Law for appointing Lady Supervisors in Mills :
That in many of the Mills it is observed that male Supervisors are appointed to supervise the work of the female workers. This in a number of places gives rise to most undesirable consequences.

The resolution carried unanimously.
The President Mrs. Dongre moved resolution No. 7 and 8 from the Chair.
