thrown out into the street, with
their threats cut.
A gang of Pathan strike break
ors caught a mill striker directly in
front of British sentry this morn
ing and cut his throat without in
reference from the sentry. In
making his official report Of the
occurrence, the soldier gave as
reason for his inactivity in the pres
ence of 81 crime the excuse that he
he'd tainted at the horrible sight"
The official death toll, announced
today, included 80 natives killed in
street fighting within the last "a
hours. Twenty-one of these were
mill strikers.
Hundreds Injured.
Hundreds of persons have been in
jured, many of them seriously in

Gangsters Attack.
The largest clash today was start
ed by gang of strikebreakers who
attacked Hindus on tram-car.
I More than a score of persons were
severely beaten before the attackers
were dispersed.
The war-like atmosphere of the
city was increased this morning with
the arrival of more troops. The aux
iliary units now in the city include
the Bombay light horse Gall Euro
peans), the Bombay infantry, a brig
ade of field artillery, company of
engineers, two railway battalions
(partly mobilized) and large num-
Der of European business men who
have been enrolled as honorary
magistrate" for duty with the
troops. AS a result, a considerable
part of the city's European and
civilian population is on patrol.
Auxiliary troops have pitched
camp in the public parks.
Religious Side Issue
There was a sharp fight at Kali
hedevi yesterday, only stopped after
the soldiers had killed four of the
mill workers, who were mass pick
citing against scabs, mostly Pathans,
imported by the mill owners with
the consent and protection of the
government. The government in
sists that strikebreakers in this
Hindu community be Mohammedans,
for this divides the workers, and
introduces into a social struggle the
distracting elements Of a religious
war. The Pathans, being Moham-
medans, call upon the Mohammedan
colony here for protection and re-
venge against the Hindu mill pick
cts.
Workers who realize the situation
and the tactics of the British i'm
perial government are touring the
city in squads, urging that the re-
hgious war be checked by the work
crs themselves.
