From The Hindu Archives, February 16, 1926: The cotton industry

Osaka, Feb. 15: Japanese cotton mill-owners and traders are seriously concerned at the reports of Bombay mill-owners’ agitation against the importation of Japanese cotton. The Japanese Cotton Spinners’ Association have issued a statement in which they point out that hours of Japanese mill-hands are the same as those of Indians, namely, ten, but the Japanese mills pay thirty per cent higher wages.
