INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
This bulletin presents the results of a study of wages and hours
of labor of wage earners in foundries and in machine shops in the

Table 1 shows summary figures for wage earners in all occupations
and in each occupation in foundries and in machine shops in 1929
in comparison with summaries for other years in which studies were
made. Average full-time hours per week for all employees in foundries
were 51.0 or 0.1 hour less than in 1927. Average earnings per hour
were 62.4 cents or the same as in 1927, and average full-time earn­
ings per week were $31.82 or 7 cents per week less than in 1927.
Average full-time hours per week for all employees in machine shops
in 1929 (p. 3) were 50.3 or 0.2 hour more than in 1927; earnings
per hour were 63.8 cents in 1929 or 1.3 cents more than in 1927;

w Included with “ Other machine operators ” in 1923 and 1925.
» This occupation was divided in 1927, into 2 groups: Sheet-metal machine operators and other precisionmachine operators.

Index numbers of average full-time hours per week, average earn­
ings per hour, and full-time earnings per week are shown in Table 1
with the 1923 average as the base or 100 per cent. The purpose of
these numbers is to make easy the comparison of the averages one year
with another over the period from 1923 to 1929. Examples: Average
full-time hours per week of males and females in all occupations in
foundries decreased from 5.24 or an index of 100 in 1923 to 51.5 or
an index of 98.3 in 1925; to 51.1 or an index of 97.5 in 1927; and to
an average of 51.0 or an index of 97.3 in 1929. Average earnings
per hour increased from an index of 100 in 1923 to 109.3 in 1925; to
111.8 in 1927 and 1929; and average full-time earnings per week in­
creased from an index of 100 in 1923 to 107.5 in 1925, and to 109.1
in 1927; and decreased to 108.8 in 1929. The difference in the trend
of index numbers of average earnings per hour and average full-time
earnings per week is due to the changes from year to year of average
full-time hours per week.
Data for 1923 are presented in Table 1 for 32,166 wage earners in
351 foundries and 58,914 wage earners in 429 machine shops; for

1925 for 40,393 wage earners in 413 foundries and 86,274 wage earn­
ers in 511 machine shops; for 1927 for 38,943 wage earners in 417
foundries and 86,779 wage earners in 526 machine shops; and for
1929 for 40,391 wage earners in 399 foundries and 91,491 wage earn­
ers in 508 machine shops. Males were employed in each of these
establishments. Females were employed in 22 of the 351 foundries
and in 19 of the 429 machine shops in 1923; in 43 of the 413 foundries
and in 36 of the 511 machine shops in 1925; in 42 of the 417 foundries
and in 50 of the 526 machine shops in 1927; and in 41 of the 399
foundries and in 56 of the 508 machine shops in 1929.
It was not practicable for the bureau to make a complete census of
all plants, but data were obtained from a sufficient number in each
State in which the industry is of material importance to represent
fairly the conditions in those States and in the country as a whole.
Care was taken not to obtain too many plants from the large indus­
trial centers, and in cases of extremely large plants only a percentage
of the employees were used, so as not to give undue weight to such
plants. A very large proportion of the establishments covered in
1929 was also included in 1923, 1925, and 1927. The 28 States in­
cluded in the study were determined by the number of wage earners
reported in the industry by the Census of Manufactures of the United
States, each having a sufficient number of wage earners in the in­
dustry to warrant inclusion. Only 4 per cent of the total number
of wage earners were employed in the States not included in the
report.
Average fufl-time hours per week for males in all occupations in
foundries decreased from 52.4 in 1923 to 51.5 in 1925, to 51.1 in 1927;
and to 51.0 in 1929; and for females, decreased from 49.3 in 1923 to
49.0 in 1925 and 1927, and increased to 49.7 in 1929.
In 1929 average full-time hours per week by occupations for males
in foundries ranged from 49.6 for molders, hand, bench, to 52.2 for
crane operators, and those for females ranged from 49.1 for core
makers to 51.6 for laborers.
Average earnings per hour in foundries for males in all occupa­
tions combined increased from 56 cents in 1923 to 61.2 cents in 1925,
to 62.6 cents in 1927, and decreased to 62.5 cents in 1929; and for
females increased from 40.4 cents in 1923 to 42.7 cents in 1925, to 45.9
cents in 1927, and decreased to 45.1 cents in 1929. Average earn­
ings per hour by occupations for males in 1929 ranged from 49 cents
for laborers to 83.3 cents for pattern makers, and for females ranged
from 38.6 cents for laborers to 49.2 cents for the group designated as
“ Other employees.”
Average full-time earnings per week in foundries for males in all
occupations combined increased from $29.34 in 1923 to $31.52 in
1925, to $31.99 in 1927, and decreased to $31.88 in 1929; and for
females increased from $19.92 in 1923 to $20.92 in 1925, to $22.49
in 1927, and decreased to $22.41 in 1929; and for both sexes in all
occupations combined, or the industry, increased from $29.24 in 1923
to $31.42 in 1925, to $31.89 in 1927, and decreased to $31.82 in 1929.
Average full-time earnings per week by occupations for males in 1929
ranged from $25.53 for laborers to $41.73 for pattern makers.

The above table shows that average earnings per hour and average
full-time earnings per week of machine-shop employees in Alabama,
Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas were higher in 1927 and
1929 than the average of foundry employees in these States. Ma­
chinists in these States were paid higher wages than in many other
States. Many of the shops in them have few or no “ machine oper­
ators” or specialists, but on the other hand employ first-class machin­
ists capable of operating, setting up, and repairing the various kinds
of machines used in machine-shop work and also the fitting and assem­
bling of the various parts of machinery. The tables of this bulletin
show that while the total number of machine-shop wage earners
covered in the five Southern States are only 2.3 per cent of the total
covered in all States, the machinists covered in the five States are 6.1
per cent of the total number of machinists covered in all States, and
that the average earnings per hour for the machinists covered in the
five Southern States are $0,762, compared with $0,739 for all machin­
ists in all States covered,
AVERAGE AND CLASSIFIED EARNINGS PER HOUR, BY
OCCUPATION
Table 3 shows average earnings per hour and the percentage dis­
tribution, according to earnings, of employees in 8 representative
occupations in foundries and in 17 representative occupations in
machine shops in 1923, 1925, 1927, and 1929. The figures for the
wage earners in these occupations fairly represent the percentage
distribution, according to average earnings per hour, of the wage
earners in all occupations in foundries and machine shops. Data
in the table are for males in all of the 8 occupations in foun­
dries and of the 17 occupations in machine shops and for females for
1 occupation only (core makers) in foundries. Average and classified
earnings per hour for the wage earners in this table are also shown
for each State in Table B, page 71.

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

The foundry wage workers in this table represent 85.6 per cent of
the total number covered in 1923, 84.3 per cent in 1925, and 82.5 per
cent of the number covered in 1927 and 1929. In machine shops the
number of wage workers shown in this table as compared with the total
number covered was 71.7 per cent in 1923, 67 per cent in 1925, 65.9
per cent in 1927, and 65.3 per cent in 1929.
Reading the figures for chippers and rough grinders in explanation
of the data in the table, it is seen that average earnings per hour
increased from an average of 46.5 cents in 1923 to 52.1 cents in 1925,
to 53.7 cents in 1927, and to 53.8 cents in 1929, and that the average
earnings per hour of 9 per cent of the 4,233 chippers and rough
grinders covered in 1929 were less than 40 cents per hour, of 29 per
cent were 40 and under 50 cents, of 34 per cent were 50 and under 60
cents, of 18 per cent were 60 and under 70 cents, and of 10 per cent
were 70 cents and over per hour.

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

REGULAR OR CUSTOMARY HOURS OF OPERATION
Table 4 shows the per cent of employees in each of 8 representative
occupations in foundries and of 17 in machine shops at each classified
group of full-time hours per week in 1923,1925,1927, and 1929, and
also shows for each of these occupations average full-time hours per
week in each of these years. For a distribution of the number of
employees in 1929 in each occupation and State, by full-time hours
per week, see Table O, page 91.
The regular or customary full-time hours per week are the number
of hours per shift that a foundry or a machine shop under normal
conditions is in operation without taking into consideration the hours
actually worked by individual employees during the period covered.
There was only one shift in the vast majority of the establishments
included in this report. Reading the figures for chippers and rough
grinders in explanation of the data in the table it is seen that full­
time hours decreased from an average of 52.5 per week in 1923 to
51.5 in 1925 and to 51.1 in 1927, and then increased to 51.4 per week
in 1929; that the full-time hours of 1 per cent of the 4,233 chippers
and rough grinders covered in 1929 were under 44 per week, of 2 per
cent were 44 per week, of 8 per cent were over 44 and under 48 per
week, of 20 per cent were 48 per week, of 3 per cent were over 48
and under 50 per week, etc.; also that the full-time hours of 34 per
cent of the 4,233 wage earners in this occupation were less than 50
hours per week, of 22 per cent were 50 per week, and of 45 per cent
were over 50 per week.

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

CHANGES IN HOURS AND WAGE RATES
^During the 1929 study data were obtained as to changes in full­
time hours and wage rates in foundries and machine shops between
July 1, 1927, and the period of the 1929 study.
Only 14 of the 399 foundries and 19 of the 508 machine shops re­
ported changes in full-time hours. In 4 foundries and 10 machine
shops hours were increased and in 10 foundries and 9 machine
shops hours were decreased.
Only 15 of the 399 foundries and 15 of the 508 machine shops cov­
ered in 1929 reported changes in wage rates. Rates were increased in
13 foundries and 15 machine shops and decreased in 2 foundries as
shown in Table 6.

PAY FOR OVERTIME, 1929
Overtime is ordinarily understood to be any time worked in excess
of the regular or customary hours of work per day and is usually
paid for at a higher rate than for regular working time. Approxi­
mately 29 per cent of the plants covered in this study paid for
overtime at the same rate as for regular hours. In some plants
the regular rate was paid until a certain number of hours per day
had been worked in addition to the customary hours of the plant.
Example: The regular hours of a plant were 8 per day and 48 per
week, but the extra rate for overtime was not paid except for time




P A Y FOR OVERTIME, 1929

27

worked in excess of 9 hours per day or 54 per week. The 1 hour of
overtime per day in excess of the regular 8 hours was paid for at the
regular rate. In a considerable number of plants included in the 1929
study, the overtime rate was 1}{ or 1% times the regular rate for a
specified number of hours or to a certain time, as 7 p. m., and then
two times the regular rate. In some plants the extra rate for over­
time was paid to all employees, in others to employees in certain
occupations only. Most of the plants that pay a higher rate for
overtime than for regular hours per day also provide for an extra
rate for work on Sunday and holidays. # There is, however, very little
work on Sunday and holidays in this industry. Table 7 shows that
238 of the 399 foundries and 400 of the 508 machine shops covered
in the 1929 study paid part or all employees extra rates for overtime
and for work on Sunday and holidays.

BONUS SYSTEMS

31

BONUS SYSTEMS
A bonus system is an arrangement by which the earnings of a certain
part or all of the employees in an establishment at piece or time rates
would be increased under certain conditions. Earnings at piece or
time rates were increased by the addition of a bonus of a stated amount
or of a specified per cent of earnings, for production, efficiency, attend­
ance, length of service, or by the payment at basic rates for all or
part of the time saved by doing a job or piece of work in less than
the standard of time allowed or established for it by a time study.
Bonus systems were in effect in 45 of the 399 foundries and in 117
of the 508 machine shops covered at the time of the 1929 study. The
number of establishments, the employees entitled to receive the
bonus, the amount of the bonus, and the conditions necessary in
order to receive the bonus are given in Table 8. Bonus systems were
in operation in plants covered in 1929 in Califomia, Colorado,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampsnire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, and
Wisconsin. Bonus systems are more numerous in foundries and
machine shops than in any other industries covered in wage reports
by the bureau.
In 18 foundries and 83 machine shops a time-saving bonus only was
paid to part or all of the employees for doing work of a set standard
in less than the stated period of time allowed for it. Some establish­
ments paid employees for all of time saved while others paid for only
a portion of the time at regular hourly rates. Example: A standard
of 50 hours was set for the completion of a certain job or piece of work.
An employee completed the work in 40 hours, thereby saving 10
hours. He was paid for the 40 hours that he actually worked and
also a bonus of one-half of the 10 hours saved. In another plant he
would have been paid for the 40 hours worked and also for all of the
10 hours saved.
In nine foundries and five machine shops a production bonus only
was paid to part or to all of the employees. This form of bonus was
earned on all or on various percentages of production above a certain
standard quantity generally paid for at a rate per piece. The bonus
in some plants was based on individual production and in others on
the production by a group of employees. In the latter the bonus
for the group was divided among the employees according to the
basic rate and the hours worked by each individual in the group
during the pay period.
Six foundries and six machine shops reported efficiency bonus
systems only, similar to the production bonus except that payments
were based on earnings of individuals and percentages of efficiency
during the pay period. This bonus applied to part or to all of the
employees in these establishments.
Five foundries and two machine shops reported an “ attendance”
bonus only, affecting part or all of the employees for regular attend­
ance during a specified period of time or for working a set number of
hours per day or night.
Two foundries and four machine shops reported a “ service” bonus
only, for all employees in the service a specified period of time.
Example: An employee's earnings were increased by a bonus of 1
per cent of his annual earnings at regular rate after one year of service,



32

WAGES AND HOtJRS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

2 per cent after two years, 3 per cent after three years, etc., to 5 per
cent after five years of continuous service.
Three foundries and four machine shops reported systems based on
the estimated labor cost of a job only. When the labor cost was less
than the estimated cost 35 to 100 per cent of the difference was pro­
rated among the workers on the job based on individual rate and
time on the job.
Three machine shops reported penalties in addition to a time
saving system. If a job was completed in more than the time
allotted to it, the excess time at hourly rate was deducted as penalty
from regular earnings in one plant and one-half the excess was de­
ducted in the other two plants.
Three machine shops reported a bonus which was a percentage of
the yearly earnings of only such employees as were on the pay rolls
Christmas when the bonus was paid.
One machine shop paid a “ punctuality and full-time attendance”
bonus of two hours per week at hourly rates to all employees who were
on time and worked a full week.
In addition to the above, “ efficiency and time-saving” bonuses
were paid in one foundry and one machine shop, “ service and
attendance” in one foundry and one machine shop, “ profit-sharing
and production” and “ service and efficiency” each in one machine
shop, and “ time-saving and attendance” bonuses in two machine
shops.

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

CLASSIFIED DAYS WORKED BY EMPLOYEES, 1929
Table 9 shows the percentage distribution of employees in 8 of
the representative occupations in foundries and 17 in machine shops
according to the number of days on which they worked in one week.
“ Days worked” as used in this table means the number of calendar
days or parts of days on which employees did some work. A full
day or any part of a day was counted as a day. The average num­
ber of days worked by employees in the occupation is a simple
average obtained by dividing the aggregate number of days on which
any work was done by the total number of employees in the occupa­
tion.
The table shows that 65 per cent of the 4,233 chippers and rough
grinders worked on 6 days during the week covered, 24 per cent on
5 days, 6 per cent on 4 days, 2 per cent on 3 days, 2 per cent on 2
days, and 1 per cent on 1 day, and also that 1 per cent worked on
7 days during the week. The average for all was 5.5 days.

Indexes of employment and of pay rolls in foundries and machine
shops and for machine tools and steam fittings, etc. (machine shops
engaged in making tools used in machine shops and steam fittings,
etc., that require machining), are presented separately in Table 10
for each of the months and years from January, 1923, to December,
1929. The data as presented m all other tables of this report for
foundries and machine shops with the exception of Table 11 include
machine tools and steam fittings, etc. Since the data as published
by the bureau in monthly reports on “ Trend of employment” are
collected and compiled separately for machine tools and steam fittings,
etc., they are shown separately in this table. These numbers were
computed from the amount or volume of employment and the amount
of the pay rolls for each of the months and years as shown in this
table, with the 1926 average number of employees and the 1926
average amount of pay rolls taken as the base, or 100 per cent.
During the period January, 1923, to December, 1929, the monthly
volume of employment index in foundries and machine shops was
highest (120.5) in July, 1923, and lowest (85.9) in September, 1924,
and pay rolls were highest (118.8) in June, 1923, and lowest (77.5) in
September, 1924. Indexes by years were: Employment, 115.3 in
1923, 93 in 1924, 93.1 in 1925, 100 in 1926, 93.8 in 1927, 92.3 in 1928,
and 104.3 in 1929, and pay rolls were 110.7 in 1923, 87.2 in 1924,
90.6 in 1925, 100 in 1926, 92.4 in 1927,92.8 in 1928, and 108.1 in 1929.

IMPORTANCE OF FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS
The importance of this industry may be judged from the fact that
nearly all, if not all, other industries depend upon the products of
foundries and machine shops for tools and machinery to carry on their
business.
The figures shown in Table 11 were taken from the United States
census reports for years 1914,1919,1921,1923,1925, and 1927. These
figures are shown under six different headings: Foundries and machine
shops; engines, steam, gas, and water; machine tools; pumps (hand
and power) and pumping equipment; steam fittings, etc.; and textile

machinery. While these articles are practically all produced in
foundries and machine shops, the different groups have grown to such
importance as to be treated separately by the census. Under these
six headings are shown for each of the six years the number of estab­
lishments, the cost of material, the value of products, the average
number of employees, the average number of wage earners, amounts
paid to wage earners, and the average per capita yearly earnings of
wage earners as computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

1Included in foundries and machine shops prior to 1919.

A comparison of the total figures for the six census years shows
that the number of employees for 1919 is greater than for either of
the other years, while the 1927 average per capita yearly earnings are
greater than for any other year. The conditions for the year 1919




44

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

were abnormal. The demands upon the industry caused by the World
War were still in effect and were largely responsible for the unusual
numbers of employees, the large number of establishments, the high
value of the products, and the large sum paid to wage earners. While
the figures for 1919 are abnormally high, those for 1921 are abnormally
low. A period of great depression in the industry followed the census
for 1919, and extended into the census for 1921. The figures for
1923 show that the industry had by that time recovered from the
slump of 1921, and had entered upon a period of development more
nearly approximating natural or normal growth in the industry than
is shown by the figures for either 1919 or 1921. The figures for 1925
and 1927, compared with those for 1923, show decreases in number
of establishments and of wage earners and in amount paid to wage
earners, and increases in the average per capita yearly earnings.
SCOPE AND METHOD
The figures presented in this bulletin are limited to wage earners and
cover all workers of this class, beginning with those who receive the
raw materials and supplies, including all who perform the various
operations of manufacture, and ending with those who pack or other­
wise prepare the product for shipment. Executive employees, clerks,
employees engaged in construction or repair of buildings, employees in
forge and boiler shops, and those whose duties were mamly supervisory
are excluded.
The 1929 study of the industry, like those of former years, covered a
representative group of establishments in each State where foundries
and machine shops are of material importance. On account of the
very large variety of products manufactured in machine shops, the
study was limited to those establishments in which the machinery
used was fairly comparable. The machine shops included in the
study are engaged in the machining and assembling of parts for and
the construction of engines; of textile, glass-blowing, flour-milling,
mining, laundry, woodworking, excavating, road-building, hoisting,
steel-mill and rolling-mill machinery; of ice, brick, rubber, shoe, and
sugar-making machinery; of cotton gins, elevators, conveyors, pumps,
pipe-line equipment, printing presses, valves and other machined
fittings for heating, steam and water systems; and also machine tools
(machines used in machine shops), etc. A number of machine shops
which were engaged in repair work are also included. While the
machines used in the establishments included in the study vary in
type and size with the product manufactured, the operations are
essentially the same. No machine shops were included whose
principal product was agricultural implements, automobiles or auto­
mobile parts, dynamos, motors, magnets, or other electrical units,
locomotive railroad cars or car wheels, cash registers, calculating
machines, typewriters, sewing machines, hardware, stoves, or stove
equipment.
The foundries included were mainly engaged in casting parts for
the same class of products as those made in the machine shops covered
in the study. In a lai'ge number of cases data were obtained from one
company or plant for both a foundry and a machine shop. No
forge or boiler shop was included if it was operated as a separate unit.




45

SCOPE AND METHOD

The 1929 study covered 399 foundries and 508 machine shops in 28
States. In selecting establishments from which to obtain data the
bureau undertook to represent all States in which the industry is of
material importance, the measure of importance being the number of
wage earners as reported by the United States Census of Manufactures.

The actual number of plants and of wage earners covered in both
foundries and machine shops in each State in 1929 is shown in Table
12. For comparison the figures as reported by the United States
Census of Manufactures for 1927, the latest year for which figures
are available, are also shown. The table shows that 96 per cent of
the wage earners employed in foundries and machine shops are located
in the 28 States covered by the bureau and that data for 23 per cent of
them are shown in this report.
The data included in the 1929 study were taken by agents of the
bureau for practically all establishments directly from the pay rolls,
time-clock cards, and other records of the establishments for a repre­
sentative pay period. A few establishments prepared data for the
bureau from their records. Data were taken for only part of the




46

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

total number of wage earners in a few very large establishments, as
the inclusion of all of them would have tended to impair the repre­
sentative averages for the States in which these establishments are
located. A very large per cent of the establishments included in the
report pays employees every week compared with a small per cent
that pays every two weeks or twice each month. Data for those
that pay every two weeks or half month were so taken as to make
it possible to present figures for one week for wage earners in all
establishments. Approximately 93 per cent of the 1929 data are
for a pay-roll period in June, July, August, or September. The aver­
ages, therefore, are fairly representative of wage conditions in those
months.
The average earnings per hour for employees in each occupation
were computed by dividing the total weekly earnings of all employees
in the occupation during the pay-roll period by the total hours worked
in one week by such employees.
The average full-time hours per week were computed by dividing
the total full-time hours per week of all employees in the occupation
by the number of employees in the occupation during the pay period
covered. The full-time hours of each employee were used in arriving
at this average, even though some employees worked more or less than
full time on account of entering or leaving the service during the pay
period, overtime, sickness, disability, or some other cause.
Average full-time earnings per week for employees of each occupa­
tion were computed by multiplying the average earnings per hour of
all employees in the occupation by the average full-time hours per
week. This assumes that the earnings for full time would have been
at the same average rate per hour as during the time that was actually
worked in the pay period covered.
GENERAL TABLES
In addition to the text tables already shown, five general tables,
which show the data in considerable detail, are presented as follows:
T a b l e A.—Average number of days on which employees worked,
average full-time and actual hours and earnings per week, average
earnings per hour, and per cent of full time worked, 1929, by occupa­
tion, sex, and State.
This table shows for each occupation and State all of the various
averages which have been computed from the data collected in 1929.
The presentation in this table in parallel columns of “ Average full­
time hours per week” and “ Average hours actually worked in one
week” is for the purpose of easy comparison of the average hours
actually worked in one week with the hours that would have been
worked in one week had all employees in the occupation worked no
more nor less than full time. One shows the average full-time hours
per week under normal conditions, while the other shows the average
hours actually worked in one week by all employees in the occupation.
Tables B, C, D, and E are distribution tables and are limited to
25 principal occupations—8 in foundries and 17 in machine shops.
T a b l e B.—Average and classified earnings per hour in 25 specified
occupations, 1929, by sex and State.

OCCUPATIONS
FOUNDRY

Chippers and rough grinders cut or chip projecting points, fins, or
lugs from castings, using hand hammer and cold chisel or pneumatic
chisel, and smooth the rough surface by means of a rough grinding
machine.
Core makers make cores of sand and a liquid binder and possibly
other substances, using a mold or core box to shape the cores. Cores
are used to make hollows in castings.
Crane operators use power cranes for moving heavy stock, machin­
ery, castings, ladles, molds, etc., about the foundry.
Cupola tenders are usually responsible for the charging and tend
the cupola in which pig iron, scrap, or steel is melted, tap or open the
cupola, and run the molten metal into ladles.
Laborers are unskilled employees who, in general, do work requir­
ing little experience wherever needed. They include the following
occupations: Annealing firemen, annealers, helpers, assorters (sepa­
rate castings), breakers (sprues), casting breakers, casting cutters,
casting wheelers or carriers, chain carriers, chainmen, chargers,
cleaners, churners, core carriers, core cleaners, core handlers, core
makers' helpers, core oven firemen, core oven men, core pasters, core
pilers, core wire cutters, cupola helpers, cupola laborers, dumpers,
gaggers, flaggers, flask carriers, flask cleaners, flask men, furnace
helpers, iron carriers, knockers-off, ladle cleaners, ladle pushers, metal
carriers, mill tenders (tumbler), molders ’ laborers, oven tenders’
helpers, packers (heat treating), pattern carriers, pattern cleaners,
picklers, pourers, rattler runners, rollers, sackers (castings), sand­
blast helpers, sand cleaners, sand cutters (hand), sand cutters' helpers
(machine), sandmen, sand mill operators, sand mixers, sand shovelers,
sand wheelers, sand testers, scrap breakers, shakers, shifters, slag
breakers, stockers, truckers, tumblers, unloaders, washers, wire
cutters, and yardmen.
Molders make the molds for castings and often pour molten metal
from ladles into the molds. The molds are hollow impressions made
in sand or loam by packing such sand around patterns and cores.
The molder then removes the pattern and the sand retains its hollow
shape without the support of the pattern. The molds are made in
boxes or flasks. Cores are placed in the molds by the molders when
hollow castings are to be made. Figures are shown in this report for
three classes of molders, namely:
Molders, hand, bench, work at a bench making small-sized molds
by hand.




149

150

WAGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

Molders, hand, floor, make by hand on the floor of the foundry molds
that are too large to be made at a bench and are not readily adaptable
to machine molding.
Molders, machine, use machines in making molds.
Molders’ helpers, floor, assist floor molders (hand) in making molds.
Pattern makers make wood or metal patterns, which are models for
making castings.
Rough carpenters make wooden flasks for molds and do general rough
repair work or assist pattern makers.
Sand blasters use a sand-blast apparatus to clean the sand and scale
from the surface of castings.
Other employees include all other skilled or semiskilled workers not
properly included in any occupation above, such as acetylene welders,
air-compressor operators, all-round men, annealers, apprentices,

MACHINE SHOP

Assemblers bring together the various small parts, pieces, or units
of which a machine or engine consists and fasten them together with
bolts and nuts, screws, rivets, etc., thereby forming larger units or a
complete final unit. The distinction between assemblers and fitters
is that the assemblers do little or no filing, scraping, or other fitting.
Blacksmiths are skilled workers who make light and medium-sized
forgings, dress tools, and do general anvil work, using forge, anvil,
and hammer. Often they are required to harden hand and machine
tool bits by heating in the forge and quenching in oil, water, or other
liquid.
Blacksmiths' helpers are persons of some degree of skill who assist
blacksmiths and tool dressers in their work.
Boring-mill operators operate vertical machines known as boring
mills, horizontal boring machines, nonautomatic bullards, and
hole-hog machines.
Crane operators run overhead traveling cranes, boom power cranes,
or locomotive cranes to move heavy stock, machinery, or products.
Drill-press operators operate radial, multiple, spindle, gang, or
automatic drill presses.




DESCRIPTION OF FOUNDRY AND MACHINE-SHOP OCCUPATIONS

151

Fitters and bench hands.—Fitters do necessary chipping, filing,
scraping, reaming, and fitting of machine parts to give them proper
relation to each other and allow for correct mechanical adjustment in
connection with fitting such parts together. Bench hands work at a
bench performing similar work on parts to make them of proper shape
and measurement, but do not usually assemble the parts. The
group includes workers who perform both fitting and assembling.
Grinding-machine operators operate the many designs of grinding
machines which are usually known by the particular sort of grinding
which they are designed to do, as surface, external, internal, rough,
plain, tool, universal, cutter, etc. The group includes lappingmachine operators.
Hammersmiths set up dies and operate steam or Bradley hammers to
make forgings and are capable of shaping the forgings without the
aid of dies. The group includes drop forgers and trip hammermen.
Helpers, not otherwise specified, are certain workers who exercise
some degree of skill in assisting workers engaged in the more highly
skilled occupations, such as assemblers’ helpers, babbitters’ helpers,
boiler makers’ helpers, bricklayers’ helpers, buffers’ helpers, carpen­
ters’ helpers, chain makers’ helpers, coppersmiths’ helpers, drill-press
operators’ helpers, electricians’ helpers, enamelers’ helpers, erectors’
helpers, fitters’ helpers, fianger helpers, gear-cutter operators’ helpers,
inspectors’ helpers, ironworkers’ helpers, layout men’s helpers, machine-tool operators’ helpers, millwrights’ helpers, pattern makers’
helpers, pipe fitters’ helpers, planer-operators’ helpers, plumbers’
helpers, riggers’ helpers, roll turners’ helpers, sheet-metal workers’
helpers, steamfitters’ helpers, and tinners’ helpers.
Laborers are unskilled employees who in general do work requiring
little experience wherever needed about the machine shop and yard.
They include the following occupations: Carriers, casting cleaners,
chippers (chip pullers), furnace-tenders’ helpers, heat-treaters’ helpers,
loaders, machine rubbers, machine-shop and maintenance labor, oil
extractors, packers for case hardening, painters’ helpers, pattern tend­
ers’ helpers, picklers, plating-room and receiving labor, roustabouts,
sand blasters, scrap wheelers, shipping labor, stock men, stock keepers’
helpers, stock pilers, stock-room and storeroom labor, sweepers, test­
ers’ helpers, tool-crib and tool-room helpers, truckers (not electric),
tumbler operators, warehouse labor, wheelers, window washers, yard
labor, and any other general or common labor.
Lathe operators, engine, operate lead screw, low swing, cam and tool
(engine) lathes, including roll-turning lathes.
Lathe operators, turret, are operators of chucking lathes and all
other turret lathes, such as monitors, Gisholts, Jones and Lamson (J.
& L.), American, Libbys, etc.
Machinists are persons who (a) repair or adjust one or more kinds of
machines used in a machine shop; (b) set one or more kinds of auto­
matic or semiautomatic machines without operating them; (c) set
up and operate most of the kinds of machines usually found in ma­
chine shops. Each of these three groups may also do bench wrork
or fitting. A man may have been qualified as an all-round machinist,
but if he was actually employed as a machine operator during the
pay period taken he is so classified in this study, while if required to
operate various tools he is classified as a ‘‘ machinist.” In highly
specialized shops few employees were found who could be properly




152

W AGES AND HOURS— FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS

classed as machinists. A man who both set up and operated one
machine only, or a man who operated one or even several machines
but did not also set them up, was classed as a machine operator.
Includes machine tool repair men, machine setters and those actually
working as all-round machinists.
Machinists’ and tool makers’ helpers are persons with some degree of
skill who assist machinists and toolmakers in their work.
#Milling-machine operators operate plain, universal, horizontal, ver­
tical, cam, hand, automatic, keyway, and thread mills, profilers, and
any other milling machines not specified.
Packers and craters wrap, pack, and crate materials for shipment.
They do not as a rule make the boxes or crates used in the process,
but often assemble the parts of the box or crate about the article
or object to be shipped.
Pattern makers make wood or metal patterns. These models are
sent to a foundry where they are used as forms to shape the castings.
Planer operators operate all types of planers, except milling planers
(milling-machine operators) and shapers (other precision-machine
operators).
Polishers and buffers use grinding wheels to polish metals that are to
be plated and buffing wheels to buff the plated parts.
Screw-machine operators, hand, operate hand screw machines and
are required to set the tools, chuck the work, and attend each oper­
ation, stopping the machine when the operation is completed.
Screw-machine operators, semiautomatic, usually chuck each individ­
ual piece of stock and start the machine. The cutting tools and
other mechanism are usually properly adjusted by a machine setter.
Several of these machines may be run simultaneously by the same
operator. Once started the machine completes an operation and
stops automatically.
Screw-machine operators, automatic, operate full automatic screw
machines, which ordinarily use bar stock and machine a large number
of small pieces without attention, and automatic lathes which ordi­
narily perform multiple operations on individual pieces of stock.
These machines, like the semiautomatic screw machines, are adjusted
by a machine setter.
Sheet-metal machine operators rim various sheet-metal machines
such as bending, breaking, crimping, flanging, rolling machines, square
and round shears, and punch presses.
Toolmakers are skilled workers who make and repair cutting tools
such as reamers, milling cutters, twist drills, boring tools, facers,
also dies, jigs, gauges, and other things of like nature. In shops
where the operations in the tool room are not specialized the tool­
makers operate various machines. In specialized shops some opera­
tions are performed by machine operators who are not classified as
toolmakers but rather as milling-machine operators, lathe operators, etc.
Other precision-machine operators.are skilled workers who operate
broachers, bolt cutters, burring and centering machines, gear cutters
and gear generators, hobbers, keyseaters, pointing machines, shapers,
slotters, special and single purpose lathes (except roll turners) such
as facing, pulley, speed, spinning, and wristing lathes, tapping
machines, threaders, trimming machines, and other precision ma­
chines not elsewhere specified.
