This average was an increase of 10 percent over that of October 1, 1947, the date of the Bureau of Labor Statistics preceding study in the local transit industry. The 1948 wage rate index was 78 percent above the June 1, 1939 base. (See table 1.) Almost three-fourths of this rise took place after VJ-day.

Entrance rates for 1-man car and bus operators ranged from 90 cents in Charlotte, N. C., W ichita, and Miami, to $1.53 an hour in Chicago; maximum rates for this classification varied from $1.07 in Jackson, M iss., to $1.56 in Detroit. Hourly scales for 7 of every 10 of these workers ranged from $1.25 to $1.50. For 2-man surface car operators the lowest entrance rate ($1.09) was reported in Birmingham and the highest ($1.38) in Chicago. Ninety-four percent of all union motormen and conductors on 2-man cars had scales ranging from $1.25 to $1.50. (See table 2.) T able 2.— Percentage distribution o f union operating employees in the local transit industry by hourly wage rates Oct. 1, 1 94 8 Percent of union members by occupation Hourly wage rates Hourly pay scales of local transit workers are usually flat hourly rates, the most important of which is a “ maximum” scale ordinarily reached after 1 year of service with the company. M ost agreements provide for an entrance rate, one or more intermediate rates, and a maximum rate.1 23 Although the period between rate steps varies from city to city, the entrance rate is most frequently paid for the first 3 or 6 months and the intermediate rate for the remaining months of the first year of employment. Contracts in a few cities including San Francisco, Providence, 1This average is based on scales of rates paid to all transit operators in 75 cities, regardless of length of experience. To obtain the averages presented in this article, the individual rates were weighted by the number of union members working at each rate. In the index series, year-to-year changes are based on comparable quotations for the various occupations in both years. 3 This so-called “ maximum rate” is really the minimum scale after a speci fied period of employment with the company. It is not a maximum rate in the sense that the company may not pay more. 832404—49 , , 90 and under 95 cents___ 95 and under $1________ $1 and under $1.05_____ $1.05 and under $1.10. $1.10 and under $1.15____ $1.15 and under $1.20....... $1.20 and under $1.25....... $1.25 and under $1.30....... $1.30 and under $1.35....... $1.35 and under $1.40....... $1.40 and under $1.45....... $1.45 and under $1.50....... $1.50 and under $1.55....... $1.55 and under $1.60...... $1.60 and over All workers (i) W 0.1 .1 .3 2.2 4.3 5.3 12.0 12.5 16.9 24.6 7.4 S.3 5.5 .5 Operators Motormen and con or 1-man ductors of cars and 2-man sur busses face cars 0.1 0) W .1 .4 3.1 3.8 5.1 9.2 12.4 18.8 22.8 7.0 11.9 4.8 .5 Elevated and sub way operators 0.2 0.3 .5 4.2 20.6 13.9 16.3 37.1 5.9 15.7 9.0 12.7 9.6 4.7 11.9 13.4 1.7 21.1 .4 .8 3Less than 0.05 of 1 percent. Over one-fifth of all elevated and subway operating employees had pay scales varying from $1.55 to $1.60. In contrast, only 5 percent of all 1-man car and bus operators and about 1 per cent of the 2-man operators had rates of $1.55 or more an hour. l 2 U N IO N W A G E S A N D As in previous years, the highest scale reported in 1948 was in Detroit where “ owl” car and bus operators received $1.66 an hour. This rate was 10 cents above the maximum for day runs. In most cities, higher rates were specified for operators of 1-man than for operators of 2-man cars.3 Differentials ranged from 5 cents an hour in Atlanta and Baltimore to 13 cents in Los Angeles. However, identical rates for 1-man car and bus and 2-man car operation were reported in Milwaukee and San Francisco. The 1948 study is the twenty-eighth in a series of annual surveys of the local transit industry conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics beginning with 1921. Information in the current report is based on union scales in effect on October 1, 1948, covering 104,506 local city transit operating employees in 75 cities. Scales for trackmen and maintenance workers were omitted. Rates paid by munic ipally owned intracity transit systems were in cluded if unions acted as bargaining agents for the employees. The data, including copies of union agreements, were obtained primarily from local union officials through mail questionnaires and, in a few cities, by personal visit of Bureau field representatives. Sixty-nine percent of the total union membership ’ Effective union scales were reported for 2-man surface cars in only 13 of the 75 cities surveyed. Since the 1947 survey, operation of 2-man surface cars has been discontinued in Cincinnati, Omaha, Beading, and Washington, D. C. HOURS studied operated 1-man cars and busses; 21 per cent, 2-man cars; and 10 percent were employed on elevated and subway lines. Wage Rate Changes, October 1947-October 1948 Pay scales remained unchanged in only three cities—Boston, Birmingham, and San Francisco— between October 1, 1947, and October 1, 1948. Contract changes in 72 cities resulted in an average 10-percent increase in the hourly scales of all local transit operating employees. An average in crease of 12 cents for 1-man car and bus operators advanced their wage level to $1.37 an hour on October 1,1948, as shown in table 3. The average for 2-man car operators was 1 cent lower.

Operators of elevated and subway lines, who represented but a small portion of all transit workers studied, received a 17-percent increase over the year, amounting to 20 cents. Their hourly rate averaged $1.39 on October 1, 1948. A 24-cent increase granted to subway employees in New York City was the primary cause of the sharp rise. Increases in Pay Scales After October 1,1948 Pay scales of local transit workers in several cities were further increased after the Bureau's October 1, 1948 survey. For example, effective in January 1949, about 3,000 local bus and street car operators in St. Louis and 1,500 in Kansas City were granted wage boosts of 13 and 11 cents an hour, respectively. Union workers in Baltimore and Beading also benefited from a 10-cents-an-hour increase. Among several smaller wage adjustments was the 5-cent increase granted to local transit employees in Cincinnati and Miami. Standard Weekly and Daily Honrs In some cities, a tendency appears to be grow ing in the local transit industry toward standard izing the number of weekly hours worked before overtime is paid. But contracts in the great m ajority of the cities covered in the Bureau's survey provided premium overtime rates after a definite number of hours per day or after the completion of scheduled runs. However, 40 hours constituted the straight-time workweek in one-fourth of all cities, and weeks of 44 or 48 hours were typical in another small group. D aily overtime in most cities was paid after 8 or 8% hours. In other cities, such as Charleston, S. C., and Charlotte, N. C., the premium overtime rate did not become effective until after 9H hours had been worked. Bus drivers in Chattanooga and Savannah and 1-man car and bus operators in Syracuse, N. Y ., were paid overtime rates only after completion of regular scheduled runs. Union Scales of Wages and Hours, by City A fisting of union wage scales in effect October 1, 1948, and October 1, 1947, for each of the 75 cities included in the current survey is presented in table 6. W eekly hours in effect on these dates are also shown for those cities that had a regular workweek after which premium overtime was paid. 4 U N IO N WAGES AN D , HOURS , .
