THOUSANDS HOLD
DEMONSTRATION
IN CITY AT NEWS
Tax Extortion Brought
About Outbreak

BOMBAY, India, July 5.-An up,
rising of peasants and agricultural
workers in the Gijerat, the northern
agricultural region of the Bombay
presidency, is defying the British au-
thorities and organizing more than
$4,000 land workers for revolt.
This information, which was re-
ceived here yesterday evening, was
the occasion for the most enthusiast
tic demonstration that Bombay has
seen in many years. Thousands of
workers, many of them striking tex
tile workers, of whom more than
10000 are on strike at the mills here,
paraded through the city in SYM
pathy with the revolving peasants
and land workers in the northern dis
tricts.
While the British government is
taking every precaution to prevent
news of the revolt from reaching the
south, it has been learned that the
immediate cause of the outbreak of
the peasants was the recently i'm
posed land tax. Brutal attempts by
the officials to extort the tax precipi-
tated the revolt.
1t has also been learned from I'M
official sources that the revolution
airy organization in the Gijerat has
forced the resignation of seventy-nine
headmen who were attempting to en-
force the tax collection.
Mohandis K. Ghandi and Vallabab-
hal Patel are reported to be active in
the outbreak.
Grave alarm is reflected in the
measures which the government is re-
ported to be taking to crush the up
rising. According to reports from
Delhi, the call for troops will be dis
patched to the scene of the revolt at
once. 1t is believed here that men
are already entrained.
The attitude which the Indian rail-
way workers may be expected to take
in the present situation is causing the
greatest excitement among the work
ers. Recent unrest among the strik-
ers in the shops at Howrah and other
cen ers, which was suppressed by
troops from the Northwestern Rifles.
has incensed the railway workers.
In event of their refusal to man
the trains carrying troops against
the revolving peasants, it is expected
that the government will use troops
to ruin the trains.
