 NOTE. The above rates arc for time-work, but it should be remembered that a great deal of the work 
 done, especially in shipyards, is paid for by piece, and the actual earnings in a full week of men on 
 piecework are, generally speaking, considerably more than what are indicated by the time-work rates of 
 wages.
