There is peculiar state of affairs in the
strike situation in West Oakland. The
general impression of the rank and file
of the strikers and the public is that the
strike is off. The leaders maintain Just
as persistcntly that it is on and cite the
action OF Saturday nights meeting Of
the A. r, U. as proof positive that such
is the fact.
When asked what they proposed
doing, or how the strike stands they con-
fess themselves as absolutely in the dark.
The CAL, this morning, in describing
the situation at Oakland, says: The
condition is at present about this: The
railroad has set itself up in the position
where it does not feel inclined TO make
any concessions and the men seem de.
termined to stand their ground as we'll
