UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
MAY 15, 1916.
SUMMARY.
Organized labor received higher wages in 1916 than in any pre
ceding year. In all trades taken collectively the increase in weekly
wage rates in 1916 over 1915 was 4 per cent; over 1914, 4 per cent;
over 1910, 11 per cent; and over 1907, 16 per cent. While wage rates
have been increasing there has been a slight decrease in working time.
In 1916 the regular hours of labor decreased 1 per cent as compared
with 1915; 1 per cent as compared with 1914; 2 per cent as with 1910;
and 4 per cent as with 1907. Rates of wages per hour advanced more
than weekly wage rates because of the slight reduction in hours.
Taken collectively, rates per hour in 1916 were 4 per cent higher than
in 1915; 5 per cent higher than in 1914; 14 per cent higher than in
1910; and 19 per cent higher than in 1907.
Of 99 trades or subdivisions of trades herein reported, 80 received
an average increase in weekly rates in 1916 as compared with 1915.
In 19 trades there was no change, and no trade as a whole suffered
a decrease. The bakery trades collectively received an advance of
2 per cent. All but one of the 17 brewing trades listed in this report
received an increase ranging in the several trades from 1 to 8 per
cent. Thirty of the 37 building trades listed received an increase of
from 1 to 11 per cent. Chauffeurs, teamsters, and drivers received
an increase of 3 per cent. Freight handlers received the greatest
increase in any one occupation— 14 per cent. Granite cutters had
an increase of 4 per cent. All of the metal trades gained an increase
of from 3 per cent for blacksmiths, blacksmiths* helpers, and boiler
makers to 10 per cent for machinists. Millwork carpenters had an
increase of 3 per cent, and millwork painters (hardwood finishers)
12 per cent. In book and job printing, 9 of the 11 trades received
an increase—in no case, however, above 3 per cent. In the news
paper printing trades there wxere a few small increases; more than
half the trades had no change. In the soft-drink establishment group
the increase w^as from 1 to 5 per cent in the several occupations.

B U L L E T IN - O F T H E B U R E A U OF LABOR STA TISTICS.
The substantial increase for freight handlers was due largely to the
activities in export trade and to the hazards incident to handling
munitions. The increase of 10 per cent for machinists may be
attributed to the great increase in the volume of machine-shop work
throughout the country, both on war orders and for home use, causing
a sharp demand for skilled machinists.
The hours per week are stated in this report for 101 trades or sub
divisions of trades. Of this number, 31 trades had a reduction of
hours between 1915 and 1916, and 69 trades had no change. Only
one trade had an increase in working hours in the year, namely,
machinist operators in book and job printing.
The foregoing statements apply to each trade or subdivision as a
unit.
There are 6,096 wage quotations tabulated for 1916, of which 205
show no comparable data for 1915, either because there were no
effective scales in 1915 or because the unions were not then organized.
Out of 5,891 wage quotations for which there are comparable data
in 1915, there are only 79 instances of a reduction in weekly wage
rates between 1915 and 1916, 16 instances of reductions in rates per
hour, and 11 instances of an increase in hours of labor.
While the increase in the rates of wages of organized labor in 1916
over 1915 was greater than the increase in any one-year interval as
far back as 1907, yet the increase in 1916 fell short of the increase
in the retail prices of food in the year. In 1916 the retail price of
food as a whole was 12 per cent higher than in 1915, 11 per cent
higher than in 1914, 22 per cent higher than in 1910, and 39 per cent
higher than in 1907. As retail prices of food incre/ased to a greater
extent last year than wages, the purchasing power of wages con
sequently was reduced. From 1912 to 1915, inclusive, wages main
tained practically a uniform purchasing power, measured in food,
but the abnormal conditions of 1916, while advancing wage scales over
1915, increased retail prices of food so much more that the purchasing
power of wages declined about 6^ per cent within the year. The
figures comparing wages and retail prices are given on pages 23 to 25.
This bulletin presents in Table A, pages 25 to 241, the union scale of
wages and hours of labor prevailing on May 15, 1916, in the principal
trades and occupations in 48 important industrial cities in the United
States. The figures cover 761,039 union members. In cases where
the scale on May 1, 1915, differed from that prevailing on May 15,
1916, the 1915 scale is given in parallel columns, it being deemed
unnecessary to repeat the scale of 1915 where it was identical with
that of 1916.
In an appendix, pages 243 to 262, is given a tabulation of the
■wage scales of window glass workers and of glass bottle blowers in
the United States.

This is the fifth bulletin published by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics 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 scate for 40 cities on May 15., 1913; in Bulletin
No. 171 was published the scale for 41 cities on May 1, 1914; and in
Bulletin No. 194 was published the scale for 47 cities on May 1, 1915.
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.
Mill work.
Printing and publishing: Book and job.
Printing and publishing: Newspaper.
Soft-drink establishment employees.
The 48 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 48 cities live more than one-fifth of
the total population, nearly one-half of the urban population, and
more than one-third 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:

B U L LE T IN " OF T H E B U R E A U OF LABOR STA TISTICS.
The asterisks in the preceding list indicate the cities added since the
first report. Under each trade in the general table the cities appear
in the order as listed.
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.
A few additional trades were added in Bulletin No. 194, and in this
bulletin three trades have been included for the first time— asbestos
workers, millwrights, and bindery women.
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 1916, as compared with each of the nine years
preceding, in all cities covered, taken collectively.

No data.
The union scale, as the term is here used, is a statement, either
written or definitely understood, of wages and hours of labor agreed
to or accepted by an organization of union men and an employer or
group of employers, under which agreement, express or implied,
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 instances, employees work less than the scale
hours. This report does not include information as to the amount
received above the scale by workmen in any trade or locality, owing
to the amount of work that would be required to collect such infor
mation. As a general rule the union scale represents the prevailing
wage of a locality for efficient labor.

The number of newspaper compositors receiving less than the scale
was too small to affect the percentage figures shown.
In the printing trades of compositor and linotype operator con
tracts are found in certain cities in which there are maximum hours
stated that may not be exceeded except by payment of an overtime
rate, and a minimum of hours for which work must be provided or
payment made wiien a man undertakes a day’s work. When such
contract exists there may be further a commonly accepted working
time within the limits provided so well established that such time
is in effect the standard working day. In such instances the tabu
lation shows such actual working hours, and notes state the maxi
mum and minimum hours.
It is sometimes found that a union has asked for a certain standard
scale but has not actually obtained it or has obtained it for only
a part of its members. 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 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
receive less than the scale, as illustrated above. Some trades are
not organized in certain cities, and some are organized only in part.
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 tiinerate 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.
12
B U L L E T IN
OF T H E B U R E A U OF LABOR STA TISTICS.
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-rate scales as originally reported state wages for different
units of time. Some scales designate the rates of wages by the hour,
others by the day, week, or month. To make comparison easy, the
varying rates have been reduced to both an hourly rate and a weekly
rate.
The general table shows the rates of wages and hours of labor, the
increase over the regular rate for overtime, Sunday, and holiday
work, and the number of months in the year 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 with the officials of 1,820
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
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.
There are also 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.
General Table A, pages 25 to 241, shows 1,860 instances of changes

to wage rates, or hours, or both. A table is here given showing for
each trade group the number of changes that were made each month.
More than one-third of the changes during the 12 J month period
tookj)lace in the half month May 1 to 15, 1916, inclusive. A total of
1,455, or 78.2 per cent of the 1,860 changes, took place between
January 1 and May 15, 1916.

B U L L E T IN
OF T H E B U R E A U OF LABOR STATISTICS.
From the foregoing table it is seen that of the 146 changes reported
in the bakery trade scales, 139 effected an increase and 7 a decrease
in wages per hour; 126 resulted in an increase, 7 a decrease, and 13
no change in the earnings per week; and 23 produced a decrease
and 123 no change in the number of hours per week. The other
items of the table are read in like manner.
It is further seen that for seven trade groups all the changes in the
scale were increases in the wages per hour, and that for the four other
trade groups there were collectively only 16 instances of decreases
in wages per hour. For three trade groups all the changes were
increases in the earnings per week, and for eight trade groups there
were collectively 79 instances of decreases. For eight trade groups
all the changes were decreases in the hours per week, and for three
trade groups there were collectively only 11 instances of increases.
Expressed in percentages, of the total of 1,860 changes in the
scale, 96.4 per cent resulted in increases and 0.9 per cent decreases
in the wages per hour; 92.5 per cent made increases and 4.2 per cent
decreases in the earnings per week; and 0.6 per cent made increases
and 14.6 per cent decreases in the hours per week.
It will be observed that comparatively few of the changes made in
the scales affected hours per week, and that with only 11 exceptions
the changes made were reductions.
Each agent in his visit to a city made note of all changes subsequent
to May 15 up to the time of his visit, and each union official visited
was asked to report by letter any changes later in the year. Many
agreements contain provision for changes to take place at dates sub
sequent to that on which the agreement was made. All changes
subsequent to May 15 in the year 1916 coming to the knowledge of
the bureau are indicated by notes in General Table A, which shows
593 changes as having been made after May 15, 1'916, and before
January 1, 1917. This number constitutes 9.7 per cent of the 6,096
quotations tabulated.
Considering the 593 changes in the scale after May 15, 1916, by
trade groups, it is found that the number of changes constitutes
23.3 per cent of the wage quotations in the millwork trades; 15 per cent
in the book and job printing trades; 13.2 per cent in the metal trades;
13.1 per cent in the building trades; 12.1 per cent in the freight-handling trade; 10.3 per cent in the newspaper printing trades; 6.3 per
cent in the teaming trades; 1.3 per cent in the brewing and beer-bot
tling trades; and less than 1 per cent in the granite and stone trades.
No changes after May 15, 1916, were reported in the bakery trades or
the soft-drink occupations.
UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1916.

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, for each year back
to 1907, or as far back as the bureau has figures. These relative
numbers simply denote the percentages that the rates and hours
for each earlier year are of the rates and hours for 1916. The rates of
wages per hour, the regular working hours per week, and the rates
of wages per week on fuH time for 1916 are 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 81 per cent of the average
rate in 1916. In 1908 it was 83 per cent of the average rate in
1916, etc.
These relative numbers were derived from the actual wages and
hours in all the localities reported. All figures used are from unions
which had comparable data for at least two consecutive years. In
making the computation the actual wages and hours of each trade
in each city were weighted (multiplied) by the number of members
of the trade-union in the city, and the products for the several cities
added together, producing aggregate wages and hours for the trade
in each of the several years. The per cent of change in these aggre
gates indicates the change for the trade as a whole in the year.
It should be borne in mind that the relative numbers in Table 4
are percentages, not actual hours or amounts of money. In studying
this table its three parts should be observed. Thus, referring again
to bakers for illustration, it is seen that the relative hours per week
decreased from 113 in 1907 to 100 in 1916, and that the relative rate
of wages per hour increased from 71 in 1907 to 100 in 1916. The
reduction in hours partly offsets the increase of wages per hour; thus
the relative rates of wages per week increased from 81 in 1907 to 100
in 1916 as compared with 71 to 100*, the increase in the relative
rates of wages per hour.
Caution should be used in considering 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 81 as compared
with 100 in 1916, making an increase of 19 points in the relative
number. Nineteen is 23 per cent of 81, thus making the increase in
1916 over 1907, 23 per cent, as shown in Table 1, page 8.

U N IO N SCALE OF W AG E S AND H O U R S OF LABOR, M A Y lo , 1916.

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 the union
scales of all trades and occupations in the several industries taken as
a whole. Also in the table there are presented index numbers for
retail prices of food, in ord^r 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 scales 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 to be published in a bulletin soon to appear and
earlier bulletins concerning retail prices. An investigation made
by the bureau in 1901 showed that the expenditure for food consti
tuted at that time about 43 per cent of the total expenditure of
the workingman's family.

Table 5 shows an advance in the retail prices of food consider
ably greater than in rates of wages per hour and in full-time weekly
wages. Rates of wages per hour advanced from a relative of 84
in 1907 to 100 in 1916, an increase of 19 per cent. Retail prices
of food advanced from a relative of 72 in 190^ to 100 in 1916, an
advance of 39 per cent. The advance in weekly wages between
1907 and 1916 was less than in rates of wages per hour, because of
reduction of hours during the period.
From the basic figures used in the preparation of the above table
Table 6 has been prepared, presenting indexes of the purchasing
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 Table 6. While wages and food have
both advanced between 1907 and 1916, the advance in the retail
price of food has been greater, hence the diminishing purchasing
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 two
decimal places for closer accuracy in computation, but in the tables
published the decimals of the indexes have been dropped, so that the
indexes appear as whole numbers.
An index number is, as before stated, a percentage computed from
the actual figures for each year compared with a base year. In the
preceding table 1916 is made the base. As some readers may desire
to start the comparison with the initial rather than the terminal year
two tables of index numbers computed from the same basic figures
are given with 1907 taken as the base, or 100.

APPENDIXES.
APPENDIX A.—WAGE SCALES IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES.
I t 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 ail 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 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 LOCALITIES.
WINDOW GLASS INDUSTRY.
The National Window Glass Workers have had wage-scale agree
ments with their employers since 1879. Agreements exist with
practically all the establishments except those blowing window glass
by machine processes. Beginning with 1909, competition with ma
chine work made serious inroads upon the scale. In the first column
243
244
B U L L E T IN OF T H E B U R E A U OF LABOR STA TISTICS.
of the table on page 254 (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 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,”
i. 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 machinemade glass upon the market, resulted in a complete recast of the
scale. All the landmarks of the trade were lost. The commercial
qualities of market glass known as A and B were passed on to the work
man 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, partially 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 “ all above” bracket
sizes in the B quality, which was the price of “ all above” in the 1908
and prior scales. This was practically as good a scale for the work
men as obtained in 1908. It did not, however, continue during the
UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1916.
245
working year or “ fire” ; a new mid-year 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.
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 explanation 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 thickness 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 light
weight plate glass made it imperative 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 1916-17
is here reproduced in full as giving a more complete view of the present
status of the industry:

A r t . 20. Manufacturers shall pay snappers’ wages, and it is hereby agreed that
it is the duty of blowers and gatherers to work without snappers when it is not pos
sible for the company to secure the services of a snapper, and for such services there
shall be extra compensation paid to the blower and gatherer equaling the amount paid
a snapper.
It is also agreed by representatives of the National Window Glass Workers, parties
to this wage scale, that it shall be the duty of the blower to cap off when a snapper is
not capable of so doing.
A r t . 21. Manufacturers shall deduct from the earnings of all members of the Na
tional Window Glass Workers working for them two per cent (2% ) of the amount
earned, for dues to the National Window Glass Workers and shall, within 10 days
after each and every settlement, present a check for the full amount to the chief
preceptor, payable to the secretary of the National Window Glass Workers, together
with the names, amounts earned, and the amount paid b y each member during said
period, same to be forwarded by the chief preceptor to the national secretary. No
debt of any kind that a member contracts shall prevent the deduction of this two
per cent (2%), and any manufacturer who overpays or fails to deduct and for
ward said money for dues shall be held liable to the National Window Glass Workers
for the payment of same, whether the member has anything due him or not. This
also applies to entire earnings for boss cutters. A ll bills to be presented weekly,
with the amount earned. Said bills to have the amount of glass cut in each bracket
and the amount of A and B .
A r t . 22. The manufacturer shall deduct money from members’ wages when noti
fied to do so by the president, secretary, chief preceptor, or executive board, and the
National Window Glass Workers shall collect from its members money or transpor

an order and continues to work at his trade.
A r t . 23. In case of dispute over poor glass the blower and gatherer shall be required
to work at list wages, unless released by the manager or chief preceptor, except that
this shall not apply to stony glass, in which case the manufacturer shall pay an aver
age d a y ’s wages if he insists on having the glass worked. The gatherer and flattener
shall receive the same proportionate guaranty as the blowers’ guaranty. When a
general guaranty is given at any plant to protect the blower, gatherer, and flattener
from poor glass, it shall be made by the chief preceptor and local council, subject to
ratification b y the president or executive board. Should such guaranteed glass
amount to more than the specified guaranty, the blower, gatherer, and flattener shall
receive the benefit of the full amount of such excess. Should such guaranteed glass
amount to less than the specified guaranty, the cutter shall receive the same relative
increase as provided for the blower, gatherer, and flattener as above.
A r t . 24. Manufacturers shall pay all workmen weekly.
Members shall be paid for
a week’s work not later than the following week.
A r t . 25. Forty (40) hours shall constitute a week’s work for the blowers and gath
erers. The following system may be adopted when locals so decide: In order to do

GLASS BOTTLES.
The Glass Bottle Blowers’ Association (workmen’s union) and the
various glass manufacturers’ associations representing their employers
have had wage-scale agreements for considerably over a quarter of a
century. There had been but little change in piece rates in the. handblowing 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 competition 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 workmen
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.
There was, however, a slight increase in the rates in 1916-17 over
1914-15.
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 1917. 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 anyone 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 “ 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 occa
sionally. Finishing means shaping the “ neck” and putting the “ lip”
on the bottle. On all small ware the blower gathers his own glass.

U N IO N SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1916.
261
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 Owens automatic machines
were not covered by any union scale of wages. The only machines
operated under union wage agreements as to piece rates are those of 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 1908 to 1917 on articles selected to show to one
acquainted with the trade the general level of rates in the industry:

APPENDIX B.—UNION WAGE SCALES AND RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD IN
SIX CITIES.
In preceding pages union wage scales are shown for the years 1915
and 1916, by trades and by cities. Like figures for earlier years are
presented in preceding bulletins. Detailed and summary tables
showing the changes in retail prices of food appear in other bul
letins of the bureau. On pages 23 to 25 of this bulletin index numbers
(percentages) are given indicating the extent of change from 1907 to
1916, in wages, with all trades taken collectively, and in retail prices
of food as a group.
In this appendix to the report figures are given for certain selected
trades and for the most important articles of food, in six cities, each
year from 1907 to 1916. From these figures the union bricklayer in
Chicago, for example, can follow the change in his wage scale, year by
year, as compared with the change in the retail price of round steak,
flour, or potatoes, or of all articles of food combined.
The information is presented in three tables— two relating to wage
scales and the third to retail prices of food. The six cities covered in
each table are Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York, Pittsburgh, and
San Francisco. In the wage tables from 18 to 22 trades in the several
cities are included. Sufficient time has not been available to pre
pare like tables for all cities or all trades. Retail prices for these
cities, however, are given for all of the articles of food entering into
the bureau’s retail price index numbers.
The rates and hours in the wage tables are drawn from this and pre
ceding bulletins, supplemented in a few instances by figures taken
from unpublished material. Table 1 (p. 264) shows by index numbers
the extent of change each year, as compared with 1907, in rates of
wages per hour and per week, and in hours of labor per week, for the
trades listed in the second table taken collectively. For each year, 1907
to 1916, inclusive, Table 2 (pp. 265 to 285) shows the wage rate per
hour and per full week, and the hours of labor per week on full time
for the trades presented in the six: cities. Paralleling such figures
are relative numbers showing the relative change in each successive
year, as compared with 1907, the actual rates and hours for 1907
being taken as the base, or 100 per cent. In the table the six cities
are given in alphabetical order, and under each city the trades cov
ered are likewise presented in alphabetical order.
The retail price table (Table 3, pp. 286 to 291) is divided into three
sections under each city. In the first section is given the average money
263

price for each year for each article. The second section shows the
quantity purchasable for one dollar each year, and the third section
presents relative numbers (in other words, percentages) showing the
extent of change in each year as compared with 1907. These rela
tive prices are computed from the actual money prices shown in the
first section of the table.
In addition to the relative prices for each article of food, index
numbers for all articles combined are given in the column at the right
side of the table. It will be observed that all articles are not reported
for all cities. For some articles retail prices are available only for
later years. With no price quotation available for 1907 for compari
son a relative price based on 1907 of course can not be computed.
