UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, MAY 15,1931
INTRODUCTION
Since 1911 the Bureau of Labor Statistics each year has collected,
compiled, and published statistics relating to the wage rates and hours
of labor as agreed to by organized workers and their employers.
The study, until 1928, was limited almost exclusively to the principal
general trades paid at time rates and to the principal cities of the
country. The trades covered in these annual reports have varied
from year to year and the list of cities has been increased.
In publishing these reports it was recognized that there were still
many classes of union workers not represented. There were large
numbers of organized workers employed at piece rates, there were
localized industries in which employees were paid by either time or
piece rates, and there were minor trade groups in the regular cities
canvassed. These trades had not been canvassed mainly because of
the limitation of funds available for the union wage study.
Recognizing the need for additional information on the subject
the scope of the study was enlarged in 1928 to include a considerable
number of other trades and localities, data for which were collected
as of 1927 and 1928 and published in a separate volume as Bulletin
No. 476.
The scope of the study for 1929 and 1930 was still further enlarged,
the effort being made to include representative scales for all labor
organizations in the United States. The effort was not entirely suc
cessful, as a few organizations were either unable or unwilling to
furnish the necessary information, but data of a more or less satisfac
tory character were obtained from practically all organised trades.
These data are presented in the present volume, continuity with the
earlier reports being preserved by dividing the volume into two parts.
Part 1 covers the same trades and cities as the preceding reports of
the bureau on union wage scales and includes only the principal time
work trades found in most of the larger cities, the wage scales of
which are of a character which -permits of a uniform method of statis
tical presentation. The study in 1931 was conducted similarly with
the study in 1929 and 1930. Part 2 presents the union scales for all
other organized trades for which the bureau was able to obtain
information in 18 selected cities and some national organizations.
All the data given in Part 1 and practically all the data in Part
2 relate to May 15, 1931, but in some instances the scales in Part 2
are of a slightly later date.

PART 1
GENERAL TRADES PAID AT TIME RATES
SUMMARY
In the first part of this report are presented the union wage scales
as of Majr 15, 1931, for 705,332 members of organized general trades
as found in 67 important industrial cities geographically distributed
so that a fair representation may be obtained for the country as a
whole. Following is a list of the trade groups in this part of the report
and the total number of union members represented in each group.

Seventy-two trades and subdivisions of trades have been included.
The average hourly rates of wages for the several trades and groups
of trades in 1931 in comparison with the rates in 1930 appear in Table
2, page 6. The hourly rate of wages for all trades herein listed taken
collectively shows an increase of four-tenths of 1 cent per hour as
between 1930 and 1931.
The per cent of change in hourly rates of wages in 1931 as compared
with 1930 is shown by trade groups.

Full-time hours per week of all trades taken as a unit have continued
the steady downward trend, decreasing three-tenths of an hour from
1930 to 1931.
By trade groups, decreases of six-tenths of an hour occurred in the
building trades and the granite and stone trades and seven-tenths
of an hour for linemen. Bakers and longshoremen had an increase of
two-tenths of an hour, while no measureable change in hours occurred

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
for chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, for laundry workers, and in
printing and publishing (book and job and newspaper).
The average hours per full-time week for all trades and all cities
herein covered are 43.6 hours.
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 45.6 per cent, or nearly half, have a working week of 40 hours
or less, while only 8.7 per cent, or slightly more than one-twelfth,
have a week of more than 48 hours.
Table 3 (p. 10) shows similar information for individual trades or
occupations.

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 averages are
based on the data here compiled. In computing the averages for the
trades the rates in the several cities were weighted by the number of
members in those cities.
The averages are based on all data available each year. There
may be an effective scale in a city one year but 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 m 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.
Memberships in the various cities underwent greater changes than
usual in 1931, and therefore many of the grand average rates are
apparently at variance with the individual items composing it.
A few changes in the large widespread trades may cause but little
change in the average, whne a few changes in a trade limited as to
cities or as to membership may materially affect the average. For
example:

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 section of the report the many
piece rates that are found in some trades.
For convenience in comparisons, all rates are shown in Table A
(p. 24) per full-time week as well as per hour. The average full-time
weekly rate for 1931 for all trades combined decreased four-tenths of
1 per cent over the 1930 rate.
Weekly rates of wages for the building trades group did not change
from 1930 to 1931. There were increases in four groups, namely, 1.8
per cent for chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers, three-tenths of 1
per cent for granite and stone trades and laundry workers, and fourtenths of 1 per cent for newspaper printing. Decreases were shown
for four groups, namely, 2.4 per cent for bakers, three-tenths of 1 per
cent for linemen, four-tenths of 1 per cent for longshoremen, and sixtenths of 1 per cent for book and job printing.
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.
For a description of the scope of this report and the methods
followed, see pages 19 and 20.
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, 1931
and 1930, 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.
A slight rearrangement in the listing of some occupations was
made, for instance: Under the building laborers group there is now
shown building laborers, hod carriers, plasterers’ laborers, and
plumbers’ laborers, instead of having these occupations spread through
the building trades in alphabetical order.

Table 2 shows that the average rate per hour of all trades considered
increased from $1,250 in 1930 to $1,254 in 1931.
For 1931 there are tabulated 4,564 union-scale quotations, for 381 of
which there are no comparable data for 1930. Of the 4,183 union-scale
quotations for which there are comparable data for 1930, 3,155 had not
changed during the year and 1,028 had changed in rates or hours or
both of these items. There are 523 instances of an increase in hourly
wage rates in 1931 as compared with 1930; 437 instances of an in
crease in wage rates per week; and 43 instances of an increase in hours
of labor. There are 244 instances of a reduction in hourly wage rates
in 1931 as compared with 1930; 503 instances of a reduction m wage
rates per full-time week; and 395 instances of a reduction in hours of
labor.
Of the 503 decreases in wage rates per full-time week, 405 occurred
in the building trades; 26 in the bakery trades; 16 in chauffeurs and
teamsters and drivers; 15 in granite and stone trades; none in laundry
workers; 5 in linemen; 3 in longshoremen; 7 in book and job printing;
and 26 in newspaper printing.
Of the 395 decreases in full-time hours per week, none occurred in
laundry workers; 8 occurred in bakery trades; 333 occurred in the
building trades; 15 in chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers; 12 in the
granite and stone trades; 6 in linemen; 1 in longshoremen; 8 in book
and job printing; and 12 in newspaper printing.
Of the 244 decreases in wage rates per hour, bakers showed 25
decreases; the building trades, 142; chauffeurs and teamsters and
drivers, 25; granite and stone trades, 4; laundry workers, none;
linemen, 2; longshoremen, 3; book and job printing, 8; and newspaper
printing, 35.
Table 2 also shows, that of the 264 quotations for bakers, tabu
lated in 1931, 247 were comparable with 1930, and that of the 247,
comparable with 1930, 10 increased, 25 decreased, and 212 had no
change in wage rates per hour; 3 increased, 26 decreased, and 218
had no change in wage rates per full-time week; while 2 increased,
8 decreased, and 237 had no change in number of hours per full-time
week. The other items of the table may be read in Eke manner.
Expressed in percentages of the total number of union-scale
quotations in which there were scale changes, 50.9 per cent resulted
in increases and 23.7 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour;
42.5 per cent provided increases and 48.9 per cent decreases in wage
rates per full-time week; and 4.2 per cent provided increases and
38.4 per cent decreases in the hours per full-time week.
WEEKLY HOURS OF LABOR, BY TRADES
Table 3 shows the per cent of members in each trade or occupation
working certain classified hours per week on May 15, 1931. (See
Table 1 for trade group classifications.)
It will be observed from the table that the individual occupations
in the building trades largely fall under the 40 and the 44 hour week
classifications, with only a few working more than 44 hours a week,
and, further, that nearly all occupations show considerably more
than half working on the 40-hour week. Fifteen occupations
show an average of less than 41 hours per week.
Chauffeurs and teamsters and drivers have the longest working
week. Table 3 shows that most of the members of these occupations
10
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
work more than 44 hours per week, with an average of 53.0 for
chauffeurs and 56.8 hours for teamsters and drivers.
Average hours per week for granite cutters showed 41.3 hours
and for stone cutters 41.8 hours.
Hours for book and job printing ranged from 43.9 to 44.8 hours per
week, and hours for newspaper printing ranged from 41.5 to 46.8
hours per week.

The continuing decrease in hours per full-time week for the past
several years has been largely due to the adoption of a 5-day week by
many of the crafts. Table 4 shows the extent to which the 5-day week
was in effect on May 15, 1931, in the trades and cities included.
The general adoption of the 5-day week by trade-unionists is being
very rapidly accomplished by some trade groups, the most significant
advance in this movement being among the building trades, where
all crafts have the short week in some degree. Notable among them
are the lathers, painters, and plasterers, and some individual crafts
within the group, have gone far toward its general adoption. In some
cities all crafts of the building trades have adopted the short working
week. Considering the membership of the granite and stone trades in
the cities in which these trades were found nearly two-thirds of the
1 0 2 1 2 2 °— 32-------- 2
12
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
granite cutters and more than a half of the stone cutters had a 5-day
week. Among the balance of the groups, linemen show a trend toward
the adoption of the 5-day week, bakers, longshoremen, and laundry
workers show no members at all on such a basis while the chauffeurs
show only a superficial beginning. In the printing trades, both book
and job and newspaper, few members have a 5-day week. The few
that do have the short week are mainly employed on foreign text
composition, the exception being the photo-engravers, especially in
the book and job printing trades, who have a long-term agreement
providing a 5-day week for an additional month each year until the
whole year is worked on that basis.
The table does not reflect the entire adoption of the 5-day week
because some of the crafts, for instance the building laborers in the
building trades, although actually working only 5 days per week have
not officially adopted or incorporated this 5-day week in their agree
ments with employers. In such cases where no other definite infor
mation could be obtained as to a supplemental agreement or under
standing the bureau is bound by the text of agreements and shows a
5K-day week for them as the craft could work the longer time, union
wages being as defined in part, “ an agreement between the craft and
employers and for maximum hours.”

INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED
According to Table 5 the weekly rate for bakers increased 150.9
per cent between 1913 and 1931. This means that the bakers’ full
time weekly wage rate in 1931 was more than two and one-half
times the rate of 1913. Between 1907 and 1931 the bakers’ weekly
wage rate increased 194.9 per cent. In other words, bakers’ wages
in 1931 were almost three times those of 1907. It also shows that
the full-time rate per week decreased 2.4 per cent comparing 1930
with 1931 and 3.6 per cent comparing 1929 with 1931, etc.
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 1931
was in steam and sprinkler fitters’ helpers. Here the increase was
210.6 per cent, or more than three times as much in 1931 as in 1913.
The greatest increase between 1907 and 1931 is also for steam and
sprinkler fitters’ helpers, the weekly rate in 1931 being three and
two-thirds times the rate in 1907.
INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED, 1907 TO 1931
The index numbers in Table 6 are percentages in which the rates
for all of the years were compared with the rate in the selected base
year (1913), which is taken as 100. Table 6 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 1931; the data for pre
ceding years are drawn from earlier reports.

Table 6 shows that union wage rates per hour were higher in 1931
than in any preceding year, the index for 1931 being 273.0. This
means that union wage rates per hour as a whole were nearly two and
three-fourths times as much in 1931 as they were in 1913.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
Full-time hours per week were 10.8 per cent lower in 1931 than in
1913 and full-time w e e k l y earnings were more than 2.4 times as much
in 1931 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 7 shows an index for wage rates per hour of 304.2 in 1931 as
compared with 100 in 1907. This means that the rates per hour were
more than three times as much in 1931 as in 1907. The index for
full-time hours per week in 1931 is 87.0, meaning that since 1907 full
time hours per week have decreased 13.0 per cent. The index for
full-time rates of wages per week stands at 265.3 in 1931, meaning that
full-time weekly earnings were slightly less than two and two-thirds
times as much in 1931 as in 1907.
An inspection of these index numbers shows that the grand average
of union rates of wages per hour has increased each year save one for
the last 24 years, the average for 1922 being lower than the average
for 1921. The average rate per full-time week showed an increase
every year except three— 1922, 1928, and 1931.
While the rate of wages has been increasing the hours per full-time
week have 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 8 is presented. This table shows the per cent of
change in the rate of wages per hour and in hours per full-time week
in May of one year compared with the rate and hours in May of the
preceding year.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
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 No. 404, page 57.
The asterisks in the preceding list indicate cities added since the
first report. In Table A, page 24, data for each of the cities are given
for each trade in which a scale was in effect.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
A union scale, as the term is here used, is a statement, either writ
ten 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 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 the newspaper printing trades, compositor and machine operator
agreements are found in certain cities in which there are stated maxi
mum hours that may not be exceeded except by payment of an over
time 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 also be 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 estab
lished that at least 50 per cent of the members of the union were
receiving the scale or above it. Information obtained on this ques
tion 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 section of the 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 two quotations
for longshoremen. 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
in arbitrary tables as are shown in this section.
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.
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
21
General Table A (p. 24) shows the rates of wages per hour and the
rates per full-time week, the rates for overtime and Sunday 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. Corresponding figures for 1930 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 of 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.
Due to some peculiar local conditions the actual rates per hour and
per week and the hours per week are not exactly what the agreement
shows. The bureau has tabulated the rate and hours that the full
time employed man receives; for example, in Worcester, Mass., the
nominal rate for web pressmen, night, is $45 per week for 42 hours,
so the nominal rate per hour would be 107.1 cents. However, all
the men employed work an extra 1% hours every’Saturday for which
they get $1 additional, and time and a half, which makes an actual
wage of $48.73 for 43K hours, received regularly each week by them.
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, Pennsylvania, and Wis
consin, 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 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin 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. 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
22
UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
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, bench men, oven
men, etc. The difference in occupation names 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 has followed the terminology
used in each city.
There is 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 rate 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 which makes them
weighted averages. The same method was used in computing
average hours.
Index numbers are computed to make comparisons easier as be
tween 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 latio 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
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 indus
tries could be obtained from establishment pay rolls. These trades
were covered in 1924 and earlier years and entered into the general
EXPLANATION OF TERMS AND METHODS
23
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 com
puted 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 18, the index number of bakers’ rates of
wages per week in 1930 was 257.1 as compared with 250.9 in 1931,
making a decrease of 6.2 points in the index number. This 6.2 is
2.4 per cent of 257.1, thus making the decrease in 1931 2.4 per cent
below 1930, as shown in Table 5.

[In some instances the rate for overtime and for Sundays is indicated by figures closely followed by the
letter c, which means that the amount given is the rate in cents per hour. 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 prohibited it is indicated by “ Pro.” When no statement is given for 1930 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. Generally the rate for holidays is the same as the rate for Sundays.]

PART 2
OTHER TRADES
As explained in the introduction to this report, Part 2 presents the
union scales of wages and hours of labor for trades which have re
cently been added to the bureau’s survey of union wages. These
added trades are presented separately for the following reasons: (1)
The trades included in Part 1 are limited to those normally occurring
in the large cities and for which the wage scales are in a form permit
ting uniform tabulation. As a result it is possible to combine these
data so as to derive average wages and hours, and index numbers
thereof, for various groups of cities and trades, over a series of years.
(2) Part 2 includes trades added to the bureau’s survey which,
whether because of their more complicated wage scales or for other
reasons, do not permit of combination for the present at least, with
the data given in Part 1.
The data presented in this second part were derived from a com
plete survey of all organized trades in 18 cities and by correspondence
with, or personal visits to, those organizations which are of a noncity
character—such as those concerned with railroads and mining. The
cities covered by the survey referred to are:
Baltimore.
Birmingham.
Boston.
Butte.
Chicago.
Cleveland.
Dallas.
Denver.
Jacksonville.
Kansas City.
New Orleans.
New York.
Philadelphia.
Pittsburgh.
Providence.
San Francisco.
Seattle.
St. Louis.
For each of the organizations concerned, every effort was made to
secure the prevailing scales of wages and hours or representative
examples of such scales. In a few cases the organizations were unable
or unwilling to furnish this information, but these exceptions were
very few, and on the whole the information in Part 2 combined with
that in Part 1 gives a fairly complete picture of the prevailing union
scales in force in the organized trades of this country.
In the wage presentation of Part 2, time rates are shown wherever
such are available. Otherwise, sample piece rates are given and in a
few cases estimated earnings under these piece rates are quoted. In
general, however, it is to be noted that union rates are minimum
rates and in many cases are considerably below actual earnings.
The total membership of the organizations presented in Part 2 is
slightly less than 1,000,000.

Information regarding wage rates and hours of labor was secured
for the principal labor organizations of the steam railroads. These
data were furnished by officials of the national organizations except
in a few cases where it was found more practicable to obtain data
from officials of local unions in selected cities.

TRANSPORTATION
RAILWAY CARMEN
Union rates of wages of railroad carmen shown in Table 5 are
practically the same on all railroads with which the Brotherhood of
Railway Carmen has working agreements. For that reason it is
deemed unnecessary to specify rates for the various railroads. For
rates for the New York Central Railroad add 1 cent per hour to the
rates given in the table.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
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.
However, if the monthly earnings of regularly assigned passenger
trainmen from guaranties, mileage, overtime, and other rates do not
yield the average daily amounts given below, it is provided that for
each day that the trainmen are on duty they shall be paid such
daily rates.

In the freight service “ 100 miles or less, eight 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 turnaiound passenger runs, no single trip of which
exceeds 80 miles, including suburban and branch line service, shall be paid
overtime for all time actually on duty, or held for duty in excess of 8 hours
(computed 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 con
tinuous 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 at
a rate per hour of not less than one-eighth of the daily rate herein provided.
In the freight service it is provided that—
(6) On runs of 100 miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of eight
hours; on runs of over 100 miles overtime will begin when the time on duty
exceeds the miles run divided by 12J4 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
applicable to any class of service performed. The overtime basis for the rate
paid will apply for the entire trip.

MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY EMPLOYEES
Table 11 following 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 agreements generally provide for an 8-hour day and overtime is
paid at the regular rate for the ninth and tenth hours and at the rate
of time and a half thereafter.
On account of limited space, rates for only a few railroads in each
district are presented.
Pumper and crossing watchmen work every day in the year and their
hours vary from 8 to 12 per day. These employees are usually paid on
a monthly basis.

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
FISHING
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% cents; black cod
(sablefish), 2% cents; and other acceptable varieties, 1% cents.
When deckhands are not obtainable the fishermen agree to do the
necessary deckhands’ 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 for 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 cap
tain 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 fishermen. 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 purpose. When money from the stock is used for cash pay
ments, 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,” to head fish if required, to “ wash
out fish holds and decks,” and to keep living quarters sanitary.
It is estimated that the members earn an average of $1,000 for the
9-month season.
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.
FISHING
169
Earnings are computed on the basis of $85 per month plus fractional
cents per case.
Gill-net fishermen are paid as follows:
(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), 4% cents for each red or coho salmon, 1% cents for each
chum salmon, and % cent for each pink salmon caught and delivered to the
“ compan y.”
All salmon must be in perfect condition, not discolored or mutilated when
delivered, and must be discharged from boats at least once in 24 hours.
(b) The “ company” is not compelled to take any chum or pink salmon, but
if received they are to be paid for at above rates.
(c) The “ company” reserves the right to limit each boat to not less than
1,200 salmon per day, such limit to commence at midnight following notification.
Notification of limit to be given before 6 p. m. by hoisting a large red flag both
at the cannery and at receiving lighters.
(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 hours' 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.
(J) 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 the 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.
(h) Fishermen and trapmen hired in Alaska and not performing such work
before and after the fishing season shall not receive said sum of $75. Such
money not paid to be distributed to needy fishermen or their dependents, or as
a majority of the fishermen at the station may direct.
(t) Fishermen or trapmen detained in Bristol Bay after September 1 shall be
paid at the rate of $90 per month for the time of such detention.
(j) For salmon transferred from Nushagak, Kvichak, Naknek, Egegak, or
Ugashik, or received from other sources, all fishermen and trapmen employed at
receiving station shall share equally in extra compensation equal to one-third of
the price paid for such transferred salmon where caught. No such extra com
pensation shall be paid for salmon caught by boats transferred to another station.
(k) The basis of compensation of wages "if paid by the case shall be a case of
salmon containing forty-eight 1-pound tall cans or a case containing ninety-six
j4-pound cans. For wage purposes, if any salmon in half-pound cans are packed
48 to the case, 3 cases of forty-eight J4-pound cans each to be computed as 2
cases of forty-eight 1-pound tall cans. If salmon are salted, each barrel of salmon
is to be computed as 4 cases and each half-barrel as 2 cases of forty-eight 1-pound
tall cans. Regular red-salmon prices to be paid for all other kinds of fish that
may be put up by the company in cans or barrels, dried, smoked, or salted.
(I) Men with families dependent upon them shall be allowed $70 per month.
Payments to commence on the 1st of the month following departure from San
Francisco, and monthly thereafter.
(m) All moneys earned to be payable in San Francisco after the return of the
expedition, except the sum of $10, which is to be paid on the homeward voyage
to each man signing this agreement.

STRAW-HAT MAKERS
Several hundred workers in New York City are separately organized
as straw-hat makers (including Panama hats). They work 44 hours
per week when working full time. This industry is very seasonal in
character. As in the manufacture of felt hats, most of the workers
are paid on a piece-price basis.
The earnings of trimmers on piecework are reported as ranging from
$35 to $60 per week and earnings of operators from $50 to $65 per week.

SHOE WORKERS
Local unions of the boot and shoe workers, with a membership

the members work on a piecework basis. Price lists for all occupa

uminous as to render reprinting impracticable.
A tabulation has been made of average earnings per week and the
full-time hours per week in the principal operations as reported by

SUSPENDER MAKERS
A local union of suspender makers in New York City reported that
all work is done on a piece-price basis with the exception of making
samples. While making samples they are paid at the rate of $1.25
per hour.
The occupation is extremely seasonal in character, and although
the agreement provides for a 44-hour week the provision is not strictly
observed.

AMUSEMENTS
ACTORS AND ACTRESSES
Rates of wages and hours for actors and actresses are not such as
lend themselves to a statistical presentation. The trend is toward
the establishment of conditions of employment rather than a fixing
of compensation. However, an analysis of the standard contracts
under which actors and actresses work was made by Alfred L. Bernheim, of the Labor Bureau (Inc.), of New York, and printed in the
June, 1931, issue of Equity. It is here reproduced in part.
The various standard contracts regulate the conditions of employment of the
great proportion of actors in the legitimate theater.
The Actors’ Equity Association issues nine standard contracts:
Minimum contract, for independents; minimum contract, for members of the
Managers’ Protective Association; run-of-the-play contract, for independents;
run-of-the-play contract, for members of the Managers’ Protective Association;
minimum contract, for stock; minimum contract, for superstock; minimum con
tract, for “ rep” companies playing 75-cent top and in permanent buildings;
minimum contract, “ tent” companies; try-out contract.
In addition, the Chorus Equity Association issues three:
Minimum contract, for independents; minimum contract, for members of the
Managers’ Protective Association; minimum contract, for stock.
The first four equity contracts govern the employment of actions in 1-play
combination companies by independent New York managers and others playing
the same class of attractions, and by members of the Managers’ Protective Asso
ciation. They form the most important group in the list. They are of two
types— “ minimum” and “ run-of-the-play.” Minimum contracts permit the
termination of the engagement by either party at any time without cause (sub
ject, however, to specified procedure). Run-of-the-play contracts provide that
employment be coextensive with the run-of-the-play during any season from
September 1 to June 1, and that the engagement can not be terminated except
for cause. Let us first examine the minimum contracts, bearing in mind that
the Managers’ Protective Association and the independent form of minimum
contract are substantially identical.
The actor is engaged for a stipulated part in a stipulated play. The date of
the first public performance is fixed, but it may be postponed for any length of
time up to 14 days. The salary is stated and it is provided that it be paid weekly
on Saturdays. Employment commences with the beginning of rehearsals, but
salary does not accure until the date of the first public performance. There is a
provision for arbitration. All disputes under the contract must be arbitrated in
accordance with the procedure that is established.
There are more than 70 rules and regulations which are a part of the contract.
Only the more important will be discussed.

The actor must give four weeks’ rehearsal without pay (or five in case of musical
comedy, revue, or spectacular production), but the rehearsals must be continuous
from the first one to the opening of the play. All rehearsal time in excess of four
(or five) weeks must be paid for at full salary, unless rehearsals are interrupted by
certain causes beyond the control of the manager, in which event the manager is
entitled to two additional weeks at half salary.
Male actors must themselves furnish all conventional morning, afternoon, and
evening clothes customarily worn by civilians of the present day in this country,
together with necessary footwear and wigs. Any other kinds of clothes required
by the men, and all clothes, stockings, shoes, wigs, and so on, without exception,
required by the women, must be provided by the manager.
Eight performances constitute a week’s work and an additional one-eighth of
the weekly salary must be paid for each additional performance. Sunday
performances are permitted only in theaters where they were lawfully and
customarily given on May 1, 1924. No deduction from the salary may be made
if there are less than eight performances during a week, unless the shortage is
due to unavoidable delay in travel, to “ strikes, riot, act of God, the public enemy,
or for any other cause of the same general class which could not be reasonably
anticipated or prevented, or if the actor can not perform on account of illness
or for any other valid reason.” 1
Transportation costs (including 200 pounds of the actor’s personal baggage)
are paid by the manager, including travel from New York City to the point of
opening and from the point of closing back to New York City. If a manager
terminates a contract with an individual actor, he must pay the actor’ s traveling
expenses back to New York City. If the actor terminates the contract he must
not only pay his own return fare, but must reimburse the manager for his succes
sor^, up to the amount of the fare from New York City to the point where the
successor joins the company.
The contract may be terminated before rehearsals begin, during rehearsals,
or after the opening. Before rehearsals begin, the manager may terminate the
contract by giving the actor written notice and paying him two weeks’ salary if
the contract was signed more than two months prior to the date of the opening
fixed in the contract, and by paying him one week’s salary if the contract was
signed within two months of the date of opening.
During the first seven days of rehearsal (or 10 in the case of musical comedies,
revues, or spectacles) the contract may be terminated without penalty by either
actor or manager, unless the manager abandons the production, in which event
he must pay one or two weeks’ compensation, depending upon the period between
the signing of the contract and the scheduled opening. After the first seven (or
10) days, either party may terminate the engagement upon payment to the other
of a sum equal to two weeks’ compensation.
After the opening a manager may discharge any actor, or any actor may quit
the company, upon two weeks’ written notice, without penalty. During the
first four weeks of the run the manager may close the play without notice, pro
vided he has paid all actors to date, and in no event less than two weeks’ salary.
If the play runs more than four weeks, the manager may close it by giving one
week’s notice or paying one week’s salary in lieu thereof. Once closed, a play
must not be reopened during the same season within eight weeks of the closing,
except with the consent of Equity. The manager may, however, lay off his
company without salary during all or any part of the week before Christmas and
during holy week. If he avails himself of this privilege, he must play at least
two weeks following the week in which the lay-off occurred. If the producer
elects to play during holy week and the week before Christmas, he must pay full
salaries.
These are the principal circumstances in which, and methods by which, the
minimum contract may be terminated, either in respect to the individual actor
or in respect to the entire company. There are, besides, many modifications,
exceptions, and special considerations regulating the termination of the contract.
The run-of-the-play contract differs from the minimum contract only in one
essential feature. It can not be terminated at will by either party, but provides
for the continuous employment of the actor throughout the run of the play
during any season from September 1 to June 1. Except for cause, the manager
can not dismiss the actor and the actor can not leave the manager as long as the
play is running during the season. The manager can close the play at any time
upon a week’s notice, but the actor is guaranteed at least two full-weeks’ salary,
1 From par. J of regulations under standard minimum contract (independent and Managers’ Protective
Association forms).

even if the play has only one performance. If the actor has sufficient bargaining
power, he may succeed, when negotiating with the manager over terms, in extend
ing this guaranteed period of employment beyond two weeks. If he does, the
period is inserted in the appropriate paragraph of the contract.
The independent and the Managers' Protective Association form of the runof-the-play contract are virtually identical.
The contracf for stock is a much shorter instrument than those just discussed.
The manager engages the actor to appear in his company in a certain town, in a
stipulated line of parts at a fixed weekly salary for 10 performances a week, each
performance over 10 being paid for on a pro rata basis. The date of the com
mencement of the engagement is stated in the contract and salary starts with
that date, there being one week free rehearsal period. All actors— both men and
women— must furnish all modern, civilian clothes; the manager furnishes all
others.
The manager may close his company at any time during the first eight weeks of
his season upon two weeks' written notice. After the eighth week, he may
close down upon one week's notice. In either case, however, an individual actor
is entitled to a season of at least two weeks. The manager may dismiss any
individual actor at any time upon two weeks' written notice, and any actor, on
his part, may leave the company upon the same notice.
There is a provision for arbitration of any disputes between actor and manager.
A stock company manager may engage an actor not as a permanent member of
his troupe but for a special engagement limited to one play. If the company is
located in, or “ within commuting distance" of New York, Chicago, Kansas
City, San Francisco, or Los Angeles, the manager and actor are required to sign
the Actors' Equity Association limited stock jobbing engagement memorandum.
This is a short form giving only the names of the parties to the agreement, the
name of the play, the name and location of the theater and the weekly salary of
the actor. The agreement automatically expires with the close of the play named,
but the actor is guaranteed a minimum of one week's salary. The agreement is
subject to all the nonconflicting provisions of the minimum contract for stock.
If the company is not located within commuting distance of any of the five
specified cities, then the manager need not sign the memorandum but may engage
any actor— whether or not an equity member— for a term not to exceed two
weeks in succession or a total of three weeks during a season. The term “ within
commuting distance" is very loosely interpreted.
The contract for superstock— that is to say for stock organizations that do not
change their bills weekly but present a play for a run of several weeks— is in general
similar to the regular stock contract with the following exceptions:
The superstock actor must give two consecutive weeks of rehearsal time without
salary and two immediately following consecutive weeks at half salary.
Actresses are supplied with modern civilian clothes and appurtenances “ when
ever the manager produces any play that has not regularly been rehearsed or
licensed for stock production. " 2
If the company travels, a new contract must be issued to each member of the
company upon not less than two weeks' notice to that effect. Such contract
must be satisfactory to the actor and to the Actors' Equity Association, and
must be no less favorable to the actor than the standard minimum contract for
independents. In all other respects, stock and superstock contracts are virtually
identical.
The next contract to consider is the minimum contract for “ rep" companies
playing 75 cent top in permanent buildings.3
'this contract calls for a stipulation of the actor's line of business and line of
parts. It provides for a statement of the beginning and the termination of the
engagement, but the dates need not be specified. If they are, the contract can
not be terminated prior to its expiration unless the entire company is disbanded;
if they are not, then either party may cancel upon two weeks' written notice.
The manager may close the company upon one week's written notice, or one
week’s salary in lieu thereof, but the actor must have a season of at least two
weeks under any circumstances. Ten performances constitute a week’s work,
and one-tenth extra compensation must be paid for additional performances.
If the company, however, plays more than two towns in any week, or if it plays
any performance during the week at more than 75 cents top, then only eight
performances are permitted during the week at regular rates, and one-eighth
* From par. F of regulations attached to minimum contract for superstock.
* This, in lay English, means repertoire companies charging not over 75 cents for the best seats and
playing in regular theaters, in contradistinction to tents.
200
XJNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
extra compensation must be paid for all performances over eight. All actors,
men and women, must furnish their own modern, civilian clothes. The actor
is required to give two weeks’ continuous rehearsal without pay. Additional
rehearsal periods are paid for at full rates. The remaining provisions of the
contract are all in accord with the fundamental practices set up in the equity
contracts.
The tent contract is virtually identical with the repertoire contract, with
these exceptions:
Prior to the opening date, the actor must, if called upon, give two weeks’
continuous rehearsal without pay, and he must give additional rehearsals after
the two weeks, but before any public performance, at the rate of one-sixteenth
of his salary for each rehearsal. If the opening date is not specified, the manager
must pay the actor one-half salary for time elapsing between the conclusion of
the two weeks’ rehearsal period and the actual opening of the actor with the
•ompany, whether or not the actor is rehearsing. If the elapsed time extends
beyond four weeks, then the actor gets full pay.
The manager is permitted to lay off the company the week before Christmas
and holy week.
An interesting feature of the contract is that “ Storms that are not of suffi
cient violence to destroy some part of the tent, are not to be considered as reason
to deduct from the actor’s salary for any performance not given on that account.” 4
Another is that “ the manager agrees to furnish the actor with sanitary dressing
quarters.” 5
The try-out contract provides that the actor shall report for rehearsal on the
date specified in the contract, and shall be required to rehearse without pay for
any continuous period that the manager may designate. The actor must, how
ever, be given employment at a specified weekly salary for a period at least
one-half the length of the rehearsal period. The minimum employment is one
week, with eight performances constituting a week’s work. Performances above
that number must be paid for on a prorata basis. There is no provision for an
equity shop or for arbitration.6 The try-out contract is valid only during the
months of May, June, and July.
The chorus equity minimum contract for independents is substantially the
same as the corresponding one issued by the Actors’ Equity Association. The
more significant differences are noted below:
There is a provision for a minimum weekly salary of $30 a week in New York
City and $35 elsewhere.
There is a 2-day period during which the manager tries out the applicants for
chorus positions and selects those he wants from the many who apply. These
two days do not count as rehearsal time and during them no numbers from the
show may be used. This try-out privilege is not granted the manager in the
case of actors other than chorus members.
The first seven days of rehearsals are considered'a probationary period during
which either party may terminate the engagement upon notice in writing.
While actors in musical comedies, revues, and spectacles may be required to
rehearse five weeks without pay, the chorus is required to rehearse only four.
There is a provision for payment of expenses while rehearsing on the road.
The manager must furnish each chorus member with all hats, costumes, wigs,
shoes, tights, and stockings.
The manager must supply sleeping car accommodations for the chorus for all
travel begun before five o ’clock in the morning. The manager has the right
to put two chorus members in each lower berth, but only one in each upper.
Actors, on tne otfter hand, must pay for their sleeping-car accommodations
themselves.
The chorus minimum contract for members of the Managers’ Protective
Association is substantially the same as the corresponding actor’s contract,
modified in respect to the chorus in approximately like manner as above. The
chorus minimum contract for both independents and Managers’ Protective
Association members contains a provision for a summer try-out run which is
similar to the special try-out contract issued by the Actors’ Equity Association.
The Chorus Equity Association does not issue a run-of-the-play contract.
The director has full scope to direct a production as he sees fit. Equity does
not legislate upon the salaries of its members, except in respect to the minimum
* Minimum contract for “ tent” companies, par. 11.
8 Minimum contract for “ tent” companies, par. 14.
6 The try-out contract is really only an employment memorandum. The equity shop is taken for granted,
though not specifically stipulated. There is no occasion for arbitration.

pay of chorus members. It recognizes that acting is a highly individualistic
profession and that an actor's worth depends largely upon his particular talents
and his drawing power.
Equity protects its members in respect to what may be broadly classified as
working conditions. It is evident that they are of the greatest import to the
welfare of the actors. Most of them have a direct or indirect money value.
A good example is the limitation of the free rehearsal period.
Besides the Actors’ Equity Association and the Chorus Equity Association
there are a few small unions of actors.
The most important is the Hebrew Actors' Union (Inc.), located in New
York City, without branches elsewhere. It is affiliated with the Associated
Actors and Artists of America and through it with the American Federation of
Labor.
The chief reason for organization was to establish a minimum wage. Actors
were to be divided into three general classifications— bits, parts, and leads— and
the minimum scale was to be $18, $24, and $36, respectively. To-day the mini
mum scale for the 350 union members is $65 a week.
The present uniform contract which governs the employment of the Hebrew
actors provides that the manager must guarantee a season of 36 weeks. On the
road the actor is allowed $7 a day for expenses, plus all transportation costs.
The manager, furthermore, must agree to give the actor parts suitable to his
ability. He may not, for instance, put into a minor part some one who is able
to play leads.
The clause governing the number of weekly performances is interesting.
The season is divided into two parts— until the “ Succoth holidays” (in the early
fall), and after these holidays. During the first part nine performances con
stitute a week's work, but the manager may give less than nine performances,
and the actor receives only one-ninth of his salary for each performance announced,
but no less than a total of five-ninths under any circumstances. During the
second part no salary cuts are allowed, but the manager may extend the number
of performances beyond nine, provided he pays prorata for each additional
performance. It is, however, optional with the manager to pay an actor his
full salary throughout both parts of the season without any cut, in which event
he need not pay additional compensation for performances in excess of nine.
Besides his salary the actor is entitled to a benefit on a midweek, nonholiday
evening during the season— probably the last vestige of the benefit system of the
early days of our theater.
Actors, whether men or women, must furnish all modern civilian clothes.
The manager furnishes all others.
Free rehearsals are limited to two weeks before the commencement of the season
and are further limited to four hours each day, except for two days of “ full-dress ”
rehearsal when the hours are unlimited.
When a manager requires an actor to play in any theater other than the one
whose name is set forth in the contract, he must pay an additional compensation
of one-ninth of the stipulated salary for each performance rendered outside of
said theater. This applies also to theaters outside of Greater New York, and is in
addition to the expense allowance for road work.
If an actor under contract becomes sick or disabled, he is entitled to full pay
for four consecutive weeks, after which his salary ceases until he has recovered
and rejoined his company.
There is an arbitration provision in the contract, but all disputes and disagree
ments are first taken up by the business agent of the Hebrew Actors' Union (Inc.),
then by the executive board of the union, and then by the union as a whole,
before they can come before an arbitration board.
The contract provides for a closed shop. The manager agrees “ that upon
demand of the Hebrew Actors' Union (Inc.) he will deduct from the salary of the
actor as and when demanded to do so, all dues, fines, or any other taxes or assess
ments that the Hebrew Actors' Union (Inc.) shall from time to time impose upon
the actor * * *. " 7 The actor, on his part, authorizes the manager to make
such deductions.
The Hebrew Chorus Union, also affiliated with the Associated Actors and Artists
of America, is a sister union of the Hebrew Actors' Union.
There are two other small unions in the legitimate field, both affiliated with the
“ Four A 's," and consequently members of the American Federation of Labor.
One is the Hungarian Actors' Union and the other the German White Rats
Actors' Union.
7Par. 16 of uniform contract.
202
UNION SCALES OP WAGES AND HOURS OP LABOR
Members of the former, appear entirely in repertoire companies which are not
attached to any theater, but travel from city to city wherever there is a large
enough Hungarian population to justify an engagement. These Hungarian
companies almost always each import a star from Hungary who acts with them
for a season and then returns to his own country. The organization has not
established a standard contract. There are so few actors and so few managers
that satisfactory terms of an engagement are easily arranged when the occasion
arises.
The German White Rats are almost entirely vaudeville performers, yodelers,
singers, dancers, and so on.
STAGE EMPLOYEES AND MOTION-PICTURE OPERATORS
Data for stage employees and motion-picture machine operators
were obtained m the 67 selected cities in which union wage data
were obtained for occupations covered in Part 1 of this bulletin. In
a few cities locals in these trades were not effectively organized or
information was refused and are omitted from the tabulation for these
reasons. These data cover 4,879 stage employees (Table 42) and

MUSICIANS
Data for musicians were obtained and are here presented for
members of the American Federation of Musicians in those cities
wherein the bureau made a census of trade-unions. The agreements
show a great variety of special rates and terms for holidays or special
engagements of infrequent occurrence. The great detail and length
of these agreements preclude their publication in full in this bulletin.
However, the data are presented in Table 44 in four groups which are
believed to cover the bulk of the work performed by the members:
For ordinary single engagements; for hotel season engagements; for
theater season engagements; and for radio broadcasting engagements.
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 that are regularly employed for a specified consecutive

period of time, a contract usually being required. Rates for single
engagements or engagements for less than a season are at higher
rates than season engagements for like services. The locals reported
49,465 members.

BARBERS
The scales of wages for members of the barbers’ union in a number of
cities are presented in Table 47. The union membership represented
in these cities is reported as being 20,297. The guaranteed rate per
week and the percentage rate of participation in the total receipts
per week are shown for 1931 in comparison with the same data for
1930. This occupation has been reported for the past several years
in the regular union wage bulletins. It will be noted that the char
acteristic feature of the collective agreements in this trade is the pro
vision for the guaranteed pay rate plus a percentage earned on any
sum over a fixed amount. The hours are quite irregular.
