Synopsis Original documents are of prime importance for understanding history; particularly of the trade union movement right from its incipient stages, when the British created a labour force long before it even thought of industrializing India. ICHR realizing the importance of providing scattered documents for scholars, set about to publish 22 volumes in the series Labour Movement in India – Documents with A.R. Desai as the General Editor. This volume is a part of 6 Volumes in the 1928-30 series, when the movement grew and gathered strength, with the advent of industrialization. The documents also indicate their significance in the freedom movement in India and how it became a part of the international labour movement.
