The figures in individual industries were: road transport, first period 5 arbitrations out of a total of 5 orders and decisions refusing, second period 8 out of 10; manufacturing grocers, 4 to 7 and 7 to 7; food preservers, 2 to 7 and 7 to 9; clothing trades, 5 to 7 and 7 to 11; carpenters and joiners, 3 to 6 and 6 to 11; flour millers, 5 to 10 and 4 to 9; bank officers, 4 to 8 and 3 to 12; tanning, 2 to 7 and 2 to 7; printing, 4 to 4 and 2 to 8; insurance officers, 1 to 9 and 1 to 9. No allowance is made for the fact that in some industries new awards are made more often than in other industries; this increases the number of orders made in such industries.
