A report from the English journalist, Webb Miller, who witnessed one of the clashes, has become a classic description of the way in which Satyagraha was carried out at the forefront of the battle lines. 2,500 volunteers advanced on the salt works of **Dhrasana: **

=
 "Gandhi's men advanced in complete silence before stopping about one-hundred meters before the cordon. A selected team broke away from the main group, waded through the ditch and neared the barbed-wire fence. (...) Receiving the signal, a large group of local police officers suddenly moved towards the advancing protestors and subjected them to a hail of blows to the head delivered from steel-covered Lathis (truncheons). None of the protesters raised so much as an arm to protect themselves against the barrage of blows. They fell to the ground like pins in a bowling alley. From where I was standing I could hear the nauseating sound of truncheons impacting against unprotected skulls. The waiting main group moaned and drew breath sharply at each blow. Those being subjected to the onslaught fell to the ground quickly writhing unconsciously or with broken shoulders (...). The main group, which had been spared until now, began to march in a quiet and determined way forwards and were met with the same fate. They advanced in a uniform manner with heads raised - without encouragement through music or battle cries and without being given the opportunity to avoid serious injury or even death. The police attacked repeatedly and the second group were also beaten to the ground. There was no fight, no violence; the marchers simply advanced until they themselves were knocked down. (...)" =====

Following their action, the men in uniform, who obviously felt unprotected with all their superior equipment of violence, could think of nothing better to do than that which seems to overcome uniformed men in similar situations as a sort of "natural" impulse: If they were unable to break the skulls of all the protesters, they now set about kicking and aiming their blows at the genitals of the helpless on the ground. "For hour upon hour endless numbers of motionless, bloody bodies were carried away on stretchers", according to Webb Miller. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">What did the Satyagrahi achieve? Neither were the salt works taken, nor was the Salt Act in its entirety formally lifted. But the world began to realize that this was not the point. The Salt Satyagraha had demonstrated to the world the almost flawless use of a new instrument of peaceful militancy.

Signs of Economic Troubles
> On Tuesday, October 29, 1929, "Black Tuesday" the value of stocks in the market plummeted as speculators rushed to sell their rapidly depreciating stocks. This began the panic and led to more companies either closing or considerably slowing down production. Not So Fun Facts? True Events in US in 1930s
 * __**Farmers**__ - In North & South America, Australia, Africa, India, no longer have the European market to sell the majority of their grains. American farmers had loans for modern farm equipment to repay, so kept their production rate high even though the demand was now lower. The worst for American farmers was yet to come the majority of the Midwestern section of the US already suffering due to a [|severe drought] the worst was yet to come. The infamous weather phenomenon known as the [|Dust Bowl]added insult to injury carrying away valuable topsoil which had been exposed due to the drought. The downward spiral of farmers woes seemed to be endless especially in America's heartland.
 * __**Protective Tariffs**__ - Wanted to protect industries within countries. Smoot-Hawley Tariff did not protect American industries, rather it isolated America economically. Europeans could not sell their goods in the US. Since Europeans had less money they could not purchase American made goods nor pay off war debts. Spiraling out control
 * __**New Consumerism**__ - The consumer of the 1920s had changed their ways of purchasing goods in the United States. Cash was still good but why wait til to tomorrow when you could have now. New expensive gadgets such as the car, radios, refrigerators,etc were bought on installment plans. The new consumer could have the new conveniences on credit by promising to pay things off in time.Warning: How many new gadgets could people buy? Companies also overproduced these new high ticket items or durable goods. How many durable goods could the new consumer purchase? What does durable goods really mean?[| American consumerism 1920s]
 * **__Stock Market Speculation & Panic__-** Market speculation in the 1920s was at new heights in the "Decade of Prosperity". Acting on "hot tips", speculators borrowed money from the bank to purchase stocks in companies which drove the stock prices up to new highs. The idea is always to buy lower priced stocks that have potential to attract investors, & ride them up as they increase in value. Investors should sell high and take back profit so that they could pay off their margins or loans from the bank.
