GENERAL STRIKE
ON INDIA LINES
Hundreds of Arrests as
Trains Halt

CALCUTTA, India, July 22.-
The tense situation among workers
in South India reached a crisis to-
day when general strike Of rail-
way workers was declared, accord
ing to dispatches which are arriving
here.
Thousands of employers are af-
fected by the strike and scenes of
the utmost confusion exist in some
parts of the province of Madras,
one of the most important in South
India. Workers have prevented the
operation of trains by hurting
themselves on the tracks and defy
ing the police and emergency crews,
the dispatches say.
The workers are reported to be
taking things in their own hands.
A heavy guard of special police was
summoned to control the situation.
Hundreds of arrests have been
made.
Refusal of owners of business to
deal with the labor unions has long
ben threatening serious disturbance
in India. Owners have repeatedly
refused to recognize the unions and
serious clashes between police and
strikers have resulted.
The strike conferred around the
city of Madras, important as
transportation center of the lower
peninsula.

Despite an obvious effort to avoid
a strikers demonstration at the re-

by textile strike leader, by freeing
him shortly after 7 a. m. Saturday
morning instead of at the announced
time of 8 a. M, hundreds of strikers
were already waiting at the House
of Correction gates in time to greet
Beale with enthusiastic cheers.
Beale had just completed a 30-day
sentence for organizing a strikers
parade and for other activities.

union, however, arrived too late to
officially welcome him back to the
strikers ranks, but after having
sped back to the union headquarters

MOSCOW, July 22-The Soviet
airmen, Chukhnovsky, Prof. Samillo-
witch, and the others of the expedi-
ton aboard the Krassin, who rescued
Is of the survivors of the Mobile
disaster, may visit the United
States in September, according to
an interview published in the "Izves-
tia," chief Soviet newspaper, today.
The Soviet government has given
permission to the heroes of the Arc
tic rescue to accept the invitation
of the Russian American Chamber
of Commerce to visit this country.
This was the content of an an
nouncement made by the Soviet
Rescue Committee today.
Official and public opinion was
immensely interested in the an
nouncement that the invitation had
been extended and the news of it's
acceptance was welcomed through
out the country.
The date of the proposed trip is
still uncertain, but it will hardly
be before the end of September,
because Prof. Samillovitch, head of
the relief expedition aboard the So
Wet icebreaker Krassin, reports
from Kings Bay that the vessel was
SO badly damaged in her struggle
with the ice as to require refitting,
which will be carried out within the
next two weeks at a Scandinavian
port, probably Gothenburg.
Charles Smith, the Moscow rep
resentative of the Russian-Ameri-
can Chamber of Commerce, speaks
warmly of the worldwide interest
in the achievement of the Soviet air
heroes who saved the survivors of
the fascist expedition when all the
other countries attempting rescue
work had failed.

Gitlow, who was introduced by

MOSCOW, July 22.-Carrying

the Planning Commission the gov
eminent of the U. S. S. R. has or
dered general increase in the price
of grain of approximately 10 to IS
per cent on wheat and % per cent
on rye.
The plan was destined to better
relations between the city and vii
lage by raising the prices Of the
peasants products, thus enabling
him to buy manufactured goods as
his needs require.
The actual carrying out of the
plan in such a great increase of
prices is expected to result in great
benefits for the peasant, especially
with such good prospects for the
autumn crop.
The economic plan promises to be
fulfilled, as far as the peasant prob
lem is concerned, contrary to pes
