} <<“ —_ Fr E THOUSANDS IN NEW STRIKE AT INDIAN CENTER Hartal Spreads Over'| Entire Country | LONDON, England, Nov. 29.—Re- Forts received here early today from Bombay state that the walk-out of | further crowds of workers in sym- pathy with the gathering strike sen- timent in the textile industry has forced three more mills to shut| down. | | Thousands Out. | Several thousands of workers are | already out in the strike which be- | gan four days ago, following imme- diately on the heels of a settlement between the textile workers and the raill owners, The settlement was the outcome of the strike of the tex- tile workers which involved nearly 160,000 textile workers and tied up the industry for months in Bom- bay. The strike was settled only two weeks ago. As in the former big walk-out, the present situation is finding widespread repercussion throughout the country. At this time, the gov- ernment is especially alarmed over the possible repercussion which the new strike struggle will have in a country seething with a discontent among peasants and workers which has taken its most recent open form in the hartal or passive boycott of the Simon Investigation Commis- sion. The object of the Simon Com- mission is ostensibly to study the government of India with a view to introducing the home rule or “do- minion status.” New groups of students are re- ported to have joined the workers und peasants in their hartal in many cities and towns in the interior. The hartal movement has _ spread throughout the country.

The prisoners found themselyes in the stronghold of «koplje. A few days ago police spies at- tempted to murder one of the jailed students. This attempt was barely stopped but one of the students, Dimiter Tschkatroff, was seriously injured. ay eee ie Big RICE FIELDS. To Increase Areas for| Cotton MOSCOW, (By Mail).—The Eco- nomic Council of the Russian So- cialist Federated Soviet Republics has started organization of large government rice estates in the re- gion of the Turkestan-Siberian Rail- way. The realization of this project will) make it possible to free 200,000 hee- | tares of land taken now for sowing rice and to increase the area of cot- ton growing fields. If only 75 per cent of the area now occupied by rice would be used for cotton, that would increase the amount of raw cotton collected inj Middle Asia by 37,856 tons, In order to solve this problem it} is necessary to organize irrigation} of 300,000 hectares in the basin of the Ily River and Karatal River. It will be necessary to spend not less than 75,000,000 rubles on irri- gation of 300,000 hectares of land, acquisition of agricultural imple- ments and machinery and equipment and construction of buildings for} this purpose. Navy and Mine Bureau | Rush to Build Helium Plants for Coming War WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—An- ticipating the construction of a fleet of navy zeppelins, two of which are being contracted for now, the bureau of mines today announced that it is speeding completiog of helium gas plants, the latest of which is to cover 18% acres at Amarillo, Te .as.)

In Sarajevo the worker, Mehmed Jakubovic, was arrested because he distributed. a leaflet of the workers and peasants bloc on the approach- ing elections. Although the leaflet has been ruled to be legal, Jakobovic is still in jail. Arrests, Raids, Beatings.
