In replying- to the demands of the shopmen, is regarded as a tremendous factor inthe situation. The leaders of the shopmen are con fident their men are ready to strike for the increased demands. They are not certain, however, that public sentiment would approve the strike. In view of the president's appeal. Opposed to this ap peal is the unrest in the rank and file of labor. LABOR KESTLESS . California railroad workers are strik ing in defiance of orders from the union leaders. . Numerous smaller strikes, under similar conditions, are In progress and leaders here report a growing tendency of the rank and file to act Over the heads of their union officials. A decision by the executive council to answer the president's appeal and hold all Strikes in abeyance therefore involves a , test of power, of control of the organisation.

Will appear before the council on behalf of the railroad brotherhoods and 10 other railway workers' unions.
