Civil Disobedience Revival in India
MANY ARRESTS BEING MADE.
United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. CALCUTTA, Jan. 19. Despite the fact that Mr. Gandhi and thousands of leaders and supporters are in gaol, the Congress civil disobedience movement, after a few months of inactivity, is showing signs of a revival, especially in Bombany, where many youths are being arrested daily for attempting to prevent Indian dealers selling British cloth. Rajendra Prasad, acting-president of the Central Congress organisation, was sentenced at Patna to fifteen months’ hard labour for unlawful activities; and Gandhi’s secretary, Pyare Lai, and two barristers were sentenced at Bombay to eighteen months, for a similar offence.
