Voorkant
University of California Press, 1965 - 263 pagina's
Historical account of working conditions, hours of work and wages in the textile industry of India shows that such traditions as the caste social structure and rural areas ties have not inhibited rural migration to urban areas districts, or the recruitment of textile workers. Instability encouraged strikes and the creation of trade unions, and forced state regulations on labour administration. Statistical tables. Bibliography pp. 247-257.
