S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS WASHINGTON n o . 446 j u l y , 1927 WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING, 1910 TO 1926 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY During the summer and early fall of 1926 the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor in a study of the cotton-goods manufacturing industry in the United States collected from representative cotton mills wage data, by occupations, for a representative pay period. These wage data consisted principally of the number of days and hours worked and the amount earned by each individual in the pay period. From the data so collected average days on which employees worked and average hours and earnings were computed and are presented in Table 1 for the wage earners in the 19 most important occupations in the industry and also for a miscella neous group, designated “ other employees,” covering a considerable number of occupations, but none of which had a sufficient number of wage earners to warrant separate tabulation. Summary figures for each of the specified years (1910 to 1924) for which data have been collected for bulletins prior to this report are also presented in Tables 1,3, and 4 in order that comparisons of one year with another may be easily made. The data for each of the years for which averages and classified figures are presented in the tables of this bulletin were taken by agents of the bureau directly from the records of cotton mills, the number ranging from 59 in 1910 to 151 in 1926. As practically all of the 1926 wage data were taken from pay rolls in the months of June to September, the figures for the year are therefore representative of conditions in those months. The wage earners of the 151 mills covered in 1926 consist of 46,879 males and 36,103 females, a total of 82,982, or nearly 18 per cent of the total number in the cotton industry in the United States in 1923, according to the United States Census of Manufactures. They are also a little more than 19 per cent of the total number employed in the States included in the study— namely, Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia. The 1926 averages in Table 1 are for males alone in 7 occupations and for both sexes in 12 occupations. Average full-time hours per week of males by occupations range from 48.4 for mule spinners to 1 2 WAGES AND HOURS— COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING 59.2 for spooler tenders, and of females range from 49.8 for beamer tenders to 53.7 for creelers or tiers-in. Average earnings per hour of males range from 19 cents for spooler tenders to 65.6 cents for mule spinners, and of females range from 24.6 cents for spooler tenders to 41.1 cents for beamer tenders. Average full-time earnings per week of males range from $11.25 for spooler tenders to $31.75 for mule spinners, and of females range from $12.94 for trimmers or inspectors to $20.47 for beamer tenders. Average full-time earnings per week of females exceed those of males in 3 of the 12 occupations (doffers, spooler tenders, and drawers-in) for which figures are shown for both sexes, the difference ranging from 42 cents for drawers-in to $1.94 for spooler tenders. In 9 of the 12 occupations the average full-time earnings per week of males exceed those of females, the difference ranging from 13 cents for speeder tenders to $5.66 for beamer tenders. Industry averages are presented at the end of the table for the employees in all of the “ selected occupations” combined for each of the years 1910 to 1914, and for the employees in “ all occupations” in the industry for each of the specified years 1914 to 1926. The averages for the selected occupations in 1910 to 1914 are therefore comparable one year with another, as are also the averages for “ all occupations” in specified years 1914 to 1926. Index numbers of average full-time hours per week, average earnings per hour, and average full-time earnings per week are presented in the last three columns of Table 1 for each of the occupations for which these averages are shown for 1913, the 1913 average being taken as the base, or 100 per cent. Index numbers for the industry from 1910 to 1914 were computed from the combined data for the selected occupations, with the 1913 average as the base, or 100 per cent. The index for each of the specified years since 1914 were computed by increasing or decreasing the 1914 index in proportion to the increase or decrease in the averages for all occupations as between 1914 and the specified succeeding year. Average full-time hours per week for the industry decreased from an index of 100 in 1913 to 89.7 in 1920 and then increased to 91.5 in 1922, to 91.8 in 1924, and to 92.3 in 1926. Average earnings per hour for the industry increased from an index of 100 in 1913 to 323.5 in 1920, or a little less than three and one-fourth times the 1913 average; decreased to 222.4 in 1922; increased to 250.7 in 1924; and decreased to 221.0 in 1926. Average full-time earnings per week for the industry increased from an index of 100 in 1913 to 291.8 in 1920; dropped to 204.5 in 1922; in creased to 231.5 in 1924; and then dropped to 205.2 in 1926. These earnings did not increase or decrease in the same proportion as average earnings per hour because of the increase or decrease in the average full-time hours per week. 3 INTRODUCTION AND SXTMMABY T able 1 .— Average hours and earnings and index numbers of average hours and earningst 1910 to 1926, by occupation, sex, and year Occupation and sex Picker tenders: Male . . .

The classification used in the table is a percentage distribution of employees in each occupation by average earnings per hour. The classified figures shown for these occupations are representative of those for the other occupations in the industry. Data are presented in the table for males alone in four occupations and for both sexes in six occupations. The 22,268 males in these occupations in 1926 represent 48 per cent of the total number of males covered in that year, and the 26,800 females represent 74 per cent of the females included in the 1926 study. The males and females in these occupations represent 59 per cent of the total number of employ ees in all occupations in 1926. Employees in these occupations are also classified by average earnings per hour and by States in Table B, pages 29 to 34. They are also classified by average full-time hours per week in Table 4 and in Table C, pages 35 to 37; by number of days on which employees worked in pay period in Table 6; by hours INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY 9 worked in pay period in Table’ D, pages 38 to 43; and by earnings in pay period in Table E, pages 44 to 49. The table showing classified average earnings per hour is graphic in effect, in that it shows that the lowest averages in the later years for a great majority of the employees begin where the highest aver ages ended in the early years. Example: In 1910 and 1911 only 1 per cent of the male weavers earned as much as 25 cents and over per hour, and in 1912 and 1913 only 3 per cent earned that amount, while in 1920, 1922, 1924, and 1926 the percentage earning 25 cents and over ranges from approximately 87 (in 1922) to 99 (in 1920). In 1910 the 5,334 male weavers earned an average of 15.1 cents per hour and 5 per cent earned less than 10 cents per hour. Average earnings per hour in this occupation increased to 57.3 cents in 1920, when less than 1 per cent of the 6,077 employees in the occupation earned under 25 cents per hour. The average decreased from 57.3 cents in 1920 to 38.9 cents in 1922, increased to 44.9 cents in 1924, and then dropped to 39.6 cents in 1926, when 1 per cent of the 8,603 covered in that year earned 16 and under 18 cents; 1 per cent earned 18 and under 20 cents; and approximately 98 per cent earned 20 cents or more per hour. Fourteen per cent earned 25 and under 30 cents, 35 per cent earned 30 and under 40 cents, 23 per cent earned 40 and under 50 cents, 13 per cent earned 50 and under 60 cents, 5 per cent earned 60 and unaer 70 cents, and 1 per cent earned 70 and under 80 cents per hour.

Table 4 shows the per cent of employees in each of 10 important occupations at each group of full-time hours per week for each of the years 1910 to 1926 for which data are shown. Reading the figures for speeder tenders, male, in explanation of the data in the table, it is seen that in 1910 the full-time hours of 64 per cent of the employees in the occupation were 60 per week and that the hours of 36 per cent were over 60 per week. The average decreased from 61.4 hours per week in 1910 to 54.1 per week in 1922, when the hours of 16 per cent were 48 per week, 2 per cent were over 48 and under 54 per week, 6 per cent were 54 per week, 70 per cent were over 54 and under 57 per week, and the full-time hours of 6 per cent were 60 per week. The average increased from 54.1 per week in 1922 to 54.3 in 1924 and to 55.1 in 1926, when the full-time hours of 15 per cent of the 2,545 covered in that year were 60 per week and of 1 per cent were over 60 per week.

In the 1926 study of the industry 140 of the 151 cotton mills covered in that year reported the same rate of pay for overtime as for regular work. Five mills reported 50 per cent extra or one and one-half times the regular rate for overtime, the rate applying to all employees in the mill. Two mills reported one and one-half times the regular rate for overtime, the rate applying to only a part of the employees in the mill. One mill reported one and one-half times the regular rate to a part of the employees in the mill, and one and one-fourth times the regular rate for overtime to the other part. Two mills reported one and one-fourth times the regular rate for overtime, the rate applying to all employees. One mill reported 15 per cent extra for overtime, this rate being paid for such work to only a part of the employees in the mill. 16 WAGES AND HOURS— COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING BONUSES Only 28 of the 151 mills covered in 1926 had bonus systems in operation during the pay period for which data were taken.

These figures are as reported by the United States Bureau of the Census for each of the specified years, 1899 to 1925. The same figures are also shown for 1923 for each of the 12 principal cotton-goods manufacturing States. Computations based on these figures to show the average per wage earner for each of the items have been made and are shown in the table. Average annual wages per wage earner range from $286 in 1899 to $816 in 1923. The averages by States in 1923 range from $588 in Georgia to $1,335 in Pennsylvania. 18 WAGES AND HOURS— COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING Wages formed 60 per cent of the value added by manufacture in 1914, the highest percentage in any of the years 1899 to 1925, and 42 per cent in 1919, the year of lowest percentage. The per cent wages formed of the value added by manufacture in the various States in 1923 range from 42 in Alabama and Virginia to 76 in Maine.

WAGES AND HOURS— COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING 19 PRICES OF COTTON, AND INDEX NUMBERS, 1913 TO 1926 Table 9 shows the average wholesale price per pound of cotton, middling upland, New York, as published in Bulletin No. 440 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, pages 50 and 51, for each of the years from 1913 to 1926, and the index numbers of wholesale prices of cotton, cotton goods, and average earnings per hour, with the 1913 average as the base or 100 per cent. “ Cotton goods” as here used includes each of the various kinds of cotton goods for which wholesale prices are shown in Bulletins Nos. 415 and 440 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figures used in computing the index numbers for cotton goods were obtained by weighting the price of each kind of goods by the quantity (as nearly as could be determined) thereof sold in the markets in 1919. For the kinds of cotton goods and the weightings, see pages 220 and 221 of Bulletin No. 440. Between 1913 and 1926 the average price per pound of cotton, middling, upland, New York, ranged from 10.2 cents in 1915 to 33.9 cents in 1920. The average price increased from an index of 100 in 1913 to 264.9 in 1920, an increase of 164.9 per cent; dropped to 118.2 in 1921; increased to 228.9 in 1923; and then dropped to 137.1 in 1926. Cotton-goods prices increased from an index of 100 in 1913 to 328.6 in 1920, the increase being 228.6 per cent over the 1913 price, as compared with an increase of only 164.9 in the price of cotton; dropped from 328.6 in 1920 to 158.5 in 1921; increased to 199.1 in 1923; and then dropped to 160.3 in 1926. Average earnings per hour increased from an index of 100 in 1913 to 323.5 in 1920, the increase being approximately the same as the increase in the wholesale price of cotton goods between 1913 and 1920; dropped to 222.4 in 1922; increased to 250.7 in 1924; and then decreased to 221 in 1926.

The mills are engaged in the manufacture of broad or wide-woven cotton goods of varying weight and quality. Data were not collected from any mills in which all or the major portion of the products was narrow goods, thread, or novelties. The number of mills for which data are presented for each of the years since 1910 is as follows: 191 0 ______________________________ 59 establishments. 1911 and 1912___________________________________ 88 establishments. 1913 and 1914___________________________________ 90 establishments. 1916____________________________________________ 105 establishments. 1918____________________________________ _______ 106 establishments. 1920______________________________________ :_____ 96 establishments. 1922____________________________________________ 97 establishments. 1924_______________ ____________________________ 114 establishments. 1926____________________________________________ 151 establishments. In selecting mills from which to obtain data the bureau in 1926, as in other years, included all States in which cotton-goods manufac turing is of material importance, especially in the number of wage earners. Table 10 shows by States the number of wage earners in the indus try in 1923 according to the United States Census of Manufactures. The number of mills from which the bureau obtained data for 1926 and the number of wage earners therein for whom data are presented are also shown in the table. According to these figures nearly 93 per cent of the total number of wage earners in the industry were in the States in which the mills furnishing information to the Bureau of Labor Statistics are located. The number of wage earners included in the 1926 study of the industry is nearly 18 per cent of the total in the industry in 1923.

Such hours do not in any way indicate the extent of employment or of unemployment. Employees may work overtime or broken time, or be laid off, or a temporary reduction may be made in working hours without affecting in any way the full-time hours as here presented. The average earnings per hour as published in the tables in this bulletin include the earnings of both time workers and piece workers and are obtained by dividing the total earnings of all employees in an occupation in the pay period by the total number of hours worked. Where no record of actual time worked was regularly kept for piece workers, the officials of the mills, at the request of the bureau, had a record of actual time worked kept for a representative pay period. Full-time earnings per week are the earnings of employees working full time, or broken time reduced to equivalent earnings for a full week. A description of each of the occupations or operations in a repre sentative cotton mill is published in Bulletin No. 239 of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The occupations are arranged in the tables approximately in the order of manufacture, as follows: Picker tenders. Card tenders and strippers. Card grinders. Drawing-frame tenders. Slubber tenders. Speeder tenders. Spinners, mule. Spinners, frame. Doffers. Spooler tenders. Creelers or tiers-in. Warper tenders. Beamer tenders. Slasher tenders. Drawers-in. Warp-tying-machine tenders. Loom fixers. Weavers. Trimmers or inspectors. Other employees. GENERAL TABLES In addition to the text tables already shown, five general tables are presented, as follows: T able A.—Average number of days on which employees worked, average full-time and actual hours and earnings in pay period, average earnings per hour, and per cent of full-time worked, 1926, by occu pation, sex, and State. In this table are shown by occupation and by State all of the various averages which have been computed from the data collected in 1926. These are the averages of the days on which employees actually worked in one representative pay period of two weeks for weavers and of one week for all other occupations in 1926, full-time hours per week, of hours actually worked in one pay period, of earnings per hour, of full-time earnings in pay period, and of actual earnings in one repre sentative pay period. The presentation in this table in parallel columns of “ Average full-time hours per pay period” and “ Average hours actually worked in pay period” is for the purpose of easy comparison of the hours that would be worked in a pay period should all employees in an occupation work no more nor less than full-time, with the average hours actually worked in a pay period by the employees who did any work in the pay period. 45901°— 27------ 4 22 WAGES AND HOURS— COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING T able B.— Average and classified earnings per hour in 10 specified occupations, 1926, by sex and State.
