[...] The composition powers and prcedure of the above authorities as well as the conditions governing the legality of strikes and lockouts and the penalties for the violation of their observance arc roughly the same as those embodied in the Act of the Central Government. [...] The source of conflict between the two elements in the modern productive organisation is either the inadequacy of the insttution itself or the inadequacy of acceptance of the main tenets of the intitution.
