refer to, and express my grateful thanks for, the whole-hearted co-operation of the Managements of all the mills which were included in the Enquiry. Many of them engaged special staffs to fill in the forms and the officers of every mill readily supplied the information—and there was a good deal of it—that was asked for from time to time. The Bombay and the Ahmedabad Millowners’ Associations gave every possible assistance and so did the Managements of the Sholapur mills. The assistance of the Technical Sub-Committee of the Bombay Millowners’ Association consisting of Mr. A. Geddis (Chairman) and Messrs. H. P. Mody, J. A. Taylor and T. Watts with Mr. T. Maloney, the Secretary of the Association, as Secretary, was invaluable, and Mr. Maloney at all stages of the Enquiry was ready with information and elucidation. Mz. G. I. Patel, the Secretary of the Ahmedabad Millowners’ Association, the late Mr. Narottam Morarjee and Messrs. J. F. McDonnell and A. Grier at Ahmedabad and Sholapur respectively were most helpful. J. F. GENNINGS, Director of Information and Labour Intelligence. LABOUR OFFICE, SECRETARIAT : 11th February 1930.
