URGES STRIKE IN BOMBAY; JAILED Roy Asks Struggle for Release of Spratt By N. ROY. PARIS, (By Mail)—Philip Spratt, who was “recently acquitted in India of a charge of sedition, has again been arrested, this time for “Com- munist propaganda.” He was arrested while distributing leaflets to the Bombay textile work- ers who are on strike for the cime in two years against wage cuts. This last “offence” is thus as much Communistic” as the former one was “seditious.” Spratt’s “crime” is that he put into practice the promises made to the Indian workers by the British Labor Movement. Repeatedly Prosecuted. Eyen now, two officials of the British T. U. C. (Purcell and Halls- worth) are touring India to deliver the message of solidarity. But Spratt is an ordinary member of the British Labor Movement, and is repeatedly prosecuted for his efforts to act ac- cording to the decisions of the British Labor Movement. The Bombay strike has a direct bearing on the wage attack in La: and Spratt’s action in helping str rs was in defence of the Lancashire operatives as well as of those in Bombay. This being so, will the British mt demand the release of and also freedom for any to give assistance to In- jor? lure to do this would give the Indian workers one more reason to doubt British labor leaders. t, BANDITS LOOT BANK.

There is scarcely an indus- trial district in the whole state where there is not a large surplus of work- ers. This is the admission even of manufacturing interests here, the majority of whom are making textiles. Unemployment in the southern tex- tile mills is declared by experts to be a more serious sign of general crisis than northern unemployment because of the ‘nearness of southern mills to the+raw material and to a cheaper labor supply.
