bit] 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 :—- Predominant Modal Classes for Monthly Earnings in Selected Depdrtments in Sholapur (1) Mex Department or Dacupation Total number returned \lodal Group of Monthly Barnings Number of workers in the Modal Group Percentage of the number in the group to number returned Ra Weavers Ring Spinning .. ve Slubbing, Inter and Roving ..
