UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR,
M AY
15, 1919.
SUMMARY.
This report contains the union scale of wages and hours of labor of
912,900 union members in the leading organized trades and occupa
tions of 61 of the principal cities of the United States as of May 15,
1919.
In all trades taken collectively the increase in weekly wage rates
on May 15, 1919, over May 15, 1918, was 14 per cent; over 1916,
39 per cent; over 1913, 43 per cent; over 1910, 55 per cent; and
over 1907, 62 per cent.
While wage rates have increased, working time has slightly de
creased. In 1919, the regular hours of labor had decreased 2 per
cent as compared with 1918; 4 per cent as compared with 1916;
5 per cent as compared with 1913; 6 per cent as compared with 1910;
and 8 per cent as compared with 1907.
Rates of wages per hour advanced slightly more than weekly
wage rates because of the the reduction in hours. Taken collectively,
rates per hour in 1919 were 16 per cent higher than in 1918, 44 per
cent higher than in 1916; 55 per cent higher than in 1913; 64 per
cent higher than in 1910; and 72 per cent higher than in 1907.
All of the trades and occupations herein reported received an
average increase in weekly rates in 1919 as compared with 1918.
The bakery trades received an increase of 25 per cent. All of the
42 building trades listed received an increase ranging from 2 to 21
per cent. Chauffeurs received 18 per cent and teamsters and drivers
23 per cent increase in weekly rates. Freight handlers received an
increase of 8 per cent. Granite cutters had an increase of 18 per
cent and stonecutters 19 per cent. Laundry workers gained 22
per cent. All of the metal trades made gains, ranging from 6 per
cent for blacksmiths to 20 per cent for coppersmiths.
Millwork carpenters had an increase of 16 per cent, glaziers 35
per cent, and millwork painters (hardwood finishers) 21 per cent.
In book and job printing, the increases ranged from 14 per cent for
electrotypers, finishers and molders, and machinist operators to 29
per cent for bindery women and press feeders. In newspaper print-

ing trades, the increases ranged from 5 per cent for machinist oper
ators, daywork, to 28 per cent for machine tenders, daywork. In
theatrical employment, carpenters gained 10 per cent, electricians
10 per cent, and motion-picture machine operators 21 per cent.
The hours per week are stated in this report for 95 trades and
occupations, or subdivisions and groups of trades and occupations.
Of this number 34 had a reduction, 3 had an increase, and 58 had
no change in working hours between May 15, 1918, and May 15, 1919.
The foregoing statements, concerning changes in rates and hours,
apply to the average for each trade, or subdivision or group as a '
whole. They must not be understood, however, as applying to each
and every local union in the trade.
There are 5,956 wage quotations tabulated for 1919, of which 173
show no comparable data for 1918, either because there were no
effective scales on May 15, 1918, or because the unions were not
then organized. Of the 5,783 wage quotations for which there are
comparable data for 1918, 1,114 had not changed during the year,
and 4,669 had changed in rates or hours or both of these items.
There are 77 instances of a reduction in weekly rates in 1919 as
compared with 1918, 14 instances of reduction in rates per hour,
and 36 instances of an increase in hours of labor. Of the 36 instances
of increase in hours of labor, 11 occurred in the newspaper printing
trades, 9 in the metal trades, 6 in the chauffeurs, teamsters, and
drivers’ unions, 6 in the theatrical employees’ unions, 2: in the building
trades, 1 in the book and job printing trades, and 1 in the waiters’
unions.
For ready comparison the scales prevailing on May 15, 1918, are
shown in parallel columns.
This is the eighth bulletin published by the Bureau of Labor

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, expressed 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
wage and maximum hours as are established by the agreed 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 3ome instances employees work less than the
scale hours.
In addition to ordinary increases in wages, a considerable number
of increases were reported in 1918 as war bonuses. Practically all
of these and some other bonuses were in effect in 1919. In such
cases where bonuses were definitely reported in one fixed amount
and were to remain in effect until the end of the war or indefinitely,
such bonuses were combined with the regular rate. If the increases
were various or indefinite, or applied only to some individuals or to
only a part of the union membership, the general rate was entered
in the table as the scale, and the bonuses mentioned in footnotes.
As a general rule the union scale represents the prevailing wage of
a locality for efficient labor.
In cases where the returns showed that a considerable percentage
of the membership received more than the scale, the facts, so far as
ascertainable, are stated in footnotes, which are generally selfexplanatory, such as “ more than half received more than the
the scale; amount not reported,” “ nominal rate, all received more;
average $35,” “ 25 per cent received $4 per week more than the scale,”
etc. No note is made where the number who received the higher
rate embraced less than 25 per cent of the membership of the union.
Agreements occasionally provide that old or infirm men may work for
less than the scale.
The observance of Labor Day as a holiday is so general and the
fact is so widely understood that it was deemed unnecessary to refer
to the many agreements which prohibit the performance of ordinary
work on that day. However, in instances where the prohibition of
work had been extended to other days or parts of days, such as July
4 and Saturday afternoons and also included Labor Day, the con
ditions have been stated in footnotes.
The rates of wages of railroad-shop occupations included herein
are the rates awarded by the United States Railroad Administration1
and not rates agreed upon by negotiation between employers and
unions in the usual way of arriving at a union scale. The railroad

rates are shown, however, for only such cities as have union members
employed in railroad shops.
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 shows such actual working hours, and notes state the maxi
mum and minimum hours.
It was 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
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 tinierate 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 scale 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 and the rates
per week on 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 Massachusetts and
Ohio. The labor bureaus of these two States collect union wage scale
figures and publish reports on the subject. To avoid duplication of
field work these State bureaus 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. The Massachusetts bureau collected its data in part
by correspondence and in part by sending out special agents. In
the work of this Bureau and of the two State bureaus wage scales,
written agreements, and trade-union records were consulted wherever
available. The field work involved an interview with the officials of
about 2,000 local unions. In many instances two or more calls had
to be made before the officials 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 is 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 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.. Inquiry has shown that the terms first hand, second hand,
etc., do not cover identical work in different cities where these terms
are used. Certaixi 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 69 to 281, shows 4,669 instances of changes
in scales during the year ending May 15, 1919, either as to wage rates,
or hours, or both. A table is here given summarizing these 4,669
changes, as they affected each of the three phases of the scale, wages
per hour, earnings per week, and hours per week.

From the foregoing table it is seen that of the 296 changes reported
in the bakery trade scales, all effected an increase in wages per hour;
292 resulted in an increase in the earnings per week, and 4 made no
change in earnings, the increase in the hourly rate being offset by a
reduction in the number of hours worked; and 107 produced a de
crease and 189 no change m the number of hours per week. The
other items of the table are read in like manner.
It is further seen that for eight trade groups all the changes in the
wages per hour were increases, and that for the four other trade
groups there were only 14 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 77
instances of decreases in earnings. For five trade groups all the
changes in the hours per week were decreases, and for seven trade
groups there were collectively only 36 instances of increases in hours.

Expressed in percentages, of the total of 4,660 changes, 08.9 per
cent resulted in increases, and 0.3 per cent in decreases in the wages
per hour; 97.4 per cent made increases and 1.6 per cent decreases
in the earnings per week; and 0.8 per cent made increases and 14.1
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 week, and that with only 36 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 May 15 in the year 1919 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 the
report. To make it convenient to compare war conditions with
normal conditions closely preceding the war it was deemed desirable
to use as the base, or 100, the figures for 1913. Occupations for
which the Bureau has no figures as far back as 1913 are omitted
from the table, since the figures for 1913 are used as a base.
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, 1919, was
170 per cent of the average rate in 1913, or 70 per cent higher. The
rate in 1907 was 85 per cent of the rate in 1913; thus from 1907 to
1919 the relative number changed from 85 to 170. 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 1918
and 1919, respectively, were weighted (multiplied) by the number of
union members employed in the trade in the city in 1919. 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

1 5
then applied to the relative number for 1918, which brings down to
1919 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 93 in 1919, and that the relative
rate of wages per hour increased from 76 in 1907 to 186 in 1919.
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 170 in 1919 as compared with 76 to 186, 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 w'as 85, as com
pared with 170 in 1919, making an increase of 85 points in the rela
tive number. Eighty-five is 100 per cent of 85, thus making the
increase in 1919 over 1907*100 per cent, as shown in Table 1, page 9.

GENERAL INDEX.
A table of index numbers is now presented. In these index
numbers are combined the data for all localities and for all occupa
tions except theatrical employees and waiters, which are omitted
because of incomplete data, especially as to hours.
The data of preceding reports have been used so as to produce a
series of general index numbers from 1907 to 1919. The method of
computation is the same as used in computing the relative numbers
of the several occupations as explained on page 14.

In the preparation of the above indexes of rates of wages and of
hours of labor, 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 table 4 the figures for 1913 are made the base, as was done in
Table 3, pages 15 to 21, in order that later conditions may be com
pared readily with normal conditions closely preceding the war.
As some readers may desire to start comparisons with the initial
year, a table of index numbers computed from the same basic figures
are given with 1907 taken as the base,, or 100.

UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN 13 CITIES.
Index numbers have also been prepared for each of 13 important
cities. In Table 6 the data for important selected trades of the city
have been consolidated in general index numbers from 1907 to 1919.
In Table 7 a.ctual rates and hours and relative rates and hours are
given through the same period of time for each of the several trades
consolidated in Table 6. The trades included in this table number
from 14 to 22 in the different cities. The figures for preceding years
are drawn from earlier bulletins. In these two tables 1907 is taken
as the basis of comparison or 100.
