Seventy-nine trades and subdivisions of trades have been included.
The average hourly rates of wages for the several trades and groups
of trades in 1928 in comparison with the rates in 1927 appear in
Table 2, page 5. The hourly rate of wages for all trades herein
shown taken collectively, exclusive of barbers, shows an increase of
four-tenths of 1 per cent. Barbers are not included because of being
paid by commission in addition to rates.
Following is a list of trade groups for which data are shown in this
report and the per cent of change in hourly rate of wages as compared
with 1927.

Weekly hours of all trades taken as a unit have continued the
steady downward trend, decreasing 0.5 per cent in 1928 from 1927.
By trade groups, linemen showed the largest decrease, namely, ninetenths of 1 per cent, closely followed by bakers with seven-tenths of
1 per cent and building trades with six-tenths of 1 per cent. The
other decreases were for longshoremen, one-tenth of 1 per cent; news
paper printing trades, two-tenths of 1 per cent; and book and job
printing, less than one-tenth of 1 per cent. The granite and stone
trades showed no change in hours per week while the chauffeurs and
teamsters, and drivers showed a slight increase of less than one-tenth
of 1 per cent and laundry workers increased four-tenths of 1 per cent.
The average hours for all trades and localities herein covered,
not including bus drivers, barbers, and street railway motormen and
conductors, are 44.9 per week. Hours for bus drivers and motormen
and conductors are omitted because of irregularity of length of runs.
Barbers’ hours are omitted from the average because the hours
agreed to are for the time the shop is open, and they are not strictly
maximum hours as for the other trades listed.
Barbers, bus drivers, and motormen and conductors are all omitted
in the computation of the general index numbers presented later so
that index numbers for both rates and hours may be based on identical
trades.
In reading this report it must be kept in mind that it does not
cover all cities of the United States nor all trades and that the aver
ages are based on the data here compiled. In computing the averages
the rates in the several cities were weighted by the number of members
in the city.
The cities are mainly the largest cities of the country where rates
often are higher than in the small cities. The trades covered are
those in which the workers are almost universally paid at time rates.
It is not practicable to tabulate in this report the many piece rates
that are found in some trades.
Table 1 shows the average hours per full-time week and the per
cent of members, by trade groups, working each classified number of
hours per week. In this table it is of interest to note that in the trades
listed 70.2 per cent of the union members have a 44-hour week and
that 81.5 per cent have a week of 44 hours or less.

1Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
For convenience in comparisons, all rates are shown in Table A
(p. 81) per full-time week as well as per hour. The average full-time
weekly rate for 1928 for all trades combined decreased one-tenth of
1 per cent from the 1927 rate.
Weekly rates in 1928 showed small increases in several groups
ranging from 1 per cent for chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers,
granite and stone trades, and linemen to 5 per cent for longshoremen.
Bakers* weekly rates decreased 1.4 per cent and weekly rates for the
building trades decreased one-tenth of 1 per cent.
It is impossible, of course, to follow up the thousands of individual
union members and get from them the 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.
The rates of wages for bus drivers and barbers were obtained for
the first time in 1927. The majorit}^ of the organized bus drivers
are found to be in the street-railway local unions and in most cases
the busses are auxiliary to the electric street railways.
As shown on page 240, barbers are usually paid a guaranteed rate per
full-time week and in addition participate on some percentage basis
in receipts over a specified amount per week. In a few cases com
pensation 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 75 and 76.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
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, 1928
and 1927, for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for
trade groups in Table 2. 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
number of members is held strictly confidential and is used only for
the purpose of computing the averages.
All trades considered (excluding barbers) it is seen at the end of
Table 2 that the average rate per hour increased from $1,154 in 1927
to $1,159 in 1928 and that, excluding also bus drivers and street
railway occupations, the average was $1,190 per hour in 1927 and
$1,195 in 1928.
There are tabulated for 1928, exclusive of barbers, 4,748 union-scale
quotations, for 280 of which there are no comparable data for 1927.
Of the 4,468 union-scale quotations for which there are comparable
data for 1927, 3,379 had not changed during the year and 1,089 had
changed in rates or hours, or in both of these items. There are 946
instances of an increase in hourly wage rates in 1928 as compared with
1927, 882 instances of an increase in wage rates per week, and 50 in
stances of an increase in hours of labor. There are 84 instances of a
reduction in hourly wage rates in 1928 as compared with 1927, 116
instances of a reduction in wage rates per week, full time, and 114 in
stances of a reduction in hours of labor. Of the 50 instances of in
crease in the hours of labor, 7 occurred in the building trades, 18 in
chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, 1 in longshoremen, 7 in book
and job printing trades, and 17 in the newspaper printing trades.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
8
Studying occupations Table 2 shows, for example, that of the 68
quotations for bricklayers tabulated in 1928 67 were comparable
with 1927, and, further, that of the 67 comparable with 1927 10
increased, 4*decreased, and 53 had no change in wage rates per hour;
10 increased, 5 decreased, and 52 had no change in wage rates per
full-time week, while 1 decreased and 66 had no change in hours per
full-time week. The other items of the table may be read in like
manner.
As before stated, the hours per week and rates of wages per week
for motormen and conductors and bus drivers are of necessity omitted
from this report. Of the 23 wage changes reported for motormen
and conductors 22 were increases and 1 was a decrease in rates of
wages per hour.
Expressed in percentages of the total number of union-scale quo
tations in which there were scale changes, 86.9 per cent resulted in
increases and 7.7 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour;
84.0 per cent provided increases and 11.0 per cent decreases in wage
rates per full-time week; and 4.8 per cent provided increases and 10.9
per cent decreases in the hours per week.
WEEKLY HOURS OF LABOR, BY TRADES
Table 3 shows the percentage of members in each trade or occupa
tion working certain classified hours per week on May 15, 1928.
It will be observed from the table that 96.1 per cent of the bakers
had a week of 48 hours or less; that 97.6 per cent of the building
trades had a week of 44 hours or less; that 81.5 per cent of all union
membership covered for which hours per week were obtained has a
week of 44 hours or less and 91.5 per cent had a week of 48 hours or
less. The painters and fresco painters in the building trades with an
average of 41.5 hours per week had the shortest week, closely followed
by the plasterers with 41.8 hours per week. The longest working
week as shown by the report was that for teamsters and drivers, 55.7
hours, and for chauffeurs, 54.4 hours.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
According to Table 4 the weekly rate of bakers increased 154.5 per
cent between 1913 and 1928. This means that the bakers’ full-time
weekly wage rate in 1928 was slightly more than two and one-half
times the rate of 1913. Between 1907 and 1928 the bakers’ weekly
rate increased 199.1 per cent. In other words, bakers’ wages in
1928 were nearly 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 1928
was in steam and sprinkler fitters’ helpers. Here the increase was
202.6 per cent, making the rafee more than three times as much in
1928 as in 1913. The greatest increase between 1907 and 1928 is also
for steam and sprinkler fitters’ helpers. In this trade the weekly rate
in 1928 was more than three and one-half times the rate in 1907.
INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED, 1907 TO 1928
The index numbers in Table 5 are percentages in which the rates
for all of the years were compared with the rate in the selected base
year, which is taken as 100. Table 5 shows the extent of the changes
in all cities and all trades combined, in union wage rates taken as
a whole for each year from 1907 to 1928; the data for preceding
years are drawn from earlier reports. The pre-war year 1913 is
taken as the base.

Table 5 shows that union wage rates per hour were higher in
1928 than in any preceding year, the index for 1928 being 260.6.
This means that union wage rates per hour as a whole were more
than 2.6 as much in 1928 as they were in 1913.
Full-time hours per week were 8.1 per cent lower in 1928 than in
1913 and full-time weekly earnings were more than 2.4 times as
much in 1928 as in 1913.
As some readers may 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 6 shows an index for wage rates per hour of 290.4 in 1928
as compared with 100 in 1907. This means that the rates per hour
were more than 2.9 times as much in 1928 as in 1907. The index
for full-time hours per week in 1928 is 89.6, meaning that since 1907
full-time hours per week had decreased 10.4 per cent. The index
for full-time rates of wages per week stands at 262.8 in 1928, meaning
that full-time weekly earnings were more than 2.6 times as much in
1928 as in 1907.
An inspection of these index numbers shows that the grand average
of union rates of wages per hour and hours per full-time week has
been increasing each year save one for the last 21 years. The aver
age for 1928 shows the smallest increase in rate per hour, and only
one decrease was noted, the average for 1922 being lower than the
average for 1921. The average rate per full-time week showed an
increase every year except two— 1922 and 1928.
While the rate of wages has been increasing the hours per full-time
week has been almost as steadily decreasing; only two years showed
increases, viz, 1921 and 1922.
To set forth more clearly the extent of change from year to year
in the grand average of union rates of wages per hour and of hours
per full-time week Table 7 is presented. This table shows the per
cent of change in the rate of wages per hour and in the hours per full
time week in May of one year compared with the rate and hours in
May of the the preceding year.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
77
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.
These occupations have simple units of payment which are com
monly 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 great detail, the amount of
23065°— 29-------6

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
the workers’ time involved would be understood by few who were
not acquainted with the industry.
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. 81) 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 part or whole holiday, and the per cent of
members receiving more than scale and the amount or range received.
Corresponding figures for 1927 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 over
time provision for this day has been tabulated as equivalent to the
usual Sunday provision. In other words, “ Sunday ” is considered as
comprehensive 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 the number of hours per week differed during a part of the
year 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/’
Most of the data for this report were obtained by special agents of
the bureau through personal visits to business agents, secretaries, or
other officials of the respective trade-unions in the several cities. The
State labor bureaus of Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wiscon
sin, for their own purposes, collect union-wage scales within their respec
tive States. To avoid duplication of field work in these States they
have furnished such information as is necessary to this compilation.
The Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin data were collected entirely
by personal visits of special agents of those States. The Massachu
setts 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 four State bureaus named,
wage scales, written agreements, and trade-union records were con
sulted wherever available. Over 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.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
79
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 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.
80
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
The same method w^as 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
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 repre
sent the per cent of increase or decrease between the different years.
For example, referring to page 17, the index number of bakers’
rates of wages per week in 1907 was 85.1 as compared with 254.5
in 1928, making an increase of 169.4 points in the index number.
This 169.4 is 199.1 per cent of 85.1, thus making the increase in 1928
over 1907, 199.1 per cent as shown in Table 4.
