OUTWORKERS AND HOMEWORKERS.—The provisions of the Act
relating to "Outworkers" were carried out as heretofore, and the lists of the
names and addresses of workers receiving work from the City firms were duly
received without the necessity of legal proceedings.
In 85 cases employers neglected to keep lists at their premises and to send
copies of the same to the Corporation as required by the Act. Notice in each
case was served upon the offender and in all cases complied with.
