made by him on the 23rd May last, which is now in force and
relapses the earlier Order of 15th August, 1905.
It will be observed that the Order extends (a) the obligation of
occupiers and contractors to keep and send to the Council lists of the
outworkers employed by them, and (b) the power of the Council to
prohibit occupiers and contractors from giving out work to be done
in unwholesome or infected dwellings, to the following additional
classes of home work, viz.:—Artificial flowers ; nets other than
wire nets; tents; sacks; covering of racket or tennis balls; boxes
of cardboard, chip, or similar material; pea picking; feather sorting;
carding, boxing or packeting of buttons, hooks and eyes, pins
and hairpins; and baskets.
The form of Outworkers List to be kept by occupiers and contractors,
prescribed by the Schedule to the Order, has been modified
by the addition of a new column (col. 3), requiring the occupier or
contractor to specify the particular class of work on which the
outworker is engaged.
