REMARKS ON PRECEDING TABLES.
Employed in the thirteen groups of _industrials_, 112,891 women; 7,851
girls, of whom 869 were under 12--rest from 12 to 16. To every two men
employed, one woman. Women more numerous than men in the manufacture of
garments and materials for them. None employed in the laborious
occupations. Equal in fancy wares. Highest wages of women per day, 20
francs, least 15 centimes--average, 1 franc 63 centimes.
950 women's salaries less than 60 centimes.
626 " higher than 3 francs.
The bulk, or 100,050 " range between the two extremes.
Extremely low salaries are exceptional. Thus only two were so low as 15
centimes, and one of these workers was aged sixty-eight, and the other
seventy-one. Women's wages are rather over half what the wages of men
are.[A]
[A] 5 centimes are equal to about one cent of our money, and a franc is
equal to about 20 cents.
THE END.
Transcriber's notes:
In "By giving a suitable notice to the overseer, it is so arranged that
the help can be absent from their work one day or a month." or was
changed into of.
In "Another lady told me that in pattern making she gives instruction
two months, paying nothing, but then they can earn $2.50, and, as they
become more expert, can earn $3, $3.50, and $4.", $ was added before
the figure of 3.50.
The name of the inventor of the knitting machine mentioned several times
in this book (Mr. Aiken) was spelled "Aikens" on occasion; this was
corrected except in the one instance which was a quotation from another
document.
In "In the department of Sonne, France, women alone have the right to go
into the fields", Sonne was changed into Somme.
In "Many of the young Swabian girls of thirteen or fourteen years old
are sent to Stuttgard", Stuttgard was changed into Stuttgart.
There are many opening or closing quotation marks missing in the text.
As in most instances, it is impossible to say where the quotation was
meant to begin or end, those errors have not been corrected. Only in
the following two instances were quotation marks removed:
--In >"Mrs. B., who has been twenty-three years carrying on the
business on Broadway, says "she has applications constantly, but
finds it difficult to obtain competent workmen."<, opening quotation
mark before Mrs. B. (lacking a closing quotation mark, and since text
indicates only indirect quotation) was removed.
--In >The war department, about two years ago, closed a contract with
S., of Philadelphia, to furnish sixteen thousand felt hats for the
army, at $2.75 each."<, closing quotation mark was removed as erroneous.
"Employee/s" is found in various different spellings throughout the
book; this inconsistency has been retained.
In the table in the Appendix, formatting was removed from the
headers, headers were abbreviated (cents to ct), names of months were
abbreviated, and conjunctions and commas etc. removed from the lists of
months to keep the information readable.
