Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

10 October 1945

We are planning to search the workmen as they leave the Press premises. I have the impression that you consider this desirable.

I quite agree to the necessity of this measure. But two points need to be settled:

1) I would rather if the measure is general and not only for those earning below Rs. 30 a month. A general measure is less offensive for everybody and the only secure one, for obvious reasons.

2) Who will do the work of searching? The present gatekeepers are too busy taking materials, etc. to attend to that.

You might speak to C about this. I have explained to him in detail what I mean.
