LOCAL EMPLOYERS' STRONG ACTION.

While developments in the local strike to be reported yesterday were few, with the exception of the fact that the steady stream of returning - ̈. Strikers was continued, the latter fact in itself bears out the rapidly growing conviction that the deadlock is nearly over. It is pleasant to be able to record that inany Arms in the Colony to whom application is being made by ex-employees for reinstatement, are taking up a strong line of action, and are re-engaging the prodigals at considerably reduced wages. One very important concern is effecting reductions of as much as fifty per cent. in the case of some of the returned absentees, who are agreeing to these drastic terms with little original resistance. The meek- ness with which the chastened trikers are accepting their faancial penalties is a sign of a general realization on their part of the lawless- ates of their recent action, and there is little doubt that if all employers -large and small throughout the the Colony, took the same line 'as the concern in question, the recurrence of an industrial strike in Hong- " kong would be minde a very remote possibility" inderd.
