Slightly more than half of the workers covered by collective agreements had rates from 90 cents to $1.10 per hour; 6.5 percent earned $1.10 or more per hour; and 41.5 percent earned less than 90 cents. During the period from June 1, 1942, to July 1, 1943, average hourly wage rates advanced 5.5 percent to a new index of 129.6, indicating that since 1929 average hourly rates have increased almost 30 percent, and since 1934 (the low point on the index) have increased almost 35 percent.

Scope and Method of Study This study is one of a series of annual surveys started by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 1921. Agents of the Bureau visited 75 cities in 1943 and obtained reports on effective union scales as of July 1, 1943, in 65 of these cities. Scales in negotiation or before the National War Labor Board at the time our representatives called were further checked before the data were tabulated so that increases retroactive to July 1, 1943, would be reflected in this report. The rates obtained were for union members employed on local streetcar, subway, elevated, and bus lines and also those employed on city-suburban lines which furnish city service. Employees of strictly intercity or interstate car and bus lines were not included. The 1943 survey included 440 quotations of rates, 422 of which included comparable data for 1943 and 1942. The total quotations included 80,217 union members, of whom 77,320 were included in the reports which gave comparable rates for both years. 576386°—44 1 2 U n ion W age Rates The averages presented in this report are weighted according to the number of union members receiving each rate and thus reflect not only the actual rates provided in union agreements but also the num ber of members benefiting from those scales. The index numbers are based on aggregates computed from the rates quoted for identical unions and service classifications in two successive years. The weights in each year-to-year comparison were the membership figures reported in the second year. The index numbers are so constructed as to eliminate the influence of changes in union membership. Because of changes in coverage, the averages presented in successive annual surveys should not be compared from year to year to deter mine trend. For trend purposes the index numbers (table 1) should be used, since these were computed from comparable quotations only, and the influence of changes in coverage has been eliminated. For com parison of the general wage level of streetcar and bus operators with those of other occupations at the time the survey was made, the average (table 2) should be used. Hourly Wage Rates Hourly wage rates in streetcar and bus operations are generally graduated on the basis of an employee’s length of service with the company. Most frequently the agreements provide for an entrance rate, an intermediate rate, and a maximum rate. A considerable number, however, specify several intermediate periods, each with successively higher rates. The specified time between rate steps varies widely from city to city. The entrance-rate period is usually 3, 6, or 12 months. The maximum rate most frequently applies after 1 or 2 years of service, but many agreements provide for longer periods, ranging up to 6 years and including as many as 12 progressive rate steps. In 1943 the differences between the entrance rates and the maximum rates ranged from 1.9 cents for guards on the Chicago Elevated Railway to 30 cents per hour for bus operators employed by the Steinway Omnibus Co. and the Third Avenue Railway System, both in New York. The differences most frequently reported were either 5 or 4 cents. Rates for operators of 2-man cars were reported in 21 of the 65 cities included in the survey, although there has been a definite tend ency, during the past few years, to eliminate such cars. In each of these cities the agreements provided higher rates for 1-man-car oper ators than for either motormen or conductors on 2-man cars; the dif ferences ranging from 3 to 10 cents, the most common being 10 cents. Generally, the rates for bus drivers were the same as for 1-man-car operators. The entrance rates for operators of 2-man cars ranged from 64.1 cents per hour in Omaha to 95 cents in Detroit. The majority of thj entrance rates were between 70 and 85 cents. The highest entrance rate for the industry in the cities covered ($1.00 per hour) was received by subway motormen in N ew York. The 1-man-car and bus operators had entrance rates ranging from 46 cents in Tampa to $1.05 in D e troit; about two-thirds of the entrance rates were between 70 and 90 cents. An analysis of maximum rates for 2-man-car operators shows that over two-thirds of the rates ranged between 75 and 90 cents per hour, 3 C ity Streetcar and B u s O perators DISTRIBUTION OF UNION WAGE RATES OF CITY STREETCAR AND BUS OPERATORS PERCENT OF JU L Y t, 1943 PERCENT OF HOURLY WAGE RATE with the lowest rate (68.4 cents) in Omaha and the highest ($1.05) in Detroit. The maximum rate in the subways ($1.10) was received by the motormen in New York. Approximately three-fourths of the 1-man-car and bus operators had maximum rates ranging from 80 cents to $1.00. The lovrest rate (54 cents) was in Tampa, the highest ($1.15) was for bus operators in Detroit. In addition, operators of both 1- and 2-man cars in Detroit receive a premium of 10 cents per hour when they work “owl runs” (those in the late evening and early morning hours). Some other cities reported slightly higher rates for union members operating cars or busses on “owl runs.” 4 U n ion W a ge R ates As streetcar and bus operators generally remain for long periods in the employ of one company, a majority of the union members reported had reached the maximum rates provided in their agree ments. Almost 69 percent of the union members were receiving rates ranging from 80 cents to $1.00, while over 90 percent were covered by rates in the wider range (70 cents up to $1.10). Rates of $1.10 or more were received by 6.5 percent of the members (see table 2).

Over 30 percent of those who received increases had their rates advanced between* 4 and 6 percent. The next largest group fell between 10 and 12 percent (18.4 percent of those receiving raises). More than 45 percent of the total member ship reported increases between 4 and 12 percent. Only 7.1 percent of the members benefited by raises of as much as 16 percent. There were no decreases reported in the 13-month period.
