Outworkers' Premises.—There were 2,937 outworkers' premises on
the Register, or 302 more than in the preceding year, when there was a
decrease of 98 as compared with 1912.
The lists received from the employers in Islington contained the names
and addresses of 1,860 outworkers, while there were also received from the
Medical Officers of Health of other Boroughs, within and without the County,
the names of 1,967 outworkers who resided here.
It is once more to be noted that the lists are tardily forwarded by local
employers, who, for the most part, do not send them until several applications
have been made for them.
From these lists the names of 1,285 persons living outside Islington were
abstracted and forwarded to the Medical Officers of Health of other
Boroughs.
The importance of the work of inspecting the homes of outworkers may
be judged from the fact that during the year it was found that in 58
instances these people were engaged in making wearing apparel in unwholesome
houses; in making umbrellas and artificial flowers in 20 and
paper boxes or bags in 16, while brush-making was carried out in 9. It was
discovered also that 25 outworkers were making wearing apparel in infected
houses, artificial flowers in 4, and paper boxes in 2.
