UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
MAY 15, 1913.
GENERAL SUMMARY.
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

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 union scales presented in this report are the time-rate scales
only, except in the trades of compositors and linotype operators, for
which the piece rates per 1,000 ems are shown in addition to time rates.
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.
