UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, HAT 15,192 5
SU M M A R Y

The Bureau of Labor Statistics presents in this report the union
wage scales as of May 15, 1925, for 775,112 members of organized
trades as found in 66 important industrial cities. Most agreements
for the year are settled before May 15.
The average rates for the several trades and groups of trades in
1925 in comparison with the rates in 1924 appear in Table 1, page 4.
The hourly rate of wages for all trades herein shown taken collectively,
exclusive of street railways, shows an advance from $1,046 per hour
in 1924 to $1,091 per hour in 1925, an increase of 4.3 per cent. Fol­
lowing is a list of trade groups for which data are shown in this re­
port and the advances in hourly wages over 1924.

The rates and hours of street railway motormen and conductors
do not enter into the grand averages for all trades combined as
men in these occupations do not have uniform hours.
Weekly hours for all trades taken as a unit have changed but
slightly since 1924, having decreased 0.6 per cent. The largest
decrease for any one group was that of freight handlers which showed
6 per cent reduction, while the laundry workers and job printing
groups showed no change and building trades and granite and stone
cutters had an increase of 0.2 per cent.
The average hours for the United States in all trades herein cov­
ered, not including street railways, are 45.5 per week. Below are
shown the average hours for the several groups.

In the light of the figures above it seems well to call attention to
the fact that in the earlier years of the bureau's reports on union
wages weekly hours in the bakery trades frequently ran from 54 to
60 and in some cases as high as 72 and 78 hours. The steady demand
on the part of the bakers for shorter hours together with the intro­
duction of machinery in almost all bakeries may be given as the
causes of such reduction. Freight handling has also participated
in the advance of machinery as an agent in amelioratmg the toil
involved, while hours have been reduced. The automobile has graduuaily supplanted the horse-drawn dray or truck, and a reduction of
the time consumed in transporting goods from one point to another
has been accompanied by a reduction of hours of labor in this group.
For convenience in comparisons all rates are shown per full-time
week as well as per hour. The average full-time weekly rates for
1925 for all trades combined showed an advance of 3.7 per cent over
the 1924 figures.
Because of a material decrease in hours freight handlers show
a 4.7 per cent decrease in full-time weekly earnings, and for a like
reason 0.3 per cent decrease is shown for lmemen. The greatest per
cent of increase in weekly earnings is shown by laundry workers,
which amounts to 7 per cent, while chauffeurs and teamsters and
drivers show 4.6 per cent, and building trades 3.9 per cent. Other
groups show small increases.
It is impossible, of course, to follow up the thousands of individual
union members and get from them the amount of time they work
and the amount of time they do not work, hence no statement can
be made of their actual earnings in a week or in a year. This report
can treat only of rates of wages as distinct from actual earnings.




BATES OF WAGES IN SPECIFIED TRADES

AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES AND NUMBER OF
CHANGES IN UNION SCALES, BY TRADES
The average money rates of wages per hour as of May 15, 1925
and 1924, for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for
trade grdups 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.
There are tabulated for 1925, 4,536 union-scale quotations, for
569 of which there are no comparable data for 1924. Of the 3,967
union-scale quotations for which there are comparable data for
1924, 2,462 had not changed during the year and 1,505 had changed
in rates or hours or in both of these items. There are 1,320 instances
of an increase in hourly wage rates in 1925 as compared with 1924,
1,217 instances of an increase in wage rates per week, and 75 instances
of an increase in hours of labor. There are 136 instances of a reduc­
tion in hourly wage rates in 1925 as compared with 1924,147 instances
of a reduction in wage rates per week, full time, and 130 instances of
a reduction in hours of labor. Of the 75 instances of increase in the
hours of labor, 2 occurred in the bakery trades, 9 in the building
trades, 17 in chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, 1 in freight
handlers, 1 in the granite and stone trades, 1 in linemen, 14 in the
book and -job printing trades and 30 in the newspaper printing trades.

The asterisks in the preceding list indicate cities added since the
first report. In Table A, page 60, data for each of the cities 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
bemg included: Brewery and bottling-house workmen; chauffeurs
and teamsters and drivers; freight handlers; and soft-drink estab­
lishment 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. 259 the scales for brewery
and Dottling-nouse workmen and soft-drink establishment em­
ployees 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 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. jEtailroad 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 metal trades and the millwork trades have been omitted from
this bulletin because it was felt that more representative data could
be obtained directly from pay rolls. Metal trades wages for 1923
were published in bulletin No. 362 and the bureau now has in process
of tabulation data for 1925. The several trades and occupations for
which union scales are given in this bulletin are shown in Table 3.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS

A 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. A 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 to or
accepted scale. In certain cities and trades, however, some work­
men, 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, nowever, 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 continued as emer­
gency or cost-of-living bonuses. In 1923 and 1924 cost-of-living



58

UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOUBS

MAY 15, 1925

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 regu­
lar 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 in the table as the scale, and
the bonuses 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 many agreements which prohibit the performance of
ordinary work on that day. However, in instances where the pro­
hibition 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
maximum hours that may not be exceeded except by payment of
an overtime rate, and a minimum of hours for whicn 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 ac­
cepted working time, within the limits provided, so well established
that such time is in effect the standard working-day. In such in­
stances the tabulation shows such actual working hours, and notes
state the maximum and minimum hours.
No scale for any trade is published here unless it was so well
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 organized in certain cities, and some were organized only in part. W h en
organized in part, with a scale in force for such men as were organ­
ized, the scale is published.
Tne union scales in this report are almost entirely time-rate scales.
The only piece-rate scales shown are for lathers, and for machine
operators in the printing trades, and one quotation for freight handlers.
These occupations have simple units of payment which are com­
monly understood. Some trades work to a considerable extent on
piece rates. Such rates are so great in number and the units of pay­
ment so variable that it is not practicable to quote them.
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 converted into common terms, and both
hourly and weekly rates are shown.
The general table shows the rates of wages per hour and the rates
per full-time week, the rates for overtime, 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 pro­
vided 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 that Saturday or some other week
day shall be a day of rest instead of Sunday, tn such cases the pro­
vision for this day has been tabulated as equivalent to the usual
Sunday provision. Likewise, if there is a short day in the week other



E XPtA ieaaa® )' o p t e r m s a n d m e t h o d s

59

than Saturday, it has been tabulated as equivalent to a Saturday pro­
vision. In other words, “ Sunday” is considered as comprehensive
enpugh 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 three months or more of the year the number
of hours differed from that 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 pubEshed was obtained by special
agents of the bureau through personal visits to business agents and
secretaries of the respective trade-unions in the several cities. The
State labor bureaus of Massachusetts, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, for
their ownpurposes, collect union wage scales within their respective
States. To avoid duplication of field work in these States, they
have furnished such information as is necessary to this compilation.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania data were collected entirely by personal
visits of special agents of those States. 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 three State bureaus named,
wage scales, written agreements, and trade-union records were con­
sulted wherever available.
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. 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 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 third hands; in other cities as mixers, benchmen,
oven men, etc. The difference in occupation name makes a com­
parison between cities difficult. Inquiry has shown that the terms
‘ first hand,” “ second hand,” etc., do not cover identical work in
the different cities where theso terms are used. Certain work may
be considered first-hand work in one city and second-hand work in
necessity, this bureau has followed the terminology
There are also great variations in classification and in the extent
of subdivision of chauffeurs, teamsters, and drivera, 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. Special rates for inconsequential groups
within these occupations have been omitted in some cities.
General Table A, which follows, gives in detail the hourly and
full-time weekly rates and hours for each specified trade in each city
for 1925 and for 1924, together with additional information as to
overtime, Sunday, and holiday rates, etc., for 1925.

[In some instances the rate for overtime and for Sunday and holidays is indicated by figures closely followed by the letter c. which means that the amount given is the rate in cents
per hoar. The rate shown for overtime is for the primary overtime only, secondary and other further rates being considered of small importance. When overtime work is pro­
hibited it is indicated by “ Pro.” When no statement is given for 1924 there was no union or, if a union, no effective scale. The few cases in which the day 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.]
