UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
MAY 15, 1918.
SUMMARY.
Organized labor received higher wages in 1918 than in any previous
year. In all trades, taken collectively, the increase in weekly wage
rates on May 15, 1918, over May 15, 1917, was 15 per cent; over 1916,
22 per cent; over 1914, 28 per cent; over 1913, 30 per cent; over
1910, 36 per cent; and over 1907, 42 per cent.
While wage rates were increased, there was a slight decrease in
working time. In 1918 the regular hours of labor had decreased 1 per
cent as compared with 1917; 2 per cent as compared with 1916; 3
per cent as compared with 1914; 3 per cent as compared with 1913;
4 per cent as compared with 1910; and 5 per cent as compared 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 1918 were 16 per cent higher than in 1917; 24 per cent
higher than in 1916; 30 per cent higher than in 1914; 33 per cent
higher than in 1913; 41 per cent higher than in 1910; and 48 per cent
higher than in 1907.
All of the 91 trades and occupations, or subdivisions and groups of
trades and occupations, herein reported received an average increase
in weekly rates in 1918 as compared with 1917. The bakery trades
collectively received an increase of 19 per cent. All of the 40 build
ing trades listed received an increase, ranging from 3 to 23 per cent.
Chauffeurs received 13 per cent and teamsters and drivers 14 per cent
increase in weekly rates. Freight handlers received an increase of
17 per cent. Granite cutters had an increase of 19 per cent and stone
cutters 6 per cent. Laundry workers gained 6 per cent. All of the
metal trades made gains, ranging from 21 per cent for coppersmiths

to 41 per cent for blacksmiths’ helpers. In millwork carpenters had
an increase of 10 per cent, glaziers 8 per cent, and painters (hard
wood finishers) 5 per cent. In book and job printing the increases
ranged from 4 per cent for electrotypers (finishers and molders) and
machinist operators to 17 per cent for press feeders. In newspaper
printing trades the increases ranged from 2 per cent for machinist
operators, on day work, to 9 per cent for pressmen, web presses, on
day work. In theatrical employment, carpenters gained 4 per cent,
electricians 5 per cent, and moving-picture operators 13 per cent.
The largest gains are shown in the group of metal trades. Black
smiths’ helpers received an increase of 41 per cent over 1917, black
smiths an increase of 37 per cent, boiler makers’ helpers an increase
of 34 per cent, and boiler makers an increase of 32 per cent, and the
group as a whole gained 30 per cent over the rates per week paid in
1917. This substantial gain may be attributed to the great increase
in the volume of machine-shop work throughout the country, both on
war orders and for other uses, causing a sharp demand for machinists
and other metal workers.
The hours per week are stated in this report for 93 trades and occu
pations, or subdivisions and groups of trades and occupations. Of
this number 35 had a reduction, 2 had an increase, and 56 had no
change in working hours between May 15, 1917, and May 15, 1918.
The foregoing statements apply to each trade, or subdivision or
group, collectively. They must not be understood, however, as
applying to each and every local union in the trade.
There are 6,191 wage quotations tabulated for 1918, of which 173
show no comparable data for 1917, either because there were no
effective scales on May 15, 1917, or because the unions were not then
organized. Of the 6,018 scales for which there were comparable data
for 1917,1,516 had not changed during the year, and 4,502 had changed
in rates or hours, or in both of these items. There are only 28
instances of a reduction in weekly earnings in 1918 as compared with
1917, 15 instances of reductions in rates per hour, and 43 instances of
an increase in hours of labor. Of the 43 instances of increase in hours
of labor, 18 occurred in the metal trades, 12 in the newspaper printing
trades, 7 in the building trades, 3 in the chauffeurs, teamsters, and
drivers’ unions, 2 in the millwork trades, and 1 in the book and job
printing trades.
The hourly rates of wages of organized labor were 16 per cent and the
full-time weekly earnings were 15 per cent higher on May 15,1918, than
on May 15, 1917. In 1918 the yearly average retail prices of food as
a whole were 15 per cent higher than in 1917, 47 per cent higher than
in 1916, 65 per cent higher than in 1914, 68 per cent higher than in
1913, 81 per cent higher than in 1910, and 105 per cent higher than in

1907.* From 1912 to 1915; inclusive, wages maintained practically a
uniform purchasing power, measured in food, but the abnormal con
ditions of 1916, while advancing wage scales over 1915, increased
retail prices of food so much more that the purchasing power of wages
declined about 7J per cent in 1916 as compared with 1915. In 1917
wage scales were still further advanced but retail prices of food
increased sufficiently to reduce the purchasing power of wages about
1 7 i
per cent in the year.
In 1918 wage scales were still further increased and retail prices of
food moved up enough to keep the purchasing power of wages at
practically the same level as it was in 1917, the purchasing power of
full-time weekly earnings remaining unchanged and the purchasing
power of hourly rates of wages increasing about 1 per cent. The
figures comparing wages and retail prices are given on pages 22 to 24.
This bulletin presents in Table A, pages 79 to 295, the union scales
of wages and hours of labor prevailing on May 15, 1918, of 826,638
union members in the principal trades and occupations in 58 impor
tant industrial cities in the United States. For ready comparison
the scales prevailing on May 15, 1917, are shown in parallel columns.
This is the seventh bulletin published by the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics on the subject of union scales of wages and hours of labor.
The scales for 39 cities as prevailing on May 15 of each year from
1907 to 1912 were published in Bulletin No. 131. In Bulletin No. 143

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 work. 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
U N IO N SCALE OF W AGES AND H O U R S OF LABOR, M A Y 15, 1918.
11
wage and maximum hours as are established by thaagreed or accepted
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.
A considerable number of increases in wages were reported as war
bonuses. In cases in which these bonuses were general, applying to
the members of a union as a body, and were to remain in effect
throughout the continuance of the war, the higher rates were tabu
lated as the scale. If the increase applied to individuals or a small
part of the union membership for a definite short time, the general
rate was tabulated as the scale and the bonuses stated in footnotes.
The rates of wages of railroad shop occupations included herein as of
May 15, 1918, are the rates awarded by the United States Railroad
Administration and not rates agreed upon by negotiation between
employers and unions in the usual way of arriving at a union scale.
The rates of wages of the trades in the rapidly growing shipbuilding
industry have been covered by awards of the United States Ship
building Labor Adjustment Board, and are not grouped in this report.
In some of the building and metal trades where the rates in the
shipbuilding plants differed from the rates in other establishments
the shipbuilding rates are shown in their respective groups and desig
nated as shipbuilding or marine work. As a general rule the union
scale represents the prevailing wage of a locality for efficient labor.
Agreements sometimes provide that old or infirm men may work
for less than the scale.
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 when 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 show's such actual working hours, and notes state the maxi
mum and minimum hours.
It wras sometimes found that a union had asked for a certain stand
ard scale but had not actually obtained it or had obtained it for only
a part of its members. No scale is published here unless it was so far
established that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union
were receiving the scale or above it. Information obtained on this
question indicates that an insignificant number of union members
were working for less than the scale, while a considerable number
were receiving more than the scale. Some trades were not organ
ized in certain cities, and some were organized only in part. When
12
B U L L E T IN OF T H E BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
organized in part, with a scale in force for such men as were 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 terms of time-rate scales as agreed to by employers and tradeunions 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 per hour, the rates per
week, full time, the rates for overtime, Sunday, and holiday work, the
regular hours for a full day, for Saturday, and for a full week, and
the number of months in the year for which the agreement provided
for a Saturday half holiday. When for a period of more than three
months of the year the number of hours differed from those shown
for May, the difference has been noted in the table.
All information here published was obtained by special agents of
this bureau in personal visits to business agents and secretaries of the
respective unions in the several cities, except in Ohio. The labor
bureau of that State collects union wage scale figures and publishes
reports on the subject. To avoid duplication of fieldwork, the Ohio
bureau consented to furnish copies of so much of their original data
as was desired by this office. All of the material collected by the
Ohio bureau was obtained by personal visits of special agents. In
the work of this bureau and of the Ohio bureau wage scales, written
agreements, and trade-union records were consulted wherever avail
able. The field work involved interviews with the officials of about
2,000 local unions. 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.
U N IO N SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, M A Y 15, 1918.
13
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. 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 of chauffeurs, teamsters, and drivers, and of book
binding and presswork occupations, making comparison of city with
city quite difficult; and similar conditions, less in degree, are found
in several other trades.
General Table A, pages 79 to 295, shows 4,502 instances of changes
in scales during the year ending May 15, 1918, either as to wage rates,
or hours, or both. A table is here given summarizing these 4,502
changes as they affected each of the three phases of the scale, wages
per hour, earnings per week, and hours per week.

~ BULLETIN* OF T H E BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
Prom the foregoing table it is seen that of the 316 changes reported
in the bakery trade scales, all effected an increase in wages per hour;
31£f resulted in an increase in the earnings per week, and 1 made no
change in earnings, the increase in the hourly rate being offset by a
reduction in the number of hours worked; and 76 produced a decrease
and 240 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 eleven trade groups all the changes in the
wages per hour were increases, and that for the one other trade
group there were only 15 instances of decreases in wages per hour.
For six trade groups all the changes in the earnings per week were
increases, and for six trade groups there were collectively but 28
instances of decreases in earnings. For five trade groups all tho
changes in the hours per week were decreases, and for six trade
groups there were collectively only 43 instances of increases in hours.
Expressed in percentages, of the total of 4,502 changes, 99.2 per
cent resulted in increases, and 0.3 per cent in decreases in the wages
per hour; 99.1 per cent made increases and 0.6 per cent decreases
in the earnings per week; and 1 per cent made increases and 21.1
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 weekr arid that with only 43 exceptions
the changes made were reductions.
Each agent in his visit to a city made note of all changes in scales
which had taken place after May 15 up to the time of his visit, and
each union official visited was asked to report by letter any changes
occurring later in the year.
Many agreements contain provisions for changes to take place on
dates subsequent to those on which the agreements were made, and
some provide for successive changes to become effective at specified
intervals until a stated limit is reached.
All changes after M&y 15 in the year 1918 coming to the knowledge
of the bureau are indicated by footnotes in General Table A.
RELATIVE RATES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR.
A table of relative numbers (percentages) has been computed to
show for all cities taken collectively the extent of the changes that
have occurred from year to year in the occupations included in tho
report. To make it convenient to compare wrar conditions with
normal conditions closely preceding the war it was deemed desirable
to use as the base, or 100, the figures for 1913 instead of the latest
year reported, as was the practice in bulletins on union wages prior
to 1917. Occupations for which the bureau has no figures as far
back as 1913 are omitted from the table, since the figures for 1913
U N IO N SCALE OF W AGES AND H O U RS OF LABOR, M A Y 15, 1918.
15
are used as a base. The change in weekly rates in such occupations
may be followed, however, in Table 1.
Referring to Table 3, which follows, it is seen that the average rate
of wages per week on full time for all bakers on May 15, 1918, was
136 per cent of the average rate in 1913, or 36 per cent higher. The
rate in 1907 was 85 per cent of the rate in 1913; thus from 1907 to
1918 the relative number changed from 85 to 136. This explanation
will apply to all the years and all the relative numbers in the table.
These relative numbers were derived from the actual wages and
hours in all the localities reported. All figures used are from local
unions which supplied comparable data. In making the computa
tions the actual wages and hours of each trade in each city for 1917
and 1918, respectively, were weighted (multiplied) by the number of
union members employed in the trade in the city in 1918. The
products for the several cities were added together for each year,
producing aggregate wages and hours for the trade in each of the
years. The per cent of change in these aggregates indicates the
change for the trade as a whole in the year. This percentage was
then applied to the relative number for 1917, which brings down to
1918 the relative number for each trade or occupation so computed.
It should be borne in mind that the relative numbers in Table 3
are percentages, not actual hours or amounts of money. In study
ing 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 111 in 1907 to 96 in 19*18, and that the relative
rate of wages per hour increased from 76 in 1907 to 142 in 1918.
The reduction in hours partly offsets the increase of wages per
hour; thus the relative rates of wages per week increased from 85 in
1907 to 136 in 1918 as compared with 76 to 142, the increase in the
relative rates of wages per hour.
Caution should bo 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 85, as com
pared with 136 in 1918, making an increase of 51 points in the rela
tive number. Fifty-one is 60 per cent of 85, thus making the increase
in 1918 over 1907 60: per cent, as shown in Table 1, pages 9 and 10.

BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
GENERAL INDEXES OF UNION SCALES 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 order that the changes in wages and hours
of labor and of retail prices of food from year to year may be
compared.
The union scale indexes are computed from the scales appearing
in this and preceding bulletins on the subject. The method of com
putation 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 compiled currently by this bureau. An investiga
tion made by the bureau in 1901 showed that the expenditure for
food constituted at that time about 43 per cent of the total expendi
ture of the workingman’s family.
Table 4 shows that the percentage of increase in the retail prices
of food from 1913 (the year taken as the base) to 1918 was consid
erably greater than the percentage of increase in the rates of wages
per hour and in full-time weekly earnings. Rates of wages per hour
advanced 33 per cent, while retail prices of food advanced 68 per
cent. The advance in weekly wages was less than that in rates of
wages per hour, because of reduction of hours during the period.
From 1917 to 1918 the increases were more nearly equal, the percent
age of increase in wages going slightly ahead of the percentage of
increase in retail prices of food. Rates of wages per hour advanced
from a relative of 114 in 1917 to 133 in 1918, an increase of 16 per
cent. Retail prices of food advanced from a relative of 146 in 1917
to 168 in 1918, an increase of 15 per cent. The advance in weekly
wages was from a relative of 112 in 1917 to 130 in 1918, an increase
of 15 per cent, which was less than the advance in rates of wages
per hour because of reduction of hours during the year.
From the basic figures used in the preparation of the above table
Table 5 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 5. While wages and food have
both advanced between 1907 and 1918, the advance in the retail
price of food was greater up to 1917, hence the diminishing pur
chasing power of wages shown in the table to and including 1917.

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 Tables 4 and 5 the figures for 1913 are made the base, as was
done in Table 3, pages 16 to 21, in order that war conditions might
be compared readily with normal conditions closely preceding the
war.
As some readers may desire to start comparisons with the initial
year, two tables of index numbers computed from the same basic
figures are given with 1907 taken as the base, or 100.

U N IO N SCALE OF WAGES AND H OURS OF LABOR, M A Y 15, 1918.

UNION WAGE SCALES AND RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD IN 13
CITIES.
That a comparison may be made of wage and price changes in a
few of the large cities, figures have been compiled for certain selected
trades and for the principal articles of food for the years 1907 to
1918. 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—Tables 8 and 9
relating to wage scales and Table 10 to retail prices of food. The
13 cities covered in each table are Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Denver, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Seattle. In the wage
tables from 14 to 22 trades in the several cities are included. Retail
prices for these cities 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
preceding bulletins, supplemented in a few instances by figures taken
from unpublished material. Table 8 (p. 26) shows by index numbers
the extent of change each year, as compared with 1907, in rates of
W’ages per hour and per week, and in hours of labor per week, for
the trades listed in Table 9, taken collectively. For each year, 1907
to 1918, inclusive, Table 9 (pp. 27 to 38) shows the wage rates per
hour and per full week, and the hours of labor per week on full time
for the trades presented in the 13 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 13 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 10, pp. 64 to 77) is divided into three
sections under each city. In the first section is given the average
money price for each year for each article. The second section shows
the quantity purchasable for $1 each year, and the third section
presents relative numbers (in other words, percentages) showing a
comparison of prices in each year with those of 1907. These relative
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.

B U L L E T IN OF T H E BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
The data presented in Table A, which follows, were published in
successive issues of the M o n t h l y L a b o r R e v i e w , beginning in Sep
tember, 1918, and ending in March, 1919, so that the scales could be
made available as tabulated without waiting for the completion of the
full report. To save resetting the type, the pages which were printed
in the R e v i e w are here reproduced. While such use of the original
pages makes some variations in the grouping of occupations, it is
believed the tabulation as arranged can be easily followed.
Under authority of the United States Railroad Administration
Act the Director General of Railroads, on July 25, 1918, in Supple
ment No. 4 to General Order No. 27, made an award fixing the rates
and hours of shopmen in the railroads under Government control.1
In this supplemental order a minimum rate of 68 cents per hour was
awarded to the following craftsmen included in Table A, working in
railroad shops: Blacksmiths, boiler makers, machinists, and sheetmetal workers. Helpers in these trades were awarded 45 cents per
hour. The principle of the basic eight-hour day was recognized and
the award was made retroactive to January 1, 1918; therefore the
awarded scale is included in this table, which, as stated, reports as
of May 15, 1918. Time and one-half for overtime and for work on
Sundays and holidays, to become effective on August 1, 1918, was
also awarded.
