	After a holiday truce on July 4 (during which California Governor Merriam ordered the National Guard to stand by), police charged 2,000 strikers who were picketing Pier 38 and drove them away after an hour and a half of fighting. The fight continued later in the afternoon as police attempted to drive 5,000 strikers from Rincon Hill, overlooking the waterfront and the Belt Line Railway. Vomit gas and tear gas were used extensively (salesmen from competing firms were handing out free samples to the police!), along with the usual guns and clubs, and strikers responded by throwing spikes and bricks.

	After nearly two months of losing $100,000 a day, and after the repudiation of a deal signed without rank-and-file approval by union president Ryan (he was booed off the stage in San Francisco after he presented the "deal"), the owners, with the support of [[Mayor Angelo Rossi\|Mayor Rossi]] and the SF Police, decided to "open the port." At noon on July 3, 1934, the Industrial Association made its effort to transport goods from the docks to a warehouse. "A barricade of freight cars of the stage-owned Belt Line Railway was drawn around Pier 38, from which a lane of police cars was formed to the warehouse. In this safety lane trucks moved with the cargo. On the outside of the lane the strikers were attacked by police with clubs, guns and tear gas. The strikers retaliated with bricks and railroad spikes. All afternoon the fighting continued. One striker was killed and a score badly injured."
