HC Deb 06 May 1929 vol 227 c1953W
Mr. GARDNER

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India the number of mill workers now on strike in Bombay; and whether he will inform the House of the grievances leading these men to come out?

Earl WINTERTON

According to Reuter, the numbers on strike on 2nd May were 150,000. The grounds alleged by the Girni Kamgar Union, which called the strike, are victimisation of their members and refusal of the Millowners' Association to redress grievances.
