AMAZING LETTER IN

CALCUTTA NEWSPAPER.

"STATESMAN'S" COMMENT.

Calcutta, July 14, In an editorial on the Belur railway disaster, the "States- man" says: "Hard upon the tragedy at Belur comes a new and ghastly horror. For three days the Indian Press contained sug- gestione that the accident was the fault of the railway author ities and that although the Punjab Mall passed safely over the line two hours earlier, the permanent way was in such a deplorable con-

"The anonymous writer offers to prove that, more than 300 are dead, and half of them could have been saved "if the relief train had not arrived and killed the dying with iron rods, etc.""

Concluding, the "Statesman” says that this form of publica- tion of a charge of wholesale murder is surely beyond prece dent.

Appeal to Labourers.

Madras, July 13.

Mr. Percy Rothera, the Agent for the S. I. Railway, has ad- dressed another conciliatory open letter to the railway labourers, agreeing to their demand for an extension of time for voluntary resignation.

On the question of increased wages, Mr. Rothera states that the present wages, speaking gen- erally, are higher than the pre- War level.

While agreeing that contented labour is an asset to the com pany, the Agent warns ther against a strike, which would de- prive the men of their wages.

Continuing, the paper says:- "Yesterday morning there was a new and terrible horror. "For- ward" published two letters, such as we imagine never before ap peared in the Press of Calcutta. The first is signed 'A Real Horri- fied Spectator,' who declared that along with much else, the wounded were being searched and killed mind you, killed, not saved. Where a cry arose a Sahib (Euro- pean) came with a light, and somebody delivered a heavy blow, and an Indian spoke no more. All the wounded and dying were heaped into a waggon."
