UNION SCALE OF WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, HAY 15 .1 9 2 6

SUMMARY

The Bureau of Labor Statistics presents in this report the union wage scales as of M ay 15, 1926, for 824,313 members of organized trades as found in 66 im portant industrial cities. Seventy-eight trades and subdivisions of trades have been included. M ost agreements for the year are settled before M ay 15.

The average rates for the several trades and groups of trades in 1926 in comparison with the rates in 1925 appear in Table 1, page 3. The hourly rate of wages for all trades herein shown taken collectively, exclusive of the street railway occupations, shows an advance from $1,091 per hour in 1925 to $1,148 per hour in 1926, an increase of 5.2 per cent. Following is a list of trade groups for which data are shown in this report and the per cent of change in hourly wages as compared with 1925:

The rates and hours of street railway motormen and conductors do not enter into the grand averages for all trades combined, as men in these occupations do not have uniform hours.

Weekly hours for all trades taken as a unit have changed but slightly since 1925, having decreased 0.2 per cent. The largest decrease for any one group was th a t of chauffeurs and team sters and drivers, which showed 1.5 per cent reduction. Two groups showed slight increases, bakers an increase of 0.8 per cent and newspaper printing an increase of 0.1 per cent.

The average hours for the United States in all trades herein covered, not including street railways, are 45.4 per week. In the following statem ent the average hours for the several groups are shown:

For convenience in comparisons, all rates are shown per full-tim e week as well as per hour. The average full-tim e weekly rates for 1926 for all trades combined showed an advance of 5.0 per cent over the 1925 figures.

The greatest per cent of increase in weekly earnings is shown by granite and stone cutters, which amounts to 11.2 per cent, while building trades show 6.4 per cent, and linemen 4.5 per cent. W ith the exception of bakery trades, which show a decrease in full-time earnings of 4.3 per cent, and longshoremen and laundry workers, which show a quite negligible decrease, other groups show small increases.

I t is impossible, of course, to follow up the thousands of individual union members and get from them the am ount of time they work and the am ount of time they do not work; hence no statem ent can be made of their actual earnings in a week or in a year. This report can trea t only of rates of wages as distinct from actual earnings.

For a description of the scope of this report and the methods followed see page 54.

AVERAGE HOURLY RATES OF WAGES AND NUMBER OF CHANGES IN UNION SCALES, BY TRADES

The average money rates of wages per hour as of M ay 15, 1926 and 1925, for the country as a whole are given for each trade and for trade groups in Table 1. These averages were obtained by m ultiplying each hourly rate by the number of members of the union, then adding the products and the number of members and dividing the aggregate wages by the aggregate number of members. The membership is held strictly confidential and is used only for the purpose of computing the averages.

There are tabulated for 1926, 4,570 union-scale quotations, for 401 of which there are no comparable data for 1925. Of the 4,169 union-scale quotations for which there are comparable data for 1925, 2,655 had no t changed during the year and 1,514 had changed in rates or hours or in both of these items. There are 1,379 instances of an increase in hourly wage rates in 1926 as compared w ith 1925, 1,297 instances of an increase in wage rates per week, and 44 instances of an increase in hours of labor. There are 94 instances of a reduction in hourly wage rates in 1926 as compared w ith 1925, 105 instances of a reduction in wage rates per week, full tim e, and 152 instances of a reduction in hours of labor. Of the 44 instances of increase in the hours of labor, 16 occurred in the building trades, 6 in the chauffeurs and team sters and drivers, 1 in linemen 1 in longshoremen and 20 in the newspaper printing trades.

Table 1 shows th a t of the 247 bakeiy trade quotations comparable with 1925,38 had an increase, 1 a decrease, and 208 had no change in wage rates per hour; 36 had an increase, 2 a decrease, and 209 no change in wage rates per wreek, full time; while 2 had a decrease and 245 no change in the number of hours per week. The other items of the table may be read in like manner.

Owing to the shifting of trips and the many variations of hours of work in the operation of street cars, the hours per week and rates of wages per week of motormen and conductors are om itted from this report. The 28 changes reported for this group were all increases in rates of w ages per hour.

Expressed in percentages of the total number (1,5.14) of union-scale quotations in which there were changes, 91.1 per cent resulted in increases and 6.2 per cent in decreases in rates of wages per hour; 85.7 per cent provided increases and 6.9 per cent decreases in earnings per week; and 2.9 per cent provided increases and 10 per cent decreases in the hours per week.

WEEKLY HOURS OP LABOR, BY TRADESTable 2 showrs the percentage of members in each trade or occu

pation working certain classified hours per week on M ay 15, 1926.I t will be observed from the table that 94.5 per cent of the bakers

had a wreek of 48 hours or less; th a t 97.1 per cent of the building trades had a wreek of 44 horn's or less; th a t 79.5 per cent of all the union membership covered had a w êek of 44 hours or less and 90.3 per cent a week of 48 hours or less.

The combined organized trades herein represented have thus nearly reached the 8-hour day, and more than three-fourths of their membership have also secured the Saturday half-holiday, resulting in a 44-hour wreek.

Table 3 above shows very interesting figures. According to the table the weekly rate of bakers increased 150.3 per cent between 1913 and 1926. This means th a t the bakers’ full-tim e weekly wage rate in 1926 was two and one-half times the rate of 1913. Between 1907 and 1926 the bakers’ weekly rate increased 194.2 per cent. In other words, bakers’ wages in 1926 were almost three tim es those of 1907. D ata for all trades were not available back as far as 1913. So far as shown, the greatest increase in any trade between 1913 and 1926 was in cem ent finishers’ helpers. Here the increase was 186 per cent, making the ra te 2.86 times as much in 1926 as in 1913. The greatest increase between 1907 and 1926 is shown for steam and sprinkler fitters’ helpers. In this trade the rate in 1926 was more than three and one-third times the rate in 1907.

INDEX NUMBERS OF ALL TRADES COMBINED, 1907 TO 1926

A table of index numbers is now presented. These index numbers are simply percentages in which the rates for all of the years were compared with the rate in a selected base year which is taken as 100. Table 4 shows the extent of the changes in all cities and all trades combined, in union wage scales taken as a whole for each year from 1907 down; the data for preceding years are drawn from earlier reports. The pre-war year 1913 is taken as the base.T a bu s 4 ,—IN D EX NUM BERS OF UNION WAGE RATES AND HOURS OF LABOR FRO M

The table shows th a t union wage rates per hour were higher in 1926 than in any preceding year, the index for 1926 being 250.3. This means th a t union wage rates per hour as a whole were two and one-half times as much in 1926 as they were in 1913.

Full-tim e hours per week were 7.2 per cent lower in 1926 than in 1913 and full-tim e weekly earnings were two and one-third times as much in 1926 as in 1913.

As some readers may desire to make comparisons with the initial year, 1907, a table of index numbers has been computed from the same basic figures, starting with 1907 as 100.

Table 5 shows an index for wage rates per hour of 279 in 1926 as compared with 100 in 1907. This means th a t the rates per hour were more than two and three-fourths tim es as much in 1926 as in 1907. The index for full-tim e hours per week in 1926 is 90.5, meaning th a t since 1907 full-tim e hours per week had decreased 9.5 per cent. The index for full-time rates of wages per week stands a t 255 in 1926, meaning th a t full-tim e weekly earnmgs were more than two and one-half times as much in 1926 as in 1907.
