The General Strike Committee announced that nineteen restaurants would remain open Monday -- some 3,600 seats for a city of 700,000. Union permits would allow suppliers to provide food to them. At the same time, it said, it was planning a special police force intended to prevent violence and cooperate with regular police. Permits would be issued to continue milk and bread deliveries. Bridges proposed the committee establish food distribution depots throughout the city. Strikers would prevent profiteering, regulate distribution, and prevent hardship. "If the people can't get food, the maritime workers and longshoremen will lose the strike," Bridges said. At the same time, he warned attempts to run picket lines with nonunion food trucks would "create disorder and violence." "If the trucks try to move, the men will try to stop them-I can tell you that." In the East Bay, Charlie Real, head of the teamsters, said trucks operating with union permits would furnish supplies to East Bay Commission houses; the public would be expected to obtain their supplies at these distribution points. Mayors of Bay Area cities in a joint declaration announced that their people must be fed; if the strikers did not make arrangements to do so, they would.
