their homes, leaving only a girl telephone
operator on duty. When asked
as to why they had quit the only answer
that was forthcoming from them
was that they were afraid of "the sol
diers stationed at the yard office. The
telephone operator stated last night
that she would also quit her post unless
she had some one there with her.
At a late hour last night a largo
V crowd of people had congregated in
front of the main entrance to the
shops. All were orderly, their sole
purpose in being there, 1t* was1 said,
was to see just what move was to be

LABOR COUNCIL
, VOICES APPEAL
Washington, Aug. 21.-**?"Railraki
worker# on strike m ami fighting
I the fight of all workers,'* a&L "should
have all the moral and financial as
?istancev,which the labor, movement
can give them, an appeal issued tonight
by the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor declared.
Signed by President Gompers
and the entire membership of the
federation's controlling commit .ec,
the message recounted the causes of
the rail strike?from the union viewpoint?asserting
that it had bsen
called "to resist the imposition of un
fair terms and conditions of employment,"
and asked general contribution
of funds from labor organizations
to assist the strikers,
"The struggle in which these workers
are involved is one which is important
not only to themselves and
their organizations," the appeal said,
""but to all organized workers and All {
Americans who love justice and fair!
I dealing < < must be clear to all
I wage earners and to all thinking men
that the policy which baa been pursued
by the railroads has been entirely
in harmony with the policies
of all organizations of employers
which, since the armistice, have been
seeking o weaken ana destroy the
voluntary organizations of the workers.
"No amount of conscientious effort
and forbearance oar the part of the
workers, however, coijlti overcome the
attitude and policies dictated by the
small but powerful group of bankera
who control the finances of the
railroads, and who have compelled
the adoption by the railroads of a
policy of bitter antagonism to the organizations.of
the workers.
"Finally, "the decisions of the railway
labor board compelled roaiatance
on the part of workers through
suspension of work-'- A wage S?
cents per~hour was estaWishw
section men, and this wage is the ba*
sis upon whfch all other wages were
. The railroad shop
workers are'bn strike to endeavor to|
secure a living wage for tha mainofrtW
American standard of
living. ... It is hopad
strata its solidarity by coming generously
and immediately to the assistance
of the striking railway shop
craft organizations."
