We have now on the register 955 workshops, including 144 laundries,
in which women and female young persons are employed.
Workroom cards showing the number of persons permitted in each
room have been distributed to 216 workrooms.
Outworkers.—In the early months of the year, before the appointment
of Miss Newton, I inspected 32 outworkers' premises. I found
six of these premises dirty; three dilapidated ; one with defective
roof, four with damp walls, three with defective dustbins, and one
without a dustbin.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
ALICE TEEBAY.
