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.
