The Inspectors have to spend 12 days every month on the line in inspection and 5 days in the Railway Pamaster's offices in connection with the working of the Payment of Wages Act the Hours of Employment Regulations and the Employment of Children Act. [...] Chapter VIA of the Indian Railways Act 1890 and the Rules made by the Governor General-in-Council in pursuance of the powers conferred on him by section 71E of the said Act and the s bsidiary Instructions issued by the Railway Board in exercise of their executive authority constitute the Hours of Employment Regulations. [...] Temporary Exemptions.—Sub-rule 1 of Rule 5 of the Railway Servants' Hours of Employment Rules 1931 vests in the head of a Railway the power to make temporary exemptions of Railway Servants from the limits of hours of work prescribed in section 71-C of the Indian Railways Act. [...] The recurrence of strikes and threats of strikes brought into prominence the question of the necessity of providing machinery to investigate and review the existing hours and conditions of work of the various categories of Railway servants. [...] The-experience of the working of the Hours of Employment Regulations points to the imperative need for rexamining the nature of work of each category of railway staff and accordingly reclassifying all railway workers since owing to the changes in the conditions and circumstances under which the railway workers are working some of them cla;sified as Intermittent are doing continuous work.
