TROUBLE IN JUTE MILLS.
Serious Fosition In Bengal. ACTIVITIES OF COMMUNISTS. (United Press Association.—-By Electric Telegraph -Copyright.) DELHI, August 5. A complete stoppage in the Bengal jute mill is threatened, due to Communist agitators, whose influence has thrown idle 120,000 men. Nine more mills stopped to-day. Forty per cent, of the looms in the industry are idle. The weavers declare that they are satisfied with the conditions, but declare that they would be threatened with molestation if they went to work.
TA cable message received on Monday stated that in discussing the result of the South-east Leeds byelection and the failure of “Red Thursday,” as well as other events, the Daily Telegraph” commented as follows:—"A more spectacular failure than that of Communism could be hardly imagined, yet it remains an element of danger. Its indulgence in the industrial situation elsewhere within the Empire, notably in Australia, and more so' in India, has been, and remains, a ruinous one. There is no more startling example In history of the power of a monomaniac minority to deflect the course of events.”]
