British Labor Plans To Call
out Total OF Six Million Men
(By Dispatch A. p. wire>

LONDON, May 8.-La-
boris second line of de-
fense" is beginning to be
utilized in the great strug-
gle between the trades
unions and the govern
ment. These workers were
not included in the general
strike which began at mid
night last Monday.
The trades union congress has not

an dthere is grave apprehension that
the leaders may officially call out
both the second and third lines OF
defense, thus increasing the number
of strikers to possibly six million.
The second and third lines of de-
fense are composed of electrical and
gas workers and those engaged in
other public utilities, numbering from
two to three million men,. SUCH
workers are customarily permitted
by the trades, unions to remain at
their posts for the purpose of furn-
ishing the absolute needs of the ma
ton.
Gloom such as Great Britain has
not known since the great war end
ed has settled over the British Isles
as the first week of the general
strike drew to close. 1t is just
one week ago, May day, that the
miners laid down their tools and
abandoned the mine fields to the
safety men, They number more
than a million, and the other work
ers who joined them increased the,
number to about three million. Every
where the question is being asked
how long will the funds of the
unions enable them to feed the strik-
ers and their families
The trades union congress through
its executive council, however, to-
day refused to receive four million
rHbles (about $2,OO0,OOO) from the
LRussian Red international federation,

GOVERNOR ROSS
PAY S TRIBUTE.
TO IN r S"

CHEYENNE, Wyo May SAP ,
Governor Nellie Taylor Ross, who to-
morrow will wear the white flower
worn by millions of others, tonight
voiced tribute to the motherhood
of the world in statement issued to
the Associated Press
when l look at motherhood from
the viewpoint of a daughter, it is with
a feeling of reverence for it's noble
attributes and would pay high trib-
ute to the memory of her, who guided
my footsteps through the early days
of my life and whom I lost while
yet a child" she said. Though so
many years have passed, the impress
sion of her character and personality
is scarcely dimmed. 1t is a nimpres-
sion that has without doubt been one
ON the strong controlling Influences
Of my life from then until now:
Viewed from the eyes of a mother
for Governor Ross is the mother OF
three sons-motherhood is priceless
privilege" and "at the same time a
grave responsibility" the woman de-
cleared.
There is scarcely an experience in
interesting than that Of witnessing
the unfolding of a child's mind in it's
progress toward maturity, and, when
interest is inspired by maternal love,
it becomes truly rapturous,' she said.
The honor and homage to which
mothers day gives expression must
have the effect of inspiring in the
most imperfect of us who are mothers,
arousing in US an inspiration to make
our influence helpful to uor children
tha they may more nearly approach
the desire to prove our worthiness,
human perfection than would be pos
sible without it"
The observance of Mothers Day is
a sweet outpouring of incense
which must afford certain exalta-
ton of spirit to any mother" accord
ing them homage, which is, indeed
an impressive expression of the honor
and affection on which they are held
