The metropolitan area of San Francisco, with a population of more than a million and a quarter, has been completely paralysed by the general strike which became effective yesterday. Theatres and shops are closed, and violence has broken out. Men have stormed and looted stores, and soldiers have been mobilised to keep order. The photograph shows the great modern docks which almost encircle the city. For over two months the strike has threatened, and all shipping is now at a standstill in the port.
