CALCUTTA Mobs Set 2 Tram Cars

On Fire

Calcutta, July 3.

Over six hundred persons including three Communist members of the West Bengal Legisla- tive Assembly were arrested in Calcutta as de- monstrations against Increased tramfares' con- tinued for the third day today.

Though the new fares announced by the Bri- tish owned tramway company came into effect from July 1, passengers have been refusing to pay the increased fare for at least two days.

This has resulted in heavy loss to the Tram- way Company whose daily average collection from second class fares is about Rs.24,000.

The arrested persons including the Communist. leader Jyoti Basu appeared before a city Magistrate on charges of disorderly conduct and nonpayment of enhanced tram fares.

Twenty-seven were pardoned from various gaol terms, 31 were pardoned from life sentences, and 56 who were sentenced to death were allowed to serve life terms infing three legislators Japan's Sugamo prison.
