TRAM STRIKE IN CALCUTTA
(Rec. 11 p.m.) CALCUTTA, July 19. Tram workers in Calcutta today came out on a five-day strike. It was the eighteenth day of the Left-Wing-sponsored agitation against increased tram fares, and the tram workers said that with stones and bombs being thrown at the trams they were not prepared to risk their lives. They demanded that the Government reach a settlement with the “Tram and Bus Fare Resistance Committee.”
