LONDON, April 8. There is a de
cided movement on foot in trades un
ion circles today in favor of a gen
eral strike in May which would make
the coal miners' .strike look like a
mere episode.

ed recently by threats mado by anti
labor members of parliament to try to
bring about the repeal of the trades
disputes act of 1003, which permit $
peaceful picketing, and to introduce
legislation providing for compulsory
arbitration of industrial troubles. In
this connection the present activities

tions are considered significant.
