ed to use tear gas.
Nine ships were gathered at the
pier and were being loaded by
non-union men, behind police lines.
The rioters quickly gathered fur
a new assault on Pier Forty.
Leaders of the rioters said they
had been angered by the “sell-out”
in San Francisco, where general
strike leaders suggested arbitra
tion. Two rushes on Pier Forty
by several hundred union men,
hurling rocks and missies failed,
because of the defense of tear gas
put up by the guards.

bomb to throw at the police, but
it exploded in his hand, injuring
liift) seriously. Several wild shots
were firpd. but no one was lii'.
