This report shows the union scale of wages and hours of labor pre vailing on May 15, 1913, in the principal mechanical trades in 40 important industrial cities in the United States. Union scales in 39 cities on May 15 each year from 1907 to 1912, inclusive, for approxi mately the same trades were published in Bulletin No. 131 of this Bureau. The detail figures of this report are published in two general tables, entitled: T a b l e I.— Union scale of wages and hours of labor in each city, by trades, on May 1 5 ,1 9 1 2 and 1913 (pp. 14 to 78). T a b l e II .— Union scale of wages and hours of labor in each trade, by cities, on May 15, 1912 and 1913 (pp. 79 to 150). For comparison, the scale on May 15, 1912, is shown in parallel column with the scale on May 15, 1913. The figures appearing in Table I for each respective city are re peated in Table II, where all of the figures from the several cities relating to a trade are brought together. The trades are divided into seven groups, as follows: Bakery trades. Building trades. Granite and stone trades. Metal trades. Millwork. Printing trades, book and job. Printing trades, newspaper. The 40 cities included in this report are important industrial cities located in 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 these 40 cities live one-fifth of the total population, two-fifths 5 6 BULLETIN OF THE BUKEAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. of the urban population, and approximately one-third of the total number engaged in gainful occupations (not including those in agricultural pursuits) m continental United States. The same cities are included in the Bureau’s reports on retail prices. The cities included are as follows: North Atlantic States: Boston, Mass. Buffalo, N. Y. Fall River, Mass. Manchester, N. H.

New Orleans, La. Western States: Denver, Colo. Los Angeles, Cal. Portland, Oreg. Salt Lake City, Utah. San Francisco, Cal. Seattle, Wash. The union scale, as the term is here used, is a definite statement of wages and hours of labor agreed to by an employer and an organiza tion of union men and under which union men actually are working. The union scale fixes the limit in only one direction. It establishes a minimum wage below which a member of the union will not work and a maximum of hours beyond which he will not work at the regular rate of pay. This report shows such minimum wages and maximum hours as are established in the scale. In certain cities and trades, however, workmen are paid more than the union scale, and in some instances employees work regularly less than the scale of hours. This report does not include information concerning the extent to which workmen 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. The trades for which the union scale is given in this Bulletin are shown in the following table. This table gives, for each trade, per centages indicating the change in rates of wages in a full week in 1913 as compared with rates of wages in a full week in each pre ceding year back to 1907 in all cities covered, taken collectively. The year 1907 was the first for which the Bureau collected figures concerning the union scales of the country. This table is computed from the relative weekly rates of wages on full time appearing in the table on page 10. As an illustration, the table shows that the 7 U N IO N SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LAB OR^ M A Y 15, 1913. rates of wages of bakers (first hands) in a full week in 1913 were 3.1 per cent higher than the rates of wages in a full week in 1907, 4.2 per cent higher than the rates of wages of a full week in 1908, etc. W ith the exception of one trade, the union scales in the trades covered were higher in 1913 than in 1912, and in many of the trades a marked advance is shown in 1913 over the earlier years of the period.

The unit 1,000 ems is a standard unit and universally understood. It has not yet been feasible for the Bureau to enlarge the work and col lect piece-rate scales in other trades. In localities where piece rates prevail almost exclusively and the time rate is provided for in the scale but is only infrequently used, such time rate has not been tabu lated. The time scales state wages for different units of time: Under some scales the rate 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 an hourly rate. When, for a period of more than three months of a year, the number of hours differed from those shown for May 15, the difference has been noted in the tables. The information published was obtained by special agents of the Bureau in 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. For all of the trades covered, a table of relative numbers has been computed covering all of the years back to 1907 for which the Bureau has figures. In this table the wages per hour, the regular working hours per week, and the rates of wages per week on full time in 1913 were taken as the basis or 100, and the differences in each preceding year were indicated by percentages. Thus, in the table below, the regular full-time hours per week of bakers (first hand) in 1907 were U N IO N SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, M AY 15, 1913. 9 123 per cent of what they were in 1913. In this same occupation the rate of wages per hour on May 15, 1907, were 78.9 per cent of what they were on May 15, 1913. The increase in rates of wages per hour were nearly counterbal anced by the reduction of working hours per week, so that while the time required to make a week’s earnings was reduced the income per week would be but slightly increased. The relative rates of wages per full week in 1907 fof this occupation were 97 per cent of the rates of wages per full week in 1913. The per cent of change in full-time rates of wages per week in which 1913 is compared with each pre ceding year is shown in the table on pages 7 and 8. The rates of wages per week, full time, means the rates for a week when no time is lost and no overtime worked. The relative rates of wages per week, full time, were obtained by multiplying the relative rate of wages per hour by the relative hours of labor per week. This method was employed only to save time in the publication of the report. The relatives thus computed will vary but slightly from relatives based on averages of the actual rates per full week. In computing the relative hours of labor per week and the relative rates of wages per hour the figures for each city were given an im portance (weighted) according to the approximate total membership of the union in the city. In Bulletin No. 131 a table was given of relative hours of labor and relative rates of wages per hour, in. which the figures for 1907 were taken as the base (100). In the present Bulletin, as stated, the figures for 1913 have been taken as the base (100) and the figures for the preceding year recomputed to correspond. A study of the relative numbers shows a general tendency in all trades toward a reduction of hours of labor and an increase in the scale of wages. 10 REL OF TH E BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
