88. With the exception of spinners whose average daily earnings 
mn the individual mills varied only within a limit of two annas between 
wnnas-14-6 and Rs. 1-0-3, the variations in the other occupations were 
within wider limits in Ahmedabad as compared with Bombay. The 
limit of variation in the case of weavers was eleven annas and nine pies, 
the actual range being Rs. 1-8-5 to Rs. 2-4-2. For warpers it was 
Rs. 1-6-3 with a range from Rs. 1-9-2 to Rs. 2-15-5. 
89. In Sholapur the average daily earnings of Siders and Weavers 
in one mill were Re. 0-11-1 and Rs. 1-9-2 as against Re. 0-12-7 and 
Rs. 1-10-1 in the other mill. Warpers and Grey Winders were only 
employed ia one mill, so no comparative figures are available for the 
other. Ope important factor in these variations in earnings is the 
different rates paid by different mills for the same class of work, a 
difference which the Indian Textile Tariff Board which sat in 1926 
suggested should be rectified by standardisation. (See Appendix B.)
