			\| colspan="2" \|'''After Bloody Thursday (July 5, 1934), when police killed two strikers, twenty-one unions representing Teamsters, longshoremen and seamen voted to organize a general strike. They hoped to win higher wages, shorter hours, and union control of hiring halls. Despite exceptions from conservative union leadership in the Central Labor Committee keeping many workers at their jobs, vitriolic attacks from San Francisco’s newspapers, police and vigilante violence and break-ins against labor organizations, and threats of university student scab workers, over 150,000 workers around the Bay Area officially went on strike by July 16, 1934. Ultimately, the opposition weakened the strike and by July 20th, all unions involved had voted to return to work. Maritime workers gained partial victories on wages, hours, and hiring halls from an arbitrator's decision handed down months after the July strike, and the impetus towards worker organizing led to a major wave of unionization throughout San Francisco during the 1930s.'''

	Over the next week, momentum for a General Strike snowballed. The Central Labor Council, which had denounced the maritime strike leaders as communists in late May, scrambled to head off the General Strike by creating a Strike Strategy Meeting, an effort characterized by Sam Darcy as an effort "to kill the strike, not to organize it."
