The employees in the other occupations in both groups of factories are almost entirely women. The proportion of weavers to the total number employed is considerably greater in stuff-weaving than in velvet weaving. (2) There is no hard and fast division between the two groups of weavers, and if occupation is slack in one branch some of the weavers in it may pass temporarily to the other. This frequently occurs, but it is stated to be much easier for the velvet weaver to go over to the stuff weaving than for the reverse process to take place. The next table shows the size of the factories in the whole of the Lower Rhine industrial region in 1904 :— No. of Employees.
