* For reasons already given, the Ahmedabad figure represents 27 times the daily
earnings. For Sholapur the month = 26-7 days.
127. Tt will be noticed that although there is a variation of 8 gies in
the average daily earnings of male and female Doffers in Bombay with
the advantage in favour of the men, the average monthly earnings of
men and women tend to approximate. This is again due to the better
attendance figures put in by female Doflers, the average number of
days worked by them being 25-7 as against 247 days worked by men.
No women are employed as Doffers in Sholapnr.
FREQUENCY OF EARNINGS
(1) Bombay
128. Tables for frequencies of earnings for all the operatives in the
nineteen mills selected for the Enquiry from Bombay have been compiled
on the basis of net monthly earnings by Departments separately for male
and female operatives and for all adult operatives. Table No. XIII
(pages 112 to 115) gives the frequency of monthly earnings for men,
Table No. XIV (pages 116 and 117) for women and Table No. XV
(pages 118 to 121) for men and women together. The limits of earnings
have been fixed in such a manner as to indicate the position of greatest
density without any application of troublesome processes of grouping and
calculations based on intricate formulee.* The lowest limit in the range
for Bombay is ¢ below Rs. 10.” The progression is by one rupee stages
to Rs. 14 and then by two-rupee stages to Rs. 50, five-rupee intervals to
Rs. 100 and ten rupee intervals to Rs. 150 with ¢ over Rs. 150 * as the
last item in the range. If the position of greatest density lies in a group
within narrow limits, say Rs. 24 to Rs. 26 it is not necessary to apply the
* The formula is applied after the most common group has been ascertained by a
nrocess of grouping. The formula for ascertaining the statistically correct mode is.—
