5. With reference to item No. 12, the Millowners’ Association were
originally of the opinion that it would not be possible for the individual
mills to give separate figures for the earnings of regular workers and their
badlis, if any. But when an Investigator of the Labour Office visited
the mills personally in order to explain the manner in which the attend-
ance registers for the month of July should be maintained and the way
in which the forms should be filled up, the majority of the mills agreed
to show the earnings of the regular workers and badlis separately. In a
few cases where some mills did not do this it was necessary for the Labour
Office to undertake a series of separate calculations to ascertain the
wages earned by the regular worker and by the badli from the data
furnished for production by the regular worker and the badli respectively.
In cases where regular workers permanently left their employment
during the period covered by the Enquiry and were replaced by one or
even by two others, both the workers who left and those by whom they
were replaced were bracketed together and bracketed cases were treated
as single operatives. Badlis were, however, treated separately in all
cases. With regard to items (5) to (8) it was found that these
particulars alone would be of practically no value if any attempt was to be
made to ascertain rates for particular varieties of cloth unless the mills
concerned also furnished details regarding Warp and Weft Counts and
reeds and picks. At the personal request of the Investigator of the
Labour Office, some mills agreed to furnish the additional particulars
required, but as one or two mills were unable to do so, general instructions
were subsequently issued to all the mills covered by the Enquiry not to
take the trouble to enter the details under the additional heads. In
view of the fact that women are not employed as weavers in any textile
mill in the Bombay Presidency, it was not necessary, in the forms for
weavers, to ask for any information regarding age and sex.
