SUMMARY. Returns showing the Number Employed in Factories, the Average Wages Earned, and the Number of unpaid Apprentices Engaged. Note. —The rate of wages is that supplied by employers in making their applications to register. It is evidently only approximate. The tables to be furnished next year will be compiled from returns furnished by the Inspectors of Factories, and will be reliable. The apprentices mentioned are those not receiving wages.
