168 DANTZIG. hours so fixed have been used in calculating the weekly rates of wages and hours of labour in those trades for the present report. In all other cases it has been necessary to have recourse to the leading employers of labour, most of whom (including the imperial shipyard, the royal ordnance workshops, and the municipal authorities) readily furnished returns based on the records of their pay sheets for the month of October, 1905. Except for the most inferior kinds of unskilled labour payment by piece-work was found to be the rule in all the larger establishments. In order, therefore, to obtain figures comparable so far as possible with a weekly rate of wages, the employers were asked to return for each of the principal occupation groups the amount most frequently earned in a full week without overtime by men in that group, and the number of hours (inclusive of intervals for meals) constituting the regular working week. Subject to these qualifications the following Table is given. Wages and Hours of Lab oar in the Principal Occupations, October, 1905. Weekly Wages. Weekly Hours of Labour.
