              Bangladesh Ends Search for Building Collapse Victims

   Officials in Bangladesh say they have ended the search for victims of a
   building collapse that killed 1,127 people.
   The search of the building that housed several garment factories near
   Dhaka, the capital, ended Tuesday.
   Recovery workers found a survivor of the accident Friday who had been
   buried under the rubble of the building for 17 days.
   Sunday, the government said it plans to raise the minimum wage for
   garment workers in response to protests linked to last month`s
   collapse.
   The April 24 accident near Dhaka sparked days of demonstrations by
   garment workers against their pay and working conditions.
   Authorities have arrested at least nine people in connection with the
   collapse.
   Officials say the running of several heavy generators on upper floors
   may have contributed to the collapse because the structure was not
   built to support them.
   The Bangladesh government says it has shut down 18 garment factories
   for safety reasons following the collapse.
