AN OUTBREAK IN
INDIA REPORTED
Peasants Thought in
Arms in Hyderabad

BOMBAY, India, July 80. - Re-
ports received here from Raichur
state that outbreaks have occurred
there. 1t is presumed that the peas
ants are involved although there is
an indication that railway workers
may also be taking part.
The Indian government has sue
ceeded in suppressing all details but
it is understood that police and pos
sibly troops, are being hurried to
the region.
Raichur is an important town at
the junction of two important rail-
way lines. The town lies in the do
minions of the nyzam of Hyderabad,
the largest Mohammedan state in In
dia. The nyzam, whose power is alb
solute in dealing with his own sub
jects, is one of the native princes
forstered by the British government
to police the Indian territories for
them.
The nyzam last month transfer
red 100000 rupees from his trea-
sury to the Imperial Bank of India.
He is reputed to have the largest
fortune among the Indian princes.
1t represents the taxes wrung prin-
cipally from the wretchedly op-
pressed peasants in his domain.

MANCHESTER, England, July

textile workers strike lin many re-
spects lockout) saw all the mills
closed down except for a few which
did not try to enforce the twelve
and half per cent wage cut de-
creed by the big employers asso-
citation. Half a million men are
idle, and 1900 mills shut down.
The forces Of the union are added
to by 100000 non-union men who
struck with the $4,000 members of
the union. The union is distributing
strike benefits of 50 a week for
young girls, $3.50 a week to men in
the card rooms, from $3.50 to S7.20
week to spinners. To these are
added 72 cents a week for child de-
pendents.
The wages the workers have been
living on amounted to an average
of $11.80 for men and $648 for wom-
en- workers per week. The cuts the
bosses proposed would have reduced
them to 1884 for men and S6.48 for
women.
The Macdonald labor" govern
ment, which has done nothing to
protect the workers from wage
cut, is believed to be negotiating Sc
cretly for a return of the strikers
on compromise of slightly small

Troops Rushing to

BOGOTA, Colombia, July 30,-The
government, in alarm, was rushing
federal troops to affected areas to-
day in an attempt to stem the Sc
ries of uprisings, purporting to be
under Communist leadership, which
have broken out in Tolima and San
tander departments.
Stringent censorship has virtually
annihilated all details of the pres
ent situation between the forces of
armed workers and the government
troops and police, but the alarm
which the government is manifest
ing, the troop movements, the long
conferences between leading gov
ernment officials and the censorship
itself may be taken as a satisfactory
indication that the authorities still
consider the situation extremely
grave for them.
1t is understood that the cabinet
met again today in extraordinary
session although no information was
afterwards given the press.

It is presumed that there will

Proof of Prejudice.
The attorneys for the defense
began today's proceedings by pre-
senting a mass of evidence to show
that although the worker population
of CASTOR County might be abso-

anti-strike propaganda, a continuous
barrage of newspaper agitation
coupled with the vilest ISLANDERS, and
the most outrageous provocation to
lynching, has been conducted by the

The possibility that the vicious

for the recent mutinies in Dame
