To 17s. A week, and for worsted stuff weavers lis. To 14s. A week. But even these rates are miserably low. The wages of spinners were also very poor, the work being mostly done by women and children, though when men are employed they get fairly good pay. The follow- ing table will show clearly the various rates, and it will be seen that here wages sink steadily till 1845, owing to the rapid production of" the new machinery. The women's Spinners 1808-15 1815-93 1823-30 1830-36 1836-45 Men Women ...Children 24/ to 26/ 13/ to 14/ 4/6 to 5/6 24/ to 26/ 13/ to 14/ 4/6 to 5/6 24/ to 26/ 11/ to 12/ 4/6 to 5/6 24/ to 26/ 8/ to 10/ 4/6 to 5/6 24/ to 26/ 7/ to 9/ 4/6 to 5/6 wages exhibit the fall most markedly, the labour of children being already affected to some extent by the pro- visions of the Factory Acts.
