excluded from the totals it is found that 22,598 adult operatives worked 
full-time out of 43,744 returned, the percentage in this case amounting 
bo 5166 as against 47-82 per cent. as stated in the table. In Ahmedabad 
there was little difference in the percentages for full-time attendance as 
between men and women. Among men, 7,157 out of 12,719 returned 
or 56°27 per cent. worked full-time, the corresponding figures for women 
being 1,677 out of 3,016 or 5560 per cent. 
58. The figures in the main tables Nos. IV to VI are compiled by 
Departments. . The figures for the number of operatives working 
full time in each occupation group will be found in the detailed tables 
Nos. X and XII for Average Earnings for Bombay and Sholapur. The 
Bombay figures are in relation to 27 days in the month whereas the 
Sholapur figures cover the numbers of those working for a full working 
month of 27 days in one mill and of 26 days in the other mill. As peri- 
odic earnings have not been compiled for Ahmedabad for the reasons 
given in Chapter Il (paragraph 26) no separate figures have been given 
for the number of full time workers against different occupations, 
As it is of interest, however, to compare the figures of the numbers work- 
ing full time in relation to the numbers returned in the main occupations 
for men and women as between the three centres, separate figures were 
worked out for Ahmedabad for weavers and spinners (siders) among 
men, and for winders and reelers among women and these are set out 
in comparison with the figures for Bombay and Sholapur in the following

59. There are several striking features in the above table. The 
effects of the rotation of employment given to reelers and winders 
in Bombay are brought out at once when it is seen that only 23-70 per 
cent. of the winders and 20-21 per cent. of the reelers worked full time 
as against 45°12 per cent. in the case of the remaining 5,395 women 
employed in the selected Bombay mills. In Ahmedabad the percentages 
of those working full time to the number returned were 54 17 for wirders
