'

2. In order to appreciate the points involved, it is necessary to start with the history of the Mines and the work which has been going on in the mine in question. The history of this mine is given in the award of 1947 which is re- produced below:

"Copper ores mined at and near Mosaboru are partly crushed there and are transported by aerial ropeway to Moubhandar about six miles away where they are smelted and refined in a Factory. Zinc la Imported from Australia and yellow metal is manufactured at Itio Factory by mixing the refined copper with the zinc. Both th" Mines and the Factory belong to the Indian Copper Corporation Limited which was registered in London in the year 1924. Pro- duotion began in 1929 and in 1980 the rolling mill for the jyroduc- tion of the brass sheets was completed. Moubhandar is situated on the north bank of the Subarnrekha river, alongside the B. N. Railway near Ghatsila station about six miles from the mineB. Since production began in 1929 and up to the 81st December 1945, 5,061,^53 short tons of dry ore were milled of an average grade of 2>214 per cent, copper, from which 98,889 long tons of re- fined copper were produced, with an average overall recovery from ore to refined copper of 98-9 per cent. The Corporation's mines are the only ones where copper ores are extracted in India. Most of the refined copper is utilised at the Factory for manufacture of brass sheets while a small portion is placed on the market. From 1940 to 1945 the output of the various rolled products was the highest in 1942 when the figure of 10,686 was reached. In 1946 the output stood at 7,875 tons.

In 1988 a Conciliation Board of which the Hon'ble Justioe Sir Fazl Ali (the present permanent Chief Justice of the Patna High Court) was the member was appointed fpr the purpose of effecting a settlement in regard to wages and other matters- In the year 1944 Eai Bahadur Bhubneshwari Prasad P&ndey waj appointed an Adjudioator in connection with disputes between the Indian Copper Corporation Limited and its employees at the mines a&d at the Factory. The hearing of the disputes occupied aboufl three weeks and his awards in both the cases were prepared and signed by him on the 29th May 19*4."

8. The usual notioes were served on the parties on the 4th July 1949. The Union filed its statement of claim on the 23rd JVy 1049 and the management submitted its reply /to the Union's statement on'fith August 1949. The'hearing of the case was taken up at Moubhandur on 17th August 1949 " Witnesses wore examined. Some documents weic acoopted as exhibits on behalf of the parties.

ISSUE N O. 1

Enhancement of dearness allowance (with food rebate) with retrospective effect

from March 1948, and -payment of dearness allowance during sinlcrCess.

4. This matter came up for consideration in the 1947 adjudication and also in Reference No. 8 of 1049 of this Tribunal. The deamess allowance in the 1947 adjudication "was brought in line with the amount paid fit Tatas. But the food rehate was slightly different. The food rebate was introduced by this concern and it was at the rate of Rs. 5-4-3 for married people and Its 3-3-0 for unmarried people. This according to the management was agreed to by the pauties in 1048 when Tatas were paying tit the rate oC Rf. 10 to the married people. In Tatas they have raised it from Es 10 to KB 13 in the case of mar- ried people. That is to say n rise of 30 per cent, but (he same percentage can- not be allowed in the case of every concern. I would Iheielore raise ihe food rebate by about 25 per cent, in the case of Moiaboui mines. I would therefore* bring the food rebnte in line with the Moubhandnr Factory and make it Ha. 6-8-0 in the case of married peoplo and Rt. 4-0-0 in the case of unmarried people, I do not propose to chnncc ihe clearness allowance.

In the csiHC of people going on sick leave I Ihink deurnefis allowance should be paid according to the rules on whieh the leave is grouted. Whfe on sick leave when the workmen nre entitled for full nmonnt of pay they should get full dearness allowimce. If thev are entitled to ha1! pay duiing sickness they will get half dearness allow nnce. If thev arc not entitled to any pay at all dur- ing sickness, they will get no dearness allowance or food rebate.

JSSUK No. 2

Supply nf essential foodstuffs at concessional rates

5. The parties said that this issue is redundant nnd therefore no award ia called for on this issue.

ISSUE NO. 3

Compensatory Allowance

8. This issue has also been found redundant and therefore no special award is necessary.

ISSUE NO. 4

Attendance bonus to all in receipt of a bario wage up to Rs. 150/ per month.

Part time regular -underground ivorhers (both monthly and daily rated) to

be tre-ated as full time workers for purposes of attendance bonus.

' 7. Thc-re was an Ofljudiraiion m 1947 on this point also and the Government interpreted that award and reduced to one day's wages for ordinary workers and Rs. 2 for mistries and Sardars allowing half a day's wages to be paid as attendance bomtiB, to all workers in a month allowing 2 days absence. At ono time the aitendfiHfle bomis w^s Rs. 0 per month. In the present system attendance bonus is given to underground workers in the mines but not Co sur- face workers, and the reference to the Rs. 6 per month as attendance bonus

THE GAZETTE OF INDii.," EXTRAORDINARY, NOV. 10, 1949. '2228P

with an absence of three days per month, has no1!; been enforced for the last 18 years. After considering the argument of both the parties and looking afc EX.4(a) which was filed on behalf of the management, I see no reason to inter- fere with the present arrangement.

ISSUE NO. 6

Production bonus scheme to be introduced. Those not entitled to production

bonus to be given maintenance bonixi

8. The demand of the Union is that keeping 20,000 tons as the basin production, a scheme of granting 5 per cent of one's pay for 'increasing each 1000 tons in a month should be introduced'. Those who are not directly connected with the raising of ores, but help in tho work, by maintaining the machineries and other auxiliary implements should also be entitled for ther bonus at the rates cited abo\e. The company i& not willing to introduce thi&. They are also against the suggestion oi introducing maintenance bonus. This matter came for consideration before the 1947 adjudicator and it was dealt with under question 9 of that award and certain conclusions were arrived at. Nothing has been shown to me in tho courbe of argument which calls for a revision of the present state ot affairs.

ISSUE No. 6

Hoisting Bonus

9. It was urged that bis matter should be linked up with the production bonus. The rate of homtrng bonus prevailing at present is Bs. 5 at the mom Hoist at Moeaboni and Us. ,T for Dhobani and Budia hoists. The management on tho other hand says thai this hoisting bonus was introduced under very special circumstances. Originally it was given at Mosaboni but now that production hah started at Phobani and Badia Mines also it is not necessary to give any production bonus nt Mosaboni but they have maintained it when, once started. In any case the company does not want to increase the hoisting bonus. No bpeeial reasons have been shown to mo in the course of the argu- ment as to why the hoisting bonus should be increased trom what it is- prevailing at present.

ISSUE NO, 7

Special bonus and privilegex for underground workerx and electricians etc.,

working in the vertical shaft

10. The case of tho Union i^ that the water aL the bottom of the shaft of the vertical shaft is so bod that jt ^ets into the eves and various eye diseases occur and therefore a- special e\e weai (goggles) bhould bo provided for those working there. They further demand that instead of bamboo and leather helmets steel helmets should be provided and that electricians and hclpera who are required to work on new vertical shaft should also be paid equal special bonus that is paid to the other workers of the shaft because they M© equally affected in tho shaft line. The management on the other hand doea not admit that the water causes eye disease and submit that goggles would only be a nuisance, Those men who work on the shaft bottom (muckers etc.) get a bonus of As. 4 per shift which is a very reasonable amount, and the company is not prepared to raise the amount. Tho electricians etc. only wort" on the bottom of the shaft occasionally to examine connections. Shri Sei*

t23M THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, EXTBAORDINABY, NOV. 10, 1949.

further points out that drillers are also getting a bonus. There iB a hoisting bonus available to engine drivers etc I called for a sample of bamboo, leather and steel helmets. No doubt the steel helmets would be a more effective- protection but the bamboo and leather helmets are good enough- The oom- paoy may replace bamboo and leather helmets with steal helmets when the former wear out. In the abseiii;© of any positive proof that the water in the shaft causes eye dise&so, I think that the bonus that they are getting at present ip adequate. No oas© for electricians etc. has been made out.

In the course of the argument the Union demanded a special muck boniia. I was curious to know as to, what it means. The Union explained th,ati mucking means cleaning the rook that is broken by blasting. No award ia called for for this bonus either.-

ISSUE NO. 8

"Hot Bonus" for foundry workers and zoor/cers in the Blacksmith Shop and

Jumper Shop and supply of free toe and soda to them

11. The Union demands Hot Bonus for Foundry workers and workers in tho Black-smith Shop and Jumper Shop. They also demand supply of ice and soda $o them. The company on the other hand denied that any hot bonus is called for. In the course of tlie argument it was stated that the management supply cold water to these workmen and ioe boxes are going to be introduced. I think this is a stop in the right direction and the sooner it is introduced the better. No case for free supply of soda has been made out. The question of supplying soda water wa& raised before the previous adjudication but it was not granted. The bonus that they are getting under this heading acoording to the 1947 award need not be changed.

ISSUE NO. 0

Profit Sharing Bonus

12. This matter was dealt with in question 12 at page 27 of the 1947 award. The company's profit sharing scheme has been reproduced and the bonus is payable when the dividend is 2| per cent ne"i.

"If dividend exceeds 2£ per cent but docs not exceed 7| per cent-—one week's wages.

It dividend exceeds 7J per cent but does not exceed 12J per cent—two weeks' wages.

If the dividend exceeds J2J per cent but does not exceed 17$ per c e n t- three weeks' wages.

If tho dividends rise highor, bonuses will increase according to this scale." The learned adjudicator however recommended that one week's wages which was being paid as a matter of favour should be made a part of the scheme in cases in which bonuses are paid. The Union however olaims thafi instead of bonus being linked with the dividend it should be linked to the net profits ap.d demand 22 J per cent of tho net profits arrived at after making neces. aary reductions for depreciation etc. In the present case no special argument has been advanced as to why the present profit sharing bonus soheme should bo altered. The present system, should continue.

THE

ISSUE No. 10

AU workers including part-time regular underground workers with tye prescribed

minimum service should be granted gratuity at the rate of one month's

wages for each year's service.

18. Under this heading the Union demands one month's wages for every ' year of. service rendered. They also want that the privilege should be extended even to the part-time regular underground workers. The system of gratuity was introduced for thefirs"btime by the award of 1047 and it was aa follows:

"I therefore recommend that 15 days' wages shall be paid as gratuity to all1 employees for every year of service rendered after the Slat, December 1946, provided that they remain in the service of the. Company for a minimum period of 15 years. In the case oi those who have been in service from before the lBt January 1947, one week's wages sli ill be paid after every year of Bervica rendered before the 1st January 1947. The Company has not) created any fund for payment of gratuity to those who have been in service from before tht) year 1947. At Mosaboni there are about 462 labourers who have completed about 15 years' service and at Maubhandar the number of such labourers is about 120. As payment of gratuity was not a condition of the service of the old employees and us the Company has no reserve fund on which, it can fall back, I consider that in fairness to both the parties only one week's wages for every year of service rendered k" previous years should be granted as gratuity."

No case for raising the amount of gratuity to one month's wages has been made out. But in view of the fact that now that the company has got Reserve Fund, tho anomaly between the rates before and after 81st December 1946 should be modified. I have passed my orders about gratuity in- Moubhandar Factory award as follows:

"I would therefore allow 15 days wages to workmen as gratuity who have put in 15 years of service at the time of retirement. Of course the eases of those workmen who have already retired and drawn their gratuity according to tho 1947 adjudication should not be re-opcr\ed."

In the present case, also I give my award in the above tex-nih.

ISHUE No. 11

Revised wage structure lo bo worked oul for all including the clerical staff,

Assistant samplers and underground cluckem and provision io be made for

a joint rates committee to deal with anomalies arising out of the application

of the revised wage rates.

14. This is one of the most important issucy in this dispute. It appears that when the adjudication of 1947 v\as going on, both the parties agreed that the management should discuss the question of grade system and increase in Salary with trade Union and both the parties were to produce tho agreed list to the Adjudicator. The management did intioduce a new scale which was not ticoopted by the Union. 1 per-Honsilh feel hat m a dispute of this nature the best results that can bo obtained is bv WHV of agreement only. But if I leave this matter as it was done in the caso of the lust adjudication to the management and the Union, I am afraid they would never come to terms. Therefore I hnve to give a scale according to tho circumstances of the present

3226 T&B GAZETTE OF INDIA, EXTBAORDINARY,'NOV. 10, 1949.

case. .[ am aware that, thin copper mine of Mosaboni is in a class by itself. It does not sell its crude products to outsiders except a portion of it. The jyoduct is sent to the factory at Moubhandar for preparing sheets. At the same time we ha,ve to remember that the wages in this mine cannot bo fixed as is fixed in the coal mines. There are differences between these two types of mines. In tho Jharia coalfields although the minimum basic wage .may be comparatively lower than what it is in Moaaboni mine, we have-to ramember that they get. clearness allowance to the extent of 150 per cent, of theiu basio pay, free accommodation and the bonus that they get is at times up tQ: four months' pay iu a year. Here I havo already dealt with the question of clear- ness allowance and it can bo safely sftid that it is nob on a par with the dear- ness allowance in the coalfields. Considering the present rise in the price of foodstuffs and living conditions, I think that some increment is called for. I am not ignoring the great strcBs that was laid by Shri Son and Mr. Dempster on the present financial strain which the Indian Copper Corporation Limited was passing through. Payment of any amount more than what is being paid is bound to be felt by every employer. Tnking all these points into considera- tion I think that the basic minimum wage should be raised in the cane of males from As. 10 to As. 12 nnd in the case of female workers from As. 9 to As- 11 rising to the mnxiinum of As. 15 and As. 14 respectively.

With regard to the clerks I would give them the same pny as they have been givon in Moubhandar fuctory. In the case of Junior Clerks it will be Us. 65—2—05—4—105 nnd in the case of Senior Clerks Es. 115—10—155. I am not accepting that there should be n grade for head clerks. Now that the basic minimum haa been raised some adjustment iu the wages of the other workmen also should be made. I would therefore allow a sliding scale of in- crement of 20 per cent, in the case of workers getting up to Ee. 1/-, 15 per cent, in the ense of workers drawing from Ee. 1/1/- to Es. 2 and above that 10 per cent. These are in respect of daily rated workers. In the case of the adjustment it should be seen that people who are actually getting more should not be given less but that excess shou'd be considered at the time of next in- crement,

In the light of these observation'? I have prepared the scale of wages which is to be found in Appendix ' B\ Two lists were tfiven by the parties—one in Appendix 'B' of the Union's statement and the other in a note supplied on behalf of the management by Shri Sen. At places there are differences between these lists. I prepared my list after comparing these two lists of the partieB- If there is any omission it should be dealt with iu the light of the observations made above.

The other monthly rated staff which nre not mentioned in the Appendix 'B' of this award should be dealt with in accordance with the principle laid down in Moubhandar Factory award (Eeference No. 8 of 1949 of this Tribunal),

ISSUE NO. 12

Wages for periods of shut down and involuntary unemployment

15. The Union says that in the case of a wage earner who does not himself absont from work, the employer cannot refuse to pay him for shut down. Therefore the employer should pay him during the period of shut down or involuntary unemployment. This matter came up for consideration before the 1947, adjudication under Question 18 of thafs award which is reproduced below:

"As regards shut down due to failure of plant, shortage of fuel, etc., it ia agreed that the war practice of paying 75 per cent, of wages for the first two weeks and 50 per cent, for the subsequent periods shall be continued.''

THE GAZETTE OP INDIA, EXTRAORDINAKY, NOV. 10, 1940. 242*

Mr. Dempster however says that this observation needed clarification and he has actually written on this point to the appropriate Government vice Ex. 12(a). As it was an agreed formula evidently the Tribunal of 1947 did not go into the details. But it refers to the war time practice. The war time practice is to be found in the correspondence which I am attaching as Appendix 'A". This has been followed, in the Jute Tribunal of West Bengal as well aa th& Assam Oil Company, Di^boi, dispute. So the limitations there are ^learfy mentioned and my award on this point will be that the management flhould follow the award of 1947 with this clarification in the light of Appendix, 'A'. (attached.) Of course, this position will arise when no alternative employ- ment is found for the worker.

ISSUE NO. 13

Payment of wages for the day* lost on account of lightning strikes that took

place in March and April 1949.

IB. Tt appear thai there wa=t n breakdown on the night of the 20 March 1949 The workers who came to duty on the 21st March were asked to give their attendance and directed to go back. They claim full payment for that day. But the management has already paid 3/4th day's wages for the day. in view of whnt I have said on IPPU,1 NO 12 1 do not think that SUTV further payment is called for. The Union originally claimed payment for 22nd Inarch as well aR 12/18 April 1940. But these items were not, pressed. With regard to 19th April 1940 they say that on account of the general strike at Moubhan- dnr "Factory the management stopped work sit Mosaboni mines, leaving essen- tial services and giving less than 24 hours notice. The Union sayg that MQHB- boni could have carried on the work with the partial power available. T^he electricity used at Mosaboni is generated at Moubhandar. When the supply of eleotricity was curtailed the management must have felt helpless in carrying on the work at the Mosaboni mines, I do not think the case for payment of full wages for the 19th April is justified.

ISSUE NO. 14

Payment of overtime to all workers, underground or surface, at double the

Vtiu.nl rati' in addition to free mral

17. The demand for free meals seem<" to bo unuwnl. But for overtime they are certainlv entitled to some extra payment. The demand of the Union that it should be paid double the rate of ordinary payment is excessive. T think the practice prevalent in other mines should be followed, wht to in accordance with thf* Joihi Agreement- 150 per cent of the basic pay is pmd for overtime work. This should be paid here also. In this award I allow them 150 per cent, for overtime work but no mewls. Caution should be exercised and it is up to the JJnion t© see that the workers do not go slow simply for the purpose of getting overtime payment.

ISSUE NO. 15

Full compensation for those who are rendered medically unfit for further "er-

vice in the course of their employment.

18. ThiM item is covered bv Section* 3 and 4 of the Workmen's Compensa, won Aot 1928 and therefore no aw^ri is necessary.

•ffl*8 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, EXTEAOEDINAEY, NOV. 10, 1940.

I8SUB NO. 16

Full compensation for period of suspension

US. The Union wants that if a person is suspended and later on he is exoner- ated from the charge for which he was suspended he should get full pay. If ho- U not exonerated he will not get any pay. There was further prayer that they should get subsistence allowanoe during the period of suspension. To this th" oomp&ny objects. No case for subsistence allowance was made out for tho period of suspension. But if a Worker is exonerated from the charge for which lie was suspended he is entitled to his pay and I would give the award acoord- ingly. He will get full pay if the suspension is erroneous. The service rule& are to be found in Eules 9 and 10 of the Standing Orders.

ISSUE NO. 1^

All mine surface checkers and explosive checkers to be deemed to be olerhs.

20. The claim of tbe Union is that surface checkers and explosive checkers We carrying out the work of the clerks and therefore they should bo paid the- aame wages as the clerks. The Union further state that the surface checker* maintain the registers of workmen working underground, and also check up men leaving mine before time. They also help the time keepers in various ways. They check the explosives and there are three such checkers in Mosa- boni and two checkers in J)hubani and Badia. At present they get Be 1-2-0 to Re- 1-4-0 per diem. The management on the other hand point out that these people are at the surface from the afternoon and the degree of education re- quired for such persons is not very high. They are registered according to Sec- tion 28 of the Indian Mines Act, as surface checkers and explosive checkers. I db not know how these people can be treated as clerks as demanded by the Union. Prom the nature of the work it does not appear that thev oan be put in the category of clerks.

ISSUE NO. 18

Pay and other conditions of service of office boys, ncpoys etc.

21. The Union claims that the pay of the office boys shou'd be raised to Bs. 30 a month and that of sepoys acrole oi pny should be from Rs. 30 to Es. 50. They should gtib uniform, overtime pay, and leavo with pay for a month in a year instead of 15 days as at present allowed. So far us I he ques- tion of pay is concerned it how been dealt with under Is^ne No. 11 ot this award. Their case will be governed by this Tiibunal's findings there. The company flay that the unifonns were supplied to them but if (here ha\e been any ins- tances of failure to supply they must have been under unfoieseon circums- tances. I think there is, no foree in the complaint of the Union So fur as the question of leave is concerned they do not come under the clerieiil staff, and therefore the grant of leavo should he the same as for the workmen of the cate- gory in which they aro placed. As a matter of fact in the course of argument Mr. John argued that they should be heated as unskilled inniumi workers,

ISSOK No. 19

Consideration of certain Industrial nases of inadequacy of remuneration, super-

nession. withholding uf ineTe*n?n£91 promotion eta.

22. Although no loss than 37 instances have been mentioned in the memo- randum of tho Union, only tv few casos were pressed before the Tribunal. I shall fake tip the cases in the order in which they were placed by the Union.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, EXTBAOEDINABY, NOV. 10, 1949., "22"

H. K. DUBS : His case is that ho should have been made a time-keeper ins- tead of one Mr. Pan. It appears that Dan was originally employed in the year 1928 but in 1931 he left service on account of si6kness. But he was again re- cmployed in the same year. In 1935 he became a head time-keeper of the Engineering Department. H. K. Dass was taken, as a surface checker in 1947. He is not a time-keeper. He may be promoted to the post of a time-keeper. At present ho ia a time-keeper from March 1940 in the underground department. So it appears that Dan is senior to H. K. Dass. Moreover, in 1947 Dan was getting KB. 85 whereas Das was getting only B&. 60. It cannot be said that the appointment of Dan is a case of supersession and therefore the awa^d in thig case is against the Union.

Then there is a complaint that 5 shift bosses have been superseded by one Melony. It appears that Melony is being trained for a covenanted posit and at present he is being trained as a shift boss- There is no substance in thiB complaint.

It is said that Pisharody has been superseded by Melony but it appears that Pisharody is not fully qualified for the post. He is acquainted only with blaBt- ing. Pisharody was appointed in 15)34 but ho was arrested in 1942 and therefore discharged. Later in 1947 he was-, again appointed on a pay of Rs. 85- In my view, in these circumstances it cannot be said that the case of Pisharody is one of victimisation as suggesied by the Union and as a result of that Melony was put above him.

Oaffur Khan: This workman according to the management is not qualified for any other post except Shifb Boss Helper. Therefore hie present status can- not be charged.

ChinnapTia: It' is said that he should get promotion. His case is very much like that of Bakshing Lama. Ho has been made a shift hoss in 1047 and was an assistant shift boss before and in course of time he is likely to get his promo- tion. A\(J present [ do not feel inclined to interfere with the arrangement.

Sk, Bafijuddin: He was made Vssistant Shift Boss on the night shift in April 1948. In course of time he is likely to get his promotion if he performs his duties adequately. No special order is called for in his case either.

K. L. Ghosh; It is bnirt that this workman has been serving the company for a long time, aa a Head Hock Drill Fitter. He should bo promoted to a Head Mechanic. Et is very curious that although ho is working from 1027 this matter was not taken up before the 1947 adjudication. 1 am not prepared to interfere with the present arrangement in connection with K. L. Ghosh.

-B. N. DCJI : 1\ appears that he was suspended for not carrying out certain orders and the Union says that Ihi^ suspenKion o)der should be cancelled. Now it appears that in case of shortage Hi is the usual practice for the time-checkers- or clerks to relieve ia caso of necessity. The management ib noi prepared to oanoel the orders of suspension or the final warning. This ip a matter of internal management and looking at Ex. 19(1) it is evident that hit* duty hours are from 4 p. m. to 10-30 p. m. as an exp'osrve cheiki-i and not merely as a surface checker. It is not a case which calls for interference

Chant of festival leave

24. Three days festival leave according to the Union was given to all em- ployees from 1939. But from 1948 some types of workers like mine time keeper, hospital staff, mine office olerks ar© not being given this benefit. The Union want that this privilege of festival leave previously enjoyed should be extended to them also from now. The manngement on tho other hand suggest that if the workmen start taking leave on tho special drays it would mean shutting down. Thoy were allowed to arrange among themselves. It must also be recognised that at uhe hospital all the staff cannot be spared on the same day. It is true that the class of people mentioned in the Union's state- ment are important persons so far as the working of the mine and some of the other departments are concerned. But still they should not be deprived of fes- tival leave. Some arrangement should be made by which they might enjoy the festival leave if not on the actual da\s of festivals but at least some other time when they want ito enjoy it. J will only recommend that the manage- ment should see that these workers should not be deprived of the leave that is •being given to the other workers.

ISSUE NO. 22

Employees' quarters should conform to a hin'ier and generally accepted

utandard

25. The management point) out that RO far as the nature of the type of rquarters are concerned Mr. John at the time of 1947 adjudication found they were quito suitable.

It seems from tho statement of the management that they have provided houses of approved 'type but as there is a complaint from the Union I would recommend that the building of more houses on approved types should be ex- pedited.

ISSUE NO. 23

Sweepers' Quarters and Pay

26. In this connection the Union suys that the 1947 award suggested for re- modelling the sweepers' quarters and thoae suggestions were not carried out. These should be done without delay. The management on the other hand says that the suggestions in that award had been carried out and tho quarters of the sweepers have been provided with a small vernndiih, etc, No rent is charged from the sweepers. 1 think attempts should be made for providing quarters ior all sweepers who are without any quarters.

Ho far as Ihe question of pay is concerned it will be covered by Issue No. 11 of this award.

Provision of adequate educational facilities and a training school for

Apprentices. 2T. The Union suggests perhaps rightly that it is the duty of the employers that the employees' children should get proper educationaJ facilities. They want fhat the school should be elevated to the status of a high school and that arrangement should be made for the training of apprentices. The company re- plies that they have got no arrangements for training apprentices nor is there

Provision of safety equipments, uniforms etc. to workers

29. The prayer of the Union is that all underground workers should get carbide lumps, boots, and a miner's hat. fice of cost Uniform should also be supplied to the undergiound workers as it is dono in the Kolar Gold Fields. The carpenters should be supplied v,ith tools by the management and electric and gas welders should be given gobies aproiu, etc. Mr. Sen on the other hand argued that thcsn things nio "supplied as jequired by law, and for underground vvoikors no uniform is required. Mr. Dass for the Union admitted that goggles are supplied but ho said that in addition to lens, sheet goggles should be sup- plied The company supplies lamps at a special rate and buys them back •when the underground workers leave the company's service ensuring thereby that their lamps arc proper y looked after Hats are also supplied to workers in the vertical shaft and are not lequiied at other places in a flatly dipping mine like the one at Mosnboni No siress was laid on the question of supply- ing tools to the carpenters by (he management T think that tho saffity equip- ments are adequately provided but would recommend that in case of shortage prompt action should be taken.

Camp Water Supply to be improved

36 This matter was dealt with under Question 21 of the 1947 award. I find an observation there that it was agreed th.it the Works Committee would mention how many hydrants were needed and where thev should be fixed aM the company had ' undertaken to accommodate the labourers in this W *^ Mr "Banerji, Labour Officer, says that by now pumps have been ms+alled^ncn are capable of supplying 80,000 gallons of water per day, and that 100 taps have

b^on put up BO that there way be one tap for every 4 houses. If in spite of all 4jie&e improvements the water supply is found to be inadequate the Works Oom- raittee should approach the management and see that the improvements are in- troduced. As it is, it seems that the 1947 award has been sufficiently imple- xnented.

-Bullock carts if not motor trucks should be used to remove the nighisoil instead

of hand carts as at present.

31. The Union says that the management in spite of the award of the 1947] adjudication has not done much towards this item. They have engaged only one Ibullock cart for this purpose, and they should be ordered to take immediate steps towards this direction. Shri Sen on the other hand informs me that one bullock1 • cart is already at work. Another bullock cart is being repaired. I think the management will do well to see thar sufficient number of bullock carts are •provided in order to remove the nightsoil, in the interest of sanitatiem. The •sooner the improvements are introduced the boUer.

laauji No. 29

Reinstatement of certain discharged worker's

92. 19 cases were mentioned in the Union's statement but only a few of "them were placed before the tribunal. Those are the eases of • (1) Jaganath (Tea Boy), (2) 8k. Jalaluddin (Blaster), (3) Sk. Khalil, (4) Kunja, (5) Kalindi, •{6) Ghandramohan, and (7) Srinivas Eolith.

(1) Jaganath: It appears that he was declared medically unfit but later on lie was appointed again and worked for 4 or 5 days. Then he was declared unfit again and was discharged. From Bx.29(l) it traiispiros that he was suffering from chronic sepsis and was declared unfit to work underground. Ex.29(a) gives the history of his case. A compassionate grant was granted for him and also the price of the railway ticket. Therefore it is not a case in which interference is called for,

(2) Sk, Jalaluddin: lie went on 15 days' leave ou 20th April and returned •only on 8th June. It is said that he sent a telegram on 10th and 22nd May requesting extension of his leave. But that was not grunted and lie was dis- missed. Jalaluddin Rays that his mother died. His service card is Ex.29(b) and it appears from it that he was in the habit of over-staying his leave and in the present instance in which he has been dismissed, his statement was not •supported with enough materials to hold that his statement was true. Under the circumstances his reinstatement cannot ba ordered.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA, EXTBAOSDINABY, NOV. 10, 194©. 2233

have seen the relevant vouchers and I think that this case should not ha*e been brought before this Tribunal for reinstatement.

(6) Chandramohm: He was working in ^he hospital in his original ppst- a" that of a Sanitary Coolie but he acted as Ward Boy and i]>esser Assistant for some time. From his service card Ex.29(b) it appears that he was discharged lor wilful insubordination, disobedience and negligence of the superior's orders and •over-staying leave after 21 clays. I have gono through the correspondence that lias passed between the management and the Union with regard to this work- man's case but I do not think that it is a fit case for interference by this Tribunal.

(7) Srinivaa Routh: He was a Plat Sirdar and according to the Union ope of the charges was that he used to put the time ahead so that people may come up earlier. TTIH conduct was found unsatisfactory by the management and they were quite justified in not confirming him, He was merely working as a probationer.

These are nil the cases placed before the Tribunal for reinstatement.

ISSUE NO. 80

Grant of Loans from Provident Fund and Supply to Members of quarterly staie-

mentB of individual accounts.

88 I have already dealt with this matter in connection with the Moubhandar Factory dispute (Keferenoe No. 3 of 1DJ0 of this Tribunal). My orders in that caee were:

"The prayer of the Union as indicated in the issue in of an unusual type. Loan from the Provident Fund of their own contribution '"without levying any interest" will not bo workable. This position was given np by the Union's re- presentative at the time of argument. Hut tome rule should be introduced in •the Provident Fund rules by which in oases of emergency a contributor should be entitled to borrow up to a certain limit trnd to repay in a certain number of instalments and pay reasonable interest on the same The sooner this rule is introduced the better." I think the same order should be passed in this case.

So far as the quarterly returns are concerned I think it is not called for.

The present method of supplying of nimual statements is quite adequate.

ISSUE NO. 31

Earnings, deductions and net wages to he ihown on pay vouchers

34. The Union wants that the pav vouchers should show not only the net amount due to a worker but also earnings, deductions, etc., because the absence of these details raises suspicion in the minds of the workers. The company on •the other hand says that it will increase the amount of work of the clerical staff. But the company is prepared to give the information whenever the worker requires it. The present system may continue with the proviso that the com- pany should give information when asked for by a particular worker.

ISSUE NO. 32

Irregularities in the implementation of the 1947 award

85. This issue has been divided by the Union into five different heads.

(a) With regard to the discrepancy about the starting pay of the unskilled

This matter has not been pressed.

87. This is an issue which was not rained before the 194.7 Tribunal and it is doubtful whether it is an industrial dispute. If for certain reasons and charges thej wero declared unfit I do not see any reason why they should be declared fit now. 1 am afraid the award cannot be given as asked for.

39. Another issue not in the schedule was that facilities for making collec- tions at the pay counter should be allowed to the Union. I have dealt with this matter in the Moubhandar Fadtory award refusing permission to collect Union subscription at the company's pay counter as this will lead to difficulties. Here also my award is on the same linos.

Now, therefore, the Tribunal makes its uward in terms aforesaid.

2. The iGovernment of India feel tb"t while it is not possible to propound a fully co-o^mated scheme in this respect which cqn be statutorily imposed, it is advisable that they should formulate certain principles which jnav smt'iblv be considered by Provincial Governments and employers when QC ^ i on arises.
