U. S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICSNo. 476 WASHINGTON F e b r u a r y , 1929

UNION SCALES OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1927-1928: SUPPLEMENT TO BULLETIN NO. 457

INTRODUCTION

This report is designed to cover wages and hours of labor in union trades and occupations not shown in the bureau’s previous union wage scales bulletins which have included only those trades which are found chiefly in the larger cities and which readily lend themselves to a fixed form of tabulation.

The information shown in the present report was gathered mainly by correspondence with the national or international unions, although some personal visits were made in certain cases, generally to secure data for the larger organizations most of whose members are employed on piecework. While for various reasons no data have been obtained from many of the organizations, it is hoped that in future bulletins the bureau may be able to publish a larger and more nearly complete compilation.

In general, the same industry grouping has been followed here as was used in the Handbook of American Trade-Unions (Bui. No. 420). The building-trades group has been omitted entirely because these workers are covered quite fully in the regular union wage bulletins. In other groups many trades or occupations are omitted for the same reason, as for. instance, the printing and bookbinding trades in the paper and printing group.

In some cases the international union was able to supply a scale of rates applicable to a large percentage of its members. In other cases average rates were furnished, but many organizations furnished only one or two agreements regarded as being typical of rates in the trade.

Under the 15 general groups given, data are shown for 63 organizations. These organizations represent a membership of approximately 2,000,000 workers. While these wage figures do not pretend fully to represent wages for this number of wage earners the presentation will, it is felt, supply, to the best of the bureau’s limited facilities for such work, valuable wage data for which considerable demand has been made in the past.

The dates covered by the agreements vary. While the requests of the bureau were addressed to organizations in the latter part of 1927, and replies were received at various times up to the first of the calendar year 1928, it should be a fair assumption that the data given quite adequately represent wage rates for at least the early months of 1928. Since many agreements remain in effect over a period of several years it is likely that many of these shown are still in effect at the present time. However, should succeeding reports of a similar character be made by the bureau, it is planned to obtain the data as of May 15, which is the date of the regular union wage reports.

METALS AND MACHINERY INDUSTRIES

In the industries forming the “ metals and machinery group/1 representative wage scales were obtained from the United Automobile, Aircraft, and Vehicle Workers of America; International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers, and Helpers; International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers, Iron Shipbuilders and Helpers of America; International Brotherhood of Foundry Employees; International Association of Machinists; Pattern Makers’ League of North America; M etal Polishers’ International Union; and Stove Mounters’ International Union. The rates of wages and hours established by these agreements are given in Table 1, below:T a b l e 1 .—UN IO N SC A L E S OF W A G ES AND H O U R S AS E S T A B L IS H E D B Y R E P R E S E N T

If a second or third shift is established for not less than 30 days, employees working on such shifts receive compensation of 10 cents per hour in advance of same class of employees working on first or day shift. Eight hours constitute a day's wrork; 48 hours, a week’s wrork. All overtime and work performed on Sundays or holidays is paid for at double the regular rate.

TRANSPORTATION— RAILROADS 7

In the case of conductors and trainmen in passenger service, the daily rate is computed from an average run of 150 miles. Thus, a conductor would receive one hundred and fifty times the mile rate of 4.8 cents, or $7.20; this is his minimum daily rate, even though the run may be less than 150 miles. If his run exceeds 150 miles, he is paid the specified rate per mile for each mile of the run.

It is provided, however, that when the monthly earnings of regularly assigned passenger trainmen from daily guaranties, mileage, overtime and othar rules do not produce the following average amounts per day, they will be paid for each day service is performed:

Per dayConductors_______________________________________________$7. 50

In the freight service “ 100 miles or less, 8 hours or less (straightaway or turnaround” constitute a day's work, and all runs in excess of 100 miles are paid for at the regular mileage rate.

The provisions for overtime in the passenger service read as follows:(a) Trainmen on short turnaround passenger runs, no single trip of which ex

ceeds 80 miles, including suburban and branch line service, shall be paid overtime for all time actually on duty, or held for duty in excess of 8 hours (computed on each run from the time required to report for duty to the end of that run) within 10 consecutive hours; and also for all time in excess of 10 consecutive hours computed continuously from the time first required to report to the final release at the end of the last run. Time shall be counted as continuous service in all cases where the interval of release from duty at any point does not exceed one hour. This rule applies regardless of mileage made.

For calculating overtime under this rule the management may designate the initial trip.

(b) Trainmen on other passenger runs shall be paid overtime on a speed basis of 20 miles per hour computed continuously from the time required to report for duty until released at the end of last run. Overtime shall be computed on the basis of actual overtime worked or held for duty, except that when the minimum day is paid for the service performed overtime shall not accrue until the expiration of 7 hours and 30 minutes from time of first reporting for duty.

(c) Overtime in all passenger service shall be paid for on the minute basis at a rate per hour of not less than one-eighth of the daily rate herein provided.

In the freight service it is provided thatch) On runs of 100 miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of 8 hours;

on runs of over 100 miles overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12J^. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis, at a rate per hour of three-sixteenths of the daily rate.

(c) Road conductors and trainmen performing more than one class of road service in a day or trip will be paid for the entire service at the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed. The overtime basis for the rate paid will apply for the entire trip.

SLEEPING-CAR CONDUCTORS

The rates of pay of sleeping-car conductors are computed on the basis of 240 hours7 service per month. For overtime up to a total of 270 hours in a month the regular rate is paid; for all time over 270 hours the rate is time and a half. The hours of these employees are further regulated by Rule 5, wliich reads, “ not less than 96 hours off duty each month in 24-consecutive-hour periods or multiples thereof, will be allowed at designated hour terminals.”

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS AND FIREM EN

Data have been obtained concerning engineers and firemen on the eastern railroads, including, generally, those roads having headquarters east of Chicago and north of the Ohio River. These roads employ approximately 40,000 engineers. While rates for these occupations on roads vary slightly, the data shown may be taken as representative of the entire organization, which in this country and Canada includes nearly 100,000 engineers and more than the same number of firemen.

The minimum rate of pay for railroad engineers is the day rate shown in Table 4; the maximum rate if figured on the mileage basis, by multiplying the rate per mile by the number of miles of run. A fair average run in the passenger service is said to be about 150 miles and in the freight service 100 miles.

The rates are based, as is seen by reference to Table 4, upon the weight on the drivers. I t should be pointed out in this connection, however, that this weight is susceptible of variation by adjustment of the mechanism, so that the weight may be shifted forward to the engine’s trucks or backward to the engine’s trailers. A “ M allet” engine is a multiple engine used in mountain service.

MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY EMPLOYEES

Table 6 below shows the rates of the various classes of maintenance-of-way employees, as established by agreement. These data were supplied by the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees. The union states that practically all the men work eight hours per day. Overtime is paid for at the regular rate for the ninth and tenth hours, and at the rate of time and one-half thereafter.

Pumpers and crossing watchmen work 365 days in the year and their hours vary from 8 to 12 per day. These employees are paid on a monthly basis.

a Per month.RAILWAY SIGNALMEN

The statement below, furnished by the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen of America, shows the rates paid to railway signalmen on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. About 55 per cent of all the signalmen in the United States receive these same rates and the data shown are therefore representative to that extent. On the other railroads, with a few exceptions, the rates for this occupation are approximately 5 per cent lower than those given.

In this occupation the 8-hour day and 48-hour week prevail. Overtime and work on holidays is paid for at the rate of time and a half.

The data in the table below were furnished by the Order of Railroad Telegraphers and cover about 58,000 workers. The positions range from work where telegraphy is an incident to the job to positions requiring almost constant use of the key.

Rates of wages are found to vary greatly within the same occupation, due largely to the location of the station or the importance of position filled, and for this reason the rates shown in Table 8 are averages.

Telegraphers work an 8-hour day and a 48-hour week and are paid time and a half for overtime.

TRAIN DISPATCHERS

Train dispatchers generally work an 8-hour day and 48-hour week. The agreement usually provides that the chief dispatcher shall have one day off in each seven days. During his absence his position is filled by the extra or relief dispatcher, who receives the regular rate paid to the man relieved. The agreement furnished by the American Train Dispatchers’ Association covers employees of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Co. only. The secretary-treasurer of the union states, however, that the agreements may be considered representative of practically all roads in the United States, although there are slight differences from road to road.

Under the agreement with the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Co., chief and night chief dispatchers receive $11 per day, while trick, relief, and extra dispatchers receive $9.65 per day.

BITUMINOUS MINE WORKERS

Table 13, below, data for which were furnished by the United Mine Workers of America, shows the tonnage and day rates established by the so-called Jacksonville agreement for the Hocking district of Ohio.3

The Jacksonville agreement was in general effect in the union districts until April 1, 1927, when, owing to the inability of the operators and mine workers to agree on a new scale, a suspension occurred. No general settlements were effected until the latter part of 1928, when various large districts signed new agreements which provided for somewhat lower wage rates than those contained in the Jacksonville agreement. Some of these new scales were given in the Labor Review for October, 1928 (pp. 196-202).

MINE, MILL, AND SMELTER WORKERS

Agreements were not available showing general wage rates for mine, mill, and smelter workers. Wages w ere supplied by the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers for one Montana mine, however, and while these are not entirely representative because of the fact that “ the largest portion of the miners work under the contract system/’ they do serve to give some idea of wages and hours. These employees work an 8-hour day, and receive the following rates:

The agreement specifies that in mills using the Tremblay mixing system, the rate for beater engineers shall be two classes higher than the stipulated tonnage rate. In mills using over 50 per cent “ lap stock,” beater engineers receive 1 cent per hour over the schedule; in mills making manila or fiber papers from “ slush stock,” 2 cents per hour over the schedule; and in mills in which colored manila papers are made from “ lap stock,” 3 cents per hour over the schedule.

Table 19 shows the rates of machine hands in newsprint mills. As appears, the rate per hour increases with the speed and width of the machine. Thus, a machine tender on a machine 50 inches wide, running at a speed of 50 feet per minute, receives 76 cents per hour, while a machine tender on a machine 270 inches wide, running 1,600 feet per minute, receives a rate of $2.05 per hour.

Boss machine tenders or foremen on paper machines in newsprint mills receive 10 cents per hour per machine higher than the rate paid to the highest-paid machine tender on machines over 150 inches, and 5 cents per hour over the highest-paid machine tender on all machines under 150 inches. Thus, in a mill with four machines of which two are over 150 inches in width and two under 150 inches the boss machine tender’s rate would be 30 cents per hour more than the rate of the highest-paid machine tender.

Table 20 below shows the local wage rates established by agreement with specified mills for the various classes of paper and pulp mill work. The agreement covers members of the International Brotherhood of Paper Makers and of the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill Workers.

The employees generally work an 8-hour day and 48-hour week, except in a few cases, the principal exceptions being the bag-factory employees of the Advance Bag and Paper Co. and the Gilman Paper Co.; and the sweepers, utility men, and employees in the finishing, shipping, receiving, and machine departments of the latter company, all of whom work 9 hours per day and 50 hours per week; and all of the employees of Alfred Bleyer & Co., who work 4 6 ^ hours per week.

For overtime work, time and a half is paid in nearly all cases. In a very few instances the agreement fails to make any provision as regards rates for overtime.T a b l e 20 .—U N IO N SC A L E S OF W A G ES O F V A R IO U S O C C U PA TIO N S IN PA PER AND

The employers have the privilege of operating their plants 10 hours per day for 5 days of the week; or 9 hours per day for 5 days and 5 hours on Saturday. Overtime is paid for at the rate of time and one-half.

The minimum wage for journeyman cutters is $45.50 for a 44-hour week. All overtime or work performed on holidays is paid for at the rate of time and one-half.


CLOTHING INDUSTRYWOMEN’S AND CHILDREN’S HAT WORKERS

An agreement dated January 15, 1927, covering makers of women’s and children's hats in New York City, is indicative of the union rates of wages paid some thousands of workers making hats and caps for women and children. The rates quoted are the minimum time rates paid. Piece rates usually produce greater earnings and are built up on a slightly higher scale.

The agreement provides for a 53^-day, 44-hour week, with a further provision that should the 5-day, 40-hour week be established in the millinery trade during the life of the agreement, it shall be introduced into the shops. No more than eight hours’ overtime is permitted during the week and no more than two hours’ overtime in any one day. Overtime on Saturday may be permitted with the consent of the union when it is found to be absolutely necessary, but no work is permitted on Sunday. The agreement provides for seven paid holidays.

Under the agreement cutters, operators, and blockers are paid $1.24 per hour, or $55 per week; unskilled or minor operators 90 cents per hour, or $40 per week; and trimmers 75 cents per hour, or $33 per week.

WOMEN’S GARMENT WORKERS

Cloak makers.— An agreement of January 5, 1927, between the cloak manufacturers and the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union establishes union wage rates for the city of New York. This agreement covers several thousands of workers.

Under the terms of the agreement, no overtime is permitted between November 15 and December 31, nor between May 1 and July 15, nor at any other time unless an establishment operates at full capacity in all branches. When overtime is worked, it may not exceed 8 hours in any week nor 2 hours in any day and is restricted to the first 4 working days of the week. Six paid holidays are provided for and a half day on election day.

FOOD, LIQUOR, AND TOBACCO INDUSTRIES 8 9

At San Francisco, Calif., the brewery workers by agreement with brewery associations have established a minimum wage of $40 per week for all employees in breweries, malt house and sirup departments. They work an 8-hour day and 44-hour week. All overtime, or work performed on Saturday afternoons, Sundays, and holidays is paid for at the rate of time and one-half.

FISHERMEN

DEEP-SEA FISHING

Members of the Deep Sea Fishermen’s Union of the Pacific are employed on vessels engaged in deep-sea fishing only and not in fishing for canneries, which is of a seasonal character.

No hours are set by their agreement, and it is therefore fair to assume that the hours are largely dictated by necessity. Wages are paid on the pound basis, as follows: Halibut, 3^2 cents; black cod (sablefish), cents; and other acceptable varieties, 1 Y<i cents. When deckhands are not obtainable the fishermen agree to do the necessary deckhand’s work and receive therefor the deckhands’ wages.

The employer agrees that the fishermen shall be represented on the scales by one of their own members and that they shall receive their pay checks after vessels are in port 24 hours.

Halibut fishing.—A second agreement of the same organization, covering halibut fishing, covers all members of a crew except the captain or an employee who owns one-fourth or more of a vessel.

The fishermen agree to pay their share of grub, fuel oils, cylinder oils, cup greases, waste, ice, salt, and bait, and to keep the fishing gear in good order and to replace lost and condemned fishing gear. “ The share of the vessel shall be one-fifth of the gross stock except when gear is lost.”

The agreement provides that one fisherman approved by the captain shall attend the weighing of the fish and must, in the captain’s absence, assume all responsibility therefor. Settlement is made (in the port where the fish is sold) between the captain or his agent and the fishermen. After the bills are paid, back bills are to be paid as follows: When the share is $25 or less, nothing shall be taken out; when the share is over $25, one-half of the amount from $25 to the full share shall be taken out. If the captain desires to fit out on a cash basis, he shall be empowered to use the proceeds of the voyage for this purpose. When money from the stock is used for cash payments, the members of the crew shall receive their share of whatever discount may be allowed for such cash payments.

The agreement further provides that it is the duty of fishermen to discharge fish “ from tackle to scale,” head fish if required, to “ wash out fish holds and decks,” also keep living quarters sanitary.

SARDINE FISHING

An agreement furnished by the Monterey Fishermen’s Protective Union, whose members are engaged in sardine fishing, provides that from the total earnings of each boat a deduction shall be made of the expenses for gas and oil for the boat’s operation, also expenses for the car each day, and 50 cents per day shall be paid to each fisherman for each day he is called upon to nsh.



After the above deductions have been made, the boat owner is to receive four shares, and each fisherman one share. No fewer than 11 fishermen, including owner, are to be employed on each boat. The boat owner receives and is responsible for all moneys received from canners and must pay off the crew every 15 days.

SALMON FISHING

The agreement of the Union of Seamen, Fishermen, and Trapmen with the packers in the salmon industry is made a part of the shipping articles between the members signing and the packers or association of packers.

Wages and hours of employment vary with conditions, and the men may be called upon for “ work day or night (Sundays and holidays not excepted), according to the lawful orders of the captain/’ and for work on boats, lighters, vessels, in canneries, salteries, etc., but 48 hours constitute a week’s work before and after the fishing season. The beginning and ending of the fishing season is determined by the superintendent. Extra compensation is provided at 75 cents per hour for any man working more than 48 hours during any week or more than 11 hours in any 24, or on Sundays or holidays.

Other provisions of the agreement relating to gill-net fishermen include the following:

(a) Each gill-net fisherman shall receive in addition to the wages of $150 for the run and all other moneys earned under this agreement 20 cents for each king salmon weighing over 15 pounds (king salmon under 15 pounds to be accepted two for one), 4J/g cents for each red or coho salmon, 1J^ cents for each chum salmon, and % cent for each pink salmon caught and delivered to the (company).

All salmon must be in perfect condition, not discolored or mutilated when delivered, and must be discharged from boats at least once in 24 hours.

(b) The (company) is not compelled to take any chum or pink salmon, but if received they are to be paid for at above rates.

(c) The (company) reserves the right to limit each boat to not less than 1,200 salmon per day, such limit to commence at midnight following notification. Notification of limit to be given before 6 p. m. by hoisting a large red flag both at the cannery and at receiving lighters.

{d) When boats are on the limit they may make one or more deliveries between midnight and midnight, but all boats must be discharged clean at the receiving station in the presence'of the tallymen. Accurate account of all salmon discharged above limit to be kept by tallymen and such salmon shall be credited pro rata to all boats short of the limit, but in no event shall any boat be credited in excess of the limit except when detained as provided hereafter in this section. Any boat short of the limit is permitted to receive from any other boats sufficient salmon to fill the limit.

Any boat detained from delivering salmon at receiving station for more than5 hours after having there reported arrival shall be credited with 100 red salmon for each hour’s detention, but not more than 1,200 salmon, in addition to all salmon delivered on such day, shall be allowed for 24 hour’s detention. The same rule to apply when boats are on the limit. Boats must have nets cleared before arrival at receiving station.

(e) Fishing boats and crews ordered transferred to fish at another station than the one originally attached to shall be selected by lot.

(/) No fishing to be done on any fishing grounds closed by the United States Government.

(g) Fishermen and trapmen hired in Alaska shall commence work with the arrival of the first vessel carrying cannery crews and cease work with the departure of the last vessel of their stations, and shall each receive in place of run money the sum of $75 together with any other compensation provided for fishermen and trapmen in this agreement.

(h) Fishermen and trapmen hired in Alaska and not performing such work before and after the fishing season shall not receive said sum of $75. Such



money not paid to be distributed to needy fishermen or their dependents, or as a majority of the fishermen at the station may direct.

(i) Fishermen or trapmen detained in Bristol Bay after September 1 shall be paid at the rate of $90 per month for the time of such detention.

(,j ) For salmon transferred from Nushagak, Kvichak, Naknek, Egegak, or Ugashik, or received from other sources, all fishermen and trapmen employed at receiving station shall share equally in extra compensation equal to one-third of the price paid for such transferred salmon where caught. No such extra compensation shall be paid for salmon caught by boats transferred to another station.

(k) The basis of compensation of wages if paid by the case shall be a case of salmon containing forty-eight 1-pound tall cans or a case containing ninety-six J^-pound cans. For wage purposes, if any salmon in half-pound cans are packed 48 to the case, 3 cases of forty-eight 3^-pound cans each to be computed as 2 cases of forty-eight 1-pound tall cans. If salmon are salted, each barrel of salmon is to be computed as 4 cases and each half-barrel as 2 cases of forty-eight 1-pound tall cans. Regular red salmon prices to be paid for all other kinds of fish that may be put up by the company in cans or barrels, dried, smoked,'or salted.

(l) Men with families dependent upon them shall be allowed $70 per month. Payments to commence on the 1st of the month following departure from San Francisco, and monthly thereafter.

(m) All moneys earned to be payable in San Francisco after the return of the expedition, except the sum of $10, which is to be paid on thk homeward voyage to each man signing this agreement.

HOTEL AND RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES

CIGAR MAKERS

The rates paid for cigar making vary according to the length of the cigar, its size, and shape, and in each of these according to the quality or kind of tobacco used. It may therefore be readily understood that the difficulties entailed in showing both the bill of prices for these units and their combination as well as an average fair day’s work would involve a great deal of space to very little purpose. Another difficulty is to be found in the widely scattered localities in which cigars are made. The headquarters of the Cigar Makers’ International Union has, however, after considerable analysis, furnished the bureau with the average rate per thousand cigars paid to union cigar makers, as well as an estimate of the average output per man in an 8-hour day. These figures are shown in the following table:

99


not more than 48 hours per week at walling and daubing. Setting gangs on machine setting yards, and all the men assisting them, work 10 hours per day working straight time, and are paid time and a half for all time in excess of 10 hours. All repair work in excess of eight hours is paid for at rate of time and a half.

Work at brickmaking is prohibited on Sundays or New Year’s Day, Decoration Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas, but other work may be performed on these days and shall be paid for at rate of time and a half.

GLASS INDUSTRY

FLINT GLASS WORKERS

The agreement of the American Flint GJass Workers’ Union of North America gives a very detailed schedule of rates for workers on pressed and blown glassware. This schedule establishes piece rates for hundreds of different articles of glassware and is far too extensive to be reproduced here. Some of the basic rates are as follows:

Mold makers.—Weekly rates of $30, $35, $40, $45, and $48 for 48-hour week, with a half day on Saturday, and time and a half for overtime

Cutters.—Minimum rate per week of 48 hours, $26.28. Basic wage for establishing piece rate on new work is 70 cents per hour, or $33.60 per week. Piece rates per dozen are also established for about 100 articles. Cutting done on the piece basis is affected by the size, design, and shape of the article and the operation performed.

Lamp-working department.— For day work, minimum is $25 per week and maximum is $44 for 47-hour week. Prices per gross are also given on 100 or more small vials, culture tubes, hypodermic syringes, etc.

Pressed ware and handmade stoppers made in bottle factories.— The price per gross is affected by the size, weight, shape, style, and finish of the article. Some representative rates for pressmen are given in Table 34. Gatherers work on a piece rate equivalent to 75 per cent of the pressmen’s rate.T a b l e 3 4 . — P IE C E -R A T E SC A L E S O F PRESSM EN W O R K IN G ON P R E S S E D W A R E AN D

GLASS-BOTTLE BLOWERS

In the pressed-ware and affiliated departments the rates for bottle blowers are based on specific pieces or product, for which there are thousands of quotations.

The method of payment is shown by Tables 35 and 36, giving the rates for machine glass-bottle blowing and for stopper grinding. These data were furnished by the Glass Bottle Blowers’ Association of the United States and Canada.

Glass-bottle blowers work 8 hours per day and 44 hours per week, while stopper grinders work 8 per day and 48 per week.

PO TTERY W O RKERS

The wage agreements of pottery workers indicate that the earnings of nearly all persons engaged in that industry are computed from a piece-rate basis, the unit of measurement being the dozen, piece, kiln day or cubic feet of space.

The rates quoted in the agreements (for white granite and semiporcelain and china) are very numerous, consideration being given to the size, weight, shape, and difficulty of producing the style or design.6

• For a full compilation of pottery workers’ wages see Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 412. In an appendix (pp. 112-175) the wage agreements are printed in full.



The hours of pottery workers as a whole are 9 per day and 6 days per week, with a further provision that on “ pay Saturday ” the hours shall be 8. Fortnightly pay days are the rule in this industry.

The table below shows a range of rates for each department by articles produced. Thus, in the casting department production of “ teapots, plugged— cast handles77 commands the low rate of 7.05 cents per dozen while “ covered dishes— 8 inches” are paid for at the rate of $1.41 per dozen.

PUBLIC SERVICEPAVERS AND CURB SETTERS

In New York City, District Council No. 1 of Pavers, Eammermen, Wood Block, Brick and Iron Slag Pavers, Flag Layers, Bridge and Stone Curb Setters of Greater New York and vicinity made an agreement with paving contractors and corporations, which sets $12 per day as the rate for pavers and $10 per day as the rate for rammers. The agreement establishes the 8-hour day and 44-hour week. All overtime and work on Sundays is paid for at double rates.

MUSICIANS

The printed agreements of unions affiliated with the American Federation of Musicians show a great number of rates. There are many special rates for holidays or special engagements of infrequent occurrence, differing widely in the various cities. Rates are affected by many conditions; for example, playing as a soloist, the length of the engagement, playing at late hours or with less than a full orchestra or band, playing for continuous dancing or outside of city, wearing uniforms, playing two instruments, playing at rehearsals or substituting for regular man, holiday work, transportation of men and instruments, meals and lodging, etc. This great diversity of rates renders impractical, for the purposes of this bulletin, a complete compilation of the rates of wages of musicians. I t is believed, however, that a fair representation is made in Table 45, showing for approximately 65,000 union musicians, in 54 cities, three groups of rates for each of the cities; namely, rates for the ordinary single engagement, rates for regular or season engagements at hotels, and rates for season engagements in theaters.

The ordinary single engagement, in most cities, covers or includes such engagements as ordinary parties, dances, balls, concerts, picnics, etc. The season engagements at hotels and in theaters cover those musicians regularly employed for a specified consecutive period of weeks, a contract usually being required. Rates for single engagements or engagements for less than a season are at higher rates than season engagements for like services. The agreements generally provide that on this class of work one rehearsal may be given free each week.

STAGE EM PLO YEES AND M OTION-PICTURE MACHINE OPERATORS

An adequate idea of the wages in the occupations coming under the jurisdiction of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada may be obtained from the data given in Table 46, which, while not covering all agreements for the United States, does cover such a large number that it is believed to be sufficiently comprehensive.

The hours in these occupations are very irregular, for the reason that they are dictated entirely by the size of the theater and the number of performances. The data for hours shown in the table give a fair picture of such conditions.
