LABOR UNREST ABROAD
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. -
