cerned, to suggest to the Management the possibility of
transfer of the woman to work more suited to her state of
health.
(c) _Night Supervision._--The Welfare Supervisor should have
a deputy for night work and should herself occasionally visit
the Factory at night to see that satisfactory conditions are
maintained.
(d) _Dismissal._--It will be in keeping with the general
suggestions as to the functions of the Welfare Supervisor
if she is consulted on general grounds with regard to the
dismissal of women and girls.
(e) _The maintenance of healthy conditions._--This implies
that she should, from the point of view of the health of the
female employees, see to the general cleanliness, ventilation
and warmth of the Factory and keep the Management informed of
the results of her observations.
(f) _The provision of seats._--She should study working
conditions so as to be able to bring to the notice of the
Management the necessity for the provision of seats where
these are possible.

Welfare Supervisor to manage the canteen. The Management will probably

Management in consultation with the Welfare Supervisor on the
following matters:--
(1) That the Canteen provides all the necessary facilities for
the women workers; that is to say, suitable food, rapidly and
punctually served.
(2) That Canteen facilities are provided when necessary for
the women before they begin work so that no one need start
work without having taken food.
(3) That the Canteen is as restful and as comfortable as
possible so that it serves a double purpose of providing rest
as well as food.
III. SUPERVISION OF AMBULANCE RESTROOM AND FIRST AID.
While not responsible for actually attending to accidents, except
in small Factories, the Welfare Supervisor should work in close
touch with the Factory Doctor and Nurses. She should, however, be
responsible for the following matters:--
(1) She should help in the selection of the Nurses, who should
be recognised as belonging to the Welfare staff.
(2) While not interfering with the Nurses in the professional
discharge of their duties, she should see that their work is
carried out promptly and that the workers are
