BRITISH INDUSTRIAL WAR IS ONLY BEGUN General Strike of All Trades Unions" Threatens Nation London. April 8. A decided move ment is on foot in trades union cir4 cles today in favor of a general strike that may make the coal strike look like a mere 'episode. The movement was encouraged recently bv the threats of anti-labor members in par liament to try to repeal the trades disputes act of 1908, which permits peaceful picketing, and Introduce In its place legislation providing for compulsory arbitration of industrial troubles. "Our organization Is practically per fected," said W. A. Appleton, secre tary of the General Federation of Trades Unions. "You may rest as sured that any attempt to deprive us of our rights to strike, or even to re strict our fight will be promptly met by action that would put such a pro posal out of court for the next gen eration." i In any event there Is likely to be a number of strikes of the various trades, due to the expiration of agree ments in May, which might easily de velop into widespread stoppages. 'The Shipyards and Engineering Trades Federation have decided not to renew the present agreements which will terminate May 1st and will make a determined fight to gen erally Improve the conditions of the men of those crafts, as well as the re arrangement of the hours of labor. The building trades unions of Lon don have drawn up an ultimatum and their demands will be made to their employers the same date. These two strikes and their demands will probably spread to the provinces.
