STRIKE ON EAST INDIAN RAILWAY.
Political Motive.
Bombay, February 12. The strike on the East Indian Railway affects the line from Allahabad northwards to Kalka and westwards to Jubbulpore. Goods | traffic is suspended between these places, but mail and express trains are still running. An effort is being made to maintain passenger services. Troops are patrolling the line and the trains carry armed guards. The political motives of the strike are shown by the fact that the intimidation practised by the strikers was accompanied by cheers for Gandhi. Auglo-Indians and Europeans are manning all the posts deserted by Indians.
