(i) As the news of employment spread, workers traveled great distances in the hope of work in the mills. For instance, from the United Provinces, they went to work in the textile mills of Bombay and in the jute mills of Calcutta.
(ii) Getting job was always difficult, even when mills multiplied and the demand for the workers increased. The numbers seeking work were always more than the job available.
(iii) Entry into the mills was also restricted. The actual possibility of getting a job depended on existing networks of friendship and personal relations.
(iv) Industrialists employed jobbers to get new recruits. Very often the jobber was an old and trusted worker. He got people from his village, ensured them a job, helped them settle in the city and provided them with money in times of crisis.
(v) The jobber became a person with some authority and power. He began demanding money and gift for his favor and controlling the lives of workers.
