GANDHI’S CAMPAIGN.
CLASH WITH POLICE. SEVEN FOLOWERS INJURED. DELHI. April 9. Thousands of villagers who journeyed to Aat, in the Bombay Presidency, expecting to see Gandhi arrested, were disappointed. The authorities completely ignored the Mahatma, who exhorted his hearers to abandon their attitude of nonviolence and to resist to the utmost the confiscation of any of the small quantity of salt he and his followers had distributed. , Demonstrators have been arrested in several places and sentenced to terms of imprisonment. A clash between Gandhi’s volunteers and the police in Delhi resulted in slight injuries to seven of the volunteers, who were carried through the streets as evidence of the “Government’s repression methods.”
