BOYCOTT IN INDIA.
BRITISH COTTON GOODS. PICKETING BEGINS AGAIN. DELHI, May 6. The recent protest by Manchester merchants against the boycott of British cotton goods and their request for a reduction in the Indian import duties on textiles are gleefully published in the Nationalist newspapers under the heading " Manchester's Wail." At the same time picketing, which had ceased since Lord Irwin's agreement with Gandhi, has been recommenced in the Calcutta bazaars. Headed by a local Indian National Congress leader, pickets visited the shops and stood with folded hands, exhorting the merchants and their customers to have nothing to do with foreign cloth. A police ollicer accompanied the procession, but no action was taken, as the pickets carefully explained that they were acting within the agreement, which sanctioned peaceful picketing.
