WASHINGTON N O 482 M A R C H 1929 UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR MAY SUMMARY The Bureau of Labor Statistics presents in this report the union wage scales as of May for 863 922 members of organized trades as found in 67 important industrial cities Following is a list of trade groups and the total number of members in each group presented in this report N u m b e r of m em bers Bakers Building trades Chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers Granite and stone trades Laundry workers Linemen Longshoremen Printing and publishing Book and jo b Newspaper Street railways M otorm en and conductors Bus drivers Barbers T otal Seventy nine trades and subdivisions of trades have been included The average hourly rates of wages for the several trades and groups of trades in 1928 in comparison with the rates in 1927 appear in Table 2 page 5 The hourly rate of wages for all trades herein shown taken collectively exclusive of barbers shows an increase of four tenths of 1 per cent Barbers are not included because of being paid by commission in addition to rates Following is a list of trade groups for which data are shown in this report and the per cent of change in hourly rate of wages as compared with 1927 Trade groups showing in c r e a s e in wages per hour in 1928 over 1927 Per cent of increase Building trades Chauffers and teamsters and drivers Granite and stone trades

in wages per hour in 1928 from 1927 Per cent of decrease Bakers Bus drivers Weekly hours of all trades taken as a unit have continued the steady downward trend decreasing 0 5 per cent in 1928 from 1927 By trade groups linemen showed the largest decrease namely ninetenths of 1 per cent closely followed by bakers with seven tenths of 1 per cent and building trades with six tenths of 1 per cent The other decreases were for longshoremen one tenth of 1 per cent news paper printing trades two tenths of 1 per cent and book and job printing less than one tenth of 1 per cent The granite and stone trades showed no change in hours per week while the chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers showed a slight increase of less than one tenth of 1 per cent and laundry workers increased four tenths of 1 per cent The average hours for all trades and localities herein covered not including bus drivers barbers and street railway motormen and conductors are 44 9 per week Hours for bus drivers and motormen and conductors are omitted because of irregularity of length of runs Barbers hours are omitted from the average because the hours agreed to are for the time the shop is open and they are not strictly maximum hours as for the other trades listed Barbers bus drivers and motormen and conductors are all omitted in the computation of the general index numbers presented later so that index numbers for both rates and hours may be based on identical trades In reading this report it must be kept in mind that it does not cover all cities of the United States nor all trades and that the aver ages are based on the data here compiled In computing the averages the rates in the several cities were weighted by the number of members in the city The cities are mainly the largest cities of the country where rates often are higher than in the small cities The trades covered are those in which the workers are almost universally paid at time rates It is not practicable to tabulate in this report the many piece rates that are found in some trades Table 1 shows the average hours per full time week and the per cent of members by trade groups working each classified number of hours per week In this table it is of interest to note that in the trades listed 70 2 per cent of the union members have a 44 hour week and that 81 5 per cent have a week of 44 hours or less SUMMARY Average

all rates are shown in Table A p 81 per full time week as well as per hour The average full time weekly rate for 1928 for all trades combined decreased one tenth of 1 per cent from the 1927 rate Weekly rates in 1928 showed small increases in several groups ranging from 1 per cent for chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers granite and stone trades and linemen to 5 per cent for longshoremen Bakers weekly rates decreased 1 4 per cent and weekly rates for the building trades decreased one tenth of 1 per cent It is impossible of course to follow up the thousands of individual union members and get from them the time they work and the amount of time they do not work hence no statement can be made of their actual earnings in a week or in a year This report can treat only of rates of wages as distinct from actual earnings The rates of wages for bus drivers and barbers were obtained for the first time in 1927 The majorit of the organized bus drivers are found to be in the street railway local unions and in most cases the busses are auxiliary to the electric street railways As shown on page 240 barbers are usually paid a guaranteed rate per full time week and in addition participate on some percentage basis in receipts over a specified amount per week In a few cases com pensation is based entirely on a percentage of the amount taken in with no guaranty given The hours shown are minimum full time hours per week exclusive of time taken for meals The agreements provide that the barber shop shall close daily at a definite time and that the barbers shall continue working on all patrons in the shop at that time no extra compensation being allowed for the overtime For a description of the scope of this report and the methods fol lowed see pages 75 and 76 4 UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES AND NUMBER OF CHANGES IN UNION SCALES BY TRADES The average money rates of wages per hour as of May and 1927 for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for trade groups in Table 2 These averages were obtained by multi plying each hourly rate by the number of members of the union then adding the products and the number of members and dividing the aggregate wages by the aggregate number of members The number of members is held strictly confidential and is used only for the purpose of computing the averages All trades considered excluding barbers it is seen at the end of Table 2 that the average rate per hour increased from 1 154 in 1927 to 1 159 in 1928 and that excluding also bus drivers and street railway occupations the average was 1 190 per hour in 1927 and 1 195 in 1928 There are tabulated for 1928 exclusive of barbers 4 748 union scale quotations for 280 of which there are no comparable data for 1927 Of the 4 468 union scale quotations for which there are comparable data for had not changed during the year and 1 089 had changed in rates or hours or in both of these items There are 946 instances of an increase in hourly wage rates in 1928 as compared with instances of an increase in wage rates per week and 50 in stances of an increase in hours of labor There are 84 instances of a reduction in hourly wage rates in 1928 as compared with instances of a reduction in wage rates per week full time and 114 in stances of a reduction in hours of labor Of the 50 instances of in crease in the hours of labor 7

rates per hour 10 increased 5 decreased and 52 had no change in wage rates per full time week while 1 decreased and 66 had no change in hours per full time week The other items of the table may be read in like manner As before stated the hours per week and rates of wages per week for motormen and conductors and bus drivers are of necessity omitted from this report Of the 23 wage changes reported for motormen and conductors 22 were increases and 1 was a decrease in rates of wages per hour Expressed in percentages of the total number of union scale quo tations in which there were scale changes 86 9 per cent resulted in increases and 7 7 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour 84 0 per cent provided increases and 11 0 per cent decreases in wage rates per full time week and 4 8 per cent provided increases and 10 9 per cent decreases in the hours per week WEEKLY HOURS OF LABOR BY TRADES Table 3 shows the percentage of members in each trade or occupa tion working certain classified hours per week on May It will be observed from the table that 96 1 per cent of the bakers had a week of 48 hours or less that 97 6 per cent of the building trades had a week of 44 hours or less that 81 5 per cent of all union membership covered for which hours per week were obtained has a week of 44 hours or less and 91 5 per cent had a week of 48 hours or less The painters and fresco painters in the building trades with an average of 41 5 hours per week had the shortest week closely followed by the plasterers with 41 8 hours per week The longest working week as shown by the report was that for teamsters and drivers 55 7 hours and for chauffeurs 54 4 hours T able Per cent of trade union members in the United States working each classified number of hours per week M ay Per cent

1913 and 1928 This means that the bakers full time weekly wage rate in 1928 was slightly more than two and one half times the rate of 1913 Between 1907 and 1928 the bakers weekly rate increased 199 1 per cent In other words bakers wages in 1928 were nearly three times those of 1907 Data for all trades are not available as far back as 1913 So far as shown the greatest increase in any trade between 1913 and 1928 was in steam and sprinkler fitters helpers Here the increase was 202 6 per cent making the rafee more than three times as much in 1928 as in 1913 The greatest increase between 1907 and 1928 is also for steam and sprinkler fitters helpers In this trade the weekly rate in 1928 was more than three and one half times the rate in 1907 INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED 1907 TO 1928 The index numbers in Table 5 are percentages in which the rates for all of the years were compared with the rate in the selected base year which is taken as 100 Table 5 shows the extent of the changes in all cities and all trades combined in union wage rates taken as a whole for each year from 1907 to 1928 the data for preceding years are drawn from earlier reports The pre war year 1913 is taken as

per cent lower in 1928 than in 1913 and full time weekly earnings were more than 2 4 times as much in 1928 as in 1913 As some readers may desire to make comparisons with the initial year 1907 a table of index numbers has been computed from the same basic figures starting with 1907 as 100 15 INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED T able 6 Index numbers of union wage rates and hours of labor from 1907

times as much in 1928 as in 1907 The index for full time hours per week in 1928 is 89 6 meaning that since 1907 full time hours per week had decreased 10 4 per cent The index for full time rates of wages per week stands at 262 8 in 1928 meaning that full time weekly earnings were more than 2 6 times as much in 1928 as in 1907 An inspection of these index numbers shows that the grand average of union rates of wages per hour and hours per full time week has been increasing each year save one for the last 21 years The aver age for 1928 shows the smallest increase in rate per hour and only one decrease was noted the average for 1922 being lower than the average for 1921 The average rate per full time week showed an increase every year except two 1922 and 1928 While the rate of wages has been increasing the hours per full time week has been almost as steadily decreasing only two years showed increases viz 1921 and 1922 To set forth more clearly the extent of change from year to year in the grand average of union rates of wages per hour and of hours per full time week Table 7 is presented This table shows the per cent of change in the rate of wages per hour and in the hours per

by years in an abridged form in the Labor Review for September 1928 The trades and occupations covered in this bulletin are divided into 12 groups as follows Bakery trades Barbers Building trades Bus drivers Chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers Granite and stone trades Laundry workers Linemen Longshoremen Printing and publishing Book and job Printing and publishing Newspaper Street railways M otormen and conductors The 67 cities for which data are given are located in 36 States Tbe cities selected are generally the largest in their respective sections of the country They are as follows

carried by the bureau in the union wage reports in pre ceding years A list of these trades and tne bulletins in which they appear are stated in Bulletin 404 page 57 Tbe asterisks in the preceding list indicate cities added since the first report In Table A page 81 data for each of the cities are given for each trade in which a scale was in effect UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR 77 EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS A union scale as the term is here used is a statement either written or definitely understood of wages and hours of labor agreed to or accepted by an organization of union men and an employer or group of employers under which agreement expressed or implied union men actually work A union scale usually fixes the limit in only one direction It sets a minimum wage and a maximum of hours for a regular day s work This report shows such minimum wage and maximum hours as are established by the agreed to or accepted scale In certain cities and trades however some work men and in some few instances all or nearly all workmen actually are paid more than the scale and in some instances employees work fewer hours than the scale calls for As a general rule however the union scale represents the prevailing wage of a locality In cases where bonuses are definitely reported in one fixed amount and apparently are to remain in effect indefinitely such bonuses have been combined with the regular rate The observance of Labor Day as a holiday is so general and the fact is so widely understood that it has been deemed unnecessary to refer to the many agreements which prohibit the performance of ordinary work on that day However in instances where the pro hibition of work has been extended to other days or parts of days such as July 4 and Saturday afternoon and also includes Labor Day the conditions are stated in footnotes In the newspaper printing trades compositor and machine operator agreements are found in certain cities in which there are stated maximum hours that may not be exceeded except by payment of an overtime rate and a minimum of hours for which work must be provided or payment made if a man undertakes a day s work When such contract exists there may be further a commonly accepted working time within the limits provided so well established that such time is in effect the standard working day In such instances the tabulation shows such actual working hours and notes state the maximum and minimum hours No scale for any trade is published here unless it was so well established that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union were receiving the scale or above it Information obtained on this question indicates that an insignificant number of union members were working for less than the scale while a considerable number were receiving more than the scale Some trades were not organized in certain cities and some were organized only in part When organized in part with a scale in force for such men as were organized the scale is published The union scales in this report are almost entirely time rate scales The only piece rate scales shown are for lathers and for machine operators in the printing trades and one quotation for longshoremen These occupations have simple units of payment which are com monly understood Many trades work to a large extent on piece rates Such rates are so great in number and the units of payment so variable that it is not practicable to quote them And further though the piece units were described in great detail the amount of 78 UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR the workers time involved would be understood by few who were not acquainted with the industry The various scales agreed to by employers and trade unions state wages for differing units of time Some scales designate the rates of wages by the hour others by the day week or month The varying rates have been converted into common terms and both hourly and weekly rates are shown General Table A p 81 shows the rates of wages per hour and the rates per full time week the rates for overtime Sunday and holiday work the regular hours for a full day for Saturday and for a full week the number of months in the year for which the agreement provided for a Saturday part or whole holiday and the per cent of members receiving more than scale and the amount or range received Corresponding figures for 1927 are reproduced in part in this table Certain unions have agreements that Saturday or some other week day shall be a day of rest instead of Sunday In such cases the over time provision for this day has been tabulated as equivalent to the usual Sunday provision In other words Sunday is considered as comprehensive enough to cover any fixed rest day Likewise if there is a short day in the week other than Saturday it has been tabulated as equivalent to a Saturday provision Where two or more quotations of rates and hours are shown for the same occupation in the same city such quotations represent two or more agreements between unions and employers sometimes different unions sometimes different employers sometimes both The letters A B C etc are used to designate different quotations but have no other significance When the number of hours per week differed during a part of the year from that shown for May the difference has been noted in the table When a strike or lockout was pending on May 15 the scale which was in effect before the strike or lockout began has been tabulated with a note Old scale strike pending Most of the data for this report were obtained by special agents of the bureau through personal visits to business agents secretaries or other officials of the respective trade unions in the several cities The State labor bureaus of Massachusetts Ohio Pennsylvania and Wiscon sin for their own purposes collect union wage scales within their respec tive States To avoid duplication of field work in these States they have furnished such information as is necessary to this compilation The Ohio Pennsylvania and Wisconsin data were collected entirely by personal visits of special agents of those States The Massachu setts bureau collected its data in part by correspondence and in part by sending out special agents In the work of this bureau and of the four State bureaus named wage scales written agreements and trade union records were con sulted wherever available Over 2 000 union representatives were visited Scales for apprentices are not shown but scales for helpers in a number of trades are given In some trades the work of helpers is performed in part by apprentices Whenever it was found that the work of helpers is largely done by apprentices the scales for such helpers have been omitted EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS 79 An inspection of the general table shows for some occupations a great variation in trade terms and classifications in the different cities For example bakers are classed in some cities as first hands second hands and third hands in other cities as mixers benchmen oven men etc The difference in occupation names makes a com parison between cities difficult Inquiry has shown that the terms first hand second hand etc do not cover identical work in the different cities where these terms are used Certain work may be considered first hand work in one city and second hand work in another city Of necessity this bureau has followed the terminology used in each city There are also great variations in classification and in the extent of subdivision of chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers and of book binding and presswork occupations making comparison of city with city quite difficult and similar conditions less in degree are found in several other trades Special rates for inconsequential groups within these occupations have been omitted in some cities As stated before the average rates shown in preceding tables were obtained by multiplying the rate for each city by the number of union members adding the products for all cities and dividing the sum by the aggregate membership in all cities The same method was used in computing average hours The averages are based on all data available each year There may be an effective scale in a city one year and not in the next year If there is no effective scale the city does not enter into the average A change in the average therefore is possible though there be no change in any of the other cities Further there may be a change in the average when there is no change in the rate or hours for any city all due to a change in the relative number of union members If there is an increase in mem bership in high rate cities and not in low rate cities the average for the country is raised Conversely if increase of membership occurs in the low rate rather than in the high rate cities the average is lowered A few changes in the large widespread trades may cause but little change in the average while a few changes in a trade limited as to cities or as to membership may materially affect the average Index numbers are computed to make comparisons easier as between years They are only percentages which show the increase or decrease in all other years as compared with one year selected as the base In most of the tables 1913 is taken as the base In other tables 1907 the first year of this series of reports is taken as the base The index numbers for rates have been obtained by computing ratios from the rates for each two successive years and beginning with the base year compounding the ratios each year The ratio of the 1914 rate to the 1913 rate is the index number for 1914 The index number for 1914 thus found multiplied by the ratio of 1915 to 1914 gives the index number for 1915 etc In the earlier years the ratio was based on the average as computed from identical unions that reported for both years old quotations dropping out and new quotations coming in being omitted from the average In the later years the averages are based on all data received each year 80 UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR The same method w used in computing index numbers of hours as and of wages per full time week In computing the general index number when an industry is added or omitted the ratio is based on the data for identical industries Here it is not a question of a trade or an industry coming into or passing out of existence but a question of discontinuing or taking on an industry that is in existence To illustrate the metal industry and the millwork industry were omitted in 1925 and have been since as it was known that more representative data for these two industries could be obtained from establishment pay rolls These trades were covered in 1924 and earlier years and entered into the general index for all trades in those years Before computing the general index for 1925 a new grand average was computed for all trade groups with these trade groups omitted Then the ratio between 1924 and 1925 for all the remaining trade groups combined was computed and the general index for 1924 was multiplied by this ratio to get the general index for 1925 Caution should be used in considering these index numbers The result obtained by a subtraction of index numbers does not repre sent the per cent of increase or decrease between the different years For example referring to page 17 the index number of bakers rates of wages per week in 1907 was 85 1 as compared with 254 5 in 1928 making an increase of 169 4 points in the index number This 169 4 is 199 1 per cent of 85 1 thus making the increase in 1928 over per
