INDUSTRIAL DISCONTENT

CAUSES STRIEES IN INDIA MASS ACTION GAINING FAVOR

(Beater's -Message.)

Bombay, October ll.

The most noteworthy feature of the position in India at present is the . 'strikes which are breaking out in all '.''-parts of the country, especially in the

bombay, Bengal, and Madras districts. It is considered unlikely that these are . connected with the -non-co-operation movement, but they certainly show that the discontent due to .industrial conditions is spreading in India, '' and that the workers are gradu-

ally grasping the idea that mass action ' may remove their griev-ances. It is impossible yet to gauge the extent of thé non-co-operation move-ment. It has not been adopted out. wardly as yet, except that enthusiastic

.articles in the nationalist* press dwell on "the unanimity of the country" in the ^movement. TEere is little sipn of changad conditions, ' and there have been comparatively few fesignationr. of - t;tles or withdrawals of children from

the schools. -
