With the exception of spinners whose average daily earnings mn the individual mills varied only within a limit of two annas between wnnas-14-6 and Rs. 1-0-3, the variations in the other occupations were within wider limits in Ahmedabad as compared with Bombay. The limit of variation in the case of weavers was eleven annas and nine pies, the actual range being Rs. 1-8-5 to Rs. 2-4-2. For warpers it was Rs. 1-6-3 with a range from Rs. 1-9-2 to Rs. 2-15-5. 89. In Sholapur the average daily earnings of Siders and Weavers in one mill were Re. 0-11-1 and Rs. 1-9-2 as against Re. 0-12-7 and Rs. 1-10-1 in the other mill. Warpers and Grey Winders were only employed ia one mill, so no comparative figures are available for the other. Ope important factor in these variations in earnings is the different rates paid by different mills for the same class of work, a difference which the Indian Textile Tariff Board which sat in 1926 suggested should be rectified by standardisation.
