(By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) DELHI, August 27.
The Congress revolutionary movement cannot be stemmed by concessions, was the attitude at the conference at Calcutta to-day, when resolutions were passed calling on the Government to take drastic measures to combat the campaign; and condemning further delay in the hope of creating a favourable atmosphere for a conference.
All the members of the working committee of the Indian National Congress, excepting two women, were arrested at New Delhi this afternoon, in a lightning rajid on a house where the committee was meeting. A Government servant who was wounded in the Calcutta bomb outrage this morning, has died from terrible injuries.
The police have secured evidence that the crimes were committed by a gang of Bengali terrorists, who were in possession of a large number of bombs.
