary police procedure. '> " do.
In 90 cases out of 100, as soon as man
notifies the officers that his child has been
stolen, the news is broadcast from the
housetops. And it seems pretty obvious
that in most cases this is a great mistake.
By making public this news, the police
simply warn the kidnapers that the law is
on their trail They thereby diminish the
chances for surprise which would land
the criminals in their net; they also create
an added hazard for the life of the child
in the kidnapers' custody.
What is apt to happen? The kidnapers
discover that the police are after them,
and that their chances of negotiating pri-
vately with the father of their victim are
nil.
If it looks as if the chase is getting
pretty hot, there is strong incentive for
them simply to destroy the child and scat
ter to save their own necks.
For in this case, as in so many Others
the police seem to proceed on the theory
that criminals never read the newspapers.
In justice to the victims and their rela-
tives, it would seem that the smart thing
would be to keep the news of the crime
secret as long as there is a chance that
anything can be gained by such tactics.
Police work can't always be done prop
erly in the glare of the floodlights. It's
time the police realized the fact and acted
accordingly.

CAN YOU TRUST MEN?

Tie depression, at least the intensity of it, is
due to some extent to loss of confidence in people.
Now and then fellow remarks that you trust
nobody. Wrong! Read the following from the
Pittsburgh Press:
You don't know whom you can trust these days,
do you Every fellow out for hin,self-wiing to
cut under you for his own personal gain.
Well let's get out of here Go somewhere where
you can trust your fellow man. But it's bad
night to 60 out. Dark, stormy and windy
What's the big line overhead? Oh, merely a
high-tension wire with thousands of volts of cleo
tricity in it. But you didn't think anything of walk
ing under it. You knew the lineman had made it
safe.
Now, we'll get in taxi and drive to the station
Got to hurry if we're to catch the train This fell
low certainly knows how to drive. Takes a steady
hand to keep out of crash, but we'll not worry
about that.
Bump! Big hole in the street. Terrific strain on
the springs and the car But nothing at all breaks.
Sweating men at forge and lathe had done their
work well. The others who fastened the nuts and
bolts when the car assembled did their work
Well, here we are at the station. We crawl into
our berth and go peacefully to sleep. The train
plows on through the dark and storm. One man at
the throttle holds the well-beng of hundreds in his
hand, Water streams against the glass through
which he peers out at the right of way One signal
missed and destruction awaits. Yet some other
man nonetity in the cosmic scheme has seen to
it that all signal lights are burning.
And other obscure toilers who have repaired the
track that day have gagged it and fastened it in its
proper place. .
And so it goes. Every day we trust our fellow
men, men in far-of places, men whom we never
see men who, in the routine of their bread-win-
ning are their brothers keepers.
Oh, yes, there are men you can trust-Marsh-
vile Home.
