under the Factory and Workshop Act and subsequently published in
the Annual Report were no longer required, and only an abbreviated
account was published that year, however, in 1922 it was decided to
give a full account of the work carried out, and for comparative purposes
with the figures already given for 1905 the following is a copy of the
report made in 1922.
Factories and Workshops.—Particulars of the work carried out under
the Factory and Workshops Acts have been compiled, and are set out
