SUGAR WAGES REDUCED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, March 3. Sir Maynard Hedstrom a passenger to Sydney oy the Makura, states that the reduction of wages by the Sugar Co. had been only two days in operation when lie left Suva and he could not say how the Indians were accepting the position. He thought active opposition was unlikely. The question was whether they would adapt themselves to the new conditions or apply in large numbers to be repatriated. He was not pessimistic about the fuiure of Fiji, which is full of possibilities, but would take a year or so before matters were back to normal.
