| Description: | US PHONE STRIKE Good footage of demonstrators during US phone strike in San Francisco. San Francisco, California, United States of America Various shots of skirmishes between strikers and police occurring during the mass picketing demonstration of telephone workers in San Francisco (US phone strike). M/S as women demonstrators are hustled into a police van. Various shots of confusion and scuffles as protesting men demonstrators are bundled into police vans by policemen. Strikers watch and boo the police. L/S panning down the main building of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company to pavement below where six pickets, the legal number, are patrolling - they look pretty tired and bored.
