London, September 17.
Unofficial workers' loadors at London meetings today proposed rebellion against the Executive of their union, the mammoth 1,300,000-member Transport and General Workers Union, unless it accodes to their do- mands
The meetings were co-ordinoted among the members of the transport, water- front and food distribution industries in a move which, it was be- lieved, aimed at setting up a breakaway organisation.
