UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
MAY 1, 1915.
SUMMARY.
This bulletin presents the union scale of wages and hours of labor
prevailing on May 1, 1915, in the principal trades and occupations in
47 important industrial cities in the United States. For purposes of
comparison, the scale on May 1, 1914, is given in parallel columns.
The figures cover 676,571 union members. In an appendix a tabula
tion is given of the rates of wages and hour3 of labor in the printing
and binding trades in 26 cities, as drawn from the pay rolls of 179
representative establishments.
This is the fourth bulletin published by the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics on the subject of union scales of wages and hours of labor. The
scale for 39 cities as prevailing 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, IL913, and in Bulletin No.
171 was published the scale for 41 cities on May 1, 1914.
In preceding bulletins the detail figures were presented in two
tables. In one table the scales were given for all trades covered in
each city, and in a second table the scales in all cities were assembled
for each particular trade. Thus the same figures, rearranged only,
appeared in the two tables. As a matter of economy in printing, the
detail figures of this report are published in but one general table
entitled:
Table A.—Union scale of wages and houis of labor in each trade,
by geographical divisions and cities, on May 1, 1915, and May 1,
1914.
Should all the figures for any particular city be desired they can be
assembled from the figures shown under each trade.
The trades and occupations covered 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.

The 47 cities included in this report are located in 32 States. The
cities selected are generally the largest in their respective sections of
the country. Within these 47 cities live approximately one-fifth of
the total population, two-fifths of the urban population, and onethird of the total number of persons engaged in gainful occupations
(not including those in agricultural pursuits) in continental United
States.
The cities included are as follows:

The several trades and occupations for which the union scale is
given in this bulletin are shown in the table next following.
A few trades not appearing in Bulletin No. 131 were added in
Bulletin No. 143. In Bulletin No. 171 the scope of the inquiry was
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.
In this bulletin composition roofers, composition roofers’ helpers,
elevator constructors, elevator constructors’ helpers, and slate and
tile roofers have been added.
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 1915, as compared with each of the eight years
preceding, in all cities covered, taken collectively.

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,
and under which agreement union men actually are working. The
union scale usually fixes the limit in only one direction. It sets a
m i n i m u m 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, how
ever, some workmen, and, in some few instances, all or nearly all
workmen, actually are paid more than the scale, and, in some
instances, employees work less than the scale hours. This report
UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OP LABOR, MAY 1,1915.
9
does not include information concerning the extent to which work
men are paid more than the scale or work fewer hours than the scale,
owing to the great amount of work that wculd be required to collect
such information. As a general rule the tnion 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, or above it. Agreements sometimes provide
that old and infirm men may work for lesa 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. Some trades are not organized in certain
cities, and some are organized only in purt. When organized in
part, with a scale in force for such men as are organized, the scale
is published.
The union scales presented in this report are almost entirely timerate scales. Piece-rate scales are published for compositors, linotype
operators, and lathers only. These occupations have simple units of
payment which are commonly understood. Some trades, especially
the metal trades, work to a considerable 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. 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 comparison
easy, the varying rates have been reduced to both an hourly rate and
a weekly rate.
The general table showis the rates of wagesi and hours of labor, the
increase over the regular rate for overtime, Sunday, and holiday
work, and the number of months in the you* 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 table.
The information here 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 avail
able. The field work involved an interview vdth the officials of 1,689
10
BULLETIN OF THE BUBEATX OF LABOB STATISTICS.
local unions here represented. In many instances two or more calls
had to be made before the official sought could be met.
Scales for apprentices are not shown, but scales for helpers are
given in a number of trades. 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.
An inspection of the general table shows a great variation for some
occupations in trade terms and classifications in the different cities.
For example, bakers in some cities are classed as first hands, second
hands, and third hands; in other cities as mixers, benchmen, oven
men, etc. In many cities there are separate unions and scales of
bakers baking different kinds of bread, as ordinary bread (often
known as German bread), Hebrew bread, Italian bread, etc. The
difference in occupation name makes a comparison between cities
very difficult. Further inquiry has shown that the terms first hand,
second hand, etc., do not cover identical work in 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 of each city,
but it is suggested that the wage figures here published would be of
far greater service to the unions, the employers, and the general
public as well if the national organization of all the locals would
adopt a standard classification of bakeries and of bakery trade or
occupation terms. There are great variations in classification and
in the extent of subdivision in bookbinding and in presswork, making
comparison of city with city quite difficult; and similar conditions,
less in degree, are found in several other trades.
RELATIVE RATES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR.
To show for all cities taken collectively the changes that have
occurred from year to year a table of relative numbers has been
computed for each trade included in the report, covering each year
back to 1907 or as far back as the bureau has figures. These relative
numbers are simply percentages indicating the per cent that the
actual figures for each year were of the actual figures for 1915. In
this table the wages per hour, the regular working hours per week,
and the rates of wages per week on full time for 1915 were taken as
the basis, or 100. Thus, in the table that follows, the average rate
of wages per week on full time for all bakers in 1907 was 82 per cent
of what it was in 1915. In 1908 it was 85 per cent of what it was
in 1915, etc.
These relative numbers were computed from the actual wages and
hours in all the localities covered. Figures were not used from such
UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOUKS OF LABOR, MAY 1, 1915.
11
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.
It should be kept clearly in mind that the relative numbers in
Table 2 are percentages—not actual hours o r amounts of money. In
studying this table the three parts thereof should be observed. Thus,
referring again to bakers for illustration, it is seen that the relative
hours decrease from 112 in 1907 to 100 in 1915, and that the relative
rates of wages per hour increase from 74 in 1907 to 100 in 1915. The
reduction in hours in part offsets the increase in the wages per week,
making the increase in the relative rates of wages per week from 82
in 1907 to 100 in 1915.
A 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 per week of bakers in 1907 was 82 as compared
with 100 in 1915, making an increase of 18 points in the relative
number. Eighteen is 22 per cent of 82, thus making the increase in
1915 over 1907, 22 per cent, as shown in Table 1.

GENERAL INDEXES OF UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS
OF LABOR AND OF RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD.
A table is now presented showing index numbers for union scales
for all of the trades and occupations in the several industries covered,
taken as a whole. Also in the table there are presented index num
bers for retail prices of food, in order that the change in wages and
hours of labor and of retail prices of food may be compared from year
to year.
The union scale indexes are computed from the s c a l e s appearing in
this and preceding bulletins on the subject. The method of compu
tation is the same as that used in computing the relative numbers for
each of the several occupations.
The food price index is based on the retail prices of the principal
articles of food as published in Bulletin 197 and earlier bulletins
concerning retail prices. An investigation made by the bureau in
1901 showed that the expenditure for food constituted at that time
about 43 per cent of the total expenditure of the workingman’s
family.

The table above shows an advance in the retail prices of food
considerably greater than in rates of wages per hour and in full-time
weekly wages. Rates of wages per hour advanced from a relative
of 87 in 1907 to 100 in 1915, an increase of 15 per cent. Retail
prices of food advanced from a relative of 81 in 1907 to 100 in 1915,
an advance of 23 per cent. The advance in weekly wages between
1907 and 1915 was less than in rates of wages per hour, because of
the reduction of hours during the period.
From the basic figures used in the preparation of the above table,
another table has been prepared, presenting indexes of the purchas
ing power of wages as expended for food. As wages advance more
food can be bought by wages if food remains the same in price. If
food advances and wages remain stationary, the quantity of food
purchasable by wages diminishes, and if wages and food advance in
an equal extent, the amount of food purchased by wages remains
the same. These statements are axiomatic but need to be kept
clearly in mind in studying the following table. While wages and
food have both advanced between 1907 and 1915, the advance in the
retail price of food has been greater, hence the diminishing purchas
ing power of wages shown in the table.

In the preparation of the above indexes of rates of wages, hours of
labor, and retail prices of food, the numbers were extended to one
decimal place for closer accuracy in computation, but in the table
published the decimals of the indexes have been dropped, so that the
indexes appear as whole numbers. An index number, however, is, as
before stated, a percentage computed from the actual figures for each
year compared with the base year. In the preceding table 1915 is
made the base.
As some readers may desire to start with 1907 as the base year and
make comparison of each later year therewith, two tables of index
numbers computed from the same basic figures are given with 1907
taken as the base or 100.

APPENDIX.
WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE PRINTING AND BINDING
TRADES.
At the request of the Joint Committee on Printing of the Congress
of the United States, a special investigation was made in the summer
and fall of 1915 of wages and hours of labor in specified occupations in
the printing and binding trades as drawn from the records of 179 rep
resentative establishments in 26 cities. This information, together
with the union wage scales for the same occupations and the same
cities, was presented to the committee in a special report.
All of the union wage figures given in such special report will be
found in the general table of this bulletin. The two principal tables
compiled from the establishment pay-roll data are reproduced here
that they may be available for general distribution.
The material obtained from the employing establishments, like the
union wage data, was obtained by special agents of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in personal visits. The number of establishments
covered in each of the 26 cities was as follows:

It was not practicable to obtain information from all establishments
in each city visited. To have done so would have involved more
work than was contemplated by the request of the committee and an
expense that could not have been incurred by the bureau. It is
believed, however, that a sufficient number of establishments and
employees were covered to furnish fairly representative figures for
each city. The agents were instructed to make a general inquiry in
each city before beginning the collection of data and to select such
establishments as, taken collectively, would represent each city as a
222

whole. More employees were covered in a few of the larger cities of
the East than in cities of the South and West.
The two tables reproduced are:
1. Classified and average rates of wages per hour in each occupation
by cities, in 1915, from establishment pay rolls.
2. Full-time hours of labor per week in each trade, by cities, in 1915,
from establishment pay rolls.
Table 1 shows by occupations the number of employees in each city
earning each classified rate of wages per hour. The classification is
made in one-cent groups, hence the grouping is so small that the pre
sentation is practically as satisfactory as a tabulation of actual rates
in detail. In addition, the average rate of wages per hour is given for
each city. Table 2 gives the number of employees in each city
grouped according to their full-time hours of labor per week.
The figures for newspaper and book and job offices are presented
separately. In newspaper offices a further division is made of day
and night workers. The book and job figures relate to daywork.
There is so little regular nightwork in book and job offices that the
fragmentary data do not warrant presentation.
Data are given in these two tables for such occupations as were
enumerated in the request of the congressional committee. In addi
tion, all other occupations in the printing and binding trades were
covered and combined in one group under the term “ Miscellaneous.”
In many cities some of the minor occupations named in the commit
tee’s letter have no separate union scale, the employees in' such lines
of work being covered by the scale of the general trade. A like condi
tion was found in many establishments, the work of a minor occupa
tion being performed incidentally by an employee in connection with
his primary work. For example, very few imposers were found, the
work of this occupation being similar to that of makers-up. The
work in both of these occupations, as well as that of some other occu
pations, may be done by the foreman or a compositor in connection
with the work of his regular occupation.
