This document relates to the 1934 San Francisco maritime and general strike, providing information about the history of maritime workers on the Pacific coast, unionism, and Communism/radicalism in the labor movement of the 1930's. Labor leader Harry Bridges began his rise to fame during this strike and became a subject of investigation by the Immigration and Naturalization Service for his alleged affiliation with the Communist Party. Bridges had immigrated from Australia, and the INS unsuccessfully attempted to deport him in two INS administration hearings and two U.S. District Court trials.
