FIFTH BOMB OUTRAGE

EXTREMISTS IN BENGAL BOMB IN POLICE STATION TWO OFFICERS WOUNDED [By Telegraph— Press Association—Copyright] Received Sept. 4, 11.5 p.m. DELHI, Sept. 24. The fifth bomb outrage in Bengal took place yesterday, when a bomb was thrown at the Khulna police station. The head constable and subinspector were wounded, the former seriously. OFFICIAL WEEKLY REVIEW QUIET PERIOD EXPERIENCED [ Brit’sh Official Wireless. ] RUGBY, Sept. 23. The Government of India’s appreciation of the situation up to September 20, states that there is little to report from the north-west frontier province, and so far as specific incidents are concerned, the week in internal India has been one of comparative quietA recent report received from tho Bombay Government relating to the efforts made by Congress during the latter half of last month to capture labour Bombay city shows that these met with very moderate success and there are diverse influences at work likely to prevent anything in the nature of a serious Labour movement in favour of Congress. The number of unemployed mill-hands continues to increase although perhaps not so rapidly as was apprehended elsewhere. The labour situation generally was satisfactory. During the week elections were held in Bombay city and the methods adopted by volunteers brought them in collision with the police on several occasions, but no serious incident occurredIn spite of various devices adopted by Congress, it may now be assumed that apart from the absence of Congress representation the constitution of various legislative bodies will be little affected. The civil disobedience movement has conspicuously failed to impart the working of the legislative councils or administration by the Minister of transferred departments, except insofar as it has weakened financial resources of the Provincial Governments, both by a reduction of revenue and an increase of expenditure.
