Bombay Textile Labour: Managers, Trade Unionists and Officials 1918-1939, DICK KOOIMAN, 1989, Rs 100 Managers, trade unionists and labour officers had become fierce rivals for gaining control over the Bombay cotton mill workers. But none of them succeeded in establishing real control over the workers. The workers could not be confined within formal regulations and the jobbers, through whom the labour had been recruited, were not easily dislodged from their entrenched position in the industry. The book traces that history, exploring labour recruitment, trade union organization and government intervention. 3. Arrested Development in India, CLIVE J.
