CLASH
WITH POLICE
GANDHI STOPS AN IMPENDING CONFLICT
THE SIKHS' STAND
PREPARED TO FIGHT TO THE
BITTER END
A serious collision between police and Indian volunteers at Lahore, who were charged by the All-India Congress with the main tenance of order, was only narrowly averted by the personal inter vention of Gandhi. Two volunteers assaulted two C. I. D. plain
clothes Inspectors who, the volunteers alleged, interfered. with some women. A police detachment arrived and demanded the surrender of the volunteers,, but their colleagues were prepared to resist and a conflict seemed inevitable, when Gandhi advised a surrender of the volunteers, which Congress officials enforced. The Police withdrew, and quiet was restored.
