CHAPTER 1[..—MIGRATION AND THE FAoTORY WORKER.
1. In present circumstances, the aim should be to maintain the fac-
tory worker's link with the village and, as far as possible, to regularise
it
CuaprER II1—THE EMPLOYMENT OF THE FACTORY WORKER.
2. (a) Jobbers should be excluded from the engagement and dis.
missal of labour ve +» . .w .w
(b) Wherever the scale of the factory permits it, a labour
officer should be appointed directly under the General Manager. His
main functions should be in regard to engagements, dismissals and
discharge xe ve vo ww ve
{¢c) Where it is not possible to employ a whole-time labour
»fficer, the manager or some responsible officer should retain complete
sontrol of engagements and dismissals oo. ie es .
(d) Employers’ associations in co-operation with trade unions
should adopt a common policy to stamp out bribery Cee .e
3. Where women are engaged in substantial numbers, at least one
educated woman should be appointed in charge of their welfare and
supervision throughout the factory. She should be remunerated on a
salary and not a commission basis and should be responsible to the labour
officer or, if there is no labour officer, to the manager for the engage-
ment and dismissal of all female staff oe .e “| "
4. Workers should be encouraged to apply for definite periods of
leave and should go with a promise that on their return at the proper
time they will be able to resume their old work ,e - we
6. Wherever possible, an allowance should be given to the worker
who goes on leave after approved service .. oe .e Jn
6. The education of the industrial worker should receive special
attention, but, in preference to concentrating on the education of half-
timers, employers should try to develop the education of their workers’
children in their factory schools >
7. In applying compulsory education,
{(#) municipalities should have regard to the special claims of
wards inhabited by mill workers ;
(b) it is desirable that the upper age-limit should be brought up
to at least 12 years; and
(¢) employers might assist by lending buildings, by equipping
schools and in other ways . oe . e
8. The textile industries should endeavour to secure apprentices
with a preliminary education ‘i ii os . oe
9. The Indian Jute Mills Association should combine to maintain a
part-time school for selected adult and adolescent workers. Wherever
there is a concentration of industry, the possibilities of similar co-opera-
sive action deserve examination by employers ve
10. Where any comprehensive scheme for reducing staff is contem-
plated in an industry, the introduction of a joint scheme of unemploy-
ment insurance, e.g., the one outlined by the Fawcett Committee of
1928.29, should be considered ..
