132. If the figures in the main tables are considered for all 
operatives in all departments it is found that the position of greatest 
density lies between 15 and 16 annas for men with the modal average at 
a little over 15 annas, between 10 and 11 annas with the modal average 
at about 10% annas for women and at the sare figures as for men in the 
case of all adult workers. 4,957 or nearly 40 per cent. of the total 
number of men returned earned more than Rs. 1-8-0 per day and only 
348 or about 12 per cent. of the total number of women returned earned 
more than a rupee a day. It is significant that no children were 
returned in Ahmedabad with earnings below four or more than eight 
annas per day. The modal group lies between annas five and annas six 
per day with 644 or 98:02 per cent. of the total number of children 
returned.

133. The frequency tables for Sholapur (Table No. XX for 
men, pages 142 to 145; Table No. XXI for women, pages 146 
and 147; Table No. XXII for all adult operatives, pages 148 
to 151; and Table No. XXIII for children, page 152) have been 
compiled on the same basis as those for Bombay, i.e., on monthly 
earnings. But whereas the lowest limit in the frequency range for 
Bombay was fixed at ¢‘ below Rs. 10 ”’, the lowest limit in the case of 
Sholapur has been fixed at ‘ below Rs. 7 7’ rising with one rupee intervals 
up to Rs. 10 and then progressing by two rupee intervals to Rs. 50. The 
progression after Rs. 50 is the same as that for Bombay. The following 
two tables show the modal groups for the more numerically important 
occupations for male and female operatives separately as in the 
previous tables in this section :—-
