96. In Ahmedabad the production of Dhoties amounted to 47-97 
per cent. of the total production in Ahmedabad in 1926 as against 10-57 
per cent. in the case of Bombay. 
97. The last point which requires to be dealt with in considering the 
comparability of the figures as between Bombay and Ahmedabad is 
the average earnings of women workers. In Ahmedabad 680 out of 
3,016 female operatives returned or 22-5 per cent. worked as Siders and 
their average earnings amounted to Rs. 0-15-1 per day as against 
Rs. 0-15-2 per day for male siders which shows that women in this occu- 
pation received the same rates of wages as men. In Bombay only 636 
out of 12,072 women returned or 5-27 per cent. were employed as Siders, 
their average daily earnings amounting to Rs. 0-15-2 as against Rs, 1-0-3 
for men or about an anna in the rupee less. The averages for all women 
workers in Bombay are, moreover, also affected by the rotation of 
employment given to Winders and Reelers.
