Sir, I think one of my friends on the opposite side pointed out that this organisation has been embarking upon fresh fields and new areas which should have been conveniently left in the hands of the private people. May I draw his attention to the fact that with all this huge performance that it has to its credit, the organisation has been able to control less than 31 percent of the trade and commerce in the country? It has got on its list of trade only 43 items among countless items which are left for the private enterprise. My complaint is not that the organisation is taking up new fields and new areas and is encroaching upon the domain of the private people and industrialists but that it has not been able to go sufficiently far so that it might play a very vital, significant and far-reaching part in building up the trade and commerce of this country. Sir, the report gives evidence of the fact that the organisation has been able to do certain good things which I really appreciate, good things which would otherwise have been neglected if they had been entrusted to private hands. For instance, the organisation has been able to utilize the neglected small ports. For instance, the organisation has been able to utilize the neglected small ports.

I rise to support the bill to amend the Indian trade unions act of 1926. The Act of 1926, was an enabling act which only provided for the registration of trade unions and for their immunity from civil liability. It is well known that before that act came into being, trade unions were held liable for the losses suffered by industry during a strike.
