UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
1907 TO 1912.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
This study shows the union scale of wages and hours of labor for
more than 40 trades in 39 important industrial cities throughout the
United States. The 39 cities covered are those included in the
Bureau's study of retail prices (Bulletins Nos. 105, 106, 108, 110,
113, and 115), and within these cities live one-fifth of the total
number of people in continental United States. Data, as far as
available, are shown for each of the six years, 1907 to 1912.
The wage scales published in this report are all for time rates. In
some localities certain trades have piece-rate scales which it was not
deemed practicable to publish. In other localities there were nominal
time rates which have not been published, as they were not representa
tive of actual earnings under prevailing piece rates and bonuses.
The trades for which data are presented are listed in the table below.
This table shows the per cent of change in hours per week and in
rates of wages per hour between 1907 and 1912.
For the purpose of computing the per cent of increase or decrease
in hours of labor and rates of wages and also for the purpose of com
puting relative hours of labor and relative rates of wages for any
trade, the hours of labor and the rate of wages in the particular trade
in 1907 has been considered equal to 100.0. Thus a trade for which
the scale of wages was 25 cents an hour in 1907 and 35 cents an hour
in 1912 shows an advance of 40 per cent, while a trade for which the
scale of wages was 50 cents an hour in 1907 and 60 cents an hour in
1912 shows an advance of 20 per cent. The advance per hour in both
instances was 10 cents, but, by reason of the different level of wages
in 1907, the advance was in the first case 40 per cent and in the second
case 20 per cent.

[The figures of this table are based on a comparison of the rates of wages on May 15 each year, and the
hours prevailing during the whole year, any change in hours, if for more than three months during the
year, being taken into consideration. The per cent of change for each city was given a weight equal to tha
approximate number of union employees in the trade in that city.]

UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1907 TO 1912.
The next table shows the course of hours per week and rates of
wages per hour during the period from 1907 to 1912, inclusive. For
each trade the hours per week and the rate of wages per hour in 1907 ,
are considered the base or 100.0. In arriving at the relative hours or
rate of wages per hour for each trade, the relative for each city was
first computed and then the relatives for all cities included were
combined by giving to the relatives for each city a weight equal to the
approximate number of union employees in the trade in the city.
The approximate number of union employees in 1911 was used for
1907 to 1911, inclusive, and the approximate number in 1912 was
used for 1912.
RE LA TIV E HOURS OF LABOR PE R W E E K AND R E LATIVE RATES OF WAGES PER
HOUR, COMPUTED FROM UNION SCALES, 1907 TO 1912.
[In computing relative hours, comparison was made of the hours for each year, taking into consideration
any change of hours provided for in the union scale if for more than three months during the year. In
commuting the relative rates of wages, comparison was made of the rate on May 15 of each year. The
relative number for each city was given a weight equal to the approximate number of union employees in
the trade in that city.]

The 39 cities included in this report are important industrial cities
representing 32 States. In a general way the city selected in each
section of the country was the city having the largest population in
that section; but, in addition, two smaller cities were included—
Fall River, which is a textile center in Massachusetts, and Scranton,
which is situated in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania.
Within the 39 cities live one-fifth of the total number of people, twofifths of the urban population, and approximately one-third of the
total number engaged in gainful occupations (not including those in
agricultural pursuits) in continental United States.
The cities included are as follows:
North Atlantic division:
Boston, Mass.
Buffalo, N. Y .
Fall River, Mass.
Manchester, N. H.
Newark, N. J.

The data for 1907 to 1912 were in every case furnished by officials
of local unions to special agents of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
and wage scales, written agreements, and trade-union records were
used whenever available.
Two general tables present the detailed information for 1907 to
1912. The scales of wages and hours here presented for each locality
are those which have been accepted by all or a part of the employers
in the locality. Union scales in practically all cases establish mini
mum wages (that is, wages below which union men will not work)
and maximum hours of work (that is, hours above which union
men will not work at the usual rate of pay). In each of these tables
the rate of wages per hour, when the union scale provides for other
than an hourly rate, was computed by dividing the wage per day or
week by the number of hours per day or week. The rate of wages
and the hours of labor entered are for May 15, and where a different
number of hours is worked for more than three months during the
year, this fact has been noted in connection with the entry.
. The first of the two detailed tables arranges the information by
cities, and shows under each city the data, as far as available, for
each trade. In this table the 39 cities are arranged alphabetically.
The second detailed table arranges the information by trades, and
shows under each trade the data, as far as available, for each city.
In this table the cities are arranged alphabetically under geographical
divisions.
In the tables the trades have been arranged alphabetically under
the following general trade groups, although some of the trades, such
for instance as sheet-metal workers, include employees outside the
general group.
Bakery trades.
Building trades.
Marble and stone trades.
Metal trades.
Printing trades, book and job.
Printing trades, newspaper.

RELATIVE HOURS OF LABOR PER WEEK AND RELATIVE RATES OF
WAGES PER HOUR IN CERTAIN TRADES, 1890 TO 1907.
For a number of the trades for which data are included in this
report, the Bureau formerly secured information from the pay rolls
of employers in some 60 cities.
The last publication containing data as to these trades, secured
from employers, was Bulletin No. 77 (July, 1908) ^ The next table
shows for such trades as are included both in Bulletin No. 77 and in
this report, relative hours per week and relative rates of wages per
hour during the 18-year period, 1890 to 1907.
