WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE BOOT AND SHOE INDUSTRY, 1907 TO 1922.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY.

Average rates of wages or earnings per hour, average full-time hours per week, average hours actually worked and average earn­ings actually received m one pay-roll period, and average mil-time weekly earnings are presented in this bulletin, by occupations and States, for 28,948 males and 18,413 females employed in the boot and shoe industry in the United States in the year 1922. Summaries for each year from 1907 to 1922 and index numbers for each year from 1910 to 1922, except 1915, 1917, 1919, and 1921, are also given. Data were not collected for the years 1915, 1917, 1919, and 1921.1

The wage peak of the industry was reached in 1920, at which time the general level of hourly earnings reached an amount 2 J times that of 1913 and 2J times the hourly earnings of 1910. Between 1920 and 1922, however, there was a decrease m hourly earnings of about 10 per cent.

Itegular working hours decreased 12 per cent between 1913 and 1920, with no change between 1920 and 1922. Because of a reduction of hours, full-time weekly earnings did not increase in the same pro­portion as hourly earnings. Full-time weekly earnings in 1920 were a little more than twice the earnings of 1913, with a drop of about 9 per cent between 1920 and 1922. These changes in wages and hours are shown by index numbers for the industry as a whole on page 26.

The data for all years covered in this bulletin were taken by agents of the bureau directly from the pay-roll records of the establish­ments. The number of establishments furnishing data varied from year to year, ranging from 26 in 1907, the initial year, to 143 in 1918. A total of 104 establishments were covered in 1922. The 1922 data were taken from the January pay-roll records of 2 establishments; from the March records of 11 establishments; from the April records of 40 establishments; from the May records of 43 establishments; and from the June records of 8 establishments. The great mass of the data, therefore, is as of April and May.

1 The previous investigations of wages and hours of labor in boot and shoe manufacturing have been made and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as follows: Nineteenth Annual Report, covering 1890 to 1903; Bulletin No. 59 (July, 1905), covering 1903 and 1904* Bulletin No. 65 (July, 1906), covering 1904 and 1905; Bulletin No. 71 (July, 1907), covering 1905 and 190$; Bulletin No. 77 (July, 1908), covering 1906 and 1907; Bulletin No. 134 (August, 1913), covering 1907 to 1912; Bulletin No. 154 (May, 1914), covering 1912 and 1913; Bulletin No. 178 (August, 1915), covering 1913 and 1914; Bulletin No. 232 (May, 1918), covering 1914 and 1916; Bulletin No. 260 (November, 1919), covering 1916 and 1918; and Bulletin No. 278 (April, 1921), covering 1920.

The 1922 tabulation shows 39 occupations including males only; 12 occupations including females only; and 29 occupations including both males and females. A verysm all number of females was found in 14 of the 39 occupations for which data are shown for males only, a,mi a very small number of males was found in 11 of the 12 occupations for which data are shown for females Only. In each case the number was too insignificant to be representative and such employees have therefore been included in the group which is desig­nated “ Other employees ” in this report.

In all but 2 of the 29 occupations in which both males and females arehshown the full-time weekly ’ earnings of males exceedthat of females. The greatest difference is $14.44 for outsole or insole rounders and the least, 30 cents, for button fasteners.

In 1922 the average full-time weekly earnings of male employees in the selected occupations varied from $13.71 for lacers in the finishing department to. $43.30 for Goodyear welters. The occu­pational averages for females ranged from $13.04 for outsole or insole rounders to $23.75 for binders.

A summary of the rates of wages or earnings and hours of labor between 1907 and 1922, by occupations, is presented in Table 1, which follows:

EXPLANATION OF SCOPE AND METHOD. 1 9

It will be observed that data are not shown in the above table or in any other table of this report for “ Other employees” for any year prior to 1914. Data covering “ Other employees” were not collected prior to that year.

The table also shows that the number of “ Other employees” (males and females combined) in 1920 and in 1922 is 17,409 and 15,207, respectively, compared with 33,234 in 1914; 38,861 in 1916; and 39,331 in 1918. The decrease in the numbers is due princi­pally to the fact that in 1914, 1916, and 1918, the data for “ Other employees” included 39 occupations reported separately for 1920 and 1922.

EXPLANATION OF SCOPE AND METHOD.The 1922 data used in this bulletin are for employees of establish­

ments engaged wholly or mainly in the production oi men’s, women’s, or children’s shoes by the welt, McKay, turn, or. stitch-down process.

During the 1922 period covered by this report 18 of the 104 estab­lishments for which data are presented produced men’s shoes only; 8 produced men’s and women’s; 16 produced men’s and boy’s; 9 produced men’s, women’s, and children’s; 29 produced women’s; and 24 produced women’s and children’s shoes. Welt shoes were produced by 38 establishments; welt and.McKay by 15; welt and turn by 12; welt, McKay, and turn by 11; McKay by 18; McKay and turn by 2; turn by 2; turn and stitch down by 2; welt and nailed by 1; McKay and nailed by X; welt, McKay, turn, and stitch down by 1; and stitch down by 1.

Data were not collected from any establishment in which 50 per cent or more of the products were pegged shoes, nailed shoes, or slippers.

All data were obtained from pay rolls of the various establishments by the agents of the bureau. The number of establishments from which data have been obtained has varied considerably from year to year since 1907. The number by years is as follows:

In selecting establishments from which to obtain data the bureau undertook to represent all States in which boot and shoe manu­facturing is of material importance, the measure of importance being the number of wage earners as reported by the United States Census of Manufactures; Table 2, which follows, shows by States the number of wage earners inthis* industry as reported by the United States census, 1919; the number of establishments from which the bureau obtained data for 1922, and the number of employees in such establishments.

Maryland, Nebraska,4 North Carolina. Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee,, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

; According to the census of 1919 approximately 96 per cent of the total number of employees in the industry are found in the States in which the establishments furnishing information to the Bureau of Labor Statistics are located* The number of employees for which the bureau obtained 1922 data and for which detailed information for, 4922 is jpresented in this report is more than 22 per cent of the total number of persons in the industry in 1919.

Full-time hours pel week are the regular or customary hours during which, under normal conditions, employees of an occupation or of an establishment have an opportunity to work. Full-time hours per week, as presented in the tables of this report, do not in any way indicate the amount of employment or the amount of unemployment during any of the pay-roll periods covered in any of the years for which" data are shown. Some employees of an occupation or of an establishment may have worked more than full time during the pay-rOll period taken, due to overtime work, 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 o f termination of service before the end of the pay-roll period covered or of having entered service after the beginning of the period.

The amount of employment and conversely of unemployment is indicated in the comparison of “ Average full-time hours per week” with “ Average hours actually worked in pne pay-roll period,” which averages are shown: in parallel columns in Table A, pages 40 to 91. The average in one column shows the possible houm of opportunity for work under normal conditions, Awhile the average-in the other

I column shows the number actually worked.

The average earnings per hour for employees of each.occupation, as presented in the various tables of this report, were computed by dividing the combined earnings of all employees in the occupation during the pay-roll period by the combined hours worked by all employees in the occupation.

No separation has been made of piece workers and time workers.In establishments in which no record was regularly kept of the

actual time worked by employees at piece work, a day-by-day record of all time actually worked by each employee who did any piece work during the pay-roll period covered was kept by the establishments at the request of the agent of the bureau.

Average full-time nours per week for employees of each occupation were computed by dividing the combined full-time hours per week of all employees in the* occupation by the number of employees in the occupation during the pay-roll period covered. The full-time hours per week for each employee were used in arriving at this average even though some employees worked more or less than full time on account o f overtime, sickness, disability, or some other cause.

Average full-time earnings per week for employees of each occu­pation were computed by multiplying the average earnings per hour of all employees m 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 during the time that was actually worked in the week covered.

Table 3 shows for each of 14 of the most important occupa­tions, and for each of the years 1913 to 1922 for which data are available, the number of establishments, the number of employees, the average earnings per hour, and the per cent of employees at each classified group of earnings per hour.

Data are shown for 1922 for males in 13 and for females in 8 of the 14 selected occupations. The males in these particular occupations represent 28 per cent of the total number of males covered by the study and the females in this table represent 31 per cent of the total number of females.. The males and females combined represent 29 per cent of all employees (47,361) covered. The primary purpose of this table is to show the trend in the classified rates per hour.

In reading line 1 of the table it will be observed that data are shown for vamp and whole shoe cutters, males, for 1913 for 71 estab­lishments and 1,987 employees; that the average earnings per hour in 1913 was $0,351; that less than 1 per cent of the 1,987 employees earned “ 12 and under 16 cents” per hour; 2 per cent earned “ 16 and under 20 cents” ; 8 per cent earned “ 20 and under 25 cents” ; 15 per cent earned “ 25 ana under 30 cents” ; 53 per cent earned “ 30 and under 40 cents” ; 17 per cent earned “ 40 and under 50 cents” ; and 5 per cent earned “ 50 cents or over” per hour.

2 6 WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1907 TO 1922f— BOOTS AND SHOES.

To aid in making comparisons from year to year of full-time hours per week, of rates of wages or earnings per hour, and of full-time earnings per week, index numbers have been computed.and are here presented in Table 4 for the years 1910 to 1922 for the industry as a whole and for each occupation for which averages are shown in 'Table 1 for 1913. These index numbers for each occupation are based on the averages shown in Table 1, and are simply percentages with the 1913 averages taken as the basis, or 100 per cent.

The index numbers for the industry as a whole for the years 1910 to 1914, inclusive, are percentages based on the averages for all employees of the selected occupations that were covered in each year, with the 1913 averages '.taken as the basis or 100 per cent.

The index numbers for the industiy as a whole for the later years are based on the averages fo r each year for all employees in the plant including all selected occupations and all “ Other employees” as well. For these averages index numbers have been computed by multi­plying the index numbers for 1914 by the percentage that the 1916 average for all employees is of the 1914 average for all employees. Index numbers for each of the years since 1916 were computed in like manner; that is, by multiplying the index number of the pre­ceding year by the percentage that the average for the current year is of the average for the preceding year.Table 4.—INDEX NUM&ERS OF FULL-TIME HOURS PER W EEK, SO U RLY EARNINGS,

The reasons for using the data for 1913, the year immediately preceding the war, as the base for index numbers are: First, the conditions prevailing in war time were abnormal and should be measured by a period in which normal conditions prevailed; and sec­ond, it is believed that the year 1913 ended a distinct economic period.

REGULAR OR CUSTOMARY HOURS OF OPERATION.The regular or customary 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 beginning work in the morning and closing in the afternoon less the regular time off duty for midday lunch or dinner.

Table 1, pages 3 to 18 shows for specified years, 1907 to 1922, the per cent of employees at each classified group of regular or customary full-time hours per week.

Table A, pages 40 to 91, shows the number of employees in each occupation within each group of regular or customary full-time hours per week. Data drawn from Table A and presented here for the 47,361 employees of the 104 establishments shows the per cent of employees at each classification.

3 0 WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR, 1907 TO 1922— BOOTS AND SHOES.

Between April 1, 1920, and the period covered in 1922, regular or customary hours per week of 1 establishment were increased from 44 to 48 and of 2 from 48 to 50, and the hours of 1 were reduced from 59 to 56£; of 1 from 49£ to 48; and of 1 from 48 to 45. No change was made in the regular or customary hours of 98 establish­ments.

The hours per day of practically all employees whose horns per week were 44, were 8 for 5 days and 4 for 1 day; of those whose hours

Eer week were 45, were 8 for 5 days and 5 for 1 day; of those whose ours per week were 48, were 8 for 6 days; and of those whose hours

were 54 per week, were 9 per day for 6 days.

REDUCTION IN WAGE RATES SINCE APRIL 1, 1920.Fifty-seven of the 104 establishments for which data are presented

in this report made changes in wage rates between April 1,1920, and the period for which 1922 figures are shown, which resulted, as shown in Table 5 below, in an increase of 4 per cent in the rates of pieceworkers of 1 establishment and in a reduction of the rates of some or of all employees of 56 establishments. The reductions were as low as 2 pier cent and as high as 28 per cent. Some establishments made two reductions; one made a reduction of 20 per cent followed later by another reduction of 10 per cent.

Forty-four establishments made no change in wage rates; 1 began operation late in 1921, and 2 began operation in January, 1922, after being closed throughout 1921.TABLE 5.—CHANGE IN WAGE RATES OF BOOT AND SHOE EMPLOYEES IN UNITED

BONUS SYSTEMS.

Forty of the 104 establishments for which data are presented in this report had bonus systems in operation between April 1, 1920, and the period for which 1922 figures are shown by which earnings of employees were increased over and above earnings at regular or fixed rates. The bonus systems of 9 of these establishments were abolished, and the bonus payments of 7 establishments were reduced before the 1922 data were collected. No change was made in the bonus payments of 24 establishments.

It will be observed from Table 6 below that bonus systems are based on “ Earnings,” “ Attendance,” “ Service,” “ Service and attendance,” “ Profits,” or “ Production or leather saving.”

A bonua on “ Earnings” means that the wages of employees at their regular piece or time rates were increased by the addition of a specified per cent. Example: An employee of the establishment shown on line 1 of the table below, whose rate was 50 cents per hour, worked 48 hours and earned $24, and was paid a bonus of 25 per cent of his earnings, thereby making his actual earnings $30 for 48 hours. No doubt some establishments, not included in the table below, would have simply made this an increase in wages instead of a bonus and would have raised the rate from 50 to 62^ cents per hour.

A bonus for “ Attendance” means that earnings of employees at their regular piece or time rates were increased oy the addition of a specified per cent or amount as a reward for attendance all or a specified part of the time that there was work to be done by employees of the establishment as a whole.

It will be observed from the data presented in line 6 of the table below that any employee of any of the 5 establishments who was in attendance and worked full time during the week received 10 per cent of his weekly earnings in addition to his earnings at his piece or time rate. Example: Employee at 50 cents per hour rate worked 48 hours, or full time, thereby earning $24, to which 10 per cent, or $2.40, was added for attendance, making his total earnings for the week $26.40.

Under a “ Service” bonus an employee who was in the service of a company when the bonus was paid, and who had been in service for a specified period of time, received an additional amount; for example, a specified per cent of his earnings, a per capita division of net profits, etc.

Under “ Profit sharing” the earnings of employees at their piece or time rates were increased by the addition of a part of the net profits of the establishment.

A bonus for “ Production or leather saving” means that the earn­ings of “ cutters,” for example, at their regular piece or time rates were increased by the addition of an amount that was saved by cutting more than a standard or specified number of pieces or parts of shoes from a standard or fixed quantity of material. Example: The standard or specified number of pieces to be cut from a quantity of material is 100. A cutter who was paid a regular rate of $1 per hour cut 110 pieces from the quantity and was paid 1 cent additional for each cut over 100, thereby making his earnings $1.10 for that hour.

The bonus systems of 31 establishments where such systems were in effect when data were collected for this report, and of 9 establish­ments where they were in effect April 1, 1920, but discontinued before the 1922 data were collected, are presented in Table 6 below.

NUMBER OF STARTS (DAYS) IN ONE WEEK.

Table 7 shows, for 14 of the principal occupations, average and specified number of starts for establishments and employees for the 1922 weekly pay-roll period for which data are presented in this report.

Data for establishments with biweekly pay-roll periods are not included in the table.

Starts as here used means the number of calendar days or parts of days that establishments were in operation during one week or the number of days or parts of days employees worked during one week. *

The average number of starts or days of operation for establish­ments was ootained by weighting the starts of each establishment by the number of employees without regard to the starts made by individual employees.

The average number of starts for employees of the occupation is a simple average obtained by dividing the aggregate number of starts made by all employees of the occupation in all the establish­ments by the total number of employees of the occupation in all establishments.

Reading line 1 of the table it is seen that for the occupation of “ Cutters, vamp and whole shoe, hand,” data are presented for 81 establishments; that the average number of starts or days of opera­tion in one week is 5.4; that employees of this occupation in 2 estab­lishments had the opportunity to work on 2 days during the week; that employees of 3 establishments had the opportunity to work on 3 days; that employees of 4 establishments had the opportunity to work on 4 days; that employees of 30 establishments had the opportunity to work on.5 days; and that employees of 42 establish­ments had the opportunity to work on 6 days during the week. Con­tinuing on the same line it is seen that there were 1,815 employees in the occupation in the 81 establishments; that 17 of the 1,815 employees actually worked on only 1 day during the week; that 74 worked on 2 days; that 112 worked on 3 days; that 196 worked on 4 days; that 558 worked on 5 days; and that 858 worked on 6 days during the week.

During the months of April and May, or the period for which the major portion of the data were collected in 1922, work was slack in this industry due principally to the fact that it was between seasons. This accounts mainly for the large number of establishments in operation less than 6 days during the week, and the number of em­ployees working less than 6 days.

WAGES AND HOtJRS OF LABOR, 1907 TO 1922— BOOTS AND SHOES. 39

GENERAL TABLES.

All employees not included in any of the selected occupations are combined and shown as “ Other employees.”

In addition to the text tables already shown, four general tables are presented as follows:

Table A .— Average hours and earnings and classified full-time hours. per week, by departments, occupations, pay-roll periods, sex, and States, 1922.

The presentation in Table A in parallel columns of “ Average full­time hours in one pay-roll period” and “ Average hours actually worked during one pay-roll period ” is for the purpose of comparing the regular hours during which, under normal conditions, it is pos­sible for employees in an occupation to work, with the hours actually worked. One shows the possible hours for work under normal con­ditions while the other shows what was actually accomplished during one pay-roll period by all employees in the occupation, including those who worked less than the hours of opportunity.

Table B .— Average and classified earnings per hour for employees in 14 selected occupations, by departments, sex, and States, 1922.

Table C'.— Number o f employees in 14 selected occupations making as many starts as the factory was in operation in one week, classified by hours actually worked, by departments, sex, and States, 1922.

Table D .— Number o f employees in 14 selected occupations making as many starts as the factory was in operation in one week, classified by earnings actually received, by departments, sex, and States, 1922.

In Tables C and D the average full-time hours and earnings per week are for all employees in each of the 14 selected occupations covered in 1922, while the average and classified hours actually worked and the average and classified earnings actually received are for such employees of each occupation as made as many starts to work as there were days of opportunity for work for all employees of the occupation as a whole in one week in 1922.

All employees who made less than the number of starts for which there was opportunity for work were excluded from the average and classified hours actually worked and average and classified earnings actually received, because it is the purpose of these tables 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 and to compare therewith the average hours and earnings that would have been made had each employee worked the regular or customary full-time hours per week. This assumes that each em­ployee would have earned the same average per hour during full time as was earned during the time actually worked in the week covered.

Some employees made less than the number of starts (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 the week or entering service after beginning of week.
