130. The figures in the above table are self-explanatory and do not 
call for any eomment. If the main tables are considered from the view- 
point of workers in all departments it will be seen that the point 
of greatest density for male operatives is in the group Rs. 24 to Rs. 26. 
The modal average works out at about Rs. 25. The number of male 
workers who earned between Rs, 22 and Rs. 30 amounted to 12,507 or 
about 33 per cent. of the number returned whereas the number who 
earned over Rs. 50 per month amounted to 7,471 or 19-47 per cent. of 
the total number of men returned. The mode in the case of 
women workers lies in the group Rs. 18 to Rs. 20 and the modal average 
works out at inside of Rs 19. The number of women who earned 
between Rs. 16 and Rs. 22 amounted to 5,016 or over 40 per cent. of the 
total number of women returned. 306 or only 2:52 per cent. 
sarned over Rs. 30 per month. With regard to all workers, both male 
and female, in Bombay, the position of greatest density again lies in the 
same group as for men; viz., Rs. 24 to RBs. 26 and the modal average is 
also very near to that for men alone and amounts to about Rs. 25. It 
does not appear to be necessary to burden this section with numbers of 
workers in different groups and the percentages which they bear to the 
totals returned. This could be done ad infinitum and anybody 
interested in ascertaining the frequency for any particular group could 
easily do so by summing the respective figures required from the main 
tables.

131. Tt will have been noticed that a departure has been made in 
the manner of presenting the results for frequencies of earnings from 
the method followed in the earlier sections of this Chapter where 
the figures for average earnings for each of the occupations dealt 
with in each of the three centres covered by the Enquiry were 
given side by side in a comparative form. This was due to the 
impracticability of compiling frequency tables for Ahmedabad on the 
basis of monthly earnings owing to reasons already dealt with. The 
frequency tables for Ahmedabad have, therefore, been framed on the 
basis of dailv earnings. Four separate tables have been prepared :
