(a) There were no names and addresses of outworkers received in respect to the following classes of work: Tents, sacks, baske
making, mats other than wire nets, racquet and tennis balls, stuffed toys, file making, electro plate, cables and chains, anchors anc
grapnels, cart gear, locks, latches, and keys, and pea picking.
(b) The figures in columns 2 and 4 are the total number of lists received from employers who sent them both for Februar
and August, and of the entries of names of outworkers in those lists. They are therefore double the number of employers an<
approximately double the number of individual outworkers whose names are given, since in the February and August lists of thi
same employers, the same outworker's name will often be repeated.
(c) There were no prosecutions, but letters were sent to employers in 28 instances of failures to send lists of outworker
employed in making wearing apparel, &c., and in 3G instances for similar failures in respect to paper bag and box making.
