INDIA FACES CRISIS, UNREST
AMOUNTS AS LIVING COSTS SOAR
Natives blame England, sny II Broke
All Promises.

London. Jau 20.-India is facing
what experts say Is one OF the gravest
crisea in its history. Widespread UNI
rest has developed since the end OF
the war reports announce. This dis
content is said to be chiefly the re-
suit OF the high cost Of living and
consequent hard times
| The unrest has manifested itself In
serious ways. There have been many
strikes in large industrial centers, ac-
| companied by rioting and bloodshed

have been instituted and extremists

While there has been much talk of

printed propaganda would be of small
value as the vast bulk of the popu-
lation cannot read, while TO. spread II

in country the size of India.
The main causes of the urest may
be epitomized thus:
The high cost OF living in some
cases has advanced 1000 per cent,
while incomes have increased only a
small fraction.
The continuance Of wartime res
trictions on the populace, although

Allegation that the government has
failed to keep its wartime promises
for betterment of general conditions
of living and employment.
Opposition to the government has
been increased by the massacre Of
AmritcarP as the Indians describe the
events of April 1919, when. General
Dyer ordered his troops to fire on a
large crowd of people, resulting In
scores being killed and wounded
The cost of living hits the average
Indian hard since his main interest Is
in his food, and the observance OF his
religious rites. He is now unable to
buy the food to which he has long
been accustomed.
Regarding religious observances. the
cost Of ordinary cotton cloth Is
beyond the means of the masses. The
requires that the dead shall be buried
in unused shrouds. This observance to
the 100000 members of the religion
In India is all important.
Mohammedans are compelled to bury
their dead in clothing which had been

NEGRO GIRL ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING EMPLOYER.

Popular Bluff, Mo-. Jan. 2O,-A jury
was empaneled to sit in the case of
Muriel Gatewood 16-year- old Negro
girl, whose trial for murder will be-
gin Friday.
The girl is charged with the MUIR
der of George Arlington, who died
from arsenic poisoning on the night
of September 10. An analysis of the
soup eaten by Abingdon just before
his death disclosed quantity of ar
senic.
The girl had been discharged as kit
chen help by the Abingdon family a
few days before and on the night of
the poisoning had returned to ask to
be reinstated. She was refused and
left the house angry. 1t is thought
that she returned to the kitchen while
Mrs, Arlington was out of the room
and the soup cooking on the stove.
The small daughter of Mrs. Carl
Abingdon, grand niece of the dead
man, testified at the preliminary hear
ing that the Gatewood girl had come
back into the kitchen while her MOTH
er was in the other part of the house
and had stirred the soup.

with the Colored people coaches on
railroad trains, the Colored section
on street cars and elevators for Col
ored people in office buildings.
What action the committee took On
the subject, If any. is a matter of
speculation There is one report that
some of the highest officials on the
committee were in favor of the re-
peal of the Jim Crow.
The committee was formed for the
purpose of eliminating friction be-
tween the races. Its object Is to con-
slider complaints as they arise. recog-
nize them IL the people are in the
right, and endeavor to remove. quietly
and without publicity the source of
the complaint.
One OF the forms of race equality
upon which leaders of the race are
strongly insisting, it is understood, is
the discrimination" against members
of the race on railroads, street cars,
office buildings, elevators, and in no.
tells, restaurants and theaters.
