As shown by Table 2, the average full-time earnings per week of male employees in the principal occupations in 1924 varied from $15.02 for doffers to $42.63 for loom fi.'{ers. For females the averages varied from $15.15 for doffers to $31.98 for weavers. The classification by full-time hours shows that from 1910 to 1920 there was a steady decrease, and that from 1920 to date a very high percentage of the employees worked a 48-hour week. A careful study of thls table shows the trend of hours and earnings from year to year. Table 2 shows the average earnings per hour each year back to 1910 for most of the leading occupations of the industry. Many readers may desire, however, to know the distribution of the employees entering into the average for each year according to their mdividual hourlv earnings. Sucli a tabulation has been made for four of the princiJ>al occupation groups-male mule spinners, female frame spinners, male weavers, and female weavers-and is here presented in Table 3. The increase or decrease of hourly averages is reflected in the movement of percentages up or down i~ the classification groups. Thus, the largest per cent of mule spinners in 1922 appears under the "60 and under 70" group, with the avera?.e at 67 cents. In 1924 the largest per cent appears under the group '70 and under 80" and the average was 75½ cents. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis TABLE 3.-AVE RAGE AND CLASSIFIED EARNINGS PER HOUR FOR SPINNERS AND WEAVERS IN SPECIFIED YEARS, 1910TO 19'4 .

These index numbers, which are shown in Table 4, are j:llomputed from the averages shown in Table 2. They are percent.ages in which the averages for 1913 are used as the basei or 100 per cent. The index number for each year preceding and sut>sequent to 1913 is the per cent that the average for that year is of the 1913 average. The year 1913 is used as the base because it represents the period immediately preceding the World War. . The table of index numbers for the industry (Table 1), which includes all wage workers, shows that hourly earnings for 1924 are more than three times as great as in 1913 and slightly more than 12 per cent higher than in 1922. However, they show about 15 per cent lower L1an in 19201 which is the year of the wage peak. Full-time hours in 1924 as compared with 1913 are 12 per cent less, a.pd about 1 per cent greater than in 1922. While hourly earnings ~how an increase of 201 :rer cent over 1913, full-time weekly e ~ are only 162 per cent higher. This difference is caused by tlie reduction of full-time hours per week.

A table of such data has been made for four. major groups of employees-mule spinners, female frame spinners, male weavers, and female weavers. The figures for these occupation gi:oups may be accepted as. fairly representative for all employees. This table • shows that 46 mills employed mule spinners. Of this number, 35 were running 6 days of the _I>__ay period studied, 5 ran 5 days, 4 ran 4 days, and 2 ran 3 days. Weighting the days of operation in each mill by the number of employees, the mills averaged 5.4 days in operation. The employees averaged 5 days of work per week, making a loss of 0.4 of a day, due to the many causes that may keep em:r;>loyees from working. Out of the 1,286 employees in this occupation 700 worked 6 days~ 213 worked 5 days, etc, One week only was studied for spinners, out for weavers a two-week period was studied. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis TABLE S~AVERAGE AND CLASSIFIED DAYS OF WORK FOR SPINNJi;RS AND WEAVERS, 1924 ONE-WEEK PERIOD Average Number of establishments in which days of work Average Number of employees who in 1 'lh~k worked in occupation in 1 week werespecified number of days number of number of days Number of days of Number of worked establishwork in by employees employees ments oc~upatlon tn pay 2 3 In pay 1 2 4 1 5 6 6 6 3 period period Occupation and sex I ' Spinners, mule: Male ..•...••••••••••••• Spinners, frame: Female...•••••••••••••• 46 6.4 13 5.2 -------- -------- 2 -------- -----·-- -------- --- --- --- - - - 4 5 35 3 3 7 11,286 5. 0 · 18 · 1,059 5.0 7 1 64 167 124 213 700 6 16 274 300 456 TWO-WEEK PERIOD Oecupation and sex Number of establishments in Average Average whichdaysolworkinoccunumber number of pation in 2 weeks wereof days Number days of Number worked of estab- work in olembyemployees ployees lishments occupation in pay 11 12 9 10 in pay 6 7 8 period period Number al employees who in 2 weeks worked specified number ol days 1 2 https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 1 Not 68 67 10.8 11.1 2 2 1 1 6 6 1 1 17 16 3 3 38 38 including 2 employees having a 2-week pay period. 5,726 3,713 9.4 9.9 1 4 6 6 7 8 9 10 11 324 153 203 89 488 400 416 280 990 503 383 2, 153 22411, 729 12 -- - - - - - Weavers: Male •••••••••••••••••• Female •••••••••••••••• 3 42 ,. 100 22 42 171 93 221 94 234 183 Not including 47 employees having a 2-week pay period. 14 WAGES AND HOtraS 011' LABOR-WOOLEN AND WORSTED GOODS SUMMARY OF HOURS AND EARNINGS Table 9, which follows, shows a summary of establishments and employees grouped by length of pay period and by States. Schedrifos were obtained from 70 establishments with a one-week pay period, for all occupations except weavers, and from 69 establishments with a two-week pay period, 2 of these establishments being for all occupations and 67 for weavers only. Average full-time hours and earnings, average hours actually worked, and amounts earned J>er week are shown for each group. The percentage of full time worked by these groups is also shown. The employees in the one-week pay period wor}ied 87 per cent of full time and those in the two-week period worked 82 per cent of full time. The average hourly earnings of the one-week group was 49.2 cents, while the two-week group earned 65.9 cents per hour. This difference in earnings is largely accountep. for by the fact that all of the weavers, a highly paid occupation; are included in the two-week group. 9.-AVERAGE FULL-TIME AND ACTUAL HOURS WORKED, AVERAGE EARN'?

The number of wage earners for which the bureau obtained 1924 data and for which detailed information is ptesented in this report is nearly 26 per cent of the total in the industry in 1921, the year to which the census figures apply. Full-time hours per week are the regular hours during which under normal conditions employees in an occupation are on duty. Fulltime hours do not in any way indicate the extent 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 the full-tune hours as here presented. The earnings per hour appearing in the tables include the wages of time workers and the earnmgs of piece workers, and are obtained by dividing the total earnings for the pay period by the total number of hours worked. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 16 WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR-WOOLEN AND WORSTED GOODS'. Where no record was r~arly kept of the actual time workedi by piece workers, the establislunents at the request of the bureau kElpt _ a record for the pay. period selected. The full-time weekly earnings are the- earnings of employees working full time, or the earnings on broken time reduced to equivalent earnings for a full week. The average actual earnings of emJ?loyees during_one pay period are shown in Table B, in comparison with average full-time earnings. In this table low actual earmngs may be due either to a low rate or to broken time. · 1 · The averages of full-time hours per week and actual e ~ are computed by - adding the data for each employee and dividing by the number of employees. · The average full-tune weekly ea!"Ilings, that is the hypothetical ~arn~, if all employees workoo full time, are obtained py multiply.: ing the. average eammgs per hour by the average full-tune hours. Descriptions of all the o:perations in a representative woolen and worsted mill may be found m Bulletin No. 238 of this bureau. ., Figures relating to wages and hours are shown separately for 28 · of the more important occupations. Males and females are tabulated separately in. e~h occupation. Of the 28 occupations tabulated,·data are shown for males alone in 12 occupations, for females alone in 5 occupations, and for both males and females in 11 occupations. The occupations are arranged in the order of manufacture as follows: Wool sorters. Wool washer tenders. Picker tenders. Card tenders. Card strippers. Card grinders. Gill box· tenders. Comber tenders. Drawing frame tenders. Spinners, mule. Spinners, frame. Doffers. Twister. tenders. Spooler tenders. Dresser tenders. Creelers or tiers-in. Drawers-in .. Loom fixers. Weavers. Cloth inspectors. Burlers. Menders. Perchers. Fullers. Washer tenders, cloth. Dryer tenders, cloth. Truckers. Laborers, dyehouse. All employees not included in the above-named occupations are . combined and shown under "other employees." "GENERAL. TABLES In addition· to the text tables already shown, five genera.I tables ar«u>resented, as follows: . . TABLE: A.-Average hours and earnings and classified full-time · . hours per week, by occupation, sex, and State, 1924. TABLE B.-Averag_e actual and full-time hours and earnings, by occupatio~ sex, and State, 1924. Tliis tabie is shown for a one-:week pay period for all occupations except weavers, which are show.n for two weeks. The average number of calendar days worked by each mill is weighted by the number of' employees in the occupation considered; thus, the fulures in effect represent the average number _of ~ys of work afforded the employees _of the occupation. Another column shows the number of calendar https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis GENERAL TABLES 17 days at-tually worked by the eml!loyees, which, because of time lost, by employees, generally falls short of the average days of the establishment. TABLE C.-Average and classified earnings per hour for spinners and weavers,· by sex, and State1 1924. In this table the aver~e earnmgs for e~h employee were obtained by dividing the earnings m the pay period by the hours worked, and in like manner the average earnings for the occupation were obtained by dividing the aggregate earnings in the· pay period by the aggregate hours worked by a.11 employees of the occupation. TABLE D.-Average and classified hours actually worked in one p!:.v period by spinners and weavers who worked on as many days as ~there was work in the occupation, by occupation, sex, and State, 1924. 'rhis table shows the entire number of employees canvassed in the occupations included in the table and their average full-time hours. Several of the mills, however, did not work full time and many employets did not work on as many calendar days as the mills were open '!or work. One column of the table shows the number of employees who worked on all of the calendar days the mill afforded them work, and a parallel column shows the average hours that were worked in the pay period by these employees. Iri addition the table shows a classification of the employees who worked on as many calendar days as the mills operated, according to the hours such employees actua.lly worked. . No doubt some employees who worked on as many calendar days as the mills were operated did not work as many hours on such days as opportunity was afforded. If an employee lost part of a day when the mill was running, it may have been because no work was available for him or because he did not care to work, therefore, the hours actually worked by employees who worked on every calendar day possible may to some extent fa.11 short of the full opportunity for work. However, even with this uncertainty, the table is much more ~i:ficant than a table of hours worked without any consideration of days or hours lost by absence when the mills were open for work. TABLE E.-Average and classified earnings actually made in one pay period by spinners and weavers who worked on as many days as there was work in the occupation, by occupation, sex, and State, 1924.
