SAN FRANCISCO. July 16.-
Churches prayed for industrial
+ peace yesterday Church officials
reported an unprecedented attend
ance at services. At the church Of
St. Anne Of the Sunset the rector
decided 10 dedicate the annual
novena 10 St. Anne as a tremendous
prayer for an end TO the strike.
Radio telegraphers affiliated with
the America Radio photographers
Association decided 10 join the
strike. The organizatio has 500
members in the Pacific coast area.
Under federal laws no vessel carry
ing passengers can sail without a
properly authorized radio operator.
Most Of them are union members.
Funerals are being held in the
San Francisco area with great
difficulty. Special permits must be
obtained from union headquarters
70 allow union hack and hearse
drivers TO work.
Bartenders who waited through
fifteen years of prohibition for an
opportunity to resume thier trade
are idle again today. Their union
joined the general strike move
ment.
Adding to San Francisco resi-
dents strike troubles, a shortage of
beer and other beverages is re-
ported. The teamsters strike is
preventing deliveries.
Cigaret smokers found them
selves on rations because of strike
conditions. Most stores limited
their customers to one or two
packs. The maximum was six.
A San Francisco newspaper eSti-
mated that there is S10,000,000
worth Of staple food supplies in cold
storage in the city. The problem is
to move the food to consumers. In
Guided in the estimate were $4,000
cases of chilled eggs; 100000 pounds
of frozen eggs; 1,25O,OOO pounds of
poultry; 100000 pounds of frozen
meats: 100000 pounds of cheese;
100000 pounds of butter and 10000
sacks of potatoes.
Dogs. cats. birds and other pets
are feeling the pinch of the strike.
Pet stores are running out of bird
seed and canned dog and cat food.
The meat markets are closing rapid
~ and there is little fresh meat for
humanS-let alone cats and dogs.
When Mayor Angelo RoSsi swore
in 100 new policemen to preserve
law and order l. was discovered that
several high on the civil service list
were strikers They took the oath
and we're given uniforms.
Trained horses used by San Fran
cisco mounted police were issued gas
masks along with their riders. The
horse and rider present an awesome
combination.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-WelI,
anyway, there's plenty of roast beef
at home, if 1 were sure OF getting
home.
The day the wholesale butchers
struck l dashed over to the meat
market and bought a twelve pound
roast.
Then I phoned by wife at Sacra-
mento, where she was visiting, and
told her she's better go on up to
Oregon and visit her folks because
a general strike was coming off and
there probably would be a 1000
Shortage.
So she arrived in San Francisco
that night. Under one arm she
had a white kitten and under the
other a twelve pound roast like the
one I got. I hope the kitten likes
canned milk. The grocer said there
probably wouldn't be any other kind
after tonight.
Somehow I overlooked laying IN
vegetables, and all the grocer had
was twelve green apples and a
spoiled orange. He'd hidden out
his last pound of butter and he let
me have it. 1t will come in handy
if we can find any bread.
I've five gallons Of gasoline in my
car, but I came down on the street
car to save it. I asked the conduc-
tor how much longer they'd be run
ming.
Il dunno" he said.
I told him I hoped I wouldn't
have to walk twelve miles home.
Il don't give a damn if you have
to crawl" he said.
It must be lots of fun to be a
union man getting ready to go on
strike.

Men i'm Fighting Mood
But the situation had gone too
far. The men felt like fighting.
Saturday a great labor conven-
lion was held. composed OF delegates
from all unions.
Conservative leaders elOquently
pleaded for a cautious course. They
warned that general strikes become
strikes against the public and an
aroused pOpulace, they said, might
bring disaster.
But their efforts were Of no avail
The best they could do was stave off
until today the stampede 10 a gem
eral strike.
The question arises as 10 what
VIII bring a settlement. The Presi-
dents mediation board thus far has
failed.
Purposes Of Strike
The general strike has three pur-
poses.
FIrst-It is sympathetic with the
maritime unions. It is designed to
force from employers victory for
those original strikers.
SeCOnd-It is to give active pro-
test against the methods of the pO-
lice and the calling Of the national
guard
Third-It is 10 punish the Indus
trial Association for its attempts 70
break the lOngShOrCmen'S strike by
use of nOnuniOn trUCkmen.
A day or 50 of effective striking
probably would be enough to meet
The last two purposes.
But the settlement of the mari
time strike Is not so simple.
The lOngShoremen's demands for
recognition of their union quite
probably would be granted. Their
demand. however. for control OF
their own hiring halls is met with
stiff opposition. Employers have
offered. however. to agree 10 Joint
control and operation of the halls
and to arbitrate all demands. The
union refuses to accept arbitration
unless It is extended to the causes
Of all maritime unions now on
strike. And it doesn't look with
favor on Joint control.
Demands Complicated
Hiring halls are places where
lOngShoremen gather so that they
are available when employing steve
does need them. If the union con-
trols them. then the union will have
the right to deal out the jobs. If
the employers control them, the
employers can pick their men.
There is some chance that the
iongShormen's issues could be ar
UIIFAEEU alone. bul MlACll LAlt NAlAOat
insist that the demands Of all
maritime unions be included, en-
ployers reply they can not accept.
They say there are too many unions
covering the same field and too
many nonuniOn Seafaring men. They
can not be certain. they maintain.
that the unions with which they
are dealiC truly represent their sea-
going employees. They fear that as
soon as they settle with these unions
others viii step forward and the
trouble VIII start all over again.
One method suggested to the me-
diatiOn board is for IL 10 hold an
election among Seafaring unions al
which the men will designate what
groups they wish 10 represent them
But that is a tedious process and the
results even then might be uncer-
tain. So. the strike goes on and
The situation becomes more comph-

General Johnson rested here over

A closed shop contract under a

when an employer came to enforce
his closed shop agreement by re-

TODAY'S hand. the fourteenth
l. of a series of eighteen playing
problems prepared by Henry P. Jae-
ger. is a good example Of the Sims
three bid employing king as well
as ace showing.
East has three losing cards and
knows that ne does not want to
play the hand at anything but
spades; therefore. he makes an
original bid Of three spades. This
bid asks partner TO show his highest
ace.
Not having an ace, partner would
be supposed simply TO bid four
spades. regardless Of his spade hold
ing. as East. IN making this bid,
definitely informs partner that he
does not need trump support.
West. however. holds the ace Of
diamonds. so his response over the
three spades is four diamonds. This
denies the ace Of spades or ace Of
hearts.
This information is quite obvious
10 East. He knows that the hand is
safe for five spades and II he can
ind his partner with the king of
diamonds. IL would be safe for six
spades.
So East now bids five diamonds.
and this bid Is not showing a sec
ond suit. but is definitely asking
partner If he holds the king Of that
SUIT. West does not hold the king
Of diamonds. but does hold the king
Of hearts. and il costs him nothing
10 say five hearts.
NOU see. without either the king
Il of hearts or the king Of dia-
monds. he should respond with FIVE
spades. East can see that one los
ing diamond can be discarded on
the king Of hearts. and so he goes
