San Francisco, July* 16,—Labor’s
general strike clamped a tourniquet
upon historic San Francisco today,
drying the arteries of commerce that
give this city its life blood.
Industry’s wheels were stilled and
violence broke out despite the pres
ence of 7,000 National Guardsmen and
2,000 policemen assigned to protect the
1,300,000 residents of the metropoli-
tan San Francisco area.

were killed in a blood-marked battle
between police and picketers demand
ing an end to use of non-union labor
in the unloading of cargo.
With the additional Guardsmen
came tanks, fie’d pieces and machine
guns to strengthen the warlike ap
pearance of the siege-torn district.
A crowd of 1,500 twice attacked a
grocery store at 23rd and Mission
streets, smashed the windows and
made off with foodstuffs. Others in
the city sought vainly to obtain fresh
fruits and meats, and their supplies of
staples were dwindling.
Two policemen and two alleged
Communists w?re injured in a raid
on Communist headquarters in Oak

women, were arrested. Officers invad

were confiscated and the funiture
wrecked.
Approximately 2,700 men working
on the $75,000,000 San Francisco-Oslc-
land bridge were called into the strike
to augment the tanks of the 60,000

Check Tuesday Morning Showed Near

Week Remaina. A
wmmmammmm
With less than a week remaining hi
which Democratic voters in Barnwell
County can qualify for the coming
primary elections, a check Tuesday
morning revealed the fact that- the
enrollment at the Barnwell precinct
waa nearly 300 names short of the
total in 1932, when 888 men and
women qualified as compared ^ with
onlV 600 Tuesday. It is not known
to what extent this lack of interest
is reflected in the remainder of the
county, but it is safe to say that the
total enollment will fall far short of
two years ago unless a determined ef
fort is made within the next few days
to get every available voter to sign
his or her name on the ctab book.
This apparent lack of interest in
the primarie/this year is said to be
general throughout the State, at wit
ness the following letter received this
week by Hie People-Sentinel from
Ben T. Leppard, chairman of the State
Democratic executive committee:
“Reports reaching this' ofhee from
