Report on the Royal Commission on Labour in India 1929

1929

Our thanks are also due to the Secretary of State for the Colonies the Ceylon Goverment the CeLlon Association in London and the Planters' Association of Ceylon for their valuable help : and to the Director of the International Labour Office who.vjaced the resources of that office at our disposal and readily responded to our requests for information. [...] A few mills to the south of Calcutta emplcly Bengali labour ; but to the north of the city in most of the mills the proportion of Bengalis is small and there are large townships of immigrants. [...] The duration of the holiday is usually limited only by the money available ; more rarely it is determined by the necessity of complying with the instructions of the employer in the city. [...] It is rather the rduction under economic necessity of valuable elements of diet and it accentuates the effect of the change from the wide fields and fresh air of the village to the cramped and often insanitary streets and lanes of the town. [...] The yillage is an infinitely better place than the city for the young and the aged the sick the maimed and the exhausted the unemployed and the unemployable.
