TIME AND LABOR COSTS IN MANUFACTURING
100 PAIRS OF SHOES, 1923.
INTRODUCTION.
This report presents time and labor costs in the production of
100 pairs of shoes of a specified style and average hourly wages or
earnings of shoe workers for each of the operations in each of the
departments of the modern shoe manufacturing establishment,
and for the factory as a whole, and also shows for each operation the
number of pairs of shoes on which such work could be completed in
one hour, assuming that the employees would work at the same speed
during the hour as they did during the time required for the 100 pairs
of shoes.
The figures in this report were computed from detailed time and
labor cost reports carefully compiled during the summer of 1923 and
furnished, as requested, to the Bureau of Labor Statistics by rep
resentative shoe manufacturing establishments located in 9 of the
important shoe-producing States, namely, Massachusetts, New York,
Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maine, Illinois,
and Virginia.
Sixteen detailed reports were furnished covering the manufacture
of men’s shoes, 14 o f which were for high shoes and 2 for oxfords;
27 reports were received for women’s shoes, *24 of which were for low
shoes and 3 for high shoes. Twenty-six of these reports were for
shoes manufactured by the Goodyear welt method and 17 were for
shoes manufactured by the McKay method.
The operations and departments in the modern shoe factory, as
shown in the tables of this report, emphasize the minute specifica
tions as well as the- specialization of work in the manufacture of
shoes, the careful and efficient organization, the many different em
ployees through whose hands a shoe passes in the process of manu
facture, the comparatively short time consumed in performing
each operation on a pair of shoes, and the very small labor cost not
only for each operation but for all the operations necessary in the
manufacture of a pair of shoes.
The work of the sole-leather department is divided into cutting
and preparation of outsoles, insoles, counters, heels, etc. Many of
the establishments covered in this report purchase the various soleleather parts from establishments specializing in the production
of such parts. By the inclusion of data drawn from reports obtained
1

TIME AND LABOR COSTS IN MANUFACTURING SHOES.
from representative establishments engaged in the manufacture and
sale of sole-leather parts, complete time and labor costs and other
figures are presented for all work necessary in the manufacture of
shoes. For figures covering establishments engaged in the manu
facture and sale of sole-leather parts only, see pages 132 to 140.
For each department of the factory, operations are given as far as
possible in the order in which the work is performed. At the end of
ea.ch department are shown “ general work,” and “ organization.”
“ General work” represents work of a miscellaneous character, while
“ organization” represents work of foremen and assistant foremen.
Costs and other data for clerks, superintendents, managers, watch
men, and power-house employees are not included. The column
“ time cost” shows the time in minutes required for one person to
perform the operation on 100 pairs of shoes. The “ labor cost” is
the amount paid for the work done in the time indicated in the
time-cost column.
The manufacturers from whom statements were obtained used
different methods in arriving at time and labor cost for each opera
tion necessary in the manufacture of 100 pairs of shoes.
In all sections of the country where shoes are manufactured to any
extent, a large per cent of the operations are paid for at piece rates.
The rate, o f course, varies with the style of the shoe and as between
different factories. The sum total of all piece-rate costs for the
work on a particular shoe in each department, plus the propor
tionate amount chargeable for time work, operators and foremen
and general workers, paid weekly rates, constitute the labor cost
for that department. By combining the costs for the various depart
ments of the factory the entire labor cost was obtained for the shoe.
The piece rate (money cost) per case (one to four dozen pairs) for
each operation and for all operations combined was converted to an
equivalent cost figure for 100 pairs.
Approximately 17 per cent of the factories covered by this study
had records of time cost and furnished the desired information from
such records. In approximately 10 per cent a man was detailed
from the cost department to use a stop watch to arrive at the time
ordinarily used by the selected average worker in the performance of
each operation on a certain number of shoes, while tune figures for
approximately 65 per cent of the plants were obtained by having each
operator on a lot of shoes (usually four cases) indicate on a memo
randum furnished by this bureau the amount of time spent on each
operation on the lot.
In the remaining establishments, where complete time-clock rec
ords for both time and pieceworkers were available, the total hours
worked and total earnings at each occupation during a representative
pay period were used in arriving at an average earning rate per hour.
In these establishments the time cost was computed from the piece rate
and the average earnings per hour for each operation. Example: If
the piece rate for slugging heels is 35 cents per case of 36 pairs, and
the average hourly earnings for this occupation is 70 cents, the time
cost is 30 minutes for 36 pairs. The time cost of each operation in
each particular lot of shoes was then converted to an equivalent
tim e-cost figure for 100 pairs.
INTRODUCTION*

Both money-labor cost and time-labor cost shown in this report
for organization (foremen and assistants) and other general workers
paid on a weekly basis were obtained from the average weekly pro
duction for the entire factory and the combined hours and wage
rate for each of such employees. If there was more than one worker
employed at any of the miscellaneous occupations, all were included.
For example: If in a factory whose average output was 10,000 pairs
of all kinds of shoes per week the foreman in the cutting department
was paid $75 per week of 48 hours (2,880 minutes), the labor cost
would be 75 cents and the time cost 28.8 minutes for 100 pairs. In
case* there were three foremen in this department receiving the same
rate the labor cost would be $2.25 and the time cost 86.4 minutes.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, beginning with the Nineteenth
Annual Report (1904) of the Commissioner of Labor, and ending
with Bulletin No. 324 (March, 1923), has published many reports
on wages and hours of labor of employees in boot and shoe manu
facturing. In the Thirteenth Annual Report (pp. 540 to 550), pub
lished in 1899, time and labor costs are presented for each operation
in the manufacture of shoes by the hand method in 1863 ana by the
machine method in 1895. This appears as Appendix A of this
bulletin. In Bulletin No. 232 (pp. 165 to 169), published by this
bureau in 1918, are presented like cost figures in the manufacture of
100 pairs of men’s snoes in 1916. This has been made Appendix B
of the present bulletin.
Comparing the 1916 cost figures (Appendix B) with the 1923
figures of the same establishment (pp. 5-8) it is found that the time
cost in 1923 is 25.1 per cent less than in 1916, while the labor cost in
1923 is 48.5 per cent more than in 1916. The decrease in the time
cost has no doubt been accomplished by the introduction of more
effective machinery and by more efficient organization, while the great
increase in labor cost is due to increased basic wage rates and the
reduction of hours of work. Appendix A shows that to produce
100 pairs of shoes by the hand method in 1863 required 1,831 hours
and 40 minutes and that the labor cost for these was $458.19. The
same number of similar shoes were made in 1895 by the machine
method in 236 hours and 6 minutes, the labor cost being $59.55.
In comparing the productivity and labor costs in these periods it
is well to note a few of the important changes incident to the growth
of this important industry. The production of boots and shoes in
the United States was started in a small way by the primitive shoe
maker who worked at the bench in his own home, making shoes to
order-for the community, and the itinerant shoemaker who trav
eled from village to village, carrying his tools on his back, doing re
pair work and often contracting to shoe an entire family (the work
might take a week or longer, the contract including his entertain
ment) ; next came the small shop which accommodated three or four
workmen, followed closely by the primitive factory, in which much
of the work was still done by hand, and which had an output of
only a few pairs per day. The modern factory of to-day with its
power-driven machinery can turn out 75,000 pairs every workday
in the year. This marvelous change, which is due in a large measure
to the introduction of machinery, has taken place within a period of
about 65 years.

TIME AND LABOR COSTS IN MANUFACTURING SHOES.
For more than 600 years prior to 1858, when the McKay sewing
machine was introduced, the methods of shoe making were not greatly
improved. The list of machines invented, which followed closely the
introduction of the McKay machine, goes well into the thousands,
and the inventions by which these were improved are almost number
less. Steam power was first introduced to run shoe machinery in
1863, gas engines in 1885, and electric motors in 1889. Another great
factor instrumental in lowering time costs has been the division of
labor, whereby the various operations necessary for the construction
of a shoe, theretofore usually performed by one man, were diyided
among several workmen, each doing one particular part.
It soon became a well-established fact that some workers were
unusually proficient in certain operations, some in cutting, others
in preparing the soles, fastening them to the uppers, etc. By this
constant attention to a particular part of the shoe, the worker
was able to accomplish much more in a given length of time and to
do that work better and with less effort than when making the
entire shoe. This division of labor continued to increase, and in a
much larger degree, after the introduction of machinery. At the
present time there are between two and three hundred different
operations on a shoe (depending on the method of construction), and
in many large establishments each operation is performed by a
different employee.
One other means of lowering time costs has been the proper arrange
ment of the several departments so as to form an unbroken chain
in performing the various operations, all following in one direction
throughout the factory. This is usually accomplished by locating
on the top floor of the factory the upper-cutting department, where
the various parts of the upper portion of the shoe are cut and then
sent to the next floor below to be stitched together to form the upper.
These stitched uppers then go to the lasting department, where they
are pulled over the last and united with certain parts sent there from
the sole-leather department. . These assembled shoes then continue
on to the bottoming, finishing, treeing, packing, and shipping depart
ments, arranged in the order named, except the sole-leather depart
ment, which is usually located in the basement because of the heavy
material and the heavy machinery necessary in the cutting and prep
aration of the soles and heels. Thus it is seen that the raw material
for the upper is started on the top floor of the factory, continues down
through the various departments, and ends on the first floor in the
packing department as a completed shoe, ready for- shipment.

TIME AND LABOR COSTS— PARTS PURCHASED,
PARTS PURCHASED, BY ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION.
As has already been stated, many establishments purchase certain
>arts, such as outsoles, insoles, counters, heels, etc. It was thereore necessary, in order to be able to report as nearly as possible total
cost,figures for each establishment purchasing parts, to obtain cost
figures for the parts so purchased from establishments specializing in
the production of the parts. From the cost figures covering such
arts, averages were computed and used in arriving at the total cost
gures for each establishment which purchased parts. The detailed
figures used in arriving at the averages were furnished by the estab
lishments from which the parts were purchased.

APPENDIX 'B.— TIME AND LABOR COSTS IN MAKING 100 PAIRS OP
SHOES IN 1016.1
In this appendix is presented a table showing the time cost and
labor cost, b y occupations, in the manufacture of 100 pairs of welt
shoes, the rate of wages or earnings per hour of the employee, and
the number of pairs of shoes worked on per hour, by the employee,
in a representative shoe factory.
The table presents most forcibly the minute specialization of work
in a modern shoe factory, the many hands through which a shoe
passes in the course of manufacture, the great number of repetitions
of a single operation in an hour, and the comparatively short time
consumed, and the small labor cost in the making of a pair of shoes.
The total time cost, as shown by the total at tne end of the table,
for making 100 pairs of shoes is, in this establishment, 8,560.10
minutes, or 142.7 hours, and the total labor cost $36.7761. Reduced
to a single pair of shoes, the time cost is 1 hour and 26 minutes, and
the labor cost $0,368. One man in one hour makes seven-tenths
of a pair of shoes.
Under each department of the factory the occupations are given
in the order of the operation. At the end of each department are
shown the cost of “ daywork” and of “ organization.” The “ day
work” includes operations that can not be carried under a piecerate system nor easily separated into specific individual operations.
“ Organization” includes the work of superintendents, assistants,
foremen, laborers, clerks, firemen, and others whose work is more or
less general, the cost of which has been apportioned to the several
departments according to the amount of time determined as devoted
to each.
The column “ Time cost” shows the time in minutes required for
one person to perform the work of the occupation on 100 pairs of
shoes. The “ labor cost” is the amount paid for the work done by
the operator in the time given in the time-cost column.
The hourly wages is the amount earned per hour by the employee
in the occupation named.
The number of pairs worked on per hour is the number of pairs
of shoes for which the given operation is performed in one hour.
To illustrate: The first operation in oraer of process in the upperleather department is that of “ tongue cutter.
It requires 36.65
minutes for this operator to cut the tongues for 100 pairs of welt
shoes of a given style, and for this work he is paid $0.1519. This
amount is equivalent to an hourly rate of $0.2487, and, in one hour
the operator will cut the tongues for 163.71 pairs of shoes.
