Eighty trades and subdivisions of trades have been included.
Most agreements for the year are settled before M ay 15.
The average rates for the several trades and groups of trades in
1927 in comparison with the rates in 1926 appear in Table 1, page 4.
The hourly rates of wages for all trades herein shown taken collec
tively, exclusive of the street railway occupations, show an advance
from $1,148 per hour in 1926 to $1,190 per hour in 1927, an increase
of 3.7 per cent. Following is a list of trade groups for which data are
shown in this report and the per cent of change in hourly wages
as compared with 1926. Bus drivers have been omitted from these
groups because data were not secured until 1927.

Weekly hours for all trades taken as a unit have changed but
slightly since 1926, having decreased 0.5 per cent. The only sig
nificant changes in hours per week were those for chauffeurs and
teamsters and drivers, which showed a decrease of 1.4 per cent, and
for longshoremen, a decrease of "1.3 per cent. Linemen showed an
increase of 0.2 per cent and granite and stone trades an increase of
0.1 per cent. The other groups had slight decreases.
The average hours for the United States in all trades herein cov
ered, not including street railways, are 45.2 per week. 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. For their rates see page 228.
In the following statement the average hours for the several groups
are shown. Hours for bus drivers and motormen and conductors
are omitted because of irregularity of rims. Barbers’ hours are
omitted because hours agreed to are for time shop is open and are mini
mum hours.

For convenience in comparisons, all rates are shown per full-time
week as well as per hour. The average full-time weekly rates for
1927 for all trades combined showed an advance of 3.2 per cent over
the 1926 figures.
Weekly rates in 1927 showed small increases in several groups,
ranging irom one-tenth of 1 per cent for linemen to 4 per cent for
chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers. Three groups showed de
creases—longshoremen, 3.6 per cent; laundry workers, 2 per cent;
and granite and stone trades, 0.6 per cent.
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.
This year, in addition to the foregoing, a tabulation has been made
of the rates of wages for 2,730 bus drivers and 23,670 barbers, for
which see pages 231 and 232.
The majority of the organized bus drivers were found to be in the
street railway local unions and in most cases the busses are auxiliary
to the electric street railways. It was found impracticable to tabu
late the number of hours worked and the full-time earnings per week
RATES OF WAGES IN SPECIFIED TRADES

for bus drivers owing to the variation in length and the shifting of
trips, as is also the case with street-railway motormen and conductors.
The manner of the compensation of barbers is such that it is im
practicable to show rates per hour or total full-time earnings per week.
As shown on page 232, organized barbers are usually paid a guaranteed
rate per full-time week and in addition participate on some per
centage basis in receipts over a specified amount per week. In
a few cases, compensation is based entirely on a percentage of the
amount taken in, with no guaranty given. The hours shown are
minimum full-time hours per week exclusive of time taken for meals.
The agreements provide that the barber shop shall close daily at a
definite time and that the barbers shall continue working on all
patrons in the shop at that time, no extra compensation being allowed
for the overtime.
For a description of the scope of this report and the methods fol
lowed see pages 72 and 74.
AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES AND NUMBER OF
CHANGES IN UNION SCALES, BY TRADES
The average money rates of wages per hour as of M ay 15, 1927
and 1926, 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. The
membership is held strictly confidential and is used only for the
purpose of computing the averages.
There are tabulated for 1927, 4,595 union-scale quotations, for
335 of which there are no comparable data for 1926. Of the 4,260
union-scale quotations for which there are comparable data for
1926, 2,742 had not changed during the year and 1,518 had changed
in rates or hours or in both of these items. There are 1,409 instances
of an increase in hourly wage rates in 1927 as compared with 1926,
1,291 instances of an increase in wage rates per week, and 35 instances
of an increase in hours of labor. There are 64 instances of a reduc
tion in hourly wage rates in 1927 as compared with 1926, 96 instances
of a reduction in wage rates per week, full time, and 146 instances of
a reduction in hours of labor. Of the 35 instances of increase in the
hours of labor, 10 occurred in the bakery trades, 3 in the building
trades, 11 in chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, 2 in the granite
and stone trades, 1 in linemen, 2 in longshoremen, 4 in book and job
printing trades, and 2 in the newspaper printing trades.

Table 1 shows that of the 260 bakery trade quotations comparable
with 1926,32 had an increase, 12 a decrease, and 216 had no change in
wage rates per hour; 25 had an increase, 2 a decrease, and 233 no
change in wage rates per week, full time; while 10 had an increase,
7 a decrease, and 243 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 58 changes reported for this group 55 were increases
and 3 were decreases in rates of wages per hour.
Expressed in percentages of the total number (1,518) of union-scale
quotations in which there were changes, 92.8 per cent resulted in
increases and 4.2 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour;
85.0 per cent provided increases and 6.3 per cent decreases in wage
rates per full-time week; and 2.3 per cent provided increases and
9.7 per cent decreases in the hours per week.
WEEKLY HOURS OF LABOR, BY TRADES
Table 2 shows the percentage of members in each trade or occu
pation working certain classified hours per week on M ay 15, 1927.
It will be observed from the table that 95.8 per cent of the bakers
had a week of 48 hours or less; that 97.3 per cent of the building trades
had a week of 44 hours or less; that 80.7 per cent of all the union
membership covered had a week of 44 hours or less and 90.9 per
cent a week of 48 hours or less.
The combined organized trades herein represented have thus
nearly reached the 8-hour day, and more than four-fifths of their
membership have also attained the Saturday half-holiday, result
ing in a 44-hour week.

3 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
According to Table 3 the weekly rate of bakers increased 158.0 per
cent between 1913 and 1927. This means that the bakers’ full-time
weekly wage rate in 1927 was slightly more than two and one-half
times the rate of 1913. Between 1907 and 1927 the bakers’ weekly
rate increased 203.2 per cent. In other words, bakers’ wages in
1927 were more than three times those of 1907.
Data for all trades are not available as far back as 1913. So far
as shown, the greatest increase in any trade between 1913 and 1927
was in steam and sprinkler fitters’ helpers. Here the increase was
197.1 per cent, making the rate 2.97 times as much in 1927 as in 1913.
The greatest increase between 1907 and 1927 is also for steam and
sprinkler fitters’ helpers. In this trade the weekly rate in 1927 was
more than three and one-half times the rate in 1907.

The index numbers in Table 4 are s i m p ly percentages in which the
ratesfor allof the years were compared with the rate in theselected base
year, which is taken as 100. Table 4 shows the extent of the changes
in all cities and all trades combined, in union wage scales taken as
a whole for each year from 1907 to 1927; the data for preceding
years are drawn from earlier reports. The pre-war year 1913 is
taken as the base.

Table 4 shows that union wage rates per hour were higher in
1927 than in any preceding year, the index for 1927 being 259.5.
This means that union wage rates per hour as a whole were more
than two and one-half times as much in 1927 as they were in 1913.
Full-time hours per week were 7.6 per cent lower in 1927 than in
1913 and full-time weekly earnings were more than two and onethird times as much in 1927 as in 1913.
As some readers m ay desire to make comparisons with the initial
year, 1907, a table of index numbers has been computed from the
same basic figures, starting with 1907 as 100.

Table 5 shows an index for wage rates per hour of 289.2 in 1927 as
compared with 100 in 1907. This means that the rates per hour
were more than two and three-fourths times as much in 1927 as in
1907. The index for full-time hours per week in 1927 is 90.0, mean
ing that since 1907 full-time hours per week had decreased 10 per cent.
The index for full-time rates of wages per week stands at 263.1 in 1927,
meaning that full-time #weekly earnings were more than two and
one-half times as much in 1927 as in 1907.
An inspection of these index numbers shows that the grand average
of union rates of wages per hour and per full-time week has been
steadily increasing for the last twenty years, only one recession being
noted, the rate in 1922 being lower than the rate in 1921.
While the rate of wages has been increasing, the hours of labor
have been almost as steadily decreasing, although at a smaller rate
of change.
To set forth more clearly the extent of change in the grand average
of union rate of wages per hour from year to year Table 6 is pre
sented. This table shows the per cent of change in the rate per hour
in M ay of one year over the rate per hour in M ay of the preceding
year.

Certain other trades and trade groups not included in this report
have been carried by the bureau in the union wage reports in pre
ceding years. A list of these trades and the bulletins in which they
appear are stated in Bulletin 404, page 57.
The asterisks in the preceding list indicate cities added since the
first report. In Table A, page 78, data for each of the cities are given
for each trade in which a scale was in effect.

UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
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, however, the
union scale represents the prevailing wage of a locality.
In cases where bonuses are definitely reported in one fixed amount
and apparently are to remain in effect indefinitely, such bonuses
have been combined with the regular rate.
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 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 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. When
organized in part, with a scale in force for such men as were organized,
the scale is published.
The 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 longshoremen
and one for laundry workers. These occupations have simple units
of payment which are commonly understood. Many trades work to
a large 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. And further, though the piece units were described in grSat
detail, the amount of the workers’ time involved would be under
stood by few who were not acquainted with the industry.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
75
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.
General Table A (p. 78) 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
provided for a Saturday half holiday, and the per cent of members
receiving more than scale and the amount or range received. Cor
responding figures for 1926 are reproduced, in part, in this table.
Certain unions have agreements that Saturday or some other week
day shall be a day of rest instead of Sunday. In such cases the pro
vision for this day has been tabulated as equivalent to the usual
Sunday provision. In other words, “ Sunday ” is considered as com
prehensive enough to cover any fixed rest day. Likewise, if there is
a short day in the week other than Saturday, it has been tabulated
as equivalent to a Saturday provision.
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 W as 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.”
Most of the data for this report were obtained by special agents
of the bureau through personal visits to business agents and secre
taries of the respective trade-unions in th.e 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, 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. About 2,000 union representatives were
visited.
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,
76
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
second hands, and third hands; in other cities as mixers, benchmen,
oven men, etc. The difference in occupation names 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 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 has followed the terminology
used in each city.
There are also great variations in classification and in the extent
of subdivision of chauffeurs and 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. Special rates for inconsequential groups
within these occupations have been omitted in some cities.
As stated before, the average rates shown in preceding tables were
obtained by multiplying the rate for each city by the number of
union members, adding the products for all cities, and dividing the
sum by the aggregate membership in all cities. The same method
was used in computing average hours.
The averages are based on all data available each year. There
may be an effective scale in a city one year and not in the next year.
If there is no effective scale, the city does not enter into the average.
A change in the average, therefore, is possible though there be no
change in any of the other cities.
Further, there may be a change in the average when there is no
change in the rate or hours for any city, all due to a change in the
relative number of union members. If there is an increase in mem
bership in high-rate cities and not in low-rate cities the average for the
country is raised. Conversely, if increase of ^membership occurs in
the low-rate rather than in the high-rate cities the average is lowered.
A few changes in the large widespread trades may cause but little
change in the average, while a few changes in a trade limited as to
cities or as to membership may materially affect the average.
Index numbers are computed to make comparisons easier as
between years. They are only percentages which show the increase
or decrease in all other years as compared with one year selected as
the base. In most of the tables 1913 is taken as the base. In other
tables 1907, the first year of this series of reports, is taken as the base.
The index numbers for rates have been obtained by computing
ratios from the rates for each two successive years and, beginning
with the base year, compounding the ratios each year. The ratio
of the 1914 rate to the 1913 rate is the index number for 1914.
The index number for 1914 thus found, multiplied by the ratio of
1915 to 1914, gives the index number for 1915, etc.
In the earlier years the ratio was based on the average as computed
from identical unions that reported for both years, old quotations
dropping out and new quotations coming in being omitted from the
average. In the later years the averages are based on all data
received each year.
The same method was used in computing index numbers of hours
and of wages per full-time week.
In computing the general index number when an industry is added
or omitted the ratio is based on the data for identical industries.
Here it is not a question of a trade or an industry coming into or
EXPLANATION OF TEEMS AND METHODS

passing out of existence, but a question of discontinuing or taking on
an industry that is in existence. To illustrate, the metal industry and
the millwork industry were omitted in 1925 and have been since, as it
was known that more representative data for these two industries
could be obtained from establishment pay rolls. These trades were
covered in 1924 and earlier years and entered into the general index
for all trades in those years. Before computing the general index
for 1925 a new grand average was computed for all trade groups,
with these trade groups omitted. Then the ratio between 1924 and
1925 for all the remaining trade groups combined was computed and
the general index for 1924 was multiplied by this ratio to get the
general index for 1925.
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, referring to page 14, the index number for rates of
wages per week of bakers in 1907 was 85.1 as compared with 258.0
in 1927, making an increase of 172.9 points in the index number.
One hundred and seventy-two and nine-tenths is 203.2 per cent of
85.1, thus making the increase in 1926 over 1907, 203.2 per cent,
as shown in Table 3.
