Washington, April Evidence of the activity of Industrial Work CTS of the World toward melting and maintaining the unauthorized rail- way strike continue to accumulate at the department of justice and off cials admitted tonight they saw signs of an attempt to expand the rail strike into one phase of world revolution
 Reports from field agents were not as yet complete enough to permit determination of the govern nment's course. Attorney General Palmer said no announcement as to the governments plans was to be ex- pectcd before tomorrow at the ear Hest.
 President Wilson today issued call for his cabinet to meet tomor- row. It will be the body's first ses- sion since Mr. Wilson speaking tour during which he was taken ill, and the strike situation was understood to have prompted the call. In some quarters, it was thought an an- nounccment on the governments course would follow the meeting.
 The president also sent to the sen ate today nominations of the mine
 men representing employers, em- ployes and the public, whom he has selected to compose the labor board provided under the transportation act to deal with railway labor disputes.
 Those selected:
 Representing the public-George w. Hangar. Washington, D. G.; Hen " Hunt, Cincinnati; R. M. Barton, Tennessee.
 Representing railroad corporations
 Horace Baker; J. H. Elliot and William L. Park.
 Representing Employees -9 Albert Phillips; A. o. Wharton and James J. Forester.
 Nominations were immediately re- ferred to the interstate commerce which is expected to act on them tomorrow, committee mem- bers having been given an opportuil- ity in the meanwhile to make inquir- ies as to the qualifications of the nominees.
 The board will be called by the president without delay and was ex- pected to meet in Washington where existing government machinery to handle wage matters is at it's dis posal and would permit it to get into action promptly.

 MT. Palmer when he goes to the cabinet meeting tomorrow, will have available reports from his agents at strike centers. which are known to deal specifically with the relation of the 1. w. w. to the strike move ment. He will be able to show the president and the cabinet that thru the agency of the I. w. w., reIation- ship has been established between the strikers newly formed organized the railway workers union-and the lone big union." He will also be able to disclose through official reports that John Grunau, head of the Chicago yardmen's association of which were the first to quit their posts, has been supplanted by an active member of the I. w. w.
 Propaganda of l. w. W. origin call ing on all railroad workers to join in asserting their power and attempt- lHS tuCIu WltIl StdtCiuCuIo tuttt SitC golden opportunity for which you have been looking has arrived" has been found by federal agents. Off cials said they believed this unseen power had been pushing the strik- CTS forward and now threatened to expand the walkout, months and of l. W. W. campaigning" to that end having been disclosed. Reports today told of inroads into the ranks of shopmen in many cen- ters and of unrest in all. They also uncovered the nature of |. w. w.. some described as being 'as dangerous as the communist lit- erature."
 All of it advocated the lone big union" idea and urged strikers and faint hearted" to secede from af- filiation with the four great railway brotherhoods.
 The American federation of labor was characterized in the documents as having fifty seven varieties of and none of any good" One argument made against the four brotherhoods was that they do not stand together and thereby brand themselves as 'scabs' by staying on the job when their fellows quit"
 The department moved further to- day toward prosecution of strike leaders by requesting executives of the Pennsylvania and New York Gen. .ral railroads to furnish it with the names of all men on strike and to designate those who apparently were directing it.
 Mir. Palmer explained that condi- ions were not the same on all roads { md added that "the influences be- lind the strike must be ascertained." ]" He would not say what use would X ,e made of the names but other off, .ials said they would furnish valu- lble comparisons in departmentsA 'ecords of known radicals, I. w. F ind revolutionaries.
 It was understood similar requests night be sent other railroad officia1s ater, although this action also awSit- # d determination of the governnent .olicy.
