.t) Except for Paris (October, 1929) and Lyons (February, 1930). 
{r) Standard rates, fixed by agreements, or recognised by employers’ and workers’ organisations. In some cases the hourly rates given in the Table 
are calculated to the nearest farthing from the recognised weekly rates. In certain cases in which varying rates are recognised, the rates quoted represent the 
pun Xi these rates. The rates guoted for railway goods porters were subject, at 1st January, to a temporary reduction of 2} per cent., restored as from 
3 Ve. 
(d) Rates fixed by collective agreement for the highest age class. i 
(e) Actual earnings, based on both time work and piecework, of workers 25 to 40 years of age, including value of payments in kind, various money 
illowances, payments for holidays, and the workers’ social insurance contributions. 
(g) Table hands. 
(k) These rates are now subject to reductions consequent upon recent negotiations and awards. 
NOTE :—The German flgures in this official statement do not agree with figures known by industrialists in this country. The general impression is that the 
umounts earned by German workpeople employed on systems of payment by results are about equivalent to what are paid here as time rates. Further, the 
wours of labour, are, generally speaking longer than inthis country.
