Detailed Solution

In 1918, Mahatma Gandhi organised a Satyagraha movement for the cotton mill workers in Ahmedabad. The owners of the Ahmedabad mill wanted to take the bonus in a disagreement with the workers. In order to deal with wartime inflation brought on by Britain's involvement in World War I, which doubled the prices of food, grains, clothing, and other necessities, workers demanded a 50% wage increase. But only a 20% pay raise was being offered by the mill owners. The workers began a strike. Gandhi stepped in to mediate the conflict between Ahmedabad cotton mill owners and employees in March 1918 over the discontinuation of the plague bonus.
