MUX STRIKE OVQR. OED -WAGES AGAIN. (Received 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, December 1. The prolonged strike, owing to the reduction of wages, involving all Bombay cotton operatives, numbering about fifteen hundred, which has dragged on since September, is likely to end immediately as a result of the announcement made to-day that the Government of India would suspend the excise duty on cotton goods manufactured in India. The ; mill owners consequently restored the former wages, and the operatives are i expected to resume at once.—(A. and | N.Z, Cable.)
