WILD HOST OF STRIKERS
INDIAN RAILWAYMEN TRAINS AND MEN STONED By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 12.4 p.m. DELHI, Wednesday. A strike of 15,000 employees in the railway workshops at Lilloah, just outside Calcutta, took a serious turn when 10,000 of the strikers marched to the business quarters of the city and blocked the street outside the railway offices. Upon the agent declining to concede the principle of full pay while no work was being done, the crowd stoned the trains and loyal workers and lay on the rails. The police fired. One man was killed and 20 were wounded.—Sun.
