* As the census was taken in December, the total number of building trade employees 
would be understated, for a large number of rural masons, labourers, and other workers 
come into town in the summer and return in late autumn. 
In factories and workshops under inspection alone 323,788 persons were 
employed in 1906, viz. :—

These workpeople were engaged in 17,915 undertakings of all kinds, in Berlin, 
Charlottenburg, Rixdorf, and Schöneberg, subject to supervision by the factory 
inspectors, and so may be regarded as representing the “industrial population” 
in the limited sense of the factory inspectors’ reports. The principal industries 
and the workpeople employed in them were as follows (children under 14 years 
only numbered 68) :—

The importance and wealth of Berlin as an industrial centre are chiefly 
attributable to its extensive and highly-developed metal industries. No less 
than 37*2 per cent, of all the workpeople enumerated by the Factory Inspectors 
in 1906 belonged to these various industries, and the adult males employed in 
them represented 46'4 per cent, of all the male workpeople engaged in factories 
and workshops. The electrical industry is especially noteworthy Several large 
Arms virtually monopolise its output, for, though there are manvwLrksin 
various parts of the city and its environs, probably half of them beW to a
