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.
(3) Sholapur
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 :—-
