68. The inspection of cotton-ginning factories and other seasonal 
factories should be largely carried out by part-time inspectors. Officers 
of the grade of Industrial Surveyors should not be employed for this 
purpose. Selected revenue officers of suitable grade should be given a 
short course of instruction under the Chief Inspector with a view to their 
employment in districts where such factories are found. This system 
should not apply to tes factories in Bengal and Assam. Regular forms 
should be prepared by the Factory Inspection Department for issue to 
part-time inspectors and a copy of the report of each inspection should 
be submitted to the Chief Inspector of Factories wi on .s

A.— Small factories using power. 
60. In the case of factories using power and employing less than 
920 but not less than 10 persons, only the following sections of the Fac- 
tories Act should apply automatically :— 
Section 5, Chapter III (excluding sections 12 and 15), section 37 
and the appropriate parts of Chapter VIII with section 50. 
Local Governments should retain the power of applying 
the whole Act by notification, and should be given power 
to apply selected sections to any such factory .. oo. 
70. Local Governments should be given power to apply the sections 
specified above to similar places employing less than 10 persons where 
conditions are dangerous ws wn PY a +9 
71. The * number employed > for this purpose should be the aggre- 
gate number employed for any part of the 24 hours .- ve 
B.—Fartories not using power.

factories, without power machinery, erploying 50 or more persons during 
any part of the year . w wn .. 2% $e 
73. The starting age for children under this Act should be 10 years 
in the first instance, and protection in the matter of hours should be 
confined to children between 10 and 14 years I. . 
74. Hours of children should fall within limits to be specified by 
local Governments, but in no case should the working hours exceed 
geven, nor should they fall outside a period of nine hours, with a rest 
interval of at least one hour. The overriding maxima should be 
embodied in the Act  .. ay we oe op vs

be allowed to work overtime or to take work home after factory hours

the labour of children and the execution of bonds pledging such labour 
should be examined by Government. In any case a bond pledging the 
labour of a person under 15 years executed for or on account of any 
consideration should be void. 
The above recommendation is general and not confined to factories 
mentioned jn this chapter . .- +3 vo

day of the week to be specified beforehand by the local Government. 
Subject to particular exemptions the closing day should be the same for 
all factories in the same district .. .n ae

regard to buildings, latrines, ventilation, lighting and drainage, and might 
empower local Governments to apply welfare orders of a simple nature
