INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
This bulletin presents for the year 1923 average wage rates, earnings,
and hours of labor for the principal departments and occupations in tne
slaughtering and meat-packing industry in the United States, together
with summary figures of like character for the years 1917 and 1921.
The figures were computed from data taken by agents of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics directly from the pay rolls or other records of
representative establishments each year. The figures for 1917 and
1921 in this report were drawn from Bulletins Nos. 252 and 294
published b y the bureau.
The 1917 data are for 55,089 males in 66 establishments and 6,582
females in 51 establishments for pay periods of varying dates in the
first half of the year, and thus represent the perioa oi the entrance
of the United States into the World War.
The 1921 data are for 30,075 males in 34 establishments and 3,334
females in 31 establishments for a pay period in April.
The 1923 data are for 45,083 males in 38 establishments and 6,112
females in 37 establishments. The figures from 35 establishments
are for a pay period in November and those from three establishments
for a pay period in December.
The average rate of wages per hour for all males in all occupations
and departments combined was $0,271 for 1917, $0,504 for 1921, and
$0,487 for 1923; and for females, $0,179 for 1917, $0,362 for 1921,
and $0,356 for 1923.
In 1917 the average rate of wages per hour for males, in the speci
fied occupations, ranged from $0,226 for laborers in the casing de
partment, to $0,600 for splitters in the cattle-killing department,
and for females ranged from $0,150 for kidney pullers, shavers,
singers, neck brushers, and spreaders in the hog-killing department
to $0,200 for stuffers in the sausage department. The average rate
of wages for laborers (male) in the casing department in 1921 was
$0,444 and in 1923 it was $0,409, compared with $0,226 in 1917; for
splitters (male) in the cattle-killing department in 1921 it was $0,855
and in 1923, $0,837, compared with $0,600 in 1917; for kidney pullers,
etc. (female), it was $0,336 in 1921, and $0,331 in 1923, compared with
$0,150 in 1917; and for stuffers (female) in the sausage department
in 1921 it was $0,400 and in 1923 $0,397, compared with $0,200 in
1917.

SL»ATJGHTERING AND MEAT-PACKING INDUSTRY
The average basic or regular full-time hours per week for all males
in all departments were 48.4 in 1921 and 52.2 in 1923; for females
48.3 in 1921 and 52.8 in 1923; and for males and females combined
48.4 in 1921 and 52.3 in 1923. These averages are shown at the end
of Table I, where it is also shown that the full-time hours of 90 per
cent of all employees covered in 1921 were 48 per week and that in
1923 the full-time hours of 57 per cent were 54 per week. The in
crease of hours in 1923 over 1921 is due to an increase from an 8hour day or 48-hour week to a 9-hour day or 54-hour week in a
majority of the plants covered in each of these years.
Table 1 shows for 1917 for each department and occupation the
number of establishments and employees and the average rate of
wages and earnings per hour. I t shows for 1921 and 1923, the num
ber of establishments and employees, average rate of wages and
earnings per hour, average full-time hours and rate per week, and
the per cent of employees at each classified group of mil-time hours
per week. Index numbers based on average rates of wages per hour,
with the 1917 average taken as the base, or 100 per cent, are also
presented in this table.
The average full-time rate per week for each occupation was com
puted b v multiplying the average rate of wages per hour for the occu
pation by the average full-time hours per week. This shows the
average amount that would be earned in one week should an employee
work full time at his occupation with no overtime work. As an
actual fact employees often work in more than one occupation during
a pay period and this is taken into consideration in the average
earnings per hour, which is obtained by dividing the total earnings
of employees at tneir regular occupation and at other work by the
total actual hours worked. Employees are tabulated under the
occupation at which they worked the most time during the pay
period covered.
The industry total at the end of the table shows that in 1923 the
full-time hours per week of less than 1 per cent of the 51,195 employees
were under 48, of 32 per cent were 48, of 1 per cent were over 48 and
under 54, of 57 per cent were 54, of 6 per cent were over 54 and under
60, of 3 per cent were 60, and that the full-time hours per week of
less than 1 per cent were over 60,

SLAUGHTERING AND MEAT-PACKING INDUSTRY
Distinction is made between the average rate of wages per hour
and the average earnings per hour.
•
The average rate of wages per hour was computed by dividing the
sum of the rates of wages per hour for all employees in the occupation
by the number of employees. Equivalent rates of wages per hour
for pieceworkers were computed for each employee by dividing the
earnings at the occupation by the hours actually worked at the
occupation. Rates o f wages per hour for employees who were paid
weekly rates were computed for e&ch employee by dividing the
weekly rate by the basic or regular hours per week.
The average earnings per hour were computed by dividing the
sum of the earnings in one week of all employees in the group by
the total hours actually worked during the week. Average earnings
per hour for an occupational group may be more or less than the
average rate of wages per hour. . This is due to the fact that—
(a)
Some employees in the occupation worked overtime, for
which they were paid one and one-half times the basic or regular rate.
(&) Some employees in the occupation worked less than the
“ guaranteed hours of p ay” per week, but were paid the guaranty.
(c) Some employees in the occupation worked part of their time
at another occupation, the rate of pay for that work being more or
less than the rate of pay per hour for work at their regular occupation.
(d) Some employees, m addition to their own work, did the work
of absent employees for which they were paid in addition to their
own regular wages or earnings.
The average full-time hours per week were computed by dividing
the sum of the basic or regular hours per week oi all employees in
the occupation by the number of employees in the occupation. For
definition of “ basic, or regular full-time hours,” see explanation on
page 28.
The 1923 data used in compiling this report were obtained from 22
of the most important plants of the four large packing companies
and from 16 plants of other companies. The bureau here expresses
its appreciation of the cooperation and courtesy extended by all of
these companies. The plants scheduled are located in the most
important meat-packing centers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New
York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. The
wage-earners in these States represent approximately 86 per cent of the
number in the industry in 1919. The number covered in the 1923
study is approximately 32 per cent of the total number employed
in the industry in 1919, ana 36 per cent of the total number in the
specified States.
IM PORTANCE OF TH E INDUSTRY
According to the Census report, this industry is, in value of products
the largest in the United States, the value of products in 1919, being
$4,246,290,614. Consumers of cattle, hog, sheep, and calf products
living in the large cities and great industrial centers are entirely
dependent, and many of those living in the rural districts are to a
very great extent dependent, upon the large packing companies for
meat and meat food products. The large companies have at all
times great quantities of fresh and cured meats and other meat
IM PORTANCE OF T H E IN D U STR Y

food supplies in storage at the plants in which the animals are slaugh
tered, and in which the meat and by-products are cured and prepared
for food. They also have large branch storage houses in large and
small cities throughout the country, always well supplied to meet
the demands of the local retail market. Kefrigerator ears, owned,
operated, and repaired by the packing companies have regular
routes, delivering to branch storage houses or to retailers in towns
and villages in which there is no storage.
Inspection of animals, carcasses, meats, etc., is made by employees
of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture
in all establishments for which data are shown in this report. This
inspection is made to protect the public from diseased, unclean, or
unwholesome meat and meat food products. A full description of
such inspection appears in Bulletin 252, page 64.
The figures in Table 2 are compiled from the United States census
reports. They show the importance of the industry and its growth
during the 20-year period ending with 1919:

DEPARTMENTS INCLUDED IN STUDY
The work in this industry begins with live cattle, hogs, sheep,
lambs, and calves and ends only when every process necessary to
convert the animals into the various meat products and by-products
have been completed. The work varies so that it is necessary that
hours, wages and earnings be shown separately by department and
by occupation. Figures are shown for 13 departments: Cattle
killing, hog-killing, sheep-killing and calf-killing, offal, hide, casing,
cutting or fresh beef, cutting or fresh pork, lard and oleo oil, sausage,
cured meat, canning, and maintenance and repair. Data were not
taken for officials, clerks, salesmen, power-house employees, foremen,
employees of box factories, brush, cooper, tin, or other shops in which
products are entirely new, repair work, nor for employees of butterine,
mincemeat, produce, extract, soap, curled hair, "wool, bone and
fertilizer departments.
The departments and occupations are described in Bulletin 252,
pages 1075 to 1114.
Table 3 shows the number of males and of females in each depart
ment of the industry in each of the years, 1917, 1921, and 1923 in
the plants covered. The 1917 figures are for a total of 66 establish
ments, the 1921 for 34, and the 1923 for 38 establishments.
A ll departments are not found in every establishment, nor are
both sexes; as will be seen in reading the figures in this table in
connection with the figures in Table 1, pages 3 to 23, which, for
example, show that 3,292 males in the cattle-killing department in
1917 were in 54 establishments, and that 16 females were in 3 estab
lishments, and, further, that 55,089 males were employed in all
departments in 1917 in 66 establishments and the 6,582 females
were employed in 51 establishments.

BASIC OR REGULAR FULL-TIME HOURS PER WEEK
The basic or regular full-time hours of an establishment are the
hours of operation when the establishment is working its recognized
standard of full time; in other words, the time between the usual
time of beginning work in the morning and closing in the afternoon
less the regular time off duty for the midday lunch or dinner.
Full-time hours per week as presented in the tables of this report
do not in any w a y indicate the amount of employment or the amount
of .unemployment during the pay-roll period covered. Some em
ployees of an occupation may have worked more than full-time due
to overtime, while others may have worked less than full-time on
account of having been sick, disabled, or laid off part time, or of
having been in service less than full-time on account of termination
.of service before the end of the pay-roll period cohered, or of having
entered service after the beginning of the period.
Average full-time hours per week ana average hours actually
worked in one week as of 1923 are shown in parallel columns in Table
A, pages 33 to 93. The average in one column shows the basic or
regular hours of work, while the average in the other column shows
what was actually done. The full-time hours per week of employees
in all departments except maintenance and repair were 48 in 15 of
the 38 establishments, 50 in 1 establishment, 53 for males and 50
for females in 1 establishment, 54 in 16 establishments, 55 in 2
establishments, and 60 in 3 establishments. The full-time hours
of the maintenance and repair department frequently differed from
those of other departments, being 48 in a great majority o f the
38 establishments covered in 1923.
Table A also shows for 1923 the number of employees in each
occupation within each specified group of basic or regular full-time
hours per week.
WAGE REDUCTIONS AND INCREASES, 1921-1923
Between April 1, 1921, and the winter of 1923 there was a general
reduction of wages followed later by an increase. Practically all
plants that were covered in 1923, had reduced the wages of employees
who were paid hourly rates and piece rates. Those paid weekly
rates were not reduced. The reduction varied in amount. A feiv
made a straight reduction of 5, 10, or 13 per cent, while approxi
mately 20 plants, employing a very great majority of the employees
covered in this study, reduced skilled labor 3 cents per hour, semi
skilled 5 cents per hour, unskilled labor
cents per hour, and
piece rates 8 per cent. These reductions were followed by increases.
Establishments that made percentage reductions made increases
restoring the April, 1921, rates, while the establishments that cut
hourly rates made an increase of 3 cents per hour in rates of skilled
labor, 4 cents per hour of semiskilled, ana an increase of 5 cents per
hour in rates of unskilled labor. The net result is a reduction in
1923 as compared with 1921 in the industry as a whole. The figures
for the 13 departments show an average wage-rate reduction in each
department. A study of the occupational figures in Table I shows
a reduction in the great majority of the occupations.

GUARANTEED HOURS, AND PAY FOR OVERTIME
Guaranteed hours o f pay per week.— Twenty-six of the 38 establish
ments promise or assure certain, or all, of their employees that
payment will be made for a specified or stated number of hours per
week. This is called guaranteed hours of pay, and payment there
fore is made at base or regular rate whenever the hours of operation
in any week are less than guaranteed hours. In order to be entitled
to pay for the guaranty it is necessary for employees to be on duty
each day of the week so many of the basic or regular hours as the
estabhshment may be in operation.
Overtime.— An y time worked in excess of basic or regular hours on
week days is overtime, and is paid for at one and one-half times base
or regular rate by all establishments except seven. Thus, an em
ployee whose base or regular rate is 50 cents per hour is paid 75 cents
per hour for overtime.
Work on Sundays or holidays.— Work on Sundays is limited to a
very small percentage of employees of an establishment, and usually
only to a few in the maintenance and repair department. W ork on
holidays is not frequent. This work is paid for at double the base
or regular rate by about 70 per cent of the 38 establishments.
DAYS OF OPERATION AND DAYS WORKED BY EMPLOYEES
Table 4 shows for 24 representative occupations for males and 7
for females selected from nine departments, average and specified
number of days of work in the occupation and number of days
worked by all employees in the selected occupations in one week.
Any part of a calendar day on which a department was in operation
or an employee worked is counted a day.
The average number of days of work for occupations was obtained
by weighting the days of operation of each department by the num
ber of employees without regard to the days worked by individual
employees.
The average number of days worked by employees is a simple
average obtained by dividing the aggregate number of days worked
by all employees of the occupation by the total number of employees
in the occupation.
The average number of days of work in the occupation in one week
compared with the average number of days worked by employees
in one week is shown in parallel columns for all occupations by dis
tricts in Table A, pages 33 to 93. I t will be observed that the aver
age days worked by employees is greater in some cases than average
days of work in the occupation. For example, see laborers, shacklers, and stickers, hog-killing department, district 4. Some of the
employees of this department, however, worked in other departments
during the time the hog-killing department was not in operation.
This accounts for some employees working on more days than the
number of days of operation.

GENERAL TABLES
In addition to the text tables already shown, four general tables
are presented.
In these tables segregation of information is made by district as
follows:
District 1.— Chicago.
District 2.— Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis, East St. Louis, and
St. Joseph.
District 3.— Austin (Minnesota), Cedar Rapids, Milwaukee, Ot
tumwa, and South St. Paul.
District 4.— Oklahoma City and Fort Worth.
District 5.— Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis,
and Pittsburgh.
District 6.— Boston, New York, and Philadelphia.
The above classifications applied in 1917 and 1921, but included a
few more localities in 1917 ana four less in 1921.
T able A .— This table shows for 1923 for each occupation in each
department and district the number of establishments and employees,
average number of days of work by departments and average number
of days worked by employees, average full-time hours per week and
average hours actually worked in one week, number of employees in
each group of classified full-time hours per week, average rate of
wages and earnings per hour, average earnings made in one week, and
average full-time rate per week.
T able B.— Average and classified rates of wages per hour, for
employees in 31 selected occupations, by department, sex, and dis
trict, 1923.
T able C.— Number of employees in 31 selected occupations work
ing on all days the department was in operation in one week classified
by hours actually worked, b y sex and by district, 1923.
T able D.— Number of employees in 31 selected occupations work
ing on as many days as the department was in operation in one week
classified by earnings actually received, by sex and by district, 1923.
In addition to the classification stated Table C shows the average
hours actually worked, and Table D the average earnings actually
received, by such employees as worked on as many days as there
were days of operation by the department or opportunity for work
in the occupation in the week covered.
A ll employees who worked on fewer days than the department was
in operation were exoluded from the average and classified hours
actually worked and average and classified earnings actually received,
because it is the purpose m Tables C and D to show as nearly as
possible the hours and earnings actually made by employees who
worked all the time that there was opportunity to work, ana to com
pare therewith the average hours ana earnings that would have been
made had each employee worked the regular or customary full-time
hours per week.
Some employees worked less than the number of days the depart
ment was m operation (days on which there was opportunity to
work) on account of being sick, disabled, laid off, absent of own
accord, termination of service before end of week, or entering service
after beginning of week.
