maritime workers.
A resolution calling for the
formal ending of the strike was
worked up by Mr.. Vandeleur,
head of the Frisco Labor Council,
and presented for vote before the
strike committee this afternoon.
The only thing that can halt the
betrayal of the strike now is the
action of the rank and file. Reac-

the committee.
Militant members of the COM
rnittee and the rank and file Of
various locals will demand that the
question of ending the strike will
be decided by vote of the rank and
file of all unions.
Mr.. Vandeleur was successful in
making the first breech in the strike
front by arranging for the street car
men to return to work. A meeting
has been called Of all employees of
the Key System who operate cleo
trio trains and ferry boats on Frisco
Bay to vote on the question of re-
