UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1927-1928: SUPPLE­
MENT TO BULLETIN NO. 457
INTRODUCTION
This report is designed to cover wages and hours of labor in union
trades and occupations not shown in the bureau’s previous union
wage scales bulletins which have included only those trades which are
found chiefly in the larger cities and which readily lend themselves to
a fixed form of tabulation.
The information shown in the present report was gathered mainly
by correspondence with the national or international unions, although
some personal visits were made in certain cases, generally to secure
data for the larger organizations most of whose members are employed
on piecework. While for various reasons no data have been obtained
from many of the organizations, it is hoped that in future bulletins
the bureau may be able to publish a larger and more nearly complete
compilation.
In general, the same industry grouping has been followed here as
was used in the Handbook of American Trade-Unions (Bui. No. 420).
The building-trades group has been omitted entirely because these
workers are covered quite fully in the regular union wage bulletins.
In other groups many trades or occupations are omitted for the
same reason, as for. instance, the printing and bookbinding trades in
the paper and printing group.
In some cases the international union was able to supply a scale of
rates applicable to a large percentage of its members. In other cases
average rates were furnished, but many organizations furnished only
one or two agreements regarded as being typical of rates in the trade.
Under the 15 general groups given, data are shown for 63 organi­
zations. These organizations represent a membership of approxi­
mately 2,000,000 workers. While these wage figures do not pretend
fully to represent wages for this number of wage earners the presenta­
tion will, it is felt, supply, to the best of the bureau’s limited facilities
for such work, valuable wage data for which considerable demand has
been made in the past.
The dates covered by the agreements vary. While the requests of
the bureau were addressed to organizations in the latter part of 1927,
and replies were received at various times up to the first of the calendar
year 1928, it should be a fair assumption that the data given quite
adequately represent wage rates for at least the early months of
1928. Since many agreements remain in effect over a period of
several years it is likely that many of these shown are still in effect
at the present time. However, should succeeding reports of a similar
character be made by the bureau, it is planned to obtain the data as
of M ay 15, which is the date of the regular union wage reports.

9 40 hours from June 15 to Sept. 15.

In Savannah, Ga., the boilermakers have an agreement with the
contract shops fixing 90 cents per hour as the wage for all mechanics.
If a second or third shift is established for not less than 30 days,
employees working on such shifts receive compensation of 10 cents
per hour in advance of same class of employees working on first or
day shift. Eight hours constitute a day's wrork; 48 hours, a week’s
wrork. All overtime and work performed on Sundays or holidays
is paid for at double the regular rate.
Under the stove mounters’ scale in the Belleville (111.) agreement
shown in Table 1, piecework earnings average $1.61 per hour for
furnace mounters; $1.26 per hour for stove mounters; $1.30 per
hour for range mounters; $1.21 per hour for cutters and punchers;
and $1.22 per hour for welders.
Stove M ounters’ Local No. 55 at Port Chester (N. Y .) has an
agreement with the employers which establishes a scale for day
work, in all departments, of $7 per day or 8 7 cents per hour. For
piecework the employees receive 87 per cent in the mounting and
boiler department; 62 per cent in the sheet-metal department, and
23 per cent in the pip e-bench department. The agreement provides
for an 8-hour day and 48-hour wreek except during the months of
June, July, August, and September, when a week consists of 53^2
days or 44 hours. Time and one-half is paid for all overtime and
for work performed on legal holidays.

TRANSPORTATION— RAILROADS

In the case of conductors and trainmen in passenger service, the
daily rate is computed from an average run of 150 miles. Thus, a
conductor would receive one hundred and fifty times the mile rate of
4.8 cents, or $7.20; this is his minimum daily rate, even though the
run may be less than 150 miles. If his run exceeds 150 miles, he is
paid the specified rate per mile for each mile of the run.
I t is provided, however, that when the monthly earnings of regularly
assigned passenger trainmen from daily guaranties, mileage, overtime
and othar rules do not produce the following average amounts per
day, they will be paid for each day service is performed:

In the freight service “ 100 miles or less, 8 hours or less (straight­
away or turnaround” constitute a day's work, and all runs in excess
of 100 miles are paid for at the regular mileage rate.
The provisions for overtime in the passenger service read as follows:
(a) Trainmen on short turnaround passenger runs, no single trip of which ex­
ceeds 80 miles, including suburban and branch line service, shall be paid over­
time for all time actually on duty, or held for duty in excess of 8 hours (com­
puted on each run from the time required to report for duty to the end of that run)
within 10 consecutive hours; and also for all time in excess of 10 consecutive
hours computed continuously from the time first required to report to the final
release at the end of the last run. Time shall be counted as continuous service
in all cases where the interval of release from duty at any point does not exceed
one hour. This rule applies regardless of mileage made.
For calculating overtime under this rule the management may designate the
initial trip.
(b) Trainmen on other passenger runs shall be paid overtime on a speed basis
of 20 miles per hour computed continuously from the time required to report for
duty until released at the end of last run. Overtime shall be computed on the
basis of actual overtime worked or held for duty, except that when the minimum
day is paid for the service performed overtime shall not accrue until the expiration
of 7 hours and 30 minutes from time of first reporting for duty.
(c) Overtime in all passenger service shall be paid for on the minute basis a t a
rate per hour of not less than one-eighth of the daily rate herein provided.

In the freight service it is provided that­
ch) On runs of 100 miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of 8 hours;

on runs of over 100 miles overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the
miles run divided by 12J^. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis, at a
rate per hour of three-sixteenths of the daily rate.
(c) Road conductors and trainmen performing more than one class of road
service in a day or trip will be paid for the entire service at the highest rate applica­
ble to any class of service performed. The overtime basis for the rate paid will
apply for the entire trip.
SLEEPING-CAR CONDUCTORS

The rates of pay of sleeping-car conductors are computed on
the basis of 240 hours7 service per month. For overtime up to a
total of 270 hours in a month the regular rate is paid; for all time over
270 hours the rate is time and a half. The hours of these employees
are further regulated by Rule 5, wliich reads, “ not less than 96 hours
off duty each month in 24-consecutive-hour periods or multiples
thereof, will be allowed at designated hour terminals.”

LOCOM OTIVE EN G IN EER S AND FIR EM EN

D ata have been obtained concerning engineers and firemen on the
eastern railroads, including, generally, those roads having head­
quarters east of Chicago and north of the Ohio River. These roads
employ approximately 40,000 engineers. While rates for these occu­
pations on roads vary slightly, the data shown may be taken as
representative of the entire organization, which in this country and
Canada includes nearly 100,000 engineers and more than the same
number of firemen.
The minimum rate of pay for railroad engineers is the day rate
shown in Table 4; the maximum rate if figured on the mileage basis,
by multiplying the rate per mile by the number of miles of run. A
fair average run in the passenger service is said to be about 150 miles
and in the freight service 100 miles.
The rates are based, as is seen by reference to Table 4, upon the
weight on the drivers. I t should be pointed out in this connection,
however, that this weight is susceptible of variation by adjustment
of the mechanism, so that the weight may be shifted forward to the
engine’s trucks or backward to the engine’s trailers. A “ M allet”
engine is a multiple engine used in mountain service.

MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY EM PLO YEES

Table 6 below shows the rates of the various classes of maintenance-of-way employees, as established by agreement. These data
were supplied by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees.
The union states that practically all the men work eight hours per
day. Overtime is paid for at the regular rate for the ninth and tenth
hours, and at the rate of time and one-half thereafter.
Pumpers and crossing watchmen work 365 days in the year and their
hours vary from 8 to 12 per day. These employees are paid on a
monthly basis.

shown are therefore representative to that extent. On the other
railroads, with a few exceptions, the rates for this occupation are
approximately 5 per cent lower than those given.
In this occupation the 8-hour day and 48-hour week prevail.
Overtime and work on holidays is paid for at the rate of time and a
half.

RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS

The data in the table below were furnished by the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers and cover about 58,000 workers. The positions range
from work where telegraphy is an incident to the job to positions
requiring almost constant use of the key.
Rates of wages are found to vary greatly within the same occupa­
tion, due largely to the location of the station or the importance of
position filled, and for this reason the rates shown in Table 8 are
averages.
Telegraphers work an 8-hour day and a 48-hour week and are paid
time and a half for overtime.

TRAIN DISPATCHERS

Train dispatchers generally work an 8-hour day and 48-hour week.
The agreement usually provides that the chief dispatcher shall have
one day off in each seven days. During his absence his position is
filled by the extra or relief dispatcher, who receives the regular rate
paid to the man relieved. The agreement furnished by the American
Train Dispatchers’ Association covers employees of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railway Co. only. The secretary-treasurer
of the union states, however, that the agreements may be considered
representative of practically all roads in the United States, although
there are slight differences from road to road.
Under the agreement with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway Co., chief and night chief dispatchers receive $11 per day,
while trick, relief, and extra dispatchers receive $9.65 per day.

Table 13, below, data for which were furnished by the United
Mine Workers of America, shows the tonnage and day rates estab­
lished by the so-called Jacksonville agreement for the Hocking district
of Ohio.3
The Jacksonville agreement was in general effect in the union
districts until April 1, 1927, when, owing to the inability of the oper­
ators and mine workers to agree on a new scale, a suspension occurred.
No general settlements were effected until the latter part of 1928,
when various large districts signed new agreements which provided
for somewhat lower wage rates than those contained in the Jackson­
ville agreement. Some of these new scales were given in the Labor
Review for October, 1928 (pp. 196-202).

M INE, MILL, AND SM ELTER WORKERS

Agreements were not available showing general wage rates for
mine, mill, and smelter workers. Wages w^ere supplied by the
International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers for one
Montana mine, however, and while these are not entirely repre­
sentative because of the fact that “ the largest portion of the miners
work under the contract system/’ they do serve to give some idea
of wages and hours. These employees work an 8-hour day, and
receive the following rates:

The agreement specifies that in mills using the Tremblay mixing
system, the rate for beater engineers shall be two classes higher than
the stipulated tonnage rate. In mills using over 50 per cent “ lap
stock,” beater engineers receive 1 cent per hour over the schedule;
in mills making manila or fiber papers from “ slush stock,” 2 cents per
hour over the schedule; and in mills in which colored manila papers
are made from “ lap stock,” 3 cents per hour over the schedule.
Table 19 shows the rates of machine hands in newsprint mills. As
appears, the rate per hour increases with the speed and width of
the machine. Thus, a machine tender on a machine 50 inches wide,
running at a speed of 50 feet per minute, receives 76 cents per hour,
while a machine tender on a machine 270 inches wide, running 1,600
feet per minute, receives a rate of $2.05 per hour.

PA PER AND PU LP INDUSTRY

Boss machine tenders or foremen on paper machines in newsprint
mills receive 10 cents per hour per machine higher than the rate
paid to the highest-paid machine tender on machines over 150 inches,
and 5 cents per hour over the highest-paid machine tender on all
machines under 150 inches. Thus, in a mill with four machines of
which two are over 150 inches in width and two under 150 inches
the boss machine tender’s rate would be 30 cents per hour more than
the rate of the highest-paid machine tender.
Table 20 below shows the local wage rates established by agreement
with specified mills for the various classes of paper and pulp mill work.
The agreement covers members of the International Brotherhood of
Paper Makers and of the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite,
and Paper Mill Workers.
The employees generally work an 8-hour day and 48-hour week,
except in a few cases, the principal exceptions being the bag-factory
employees of the Advance Bag and Paper Co. and the Gilman Paper
Co.; and the sweepers, utility men, and employees in the finishing,
shipping, receiving, and machine departments of the latter company,
all of whom work 9 hours per day and 50 hours per week; and all of
the employees of Alfred Bleyer & Co., who work 4 6 ^ hours per week.
For overtime work, time and a half is paid in nearly all cases. In
a very few instances the agreement fails to make any provision as
regards rates for overtime.

The minimum wage for journeyman cutters is $45.50 for a 44-hour
week. All overtime or work performed on holidays is paid for at the
rate of time and one-half.




CLOTHING INDUSTRY
WOM EN’S AND CHILDREN’S HAT WORKERS

An agreement dated January 15, 1927, covering makers of women’s
and children's hats in New York City, is indicative of the union rates
of wages paid some thousands of workers making hats and caps for
women and children. The rates quoted are the minimum time rates
paid. Piece rates usually produce greater earnings and are built up
on a slightly higher scale.
The agreement provides for a 53^-day, 44-hour week, with a further
provision that should the 5-day, 40-hour week be established in the
millinery trade during the life of the agreement, it shall be introduced
into the shops. No more than eight hours’ overtime is permitted
during the week and no more than two hours’ overtime in any one day.
Overtime on Saturday may be permitted with the consent of the union
when it is found to be absolutely necessary, but no work is permitted
on Sunday. The agreement provides for seven paid holidays.
Under the agreement cutters, operators, and blockers are paid
$1.24 per hour, or $55 per week; unskilled or minor operators 90
cents per hour, or $40 per week; and trimmers 75 cents per hour, or
$33 per week.
W OM EN’S GARMENT WORKERS

Cloak makers.— An agreement of January 5, 1927, between the cloak
manufacturers and the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’
Union establishes union wage rates for the city of New York. This
agreement covers several thousands of workers.
Under the terms of the agreement, no overtime is permitted between
November 15 and December 31, nor between May 1 and July 15, nor
at any other time unless an establishment operates at full capacity
in all branches. When overtime is worked, it may not exceed 8
hours in any week nor 2 hours in any day and is restricted to the
first 4 working days of the week. Six paid holidays are provided for
and a half day on election day.
The table following shows the weekly rates of wages and their
equivalent on an hourly basis, the hours per week, and the overtime
rate, as provided by the agreement.

At San Francisco, Calif., the brewery workers by agreement with
brewery associations have established a minimum wage of $40 per
week for all employees in breweries, malt house and sirup depart­
ments. They work an 8-hour day and 44-hour week. All overtime,
or work performed on Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and holidays is
paid for at the rate of time and one-half.
FISHERM EN
DEEP-SEA FISHING

Members of the Deep Sea Fishermen’s Union of the Pacific are
employed on vessels engaged in deep-sea fishing only and not in
fishing for canneries, which is of a seasonal character.
No hours are set by their agreement, and it is therefore fair to
assume that the hours are largely dictated by necessity. Wages are
paid on the pound basis, as follows: Halibut, 3^2 cents; black cod
(sablefish),
cents; and other acceptable varieties, 1 Y<i cents.
When deckhands are not obtainable the fishermen agree to do the
necessary deckhand’s work and receive therefor the deckhands’ wages.
The employer agrees that the fishermen shall be represented on the
scales by one of their own members and that they shall receive their
pay checks after vessels are in port 24 hours.
Halibut fishing.— A second agreement of the same organization,
covering halibut fishing, covers all members of a crew except the
captain or an employee who owns one-fourth or more of a vessel.
The fishermen agree to pay their share of grub, fuel oils, cylinder
oils, cup greases, waste, ice, salt, and bait, and to keep the fishing
gear in good order and to replace lost and condemned fishing gear.
“ The share of the vessel shall be one-fifth of the gross stock except
when gear is lost.”
The agreement provides that one fisherman approved by the captain
shall attend the weighing of the fish and must, in the captain’s absence,
assume all responsibility therefor. Settlement is made (in the port
where the fish is sold) between the captain or his agent and the fisher­
men. After the bills are paid, back bills are to be paid as follows:
When the share is $25 or less, nothing shall be taken out; when the
share is over $25, one-half of the amount from $25 to the full share
shall be taken out. If the captain desires to fit out on a cash basis,
he shall be empowered to use the proceeds of the voyage for this pur­
pose. When money from the stock is used for cash payments, the
members of the crew shall receive their share of whatever discount
may be allowed for such cash payments.
The agreement further provides that it is the duty of fishermen to
discharge fish “ from tackle to scale,” head fish if required, to “ wash
out fish holds and decks,” also keep living quarters sanitary.
SARDINE FISHING

An agreement furnished by the Monterey Fishermen’s Protective
Union, whose members are engaged in sardine fishing, provides that
from the total earnings of each boat a deduction shall be made of
the expenses for gas and oil for the boat’s operation, also expenses
for the car each day, and 50 cents per day shall be paid to each
fisherman for each day he is called upon to nsh.



90

UNION SCALES— SUPPLEMENT

After the above deductions have been made, the boat owner is to
receive four shares, and each fisherman one share. No fewer than
11 fishermen, including owner, are to be employed on each boat.
The boat owner receives and is responsible for all moneys received
from canners and must pay off the crew every 15 days.
SALMON FISHING

The agreement of the Union of Seamen, Fishermen, and Trapmen
with the packers in the salmon industry is made a part of the shipping
articles between the members signing and the packers or association
of packers.
Wages and hours of employment vary with conditions, and the
men may be called upon for “ work day or night (Sundays and holi­
days not excepted), according to the lawful orders of the captain/’
and for work on boats, lighters, vessels, in canneries, salteries, etc.,
but 48 hours constitute a week’s work before and after the fishing
season. The beginning and ending of the fishing season is determined
by the superintendent. Extra compensation is provided at 75 cents
per hour for any man working more than 48 hours during any week
or more than 11 hours in any 24, or on Sundays or holidays.
Other provisions of the agreement relating to gill-net fishermen
include the following:
(a) Each gill-net fisherman shall receive in addition to the wages of $150 for
the run and all other moneys earned under this agreement 20 cents for each
king salmon weighing over 15 pounds (king salmon under 15 pounds to be ac­
cepted two for one), 4J/g cents for each red or coho salmon, 1J^ cents for each
chum salmon, and % cent for each pink salmon caught and delivered to the
(company).

{d) When boats are on the limit they may make one or more deliveries be­
tween midnight and midnight, but all boats must be discharged clean at the
receiving station in the presence'of the tallymen. Accurate account of all salmon
discharged above limit to be kept by tallymen and such salmon shall be credited
pro rata to all boats short of the limit, but in no event shall any boat be credited
in excess of the limit except when detained as provided hereafter in this section.
Any boat short of the limit is permitted to receive from any other boats sufficient
salmon to fill the limit.
Any boat detained from delivering salmon at receiving station for more than
5 hours after having there reported arrival shall be credited with 100 red salmon
for each hour’s detention, but not more than 1,200 salmon, in addition to all
salmon delivered on such day, shall be allowed for 24 hour’s detention. The
same rule to apply when boats are on the limit. Boats must have nets cleared
before arrival at receiving station.
(e) Fishing boats and crews ordered transferred to fish at another station than
the one originally attached to shall be selected by lot.
(/) No fishing to be done on any fishing grounds closed by the United States
Government.
(g) Fishermen and trapmen hired in Alaska shall commence work with the
arrival of the first vessel carrying cannery crews and cease work with the de­
parture of the last vessel of their stations, and shall each receive in place of run
money the sum of $75 together with any other compensation provided for fisher­
men and trapmen in this agreement.

CIGAR M A KERS

The rates paid for cigar making vary according to the length of
the cigar, its size, and shape, and in each of these according to the
quality or kind of tobacco used. It may therefore be readily under­
stood that the difficulties entailed in showing both the bill of prices
for these units and their combination as well as an average fair day’s
work would involve a great deal of space to very little purpose.
Another difficulty is to be found in the widely scattered localities in
which cigars are made. The headquarters of the Cigar M akers’ Inter­
national Union has, however, after considerable analysis, furnished
the bureau with the average rate per thousand cigars paid to union
cigar makers, as well as an estimate of the average output per man
in an 8-hour day. These figures are shown in the following table:

UNION SCALES— SUPPLEMENT

not more than 48 hours per week at walling and daubing. Setting
gangs on machine setting yards, and all the men assisting them, work
10 hours per day working straight time, and are paid time and a
half for all time in excess of 10 hours. All repair work in excess of
eight hours is paid for at rate of time and a half.
Work at brickmaking is prohibited on Sundays or New Y ear’s
Day, Decoration Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day, and Christmas, but other work may be performed on these days
and shall be paid for at rate of time and a half.
GLASS INDUSTRY
FLINT GLASS WORKERS

The agreement of the American Flint GJass Workers’ Union of
North America gives a very detailed schedule of rates for workers on
pressed and blown glassware. This schedule establishes piece rates
for hundreds of different articles of glassware and is far too extensive
to be reproduced here. Some of the basic rates are as follows:
Mold makers.—Weekly rates of $30, $35, $40, $45, and $48 for
48-hour week, with a half day on Saturday, and time and a half for
overtime
Cutters.— Minimum rate per week of 48 hours, $26.28. Basic wage
for establishing piece rate on new work is 70 cents per hour, or $33.60
per week. Piece rates per dozen are also established for about 100
articles. Cutting done on the piece basis is affected by the size,
design, and shape of the article and the operation performed.
Lamp-working department.— For day work, minimum is $25 per
week and maximum is $44 for 47-hour week. Prices per gross are
also given on 100 or more small vials, culture tubes, hypodermic
syringes, etc.
Pressed ware and handmade stoppers made in bottle factories.— The
price per gross is affected by the size, weight, shape, style, and finish
of the article. Some representative rates for pressmen are given in
Table 34. Gatherers work on a piece rate equivalent to 75 per cent of
the pressmen’s rate.

GLASS-BOTTLE BLOWERS

In the pressed-ware and affiliated departments the rates for bottle
blowers are based on specific pieces or product, for which there are
thousands of quotations.
The method of payment is shown by Tables 35 and 36, giving the
rates for machine glass-bottle blowing and for stopper grinding.
These data were furnished by the Glass Bottle Blowers’ Association
of the United States and Canada.
Glass-bottle blowers work 8 hours per day and 44 hours per week,
while stopper grinders work 8 per day and 48 per week.

P O TT ER Y W O R K E R S

The wage agreements of pottery workers indicate that the earnings
of nearly all persons engaged in that industry are computed from a
piece-rate basis, the unit of measurement being the dozen, piece,
kiln day or cubic feet of space.
The rates quoted in the agreements (for white granite and semi­
porcelain and china) are very numerous, consideration being given
to the size, weight, shape, and difficulty of producing the style or
design.6
• For a full compilation of pottery workers’ wages see Bureau of Labor Statistics Bu lletin No. 412.
an appendix (pp. 112-175) the wage agreements are printed in full.

AMUSEMENT INDUSTRIES
MUSICIANS

The printed agreements of unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Musicians show a great number of rates. There are
many special rates for holidays or special engagements of infrequent
occurrence, differing widely in the various cities. Rates are affected
by many conditions; for example, playing as a soloist, the length of the
engagement, playing at late hours or with less than a full orchestra
or band, playing for continuous dancing or outside of city, wearing
uniforms, playing two instruments, playing at rehearsals or substi­
tuting for regular man, holiday work, transportation of men and
instruments, meals and lodging, etc. This great diversity of rates
renders impractical, for the purposes of this bulletin, a complete
compilation of the rates of wages of musicians. I t is believed, how­
ever, that a fair representation is made in Table 45, showing for
approximately 65,000 union musicians, in 54 cities, three groups of
rates for each of the cities; namely, rates for the ordinary single en­
gagement, rates for regular or season engagements at hotels, and rates
for season engagements in theaters.
The ordinary single engagement, in most cities, covers or includes
such engagements as ordinary parties, dances, balls, concerts, picnics,
etc. The season engagements at hotels and in theaters cover those
musicians regularly employed for a specified consecutive period of
weeks, a contract usually being required. Rates for single engage­
ments or engagements for less than a season are at higher rates than
season engagements for like services. The agreements generally pro­
vide that on this class of work one rehearsal may be given free each
week.

STAGE E M P LO Y E ES AND M O TIO N -PICTU RE MACHINE O PERA TO RS

An adequate idea of the wages in the occupations coming under
the jurisdiction of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United
States and Canada may be obtained from the data given in Table 46,
which, while not covering all agreements for the United States, does
cover such a large number that it is believed to be sufficiently
comprehensive.
The hours in these occupations are very irregular, for the reason
that they are dictated entirely by the size of the theater and the num­
ber of performances. The data for hours shown in the table give a
fair picture of such conditions.
