SOLINGEN. 433 has other workmen in his employ, the wages of the latter depend on the terms which they can make with each individual master. Moreover, some firms have special wages-agreements of their own ; this is the case, for example, with the largest firm in Solingen itself, for its hammer-men. There is great diversity in the earnings of Solingen cutlers. As a general rule the earnings of the factory workmen (except the grinders) are higher than those of the home-workers, or as high for shorter hours of labour, but in both the factory and the home industry there is a wide range, determined by individual capacity, but still more by the kind and quality of goods upon which a man works, and thus diversity applies more or less to all the various processes of manufacture. The rates of earnings given below are based upon returns furnished by representative firms in all the leading branches of industry. The engineering trade does not take a very prominent place in the industry of Solingen. The wages of skilled men in machine shops range from 27 s. to 33s., and of labourers from 18s. to 21s. There is a steel works with several hundred men. Wages in the building trades are for the most part regulated by agreements. The hours of labour vary from 57 to 60, and the predominant rates fall between 6d. and 6^d. per hour. It is noticeable that earth work is for the most part done by Italian labourers. It is due to the character of Solingen’s staple industries and to the relatively high level of wages prevailing therein, that the rates of pay for unskilled day labour, accepted by the authorities as the basis for insurance calculations, reach an unusual scale, being 3s. 6d. for male adults, 3s. for males between 17 and 20 years, and Is. 9\d. for juveniles under 17 years, rates equal to 21s., 18s., and 10s. 9d. weekly.
