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

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.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

AVERAGE HOURS AND EARNINGS, 1926, BY STATES

Average full-time hours per week, earnings per hour, and full-time
earnings per week are presented in Table 2 for males, for females,
and for the total number of wage earners of all the establishments
in each State covered in the 1926 study of the industry.
Average full-time hours per week for males in 1926 range from 49
for the 8,611 in Massachusetts to 57 for the 5,988 in Georgia, and
for females range from 48 for the 8,694 in Massachusetts to 56.9 for
the 3,777 in Georgia. Averages by States for males and females
combined, or the industry, range from 48.5 for the 17,305 in Massa­
chusetts to 57 for the 9,765 in Georgia.
Average earnings per hour for males range from 26.5 cents for those
in Alabama to 46.8 cents for those in New Hampshire, and for females
range from 20.9 cents for those in Alabama to 39 cents for those in
New Hampshire. Averages by States for both sexes, or the industry,
range from 24.2 cents in Alabama to 42.9 cents in New Hampshire.
Average full-time earnings per week for males range from $14.55 in
Alabama to $25.27 in New Hampshire, and for females range from
$11.43 in Alabama to $20.90 in New Hampshire. Averages by States
for both sexes combined, or the industry, range from $13.26 in Ala­
bama to $23.08 in New Hampshire. The greatest difference between
the averages for males and for females by States is $4.82 in Maine,
and the least is $2.26 in Pennsylvania.
Comparing the averages at the end of the table for males in all
States with those for females it is seen that the full-time hours for
males are 1 more per week than those for females; that the average
earnings per hour for males exceed those for females 4.6 cents; and
that the average full-time earnings per week for males exceed those
for females $2.78.

AVERAGE AND CLASSIFIED EARNINGS PER HOUR

Average and classified earnings per hour are presented in Table 3
for spinners, frame, female; for weavers, male; and for weavers,
female, for each of the specified years 1910 to 1926; and for the
employees in eight other of the most important occupations in the
industry for 1926 only, the latter not being classified prior to 1926.
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

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.

"WAGES AND HOURS---- COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING

FULL-TIME HOURS PER WEEK AND PER DAY, 1926

The regular or normal hours of a cotton mill are the hours when
the mill is working its recognized standard of hours as established
by a regular time of beginning and of quitting work, less the regular
time off duty for meals, and with no overtime and no loss of time for
any cause.
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

OVERTIME

Overtime as reported in the cotton-goods manufacturing industry
is generally understood as any time worked in excess of the regular
standard of hours per day or per week as established by a specified
time for beginning and for quitting work, less the regular time off
duty at or near noon for meals, or at night for employees who work
on a night shift.
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.

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. In 17
mills the bonus was based on production, in 9 on attendance, *and in
2 on attendance and production. In part of these 28 mills all
employees were paid the bonus, and in the remainder the bonus was
paid to only a certain portion of the employees.
DAYS ON WHICH EMPLOYEES WORKED, 1926

Table 6 shows for 10 of the most important occupations in the
cotton industry the average and the actual number of days on which
employees worked in a representative pay period in 1926.
“ Days on which employees worked” means the number of calendar
days or parts of days on which any work was done. In compiling
this table any part of a day has been counted as a day.
The 964 male picker tenders in the 151 mills covered in 1926 worked
an average of 5 days in one week. Forty-two of them worked on
1 day only, 35 on 2 days, 48 on 3 days, 118 on 4 days, 269 on 5 days,
and 452 worked on 6 days in a 1-week pay period.
It will be observed that data in the table are for a 1-week pay
period for nine occupations and for a 2-week pay period for weavers.

IMPORTANCE OF THE INDUSTRY

INDEX NUMBERS OF EMPLOYMENT AND PAY ROLLS,
1922 TO 1926
In monthly reports on “ Employment in Selected Manufacturing
Industries” in the United States the Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes index numbers of employment and of pay rolls. The num­
bers in Table 7 are for each of the months, July, 1922, to December,
1926, and also for the years 1923 to 1926, with the 1923 average as
the base or 100 per cent.
Employment in the cotton industry, as shown in the table, de­
creased from an index of 100 in 1923 to 83 in 1924, increased to 84 in
1925, and then dropped to 83.1 in 1926. July,. 1924, with an index of
73, was lower, and March, 1923, with an index of 106.5, was higher
in employment than any other month in the period.
The amount of pay rolls in the industry decreased from 100 in 1923
to 80.7 in 1924, increased to 81.9 in 1925, and then dropped to 81 in
1926, or 19 below the 1923 index. July, 1924, with an index of 64.1,
was lower, and May, 1923, with an index of 110.1, was higher, in
amount of pay rolls than any other month in the period.

IMPORTANCE OF THE INDUSTRY
Table 8 shows the number of establishments, average number of
wage earners, amount of wages, cost of materials, value of the prod­
ucts, and value added by manufacture in the cotton-goods manufac­
turing industry. 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.

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.

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

WAGES AND HOURS---- COTTON-GOODS MANUFACTURING

EXPLANATION OF SCOPE AND METHOD
This bulletin includes 1926 data as to wages and hours of labor
for the wage earners in 151 cotton mills. 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.

GENERAL TABLES

21

Full-time hours per week are the regular hours during which, under
normal conditions, employees in an occupation are on duty. 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.
