Practically all o f the organized tradesmen had received substantial wage increases since V J-day, averaging 17 percent. The average for day shift newspaper workers on July 1, 1946 ($ 1.69 ) was 13 percent higher than that fo r day shift book and job workers ($ 1 .4 9 ). Photoengravers recorded the high est averages for both branches o f the industry ($ 1.97 in book and job shops and $2.06 an hour on new spapers). Bindery women had the lowest average in the commercial branch (81 cents) and m ail ers had the lowest newspaper average ($ 1 .4 7 ). The straight-tim e workweek averaged 38.3 hours fo r book and job workers and 37.5 hours fo r newspaper workers. There was a substantial reduction in straight-tim e weekly hours during the year for the job workers, and a slight reduction fo r newspaper workers. A lm ost all printing trades workers received tim e and a half as the initial overtime rate. Double tim e rates were provided for 93 percent o f the members in the book and job branch fo r work per form ed on Sunday or the seventh consecutive day, and fo r 51 per cent o f the newspaper workers for nonscheduled work on those days. Over half o f all the printing trades workers studied were cov ered by union agreements that called for 2 weeks o f paid vacation after 1 year of service. Introduction This study was based on union wage scales effective July 1, 1946, in 75 cities (ranging in size from 40,000 to over 1,000,000) and covered 11 book and job and 8 newspaper occupations.1 The 1 A lm ost 2,700 rate quotations coverin g 71,533 union members in the book and jo b branch o f the industry and 34,298 m embers in the new spaper branch were collected by field representatives w o rk in g out o f the Bureau’s regional offices. Bureau estimates o f em ploym ent in the p rin tin g industry on the survey date indicate 130,100 w orkers in the new spaper branch and 190,700 w orkers in the com m ercial branch. (1 ) 2 union scales studied were the minimum wage rates and maximum number o f hours agreed upon through collective bargaining be tween employers or their associations and trade-unions. Rates in excess o f the agreed minima are paid to some workers by reason o f seniority, special skills, or fo r personal or other reasons. Such rates were not used in the preparation o f this report. The various averages presented are based on effective union scales weighted by the number o f members working at each specific wage rate. Collective bargaining contracts are on file covering over 88 per cent o f the workers included in this study. U nion H ou rly Wage Rates TR END O F U N IO N W A G E R ATES Indicative o f the upward wage trend since V J-day was the 17 percent increase (about 23 cents an hour) in the average rates o f union printing trades workers in 75 cities between July 1 ,1 9 4 5 , and July 1, 1946. The percentage increase fo r newspaper workers was ju st slightly less than that fo r book and job (16 compared to 18 percen t). However, in money term s, average rates o f union newspaper workers improved by approxim ately 25 cents an hour and commercial workers 22 cents. The wage rate index fo r all printing trades workers rose m ore during the 1 9 4 5 -4 6 period than in any other single year since 1 9 1 9 -2 0 , when it showed an increase o f over 28 percent or about 18 cents an hour. Between 1918 and 1919, a period after W orld W a r I that m ay be compared with the current period, rates fo r printing trades workers increased about 22 percent or 11 cents an hour. T R E N D I N IN D IV ID U A L T R A D E S D uring the period between July 1, 1945, and July 1, 1946, the wage rate index o f every trade included in the survey rose con siderably. The greatest increases registered (22 percent) were reported fo r the bindery women in the book and job branch and fo r m ailers in the newspaper branch (14 cents and 27 cents re spectively). The sm allest percentage increase reported (14 per cent, 23 cen ts), covered the electrotypers in the book and job branch. Union wage scales fo r individual trades in both branches of the industry have shown a consistent upward trend since the establishm ent o f the index series, with the exception o f a slight drop in the early 1920’s and a serious dip between 1932 and 1936. Bindery women and m ailers, who had the lowest base rates, showed 3 T able 1.— Indexes o f union hourly wage rates in all printing trades , 1907-46 Indexes (1939=100) of hourly wage rates Indexes (1939=100) of hourly wage rates Year Year A ll printing (i) /n M 36.0 36.6 37.3 38.0 38.2 38.6 39.9 43.4 53.1 68.1 74.6 75.4 77.7 81.5 82.7 84.5 27.0 29.9 32.1 33.8 34.7 35.3 36.0 36.8 36.9 37.5 38.8 43.0 53.0 69.1 76.1 76.4 79.4 82.7 83.5 85.4 1907............................. 1908............................. 1909.............. 1910.............. 1911............................. 1912.............. .............. 1913............................. 1914....................... . 1915............................. 1916............................. 1917............................. 1918....... .................... 1919............................. 1920............................. 1921............................. 1922_______________ 1923............................ 1924................ ........... 1925............................ 1926________________ A ll printing News paper Book and job 35.3 37.2 38.8 40.1 40.7 41.4 42.3 42.7 43.0 43.2 44.3 46.4 56.0 68.5 74.5 75.2 76.0 80.6 82.0 83.8 1927.......................... 1928........................... 1929............ .............. 1930........................... 1931........................... 1932........................... 1933........................... 1934........................... 1935........................... 1936........................... 1937........................... 1938........................... 1939........................... 1940........................... 1941.............. ............ 1942........................... 1943______________ 1944........................... 1945........................... 1946......................- Book and job 87.0 88.6 89.9 91.3 91.8 91.1 85.7 87.5 90.8 92.9 96.0 99.1 100.0 101.4 102.6 107.0 110.4 113.1 114.6 134.2 87.5 88.7 89.9 91.5 92.1 91.2 86.1 88.5 90.4 93.0 96.0 99.2 100.0 100.9 102.0 106.4 109.3 112.2 113.7 133.7 News paper 86.3 88.5 90.0 90.9 91.2 91.0 85.1 86.2 91.5 92.8 96.3 98.8 100.0 102.2 103.6 108.1 112.6 115.1 116.7 135.5 lCombined data for years 1907-10 not available.

C H A N G E S I N U N I O N W A G E R A T E S B E T W E E N 1945 A N D 1946 Practically all o f the organized printing trades workers— book and job 99 percent, newspapers 96 percent— received wage in creases during the year. The largest single bloc o f members (over a third) registered gains o f from 15 to 20 percent. About one-fifth of the workers received wage increases o f 10 to 15 percent and another fifth 20 to 25 percent. In sharp contrast, the preceding study o f the printing trades (July 1, 1945) revealed that only 33 percent o f the book and job workers and 39 percent o f the news paper workers received increases during the 1 9 4 4 -4 5 period, with but few recording basic rate improvement o f as much as 10 percent. In the book and job branch, the trades reporting the largest membership proportions benefiting by increases o f 25 percent and over were those with the lower general wage averages: bind ery women (4 9.4 percent o f the m em bers), m ailers (30.7 percent), press assistants and feeders (28.3 percent). A t least three out o f every four bindery women, bookbinders, hand compositors, ma chine operators, m ailers, press assistants and feeders, and platen pressmen registered rate advances o f 15 percent or better. Con versely, trades with averages consistently in the higher levels, such as photoengravers, electrotypers, machine tenders, and cylin der pressmen revealed sizable concentrations o f membership bene fiting by gains o f less than 15 percent. About three-fourths o f the newspaper tradesm en reporting gains obtained raises o f 10 to 25 percent, w ith alm ost equal por tions falling into each 5 percent interval o f the range.

The m ost substantial mem bership group recording increases of 20 to 25 percent were m ail ers, pressm en, and day sh ift photoengravers. Newspaper photo engravers reported the highest proportion o f members w ith no change in wage rates from that o f last July 1 (day sh ift 11.1 percent, night 1 0 .3 ). PO ST SU R V E Y RATE C H A N C E S Lim ited data available indicate that many rate increases have become effective in the printing industry since July 1, 1946. O f particular significance in the book and job branch were gains of 7 about 40 cents an hour for typographical workers in N ew Y ork and Chicago, both im portant centers o f the industry. Other in creases ranging from 10 to 67 cents an hour were reported for typographical workers in 29 cities. Reports o f increases up to 26 cents an hour fo r photoengravers were received in 4 cities. Elec trotypers in Springfield were reported to have advanced by about 33 cents and from 5 to 18 cents in three other cities. In Chicago, pressmen and press assistants were reported to have received a 26-cent raise. Increases up to 39 cents an hour were indicated in several cities fo r bookbinders and m ailers. In the newspaper branch typographers were reported to have advanced by over 40 cents an hour in Rochester, and by at least 30 cents in Baltim ore, Boston, Buffalo, Columbus, D allas, M inne apolis, South Bend, W ashington, and W ichita. Rates fo r pressmen in Toledo and Indianapolis went up 44 and 32 cents an hour, respectively. Dallas stereotypers were recipients o f a 31 cent in crease, and higher scales w ere also reported fo r this trade in 4 other cities. Increases o f varying amounts were also indicated in several cities fo r photoengravers and m ailers. AVERAGE H O U R L Y W AG E R A T E S, J U L Y 1 , 1946 Union printing trades workers averaged $1.58 an hour in the 75 cities surveyed on July 1, 1946. The average fo r day sh ift newspaper workers ($ 1.69 ) was about 13 percent higher than the average fo r book and job workers ($ 1 .4 9 ). Average rates fo r night sh ift newspaper workers ($ 1.87 ) were about 10 percent higher than fo r the day shift ($ 1 .6 9 ). Rates fo r night sh ift book and job workers were not tabulated, but workers on regular night shift generally received about $5 more per 40- or 37}4-h ou r week than day sh ift workers. Over half o f all printing trades workers had rates ranging from $1.50 to $2. In the book and job branch, more than a third o f all members received from $1.40 to $1.70 and a fifth had rates be tween $1.80 and $2. In the newspaper branch, a fourth received between $1.50 and $1.70 and at least another fourth earned be tween $1.70 and $1.90. Only 7 percent o f the book and job work ers had rates o f $2 or more, as compared with 26 percent in the newspaper branch. Averages for individual trades in the commercial branch varied from $0.81 fo r bindery women to $1.97 for photoengravers. About half o f all bindery women received less than 80 cents and only a negligible proportion received over $1.10. On the other hand, none o f the photoengravers received less than $1.30 and a substantial T able 4.— Percentage distribution o f union members in the printing trades, b y hourly rates, July 1 ,1946 Percent of union members whose rates (in cents) per hour were— Trade rate per hour 100 110 180 190 220 80 120 130 140 170 200 210 70 90 150 160 230 and and and and and and and and and and and and Under and and and and 70 under under under under under under under under under under under under under under under under and 230 over1 150 160 170 180 210 220 130 140 cents 80 90 100 110 190 200 120 A ll printing trades...................................................... $1.584 0.9 4.7 3.7 2.1 1.0 2.9 2.9 7.0 9.1 11.4 12.6 7.5 16.5 4.4 4.6 5.1 2.5 1.1 B ook and jo b .................................- .........................

The lowest individual rate reported (40 cents an hour) was fo r platen press assistants in San Antonio and the highest ($ 2.37 ) was fo r the first position on a 10-color perfecting process press in Chicago. In the newspaper branch, photoengravers also had the highest average ($ 2 .0 6 ) while m ailers had the lowest ($ 1 .4 7 ). One-quarter o f the machine tenders (m achinists) in the day group had rates in excess o f $2 and in the night group more than tw o-fifths had rates o f $2.10 and over. Other trades w ith substantial proportions o f their night sh ift membership receiving rates o f $2.00 or m ore were hand compositors (45.8 percent), machine operators (4 6 .3 ), photoengravers (7 6 .2 ), pressmen (3 4 .8 ), pressm en-in-charge (6 0 .3 ), and stereotypers (3 2 .6 ). The lowest individual rate found in the newspaper branch (70 cents) was for group A bench m ail ers in Portland, M aine. The highest ($ 3 .1 1 ) was received by hand compositors and machine operators on the night sh ift o f Hebrew text newspapers in New York City. N I G H T R A T E D IF F E R E N T IA L S IN N E W S P A P E R T RAD ES Union agreem ents fo r the newspaper printing trades in the 75 cities surveyed provided an average differential o f 14 cents an hour in favor o f night workers.2 Pressm en-in-charge indicated the highest average differential (20.6 cents an hour) while the lowest (about 11 cents) was reported fo r members of the typo graphical union. Am ong the individual trades, all except typographical machine tenders (m ach inists), m ailers, and photoengravers had some pro portion o f their members with differentials o f 30 cents or more an hour. Journeymen pressmen had 23 percent and pressm en-incharge 17.3 percent in this category. The greatest difference be tween day and night scales (77.8 cents) was found in the Hebrew publishing field in N ew Y ork City where hand compositors and machine operators had the sam e daily rate fo r a night sh ift o f 41/2 hours and a day sh ift o f 6 hours. N ight rates fo r stereotypers in N ew ark were 52 cents an hour above day rates and in N ew Y ork C ity 46 cents, resulting from shorter hours worked fo r the same daily scale. In Chicago, stereotypers on foreign language dailies had a night differential o f 42.6 cents due to a shorter work week plus higher night scales. The lowest differential between day and night work (2 cents) was reported fo r stereotypers in M obile. 2 These higher rates, how ever, do not necessarily mean that average earnings o f the night sh ift workers w ere greater since this differential is often the result o f night w orkers receiving the same daily or weekly scale as day workers, but fo r few er hours o f w ork. 11 D IF F E R E N C E S I N W A G E R A T E S B Y C IT Y A N D R E G IO N Average wage rates o f union printing-trades workers were pro gressively higher according to size o f city ; in almost all cases highest averages being recorded fo r the largest city size groups.

I f there are large numbers of the semiskilled workers organized in one city as compared to another, the average rate for the city with the high degree of organization among semiskilled workers will tend to be lower in this table than the average for a city where only the skilled workers are organized. 2 Includes R ock Island and Moline, 111. and Davenport, Iowa. E l Paso ($ 1 .4 8 ) had the highest averages. In the newspaper branch, Cleveland with an average o f $1.90 reported the highest wage rates among group II cities, Cincinnati ($ 1.85 ) in group III, Jacksonville ($ 1.70 ) in group IV , and Butte ($ 1.54 ) in group V cities. A s in previous years, w ith the exception o f group V cities, rates fo r union printing-trades workers in the N orth and Pacific region were generally higher than in the South and Southwest region. This was true fo r the book and job branch in 25 out o f 30 pos sible comparisons and for the newspaper branch in 36 out o f 46 cases. 13 CHART 2 AVERAGE UNION WAGE RATES IN PRINTING TRADES ACCORDING TO SIZE OF CITY AND REGION JULY 1,1946 BOOK AND JO B AVERAGE HOURLY RATES NEW SPAPER AVERAGE HOURLY RATES 1,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ANO OVER AVERAGE HOURLY RATES 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 UNDER 1 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 , AVERAGE HOURLY RATES 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 100,000 UNDER UNDER UNDER 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 100,000 IZ E OF C I T I E S 4 0 ,0 0 0 T able 7.

Sixty-one o f the 75 cities surveyed in the book and job branch and 60 cities in the newspaper branch had increases o f at least 10 percent between July 1, 1945, and July 1, 1946. 3 These net changes w ere based on the specific rates fo r 1945 and 1946 weighted by the m embership reported in 1946. Only com parable data fo r both years were included. S pecific in creases fo r 1946 reflected a larger p ercen tage change in those cities w ith relatively low actual scales. Thus, i f rates o f pressm en in city A increased fro m $1.00 to $1.10, a gain o f 10 percent was registered. I f in city B rates rose fro m $1.40 to $1.50 the change was only about 7 percent. 16 Charlotte, N . C., in the book and job branch, and W orcester, M ass., in the newspaper branch, reported the sm allest increases, 2.8 percent (3 .5 .cents) and 5.4 percent (7 .7 cents) respectively. W eekly H ours 4 TREND O F W E E K L Y H O U R S Reflecting the reductions in straight-tipie hours between July 1, 1945, and July 1, 1946, was the drop o f 2.5 percent in the index o f union hours, which affected almost 40 percent o f the book and job workers and 7 percent of the newspaper tradesm en. Am ong the 18 cities reporting hour reductions in the book and job branch were such im portant printing-trades areas as New York and Chicago where as m any as 70 percent o f the tradesmen benefited by shorter workweeks, several trades by as much as 5 hours. In New York all o f the trades, except electrotypers and photoen gravers, and in Chicago all except cylinder pressmen, press assist ants and photoengravers reported shorter hours.

The m ost common provision, affecting over 50 percent o f the union members, called fo r 2 weeks’ vacation after 1 year of service. This plan covered a larger proportion o f newspaper than book and job people (64 percent compared to 48 percen t). A paid vacation o f 1 week after 1 year was next in importance in the book and job branch covering over 20 percent o f the workers, while a vacation o f 1 week after 6 months and 2 weeks after 1 year was the second m ost common plan in newspaper shops. The plan that generally m et the approval o f the W ar Labor Board in m anufacturing industries in late war years, 1 week a fter 1 year and 2 weeks after 5 years, included only about 6 percent o f all printing-trades workers. A substantial proportion o f union mem bers were covered by other miscellaneous provisions such as 1 week a fter 1 year and 2 weeks after 2 or 3 years. A good number o f the vacation plans mentioned above provided fo r breaking the vacation period down on a day basis so that substitutes would not be without paid vacations. Under this system , plans that called for 2 weeks a fter 1 year required that 1 day’s vacation- should be credited fo r each 25 or 26 days w orked; those that called fo r one week provided fo r one day of vacation credit fo r each 50 or 52 days worked. The vacation pattern was about the same fo r each o f the indi vidual trades in the newspaper branch. In the book and job branch, however, bindery women, electrotypers, and pressmen had relatively few er members receiving 2 weeks’ vacation after 1 year o f service than the other trades. Pressmen had more members in the 1 week after 1 year classification and bindery women had a substantial proportion in the same category, with m any additional workers also getting an extra week after 5 years o f service. In the case o f the electrotypers, few er than a quarter worked under the 2 weeks after one year p lan ; about 30 percent received either 1 week after 1 year or 1 week after 1 year plus an extra week after 5 years o f service. Over tw o-fifths o f the electrotypers op erated under other vacation arrangem ents, some o f them being more favorable than the 2 weeks after 1 year provisions men tioned above. 22 A ppren ticesh ip in th e Printing Trades The international union constitutions and the by-law s or work ing rules o f the local unions generally lim it the number o f ap prentices that m ay enter a printing craft to a specified ratio o f the total number o f journeym en union m em bers. The ratios gen erally perm it 1 apprentice for each 5 to 10 or more journeym en. In view o f recent public discussions indicating that there were insufficient young men in training in the industry, Bureau repre sentatives endeavored to obtain from local union officials details regarding the apprentice situation. A nalysis o f the composition o f the apprentice labor force indi cated an average o f 1 apprentice fo r each 11 journeym en on July 1, 1946. About a third o f the 375 printing-trades locals included in the study revealed that union regulations perm itted the em ployment o f more apprentices than were indentured at the tim e o f the survey. About 85 percent o f the responding locals reported that they were against changing the long established apprentice journeym en ratios to increase the number o f apprentices per m itted. A m ajority o f the locals reported that the percentage o f journeym an rate custom arily paid to apprentices had been in creased since 1939, indicating that where the starting rate m ight have been 50 percent o f the journeym an rate in 1939, by 1946 it was 60 or 65 percent with increasing percentages a fter speci fied periods o f training. 23 T able 13 .— Union scales o f wages and hours in the book and job printing trades in selected cities , July 1 , 1946, and July 1 , 1945 B IN D E R Y W O M E N July 1, 1946 July 1,1945 C ity and classification Rate Hours per hour per week Atlanta, Ga____ __________________________________________ ___ Baltimore, Md.: Bindery operators, hand or machine................ .......................
