UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
MAY 1, 1914.
SUMMARY.

This Bulletin presents the union scale of wages and hours of labor
prevailing on May 1, 1914, in the principal trades and occupations
in 41 important industrial cities in the United States. For purposes
of comparison, the scale on May 15, 1913, is given in parallel columns.
This is the third Bulletin published by the Bureau of Labor Sta­
tistics on the subject of union scales of wages and hours. The scale
for 39 cities on May 15 of each year from 1907 to 1912 was published
in Bulletin No. 131. In Bulletin No. 143 was published the scale for
40 cities on May 15, 1913, with the scale on May 15, 1912, shown in
comparison. Two cities have been added to the 39 first covered—
St. Paul, Minn., and Springfield, 111.
The detail figures of this report are published in two general tables
entitled:
Table I.—Union scale of wages and hours of labor in each city, by
trades, on May 1, 1914, and May 15, 1913 (pp. 19 to 161).
Table II.—Union scale of wages and hours of labor in each trade,
by geographical divisions and cities, on May 1, 1914, and May 15,
1913 (pp. 162 to 318).
The figures for each city appearing in Table I are repeated in Table
II, where all of the figures from the several cities relating to a trade
are brought together.
The trades and occupations are divided into 11 groups, as follows:
Bakery trades.
Brewery and bottling-house workmen.
Building trades.
Chauffeurs, teamsters, and drivers.
Freight handlers.
Granite and stone trades.




Metal trades.
Millwork.
Printing and publishing: Book and job.
Printing and publishing: Newspaper.
Soft-drink establishment employees.

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

The 41 cities included in this report are located in 32 States. The
cities selected are generally the largest in their respective sections of
the country. Three cities are selected for special industrial reasons—
Fall River, Mass., a textile center; Scranton, Pa., an important city
in the anthracite coal region; and Springfield, 111., a city in the bitu­
minous coal district. Within these 41 cities live approximately onefifth of the total population, two-fifths of the urban population, and
one-third of the total number of persons engaged in gainful occupa­
tions (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.

All of the above cities are included in the Bureau’s reports on retail
prices. The several trades and occupations for which the union scale
is given in this Bulletin are shown in the table next following.
A few additional trades were added in Bulletin No. 143. In this
Bulletin the scope of the inquiry has been materially enlarged, four new
groups of occupations being included: Brewery and bottling-house
workmen; chauffeurs, teamsters, and drivers; freight handlers; and
soft-drink establishment employees. The table that follows shows
for each trade and for each year for which data are available the per
cent of increase in rates of wages per week on full time in 1914, as
compared with each of the seven years preceding, in all cities covered
taken collectively.

3 Per cent lower in 1914 than in 1912.

The union scale, as the term is here used, is a definite statement,
either written or oral, of wages and hours of labor agreed to by an
organization of union men and an employer or group of employers,
under which union men actually are working.
The 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 scale. In certain cities and trades,
however, some workmen, and, in some few instances, all or nearly
all workmen actually are paid more than the scale, and, in some in­
stances, employees work less than the scale hours. This report
does not include information concerning the extent to which work­



UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 1/1914.

9

men are paid more than the scale or work fewer hours than the scale,
owing to the great amount of work that would be required to collect
such information. As a general rule the union scale represents the
prevailing wage of a locality for efficient labor.
It is sometimes found that a union has asked for a certain standard
scale, but has not actually obtained it. Such proposed scales are
omitted from this report. No scale is published here unless it is so
far established that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union
are receiving the scale. Agreements frequently provide that old and
infirm men may work for less than the scale. In this report there
are many more cases in which union members receive more than the
scale than cases where any members of the union are not receiving
the scale.
The union scales presented in this report are almost entirely timerate scales. Piece-rate scales are published only for compositors,
linotype operators, and lathers.
These trades have simple units of payment which are commonly
understood. Some trades, especially the metal trades, work to a con­
siderable extent on piece rates. Such piece rates are so great in
number and the units of payment so variable that it is not practicable
to quote them. The earnings at piece rates usually exceed the full­
time earnings at the time rates of the trade. For localities where
piece rates prevail almost exclusively and the time rate provided for
in the scale is only infrequently paid, such time rate has not been
tabulated.
The time scales as originally reported state wages for different
units of time. Under some scales the rates of wages are by the
hour, others by the day, and others by the week. To make compari­
son easy the varying rates have been reduced to both an hourly rate
and a weekly rate.
Tables I and II in this Bulletin are more comprehensive than the
corresponding tables in preceding Bulletins on this subject. Here­
tofore the Bulletin has presented only rates of wages per hour and
hours of labor per week. This Bulletin gives, in addition, the rate
of wages per week for full time, hours of labor per full day, and the
increase over the regular rate for overtime, Sunday, and holiday
work; also the number of months in which there was a Saturday
half holiday.
When for a period of more than three months of a year, the number
of hours differed from those shown for May, the difference has been
noted in the tables, whenever a definite report was made of such
difference in hours, and when for a period of one month or more the
hours differed from those shown for May, by reason of the Saturday
half-holiday, the difference is shown in the tables, by number of
months, whenever such difference in hours was definitely reported.



10

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.

The information published was obtained by special agents of the
Bureau by personal visits to business agents and secretaries of the
respective unions in the several cities.
Wage scales, written agreements, and trade-union records were
consulted wherever available.
RELATIVE RATES OF WAGES AND HOURS OP LABOR.

For all of the trades included in the report a table of relative
numbers has been computed, covering all of the trades and years
back to 1907 for which the Bureau has figures. The table appears on
pages 11 to 18. These relative numbers are simply percentages indi­
cating the per cent that the actual figures for each year were of the
actual figures for 1914. In this table the wages per hour, the regular
working hours per week, and the rates of wages per week on full
time for 1914 were taken as the basis or 100. Thus, in the table
below, the average rates of wages per week on full time for all bakers
in 1907 were 83 per cent of what they were in 1914. In 1908 they
were 85 per cent of what they were in 1914, etc. These relative
numbers were computed from the actual wages and hours in all the
localities covered. Figures were not used from such unions as did
not have comparable data for at least two consecutive years. The
actual wages and hours for each city were weighted (multiplied) by
the number of members in the union in such city, and the products
for the several cities were added together, producing aggregate
wages and hours for the trade in each of the several years. From
these aggregates the relative numbers were derived. This method
of computation differs from that used in the preceding Bulletin,
hence some slight variations may exist in the comparative showing
of the relative numbers for the years preceding 1914, as all the data
for the preceding years have been recomputed by the present method.
In studying this table the three parts should be kept in mind.
Thus, referring again to bakers for illustration, it is seen that the
relative hours decrease from 112 in 1907 to 100 in 1914, and that the
relative rates of wages per hour increase from 75 in 1907 to 100 in
1914. The reduction in hours in part offsets the increase in the wages
per hour, making the increase in the relative rates of wages per hour
from 83 in 1907 to 100 in 1914.
A word of caution is given as to the use of these relative numbers.
A subtraction of relative numbers does not represent the per cent of
increase or decrease between the different years. For example, the
relative rate of wages of bakers in 1907 was 83 as compared with 100
in 1914, making an increase of 17 points in the relative number.
Seventeen is 20 per cent of 83, thus making the increase in 1914 over
1907, 20 per cent.



11

UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 1, 1914.

Some changes have been made in trade grouping. Especially is
this true for bakers. In some cities bakery employees are classed
as first, second, and third hands, but the duties of these respective
classes are not always the same in different cities, so that the defini­
tions of terms are not always exact. In other cities such terms are
not used, but bakery employees are known as benchmen, oven men,
mixers, etc. In previous Bulletins an attempt was made to classify
benchmen, oven men, mixers, etc., as first hands, second hands, and
third hands. Such a classification is so unsatisfactory, however,
that in this report it has been deemed advisable to designate all
employees as bakers and show the actual trade name of the subdivi­
sions of this trade in each city.
The Bureau in its publication of union scales has not shown scales
for apprentices, but has given the scales for helpers in a number of
trades. In some trades the work of helpers is performed in part by
apprentices. The occupation of electric wiremen’s helper, carried
in preceding Bulletins, is omitted here because the work is so largely
done by apprentices. Foundry laborers have also been omitted
because they are found in only a few cities.

APPENDIX.
It is intended ultimately to include as an Appendix to this bulletin
on union scale of wages and hours of labor all piece-rate or time-rate
scales that are uniform throughout the United States in all establish­
ments having wage agreements with the organized workmen in the
industry represented. Good examples of the class of union wage
scales here referred to are the window-glass and glass-bottle blowers’
scales. The piece rates are the same in all window-glass and glassbottle establishments having wage agreements with the national labor
organizations, regardless of the location of the establishment. This
is true also of the wage scale in the pottery industry, but inasmuch as
there has been no change in this scale since 1907, its reproduction in
this Appendix does not seem to be called for.
The difference in method of treatment of material in this Appendix
as compared with that adopted for the body of the bulletin grows out
of the inherent difference in the material. The wage rates here pre­
sented are coextensive with the industry, whereas the scales in the
body of the bulletin are local; the scales here dealt with are for piece
rates, those in the body of the report are time rates. Uniformity in
method of presentation is, therefore, impracticable. Even should it
happen that in some industries time rates coextensive with the in­
dustry can be shown, their presentation in this Appendix will require
different treatment from that of the localized scales shown in the body
of the report. In certain industries, like window glass, iron and steel,
and probably others, the rates for certain occupations depend upon
those for other and more basic occupations. In the manufacture of
window glass, for instance, the gatherer and flattener get a stated
percentage of the rate paid for blowing; in iron and steel the rollers’
rate is made the base from which to compute rates for other occupa­
tions.
WAGE SCALES IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES.
W INDOW GLASS INDUSTRY.
The National Window Glass Workers have had wage-scale agreements with their
employers since 1879. Agreements exist with practically all the establishments ex­
cept those blowing window glass by machine processes. Beginning with 1909, com­
petition with the machine made serious inroads upon the scale. In the first column
of the table below (Sept. 1,1908, to Feb. 27,1909), is shown the rate for blowing single­
strength glass by *‘ brackets, ’ ’ as that rate had existed for some years. By *‘ brackets ” is
meant glass cut to sizes within certain ranges. The blower aims to so blow a cylinder




319

320

APPENDIX.

that it will cut the largest possible sizes, since the larger the sizes, the higher the rate
per 100 feet of glass. The cutter’s duty is to cut to the largest sizes the defects in the
sheets will permit. In 1908 the old bracket classification existed; that is, the first
bracket (single-strength glass), any size from 8 by 10 to 10 by 15 inches, contained the
smaller sheets and paid the lowest price, 36 cents per 100 feet. The second bracket,
10 by 16 inches to 16 by 24 inches, paid 46 cents; and so on to the highest designated
sizes in the last bracket, 24 by 37 inches to 26 by 40 inches, which paid 86 cents; all
larger sizes left unspecified and paid $1 per box of 100 feet.
Up to this time, 1908, the commercial qualities A and B had not been written into
the workmen’s scale. Sheets of double-strength glass not considered salable by the
cutter were set aside as “ grinders,’ Ji. e., to be ground or “ frosted” and sold when
semiopaque glass could be utilized.
The upheaval in the industry in 1909, caused principally though perhaps not entirely
by the uncertainty as to the effect of machine-made glass upon the market, resulted in
a complete recast of the scale. All the landmarks of the trade were lost. The com­
mercial qualities of market glass known as A and B were passed on the workmen and
read into his wage scale. The brackets were abolished for single-strength glass and a flat
rate paid per 100 feet of blown glass, regardless of sizes into which it could be cut. The
rate for single-strength A was 42 cents and for B 40 cents. In the double-strength
scale two brackets were permitted to remain, but these were made to cover a much
wider range of sizes than formerly, as will be noted from the table presented. This
scale was made effective February 27,1909; that is to say, in the middle of a “ fire’ ’ or
working year.
At the beginning of the next “ fire” a new scale, effective September 1 , 1909, par­
tially restored the brackets, at least revived the principle of bracket payment. In this
scale the two lowest brackets of the 1908 scale were combined to make the small
bracket, i. e., 6 by 8 to 16 by 24; the old third bracket was made to read 16 by 25 to
24 by 36, which was an entirely new classification; the old fourth and fifth brackets
with “ all above” were combined into a new third bracket.
The next scale, effective October 15, 1910, revised the brackets, increased the rates
on specified bracket sizes, and restored the “ all above’ ’ principle. It secured $1 per
100 feet for ‘ 1 above ’ ’ bracket sizes in the B quality, which was the price of ‘ ‘ allabove’ 9
all
in the 1908 and prior scales. This was practically as good a scale for the workmen as
obtained in 1908. It did not, however, continue during the working year or “ fire” ;
a new midyear agreement, being effective January 24,1911, went back to the bracket
conditions and piece rates established by the scale effective September 1 , 1909, and
that scale remained unchanged by subsequent agreements up to October 27, 1913.
This last-mentioned agreement entirely revised the brackets, elaborated them beyond
anything theretofore obtaining in the industry, and increased the piece rates somewhat,
but not enough to equal the rates in 1908. The scale of October 27,1913, was renewed
in 1914 and is the present scale.
The period covered by the tables here presented represents the most disturbed and
turbulent era in the wage-scale history of the industry in the United States, 1908
marking the last year of the old steady rates, 1909 the beginning of the disturbance of
rates, and 1913 and since, the apparent settling down to a new basis.
While this analysis has dealt more directly with the first table showing rates for
blowing single-strength glass, it has, it is believed, given a sufficiently clear explana­
tion to enable readers to follow the table of rates for double-strength blowing.
Single-strength glass means glass that measures about 13 lights to the inch in thick­
ness and weighs 100 pounds to the box of 100 square feet.
Double strength measures 8 lights to the inch and weighs about 130 pounds per 100
square feet.
Single and double strengths were the only weights blown in the United States up
to a few years ago, when the extended use of lightweight plate glass made it impera­




321

APPENDIX.

tive for window-glass establishments to produce a thicker glass to hold the building
trade. Quite recently, therefore, triple-strength, or glass weighing 32 ounces to the
square foot, is being generally made; and occasionally much heavier than triple is
blown, the scale providing for glass weighing 39 ounces, 42 ounces, and even 52
ounces to the square foot. A 29-ounce glass, just between double and triple strength,
has also been provided for in the scale. This glass runs seven lights to the inch. Since
the piece rates of other occupations in the industry depend upon the scale for blowers,
the agreement between employers and employees for 1914-15 is here reproduced in
full as giving a more complete view of the present status of the industry:
WAGE SCALE OF THE NATIONAL WINDOW GLASS WORKERS.
(Effective October 31,1914, expiring May 29,1915; agreed upon by the National Window Glass Work­
ers and Manufacturers Wage Committee, Cleveland, October 10,1914. For blast o f 1914-15).

The undersigned manufacturer of glass, located a t ---------r, agrees to the following
wage scale and conditions:

1 . On the prices specified in the above brackets there shall be paid an advance of
5 per cent. It is also understood and agreed that future advances on this scale shall
be computed on the basis of the above brackets after the 5 per cent advance has been
added. And be it further agreed that for every point of discount that glass sells above
90-17 single strength and 90-21 double strength, wages shall be advanced 1£ per cent
as above specified.
2. The basis of wages from date of this scale up to and including November 26th
or 27th, 1914, shall be the before-specified scale. For each succeeding four weeks
settlement shall be made on the basis of sales as shown by report for previous settle­
ment period.
Sworn monthly statements showing scales [sales] of glass during the four weeks preced­
ing shall be submitted not later than three days after the close of each settlement period
by the secretary of the National Window Glass Manufacturers’ Association. The
National Window Glass Workers shall have full privilege to examine the books and
records of the secretary of the National Window Glass Manufacturers’ Association in
order to verify statements that are submitted.^
The wage commissioners for the National Window Glass Workers shall be appointed
by either the national president or executive board of the National Window Glass
Workers, and shall meet at the call of the president as soon after the close of each
settlement as possible and tabulate sales reports submitted by the secretary of the
National Window Glass Manufacturers’ Association. The average selling discount
91780°— Bull. 171— 15------ 21




322

APPENDIX.

shall be ascertained from the gross and net sales and a general average of these dis­
counts shall be taken as the selling price for the settlement upon which basis settle­
ment shall be made for the ensuing four weeks as specified in section 1 , art. 1 of
this wage scale. In such general average less than one-fourth per cent shall be dropped
from consideration, and one-fourth to one-half per cent shall be counted as one-half
per cent.
3. Gatherers shall receive 80 per cent as much as blowers’ wages for both single and
double in all sizes.
4. Flatteners shall receive 27 per cent as much as blowers’ wages.
5. Cutters shall be paid for cutting single strength 24-6 10c. per box of 100 square
feet; for double strength, 32c. per box of 100 square feet.
6. All triple strength or 32-ounce glass shall be paid for as follows:
Blowers’ wages per 100-foot box, up to and including 16x24, $1.90; all above 16x24,
$2.15.
All triple blown containing 110 or more united inches, $4 per box.
Gatherers, 75 per cent as much as blowers’ wages.
Flatteners, 27 per cent as much as blowers’ wages.
Cutters shall be paid for cutting 32 oz., 34 oz., and 36 oz., 50c. per box of 100 square
feet, with price and one-half for all fractional sizes booked 16x16 and under, exceeding
7J boxes for each pot or place per week. For cutting 39 oz., 60c. per box of 100 square

APPENDIX.
GLASS BOTTLES.

The Glass Bottle Blowers’ Association (workmen’s union) and the various glass
manufacturers’ associations representing their employers have had wage-scale agree­
ments for considerably over a quarter of a century. There had been but little change
in piece rates in the hand-blowing prescription ware department for years prior to
1912. The machine-blowing establishments had succeeded in breaking the price on
fruit jars, milk jars, and the larger wide-mouth ware generally, and had forced the
establishment of machine wage scales, which, while leaving the old flint prescription
rates in the printed book of rates, nevertheless transferred the work to the machines.
As an instance of what is here meant, it will be noted that “ milk jars” are listed in
the following table showing hand-blowers’ rates at $1.72 per gross for quart jars. This
is the hand rate, but as a matter of fact few or none are now hand blown, and the
same articles are found in the next table, or machine operators’ rates, at 38 cents per
100 bottles.
The machine was not, however, at first a brilliant success in the production of
narrow-mouth druggist prescription bottles of the smaller sizes; and while the com­
petition was severe, the workmen were able to force the manufacturers to stand the
brunt of it without its being reflected in the wage scale. In 1912, however, the work­
men accepted a reduction on 3-ounce bottles and above, but still insisted that on
sizes under 3-ounce the competition of the machine was not serious and must be met
and borne by the manufacturers. In the 1914-15 scale a reduction was accepted on
the smaller-sized bottles.
HAND RATES.

The following table shows for the hand-blown prescription ware division of the
industry the piece rates per gross paid to blowers from 1907 to 1915. The selection
of articles to be included in this table was made with a view to giving a few basic
articles, from the rate upon which any one familiar with the trade could know the
general level of rates and be able to determine very closely what the rate on any
specific article would be. Generally speaking, blowing is done in the United States
by c‘ shops”—a shop consists of three blowers and the necessary “ boy labor” to take
care of the production of these three. Two blow and one finishes, these interchanging
work occasionally. Finishing means shaping the “ neck” and putting the 4 lip” on
‘
the bottle. On all small ware the blower gathers his own glass.

MACHINE RATES.

The rates here shown are those agreed upon between the Glass Bottle Blowers’
Association and the Machine Glass Bottle and Jar Manufacturers’ Association. There
are but two machines with the users of which the union has wage-rate agreements.
At the time of writing this report the Owen’s automatic machines were not covered
by any union scale of wages. The only machines operated under union wage agree­
ments as to piece rates are the United Bottle Machine Co. of New York (a machine
originating in England) and the O’Neill narrow-mouth machine. The “ United” is
a ‘ ‘ three-man machine,” i. e., requires three men to operate it. These machines
now for the most part make beer bottles, “ minerals and sodas,” and “ Brandy 4’s ”
and “ Brandy 5’s ” with long necks.
The O’Neill, which was originally “ a two-man machine,” has now an automatic
cut-off which makes it a one-man machine.
The following table shows the rate per 100 pieces paid to machine operators from
1907 to 1915 on articles selected to show to one acquainted with the trade the general
level of rates in the industry:
