The report covers 66 important industrial cities of the United States, and data are shown for May 15. This date has been selected because in most instances contracts for the year have been determined on or before this date. This bulletin shows only wage rates per hour, and per week when worki~ full time. Unfortunately no records are available with the unions to show the amount of time worked and time lost by individual members, and inquiry has shown that few men keep such a record of their own work. Men may work part time, full time, or overtime, but without a record of time actually made it is impossible to state actual earnings. The weekly wages shown in this bulletin are the actual or p_ossible wages for full time. In all trades, taken collectively, the hourly union wage rate on May 15, 1924, in the United States was liigher than in any preceding year, being 8.3 per cent higher than on May 15, 1923; 99.8 per cent higher than in 1917; 128.1 per cent higher than in 1913; 141.5 per cent higher than in 1910; and 154.2 per cent higher than in 1907. All hourly rates have been converted into equivalent weekly rates and all weeldy rates have been converted into equivalent hourly rates. Taken collectively, rates of wages per week, full time, in 1924 were 7.9 per cent higher than in 1923; 90.6 per cent liigher than in 1917; 114.2 per cent nigher than in. 1913; 125 per cent higher than in 1910; 134.1 per cent higher than in 1907. In 1924 the regular hours of labor were 0.5 per cent lower than in 1923; 4.6 per cent lower than in 1917; 6.1 per cent lower than in 1913; 7.2_per cent lower than in 1910; and 8.5 per cent lower than in 1907. The rates of wages per week, full time, of the trade and occupation groups herein reported show .the following changes: Bakers' wages m 1924 were 3 per cent higher than in 1923; bwlding trades wage changes ranged from 3.2 per cent lower for fresco painters to an increase of 18.1 per cent for mosaic and terrazzo workers; chauffeurs' wages show an mcrease of 4.3 per cent and teamsters' and drivers' wages an increase of 7.2 per cent; fre~ht handlers' w~es show an increase of 14 per cent; granite cutters wages increased 1.1 J?er.cen.t and stonecutters' wages 7.4 per cent. Laundry workers wages https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 1 2 UNION SOALE OF WAGES AND HOUBS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1924 showed no change. Linemen had an increase of 4.3 per cent in their wage rates. In metal trades the changes ranged from decrease of 6.4 per cent for blacksmiths' helpers to an increase of 18.1 per cent for machinists' helpers. Millwork c~enters in 1924 gained 9.7 per cent in weekl_y rates as compared with 1923 1 glaziers gained 14.4 per cent, and painters (harawood finishers) m the millwork group gained 6. 7 per cent. In book and job printing weekly rates increased from 0.3 per cent for press assistants and feeders to 7.9 per cent for macliine tenders (machinists). In newspaper printing trades the weekly rates cha.ne;ed, ranging from an increase of 2.6 per cent for stereotypers on mght work to an increase of 7.8 per cent for machine operators on night work. See pages 3 to 6 for per cent of increase or decrease in each trade. The hours per week are stated in this report for 92 trades and occu_p_ations or subdivisions and groups of trades and occupations. Of this number 46 had a decrease, 24 liad an increase, and 22 had no ch~e in working hours between May 15, 1923, and May 15, 1924. The foregoing statements concerning cnanges in wage rates and hours of labor apply to the average for each trade or subdivision or group as a whole. They must not be understood as applying to each and every local union in the trade. a AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES-AND NUMBER OF CHANGES IN UNION SCALES IN SPECIFIED TRADES IN THE UNITED STATES The average money rates of wages per hour as of May 15 1924 and 1923, for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for trade groups in Table 1. These averages were obtained by multiplying 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. There are tabulated for 1924 5,038 union-scale quotations, for · 66 of which no comparable data for 1923 are shown, either because there were no effective vnion scales on May 15, 1923, or because the unions were not then organized. Of the 4,972 union-scale quotations for which there are comparable data for 1923, 2,491 had not changed during the year and 2,481 had changed in rates or hours or. in both of these items. There are 2,435 instances of an increase in hourly wage rates in 1924 as compared ·with 1923, 2,258 instances of an increase in wage rates per week, and 13 instances of an increase in hours of labor. There· are 35 instances of a reduction in hourly wage rates in 1924 as compared with 1923, 45 instances of a reduction in wage rates per week, full time, and 98 instances of a reduction in hours of labor. Of the 13 instances of increase in hours of labor, 1 occurred in the building trades, 3·in the granite and stone trades, 6 in the metal trades, and 3 in the newspaper printing trades. In Table 1 is shown a summ~ of tlle changes in the 2,481 unionscale quotations, especially as they effected rates of wages_per hour, rates of wages per week, full time, and hours per week. With 2,435 instances of increases in rates of wages per hour and only 35 decreases out of a total of 4,972 union-scale quotations, the increase in wage rates in 1924 becomes significant. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis TABLB 1.-AVERAGE RATE OF WAGES PER HOUR AND NUMBER OF UNION SCALE QUOTATIONS FOB MAY 111, 1924, COMPARED WITH MAY 111, 1923, IN SPECIFIED TRADES FOR THE UNITED STATES Average rates of wages per hour Union-scale quotations, Trade and occupation com• having ~ ~ ~ ~ parable changes crease crease change crease with from 1923 (0. 946 $0. 921 1.122 1.398 1.005 286 284 109 BUILDING TRADES Asbestos workers ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Bricklayers ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Bnil~fat'::1~• and caisson •••••••••••••••••••••••••• 1.608 .809 1.160 CT~hts::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Cem~ii!~~:~_'.::::.::::::::::::::::::::::::::: L251 1.262 1.070 1,231 .895 L131 ~::£::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: • 721 L252 Helpers ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Engineers, portable and hoisting •••••••••••••••••••••••• Glaziers .·············-- ___ •• ·-·-. ·---- _---··-·-------- .888 1.213 L099 ,823 L207 1.149 Hod caniers ___ ···-·-·-----------·---·----·----·----···- Iuside wiremen._. _________ ·--·---------_-------···-··-L a ~ hangers-----·-·-·--------------------------- Helpers ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••.•••••••••• Mosaic and terrazzo workers.······--·-··-·-············ Painters. - • - •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Fresco •••• ----·····-···········-·········-·-·-··-··· P~.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Laborers. ·-·······-················-··-···---·-·--· 1 Per 1,000 laths https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis l 8. 230 1.282 1.242 .946 1.155 1.168 1. 067 1.515 L461 ,937 67 34 67 26 L321 L534 14 14 46 10 60 56 67 1.164 1.262 .994 11 8 9 67 11 8 • 728 L084 Lll3 .805 .977 .696 Lll5 .806 L 141 1.041 • 788 L079 1. 065 17. 720 LISS 1.188 ,873 .978 34 58 11 36 4 35 ,==---------- = 109 26 44 9 25 40 5 2 4 28 24 40 7 16 7 16 5 2 4 28 44 44 44 44 3 3 33 33 95 21 51 61 15 91 20 51 61 15 29 38 27 36 11 29 37 11 27 36 11 21 61 20 61 46 8 6 65 8 33 8 33 19 6 13 6 19 6 5 35 6 8 7 Ll08 Ll25 L330 66 13 45 .~72 39 L306 9 57 11 46 67 ~ ~ ~ ~ crease change crease crease ~ change 1923 BAKERY TRADES Pieoework. _•• ·-··-····------·--····-··-·-·-----·-·· Time work._-·· . ••••.•••••••••••••••••••••••••• --··-·····-··-················· Marble-setters._.······-· Hours per week full time Number Number May 15, May 15, Nnm• 1924 1923 ber Bakers..................................................

·per week, full time, and 281 had no change, while 3 had a decrease m 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 147 changes reported for this group, all effected an increase in rates of wages per hour. Expressed in percentages of the total number (2,481) of union scale quotations in which there were changes, 98.1 per cent resulted in increases and 1.4 per cent in d,ecreases in rates of wages per hour; 91 per cent provided increases and 1.8 per cent decreases in earnings per week; and 0.5 per cent provided increases and 4 per cent decreases m the hours per week. WEEKLY HOURS OF LABOR IN THE PRINCIPAL TRADES: UNITED STATES Table 2 shows the percentage of members in each trade or occupation worltjng certain classified hours per week on May 15, 1924. It will be observed from the table that 96 per cent of the bakers had a week of 48 hours or less; that 96.9 per cent of the building trades mechanics had a week of 44 hours or less; and that 70.1 per cent of all the union membership covered had a week of 44 hours or less, and 89.6 per cent a week of 48 hours or less. Tlie combined organized trades have thus nearly reached the 8-hour day, and more than two-thirds of their membership have also secured the Saturday half-holiday, resulting in a 44-hour week.

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 inguiry was materially enlarged, four new groups of occupations bemg included: Brewery and bottling-house workmen; chauffeurs and teamsters 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 photo-engravers. In Bulletin No. 25g the scales for brewery and bottling-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 practicallJT_ the same trades and occupations as Bulletin No. 259. In Bulletin No. 302 the scales for theatrical employees and waiters were omitted and scales for linemen and street railway motormen and conductors were included. Bulletin No. 325 presented scales for practically the same trades and occupations as Bulletin No. 302. Railroad metal trades were omitted from Bulletin No. 354 because there was doubt in many instances as to whether they could be properly classed as union scales. The present bulletin contains reports on the same trades as found in Bulletin No. 354. The several trades and occupations for which union scales are given in this bulletin are shown m Table 3. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 12 UNION SCALE OF WAOOS AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1924 PER CENT OF CHANGE IN WEEKLY RATES OF WAGES, 1924, COMPARED WITH EACH SPECIFIED YEAR FROM 1907 Table 3 shows for each trade for eaoh specified year for which data are available in all cities covered, taken collectively, the per cent of increase or decrease in rates of wages per week, on full time, in 1924, as compared with each specified year.

The union scale usually fixes the limit in only: one direction. It sets a minimum wage ana a maximum of hours for a regular day's work. This report shows such minimum wage and maxim.um hours as are established l>y 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 fewer hours than the scale calls for. 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 r~orted in 1918 as war bonuses. Nearly all of these, and some other bonuses, were in effect in 1919 and m 1920.. In 1921 some of the bonuses had been made a part of the regular scale, some had been modified, and some were continued as emergency or cost-of-living bonuses. In 1923 and 1924 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 have been combined with the r~ar 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 rates have been entered m the table as the scale, and the lionuses · mentioned in footnotes. 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 man;y agreements which prohibit the performance of ordinary work on that day. However, in instances where the prohibition of work has been extended to other days or parts of day-tJ, 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 maximum hours that may not be exceeded except by payment of an over- . time rate, and a mimmum 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 wor~-day. In such instances the tabulation 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 established that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union were reoeivin_g the scale or aliove 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 01:ganized in · certain cities, and some were organized only in part. When o~anized in parti with a scale in force for such men as were organized, the sea.le is pub ished. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS 15 The union scales in this report are almost entirely time-rate scales. The only piece-rate scales shown herein are for lathers, and for machine operators in the printil_).g trades. 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 practieable to quote them. The earnings at piece rates usually exceed the fulltime 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 various scales agreed to by employers and trade-unions state wages for differing units of time. Some scales designate the rates of w~es by the hour, others b~ the day, week, or month. The varymg rates have been converted mtocommon 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 overtrme, Sunday, and holiday work, the regular hours for a full day, for Saturday, and for a full week, the number of months in the year for which the agreement provided for a Saturday half holiday, and the per cent of members receiving more than scale and the amount or range received. 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 sliort day in the week other than .Saturday:, it has been tabulated as equivalent to a Saturday provision. In other words, "Sunday" is considered as comprehensive en~h to cover any fixed rest day. . 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. When for a period of more than three Dionths of the _year the number of hours differed from that shown for May,- the difference has been noted in the 1lable. 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 through personal visits to business ~ents and secretaries of the respective trade-unions in the several cities. The State labor bureaus of Massacuhsetts, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, for their own purposes, collect union wage scales within their respective States. To avoid duplication of :fie1d work in these State~-l they · have furnished such information as is necessary to this compilation. The Ohio and Pennsylvania data were collected entirely by ~rsonal visits of special agents of those States. The Massachusetts bureau collected its data m part by correspondence and in part by sending out special agents. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 16 UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15, 1912.4 In the work of this bureau and of the three State bureaus, wage scales, written agreements, and trade-union records were consulted wherever available. The field work involved interviews with about 2,200 officials of local unions. Scales for apprentices are not shown, but scales for helpers in a number of trades are given. In some trades the work of helpers is performed in part by apprentices. Wnenever 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 for some occupations a great variation in trade terms and classifications in the .different cities. For example,, _bakers are classed in some cities as first hands, second hands, and tnird hands; in othe:i: cities as mixers, henchmen, oven men, 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 the 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 lias followed the terminology used in each city. There are also great variations in classification and in the extent of subdivision of chau.ffeurs, teamsters and drivers, and of bookbinding and_ presswork occuP.ations, ma~ comparison of city with city quite difficult; and similar conditions, less in degree, are found in several other trades. · · INDEX NUMBERS OF UNION SCALE OK WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1907 TO 1924: UNITED STATES 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 with conditions closely precedin~ the war, it was deemed desirable to use as the base, or 100, the tigures for 1913. Tl"ades for which the bureau has no :figures as far back as 1913 are therefore omitted from this table. Referring to Table 5 it is seen that the average rate of wages per week on full time for all bakers on May 15, 1924, was 250. 7 per cent of the average rate in 1913, or 150.7 per cent higher. The rate in 1907 was 85.1 per cent of the rate in 1913, _thus from 1907 to 1924 the index number changed from 85.1 to 250.7. 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 1924 were weighted (multiplied) by the number of union members reported in the trade in the city on May 15, 1924. 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 https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 17 INDEX NUMBERS-ALL TRADES COMBINED reported in the trade to obtain the average for 1924. A computation was then made to find the percentage of change between the 1924 average and the 1923 average, which had been computed in the aame way in 1923. This percentage was then applied to the index number previously computed for the 1923 report, thus bringing_ down to 1924 the index number for ea.ch trade or occupation. It should be borne in mind that the index numbers in Table 5 are percent~es, not actual hours or amounts of money. In studying this table its trnee parts should be observed. Thus, referring again to bakers for illustration, it is seen that the index number for fulltime hours per week decreased from 111.1 in 1907 to 90.1 in 1924, and that the index number for rate of wages per hour increased from 76.5 in 1907 to 283.5 in 1924. The reduction in hours partly offsets the increase in rates of wages per h9ur; thus the index number for rates of wages per week increased from 85."t in 1907 to 250.7 in 1924, as compared with 76.5, to 283.5, the increase in the index number for rates of wages J>er 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 bak"ers in 1907 was 85.1 as compared with 250.7 in 1924, making an increase of 165.6 points in the index number. One hundred sixty five and six tenths is 194.6 per cent of 85.1, thus making-the increase in 1924 over 1907, 194.6 per cent, a.a shown in Table 3. ALL TBADIS OOIIBIBBD A table of index numbers is now J>resented in which are combined the data for all localities and for all occupations except street-railway motormen and conductors, which are omitted because of incomplete data as to hours.

An index number is, as before stated, a percentage computed from the actual figures for each year as compared with a base year. In Tables 4 and 5 the figures for 1913 were taken as the base, 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.
