J Datta: if the inclusive part were to stand independently, the mens would serve no purpose. what is the definition of industrial dispute? The dispute is between employer-employer, employer-workmen, and workmen-workmen.

So if there is a dispute between E-E, it is only the means part which has to be considered and not the inclusive part. There is a basic fallacy in your submission, if we give wider meaning to the means part, the inclusive part becomes redundant.
