AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES IN THE PRINCIPAL
TRADES: UNITED STATES.

The average money rates of wages per hour as of May 15, 1923
and 1922, for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for
trade groups in Table 1. These averages were obtained by multi
plying each hourly rate by the number of members of the union,
then adding the products and the number of members and dividing
the aggregate wages by the aggregate number of members.

WEEKLY HOURS OF LABOR IN THE PRINCIPAL TRADES:
UNITED STATES.

Table 2 shows the percentage of members in each trade or occu
pation working certain classified hours per week, on May 15, 1923.
It will be observed from the table that 94 per cent of the bakers
had a week of 48 hours or less; that 97per cent of the building trades
mechanics had a week of 44 hours or less; and that 68 per cent of
all the union membership covered had a week of 44 hours or less,
and 89 per cent a week of 48 hours or less.1
The combined organized trades have thus nearly reached the 8hour day, and more than two-thirds of their membership have also
secured the Saturday half-holiday, resulting in a 44-hour week.

UNTOIN SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1923.

NUMBER OF CHANGES IN UNION SCALES REPORTED BY
TRADE GROUPS.

There are tabulated for 1923 5,011 union-scale quotations, for 119
of which no comparable data for 1922 are shown, either because there
were no effective union scales on May 15, 1922, or because the unions
were not then organized. Of the 4,892 union-scale quotations
for which there are comparable data for 1922, 2,667 had not changed
during the year and 2,225 had changed in rates or hours or in both of
these items. There are 2,032 instances of an increase in hourly wage
rates in 1923 as compared with 1922, 1,967 instances of an increase
in wage rates per week, and 56 instances of an increase in hours of
labor. There are 173 instances of a reduction in hourly wage rates
in 1923 as compared with 1922, 132 instances of a reduction m wage
rates per week, full time, and 115 instances of a reduction in hours of
labor. Of the 56 instances of increase in hours of labor, 2 occurred
in the bakery trades, 14 in the building trades, 7 for chauffeurs and
teamsters and drivers, 6 in the granite and stone trades, 15 in the
metal trades, 6 in book and job shops in the printing trades, and 6 in
the newspaper printing trades.
In Table 3 is shown a summary of the changes in the 2,225 unionscale quotations, especially as they affected rates of wages per hour,
rates of wages per week, full time, and hours per week. The changes
in the small number of piece-rate scales quoted in this report are in
cluded in this table. With 2,032 instances of increases in rates of
wages per hour and only 173 decreases out of a total of 4,892 unionscale quotations, the increase in wage rates in 1923 becomes sig
nificant.

1The hours per week and rates of wages per week were not reported in the 93 cases where changes in the
wages per hour were reported for street railways.

The foregoing table shows that of the 104 changes reported in the
bakery trade scales, 93 effected an increase and 11 a decrease in
wage rates per hour; 92 resulted in an increase and 9 in a decrease
in rates of wages per week, full time, and 99 had no change in the
number of hours per week. The other items of the table may be
read in like manner.
Owing to the shifting of trips and the many variations of hours
of work in the operation of street cars, the hours per week and rates
of wages per week of motormen and conductors are omitted from
this report. Of the 93 changes reported for this group, 37 effected
an increase and 56 a decrease in rates of wages per hour.
Expressed in percentages of the total number (2,225) of union
scale quotations in which there were changes, 91.3 per cent resulted
in increases and 7.8 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour;
88.4 per cent provided increases and 5.9 per cent decreases in earnings
per week, and 2.5 per cent provided increases and 5.2 per cent de
creases in the hours per week.

The asterisks in the preceding list indicate the cities added since the
first report. In Table A data for each of the cities appearing’in the
above list are given for each trade in which a scale was in effect.
A few trades not appearing in the list 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 and team
sters and drivers; freight handlers; and soft-drink establishment
employees.
A few trades were added in Bulletin No. 194, a few in Bulletin
No. 214, and in Bulletin No. 245 four trades were included for the
first time—mosaic and terrazzo workers, ship carpenters, glaziers, and
In Bulletin No. 259 the scales for brewery and
Ehoto-engravers.
ottling-house workmen and soft-drink establishment employees
were discontinued and the scales for laundry workers, theatrical
employees, and waiters were included for the first time. Bulletins
No. 274 and No. 286 presented practically the same trades and occu
pations as Bulletin No. 259. In Bulletin No. 302 the scales for the
atrical employees and waiters were omitted and scales for linemen
and street railway motormen and conductors were included. Bulle
tin No. 325 presented scales for practically the same trades and
occupations as Bulletin No. 302. This report includes scales for the
trades and occupations that were shown in No. 325, with the excep
tion of the railroad metal trades, which were omitted because there
was doubt in many instances as to whether they could be properly
classed as union scales.
The several trades and occupations for which union scales are given
in this bulletin are shown in Table 4.
PER CENT OF CHANGE IN WEEKLY RATES OF WAGES, 1923,
COMPARED WITH EACH YEAR FROM 1907.

Table 4 shows for each trade and for each year for which data are
available the per cent of increase or decrease in rates of wages per
week, on full time, in 1923, as compared with each of the 16 years
preceding, in all cities covered, taken collectively.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS.
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,



12

UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOTJKS OF LABOK, MAY 15, 1923.

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 some instances employees work less than the
scale hours. As a general rule, however, the union scale represents
the prevailing wage of a locality.
In addition to ordinary increases in wages, a considerable number
of increases were reported in 1918 as war bonuses. Nearly all of
these, and some other bonuses, were in effect in 1919 and in 1920.
In 1921 some of the bonuses had been made a part of the regular
scale, some had been modified, and some were contmued as emergency
or cost-of-living bonuses. In 1922 and 1923 cost-of-living bonuSes
were carried in some agreements. In cases where bonuses were
definitely reported in one fixed amount and were to remain in effect
indefinitely, such bonuses were combined with the regular rate. If
the increases were various or indefinite, or applied only to some
individuals or only to a part of the union membership, the general rate
was entered in the table as the scale, and the bonuses mentioned in
footnotes.
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; amount not
reported"; “nominal rate, all received more; average $35"; “ 25 per
cent received $4 more per week," 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 sometimes 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 has been deemed unnecessary to
refer to the many agreements which prohibit the performance ’of
ordinary work on that day. However, in instances where the prohibi
tion of work has been extended to other days or parts of days, such as
July 4 and Saturday afternoon, and also includes Labor Day, the
conditions are stated in footnotes.
In the newspaper printing trades, compositor and machine operator
agreements are found in certain cities in which there are stated maxi
mum hours that may not be exceeded except by payment of an over
time rate, and a minimum of hours for which work must be provided
or payment made if 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.
No scale for any trade is published here unless it was so far estab
lished that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union were
receiving the scale or above it. Information obtained on this ques
tion 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 organized in

certain cities, and some were organized only in part. When organ
ized 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 only for lathers, and for
machine operators and machinist operators in the printing trades.
These occupations have simple units of payment which are com
monly 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
m the scale is only infrequently paid, such time rate has not been
tabulated.
The various scales agreed to by employers and trade-unions state
wages for differing units of time. Some scales designate the rates
of wages by the hour, others by the day, week, or month. The
varying rates have been reduced to common terms, and both hourly
and weekly rates are shown.
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.
Certain unions have agreements for Saturday or some other day
as a rest day rather than Sunday. In such cases the provision for
this day has been tabulated as equivalent to the usual Sunday
provision. Likewise, if there is a short day in the week other than
Saturday, it has been tabulated as equivalent to a Saturday pro
vision. In other words, “Sunday” is considered as comprehensive
enough to cover any fixed rest day, and in the table the middle
number in the statement of hours applies to the short day, if any,
in the week.
Where two or more quotations of rates and hours are shown for
the same occupation in the same city, such quotations represent
two or more agreements between unions and employers, sometimes
different unions, sometimes different employers, sometimes both.
The letters A, B, C, etc., are used to designate different quotations
but have no other significance.
WTien for a period of more than three months of the year the
numbers of hours differed from those shown for May, the difference
has been noted in the table.
When a strike or lockout was pending on May 15, the scale which
was in effect before the strike or lockout began has been tabulated,
with a note “ old scale; strike pending.”
Nearly all the information here published was obtained by special
agents of this bureau in personal visits to business agents and secre
taries of the respective trade-unions* in the several cities. The
State labor bureaus of Massachusetts, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, for
their own purposes, collect union wage scales within their respective
States. To avoid duplication of field work in these States, the
State and Federal bureaus have cooperated.

SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1923.

In Pennsylvania agents of the State bureau worked w ith an agent
of this bureau and the data were obtained b y personal visits to the
trade-unions. A copy of all data collected was returned to both the
State and Federal offices. The Ohio data were collected entirely by
the Ohio bureau b y personal visits of special agents. The Massa
chusetts bureau collected its data in part b y correspondence and in
part b y sending out special agents. B oth Massachusetts and Ohio
furnished copies of their data to this bureau.
In the w ork of this bureau and of the three State bureaus, wage
scales, w ritten agreements, and trade-union records were consulted
wherever available. The field work involved interviews w ith about
2,200 officials of local unions.
Scales for apprentices are not shown, but scales for helpers are
given for a number of trades. In some trades the work of helpers is
performed in part b y apprentices. Whenever it was found that the
w ork of helpers is largely done b y apprentices, the scales for such
helpers have been omitted.
A n inspection of the general table shows for some occupations a
great variation in trade terms and classifications in the different
cities. F o r example, bakers are classed in some cities as first hands,
second hands, ana third hands; in other cities as mixers, benchmen,
oven men, etc. The difference in occupation name makes a com par
ison between cities difficult. Inquiry has shown that the terms
“ first hand,” u second hand,” etc., do not cover identical w ork in
the different cities where these terms are used. Certain work m ay
be considered first-hand work in one city and second-hand w ork in
another city. Of necessity, this bureau has followed the term inology
used in each city.
There are also great variations m classification and in the extent
of subdivision of chauffeurs, teamsters and drivers, and of book
binding and presswork occupations,2 m aking comparison of c ity w ith
c ity quite difficult; and sim ilar conditions, less in degree, are found
in several other trades.

INDEX NUMBERS OF UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS
OF LABOR, 1907 TO 1923.
UNITED STATES—PRINCIPAL TRADES.
SPECIFIED TRADES.
A table of index numbers (percentages) is presented showing for
all cities taken collectively the extent of the changes that have
occurred from year to year in the trades included in this report. To
make it convenient to compare war and readjustment conditions
w ith conditions closely preceding the war, it was deemed desirable
to use as the base, or 100, the figures for 1913. Trades for which
the bureau has no figures as far back as 1913 are consequently om it
ted from the table.
m
Referring to Table 5 it is seen that tne average rate of wages per
week on fu ll time for all bakers on M a y 15, 1923, was 243 per cent
of the average rate in 1913, or 143 per cent higher. The rate in 1907*

was 85 per cent of the rate in 1913, thus from 1907 to 1923 the index
number changed from 85 to 243. This explanation applies to all the
years and all the index numbers in the table.
These index numbers are based on weighted averages and are
derived from the actual wages and hours in all the localities which
supplied data. In making the computations for each trade the actual
wages and hours in the specific trade in each city for 1923 were
weighted (multiplied) by the number of union members reported in
the trade in the city on May 15, 1923. The products for a trade for
the several cities were added, producing aggregate wages and hours
for the trade. The aggregate wages and aggregate hours for each
trade were then divided by the total number of union members
reported in the trade to obtain the average for 1923. A computa
tion was then made to find the percentage of change between the
1923 average and the 1922 average, which had been computed in
the same way in 1922. This percentage was then applied to the
index number previously computed for the 1922 report, thus bring
ing down to 1923 the index number for each trade or occupation.
It should be borne in mind that the index numbers in Table 5 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 index number for full
time hours per week decreased from 111 in 1907 to 90 in 1923, and
that the index number for rate of wages per hour increased from 76
in 1907 to 276 in 1923. The reduction m hours partly offsets the
increase in rates of wages per hour; thus the index number for rates
of wages per week increased from 85 in 1907 to 243 in 1923, as com
pared ‘with 76 to 276, the increase in the index number for rates of
wages per hour.
Caution should be used in considering these index numbers. The
result obtained by a subtraction of index numbers does not represent
the per cent of increase or decrease between the different years. For
example, the index number for rates of wages per week of bakers in
1907 was 85, as compared with 243 in 1923, making an increase of
158 points in the index number. One hundred and fifty-eight is 186
per cent of 85, thus making the increase in 1923 over 1907, 186 per
cent, as shown in Table 4.

usrrois scale of wages and hours of LABOR, MAY 15, 1923.

ALL TRADES COMBINED.

A table of index numbers is now presented in which are combined
the data for all localities and for all occupations except street
radway motormen and conductors, which are omitted because of
incomplete data as to hours.
The data of preceding reports have been used so as to produce a
series of general index numbers from 1907 to 1923. The method of
computation is the same as that used in computing the index num
bers for the several occupations explained on page 15.

In the preparation of the above index numbers 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 table the
decimals have been dropped.
An index number is, as before stated, a percentage computed
from the actual figures for each year as compared with a base year.
In Table 6 the figures for 1913 were taken as the base, as was done
in Table 5, in order that later conditions may be compared readily
with conditions closely preceding the war.
As some readers may desire to make comparisons with the initial
year, a table of index numbers computed from the same basic figures
is given with 1907 as the base, or 100.

BAKERS.
[In some instances the rate for overtime and for Sunday and holidays is indicated by figures closely fol
lowed by the letter c, which means that the amount given is the rate in cents per hour. When two
entries are given for overtime rate the first represents an initial overtime and the second a further period
of overtime. When overtime work is prohibited it is indicated by “ Pro.” When two entries are given
for Sunday and holiday rate the first applies to Sunday and the second to holidays. When no statement
is given for 1922 there was no union, or if a union, no effective scale. The few cases in which the dav
of rest is other than Sunday have been tabulated as Sunday, and those in which the short day is other
than Saturday have been tabulated as Saturday.]
