135. The average monthly earnings of different types of clerks 
ymployed in mill departments and offices attached to mills are shown 
for Bombay and Ahmedabad respectively in a table in Appendix D. 
Similar figures are not available for Sholapur because neither of the two 
mills included in the Enquiry at that centre supplied any information 
with regard to clerks. - No figures have been worked out for daily 
average earnings and average monthly earnings of full time workers, 
because all clerks are paid on a monthly basis without any deductions 
for absent davs.
