The actual working hours of the men and women employed in the 
siery industry varied considerably from the full-time or scheduled 
urs of work, with a tendency toward undertime rather than overtime 
ork. Women in particular tended to work less than their scheduled 
urs, 56 per cent of those employed in the full-fashioned hosiery in- 
istry and 70 per cent of those in seamless hosiery establishments 
orked less than their scheduled hours. (Chart 4) Precisely one-third 
the men in both types of hosiery manufacture worked undertime. 
he full-time scheduled hours were worked by 37 per cent of the women 
the full-fashioned industry and 29 per cent in the seamless hosiery 
dustry. Men had more overtime work in seamless than in full- 
shioned hosiery. Women had very little overtime work in full- 
ishioned hosiery and practically none in seamless hosiery. 
Of the men and women working overtime both in the full-fashioned 
1d in the seamless hosiery industry, the majority had less than eight 
ours overtime. For those losing time from their work, in general 
le lost time was much greater in the seamless than in the full-fashioned 
»siery industry. Practically one-fifth of the men and more than one- 
alf the women engaged in the manufacture of seamless hosiery lost 
ght hours or more from their regular weekly schedule (Table 13).
