WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE LUMBER INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES, 1925

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

This report presents the results of a study of wages and hours in sawmills and logging camps in 1925.1 The information compiled covers 61,193 wage earners (including 38 females) employed in 299 sawmills in 23 States and 9,133 wage earners in 72 logging camps in 10 of the same States. Every logging camp from which data were secured was operated in connection with a sawmill furnishing wage figures. Wages and hours for logging camps are shown after the general sawmill tables.

The average hourly earnings of all the employees in the sawmills mentioned above were $0,357, the average full-time hours per week were 58.1, and the average full-time earnings per week were $20.74.

Changes in wage rates and hours in the industry as a whole are shown by the following table of index numbers for the years indicated from 1910 to 1925, on the basis of 1913 as 100. These figures do not include logging data, being based solely on sawmill wages and hours.T able 1.—INDEX NUMBERS OF FULL-TIME HOURS PER WEEK, EARNINGS PER

From 1910 to 1915 the customary hours of work changed very little, but by 1919 the hours had been reduced by 8 per cent, as shown by the index 92. From 1919 to 1921 the hours increased to an index of 94, or G per cent less than in 1913, at which point they have remained.

1 Earlier reports of the bureau relating to wages and hours in the lumber industry may be found in the Nineteenth Annual Report and in Bulletins Nos. 59, 65, 71, 77, 129,153, 225, 205, 317, and 3C3.


The earnings per hour fluctuated somewhat from 1910 to 1915, the index reaching its lowest point of 91 in 1915. By 1919 the rate had jumped to 194, or 94 per cent above the 1913 rate. War conditions were responsible for this great change. By 1921 the rate had dropped back to 166, but by 1923 it had gone to 180, with a very slight recession in 1925 to 178.

Full-time earnings per week showed somewhat smaller increases than earnings per nour, owing to the reduction in the customary hours worked.

The agents of the bureau obtained from the pay rolls the figures for one pay period, varying in length in the different mills from one week to one month.

Of the 299 sawmills scheduled, 121 were for a one-week pay period, 126 were for a two-week or half-month pay period, and 52 were for a one-month pay period. Data from May pay rolls were used for 108 schedules; June, 96 schedules; April, 73 schedules; March, 20 schedules; and February, 2 schedules.

CHANGES IN WAGES AND HOURS

Wage changes since June 1,1923, as reported by the different establishments, show wage increases by 26 establishments and decreases by 74 establishments. No wage changes were made by 199 establishments. Of the 26 mills reporting increases, 1 reported 22 per cent, 1 reported 20 per cent, 1 reported 16% per cent, 2 reported 15 per cent, 11 reported 10 per cent, 1 reported 9 per cent, 2 reported 7 per cent, 1 reported 5 per cent, 2 reported 4 per cent, 1 reported 1 per cent, and 3 reported 25 cents per day.

Of the 74 mills reporting decreases, 2 reported 25 per cent, 5 reported 20 per cent, 1 reported 16% per cent, 14 reported 10 per cent, 1 reported 6 per cent, 1 reported 3 per cent, 14 reported 50 cents per day, 7 reported 40 cents per day, 2 reported 30 cents per day, 13 reported 25 cents per day, 1 reported 14 cents per hour, 11 reported 5 cents per hour, anfl 2 reported 21 ̂ cents per hour. Thirteen mills reported various increases to employees in certain occupations and 2 reported decreases in certain occupations.

The* net result of these changes was a slight reduction in wages of between 1 and 2 per cent.

BONUSES AND PAY FOR OVERTIME AND SUNDAY

Changes in hours were made by only 7 mills, one of which changed from 60 to 72 hours per week and 2 increased 1 hour per day, 1 decreased 5 hours per week, 1 decreased 2 hours per week, 1 decreased one-half hour per week, and 1 changed from 6 to 5 days per week. Only 17 mills reported having paid an extra rate for overtime and Sunday work. Four mills paid 25 per cent and 13 mills paid 50 per cent extra for such work. Bonuses were paid by only 3 mills.

4 WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN LUMBER INDUSTRY

Full-time hours per week are the regular customary hours during which under normal conditions the employees in an occupation are on duty. The full-time earnings per week are the earnings of employees working full time or the earnings on broken or short time reduced to equivalent earnings for a full week.

According to the 1919 census figures over 91 per cent of the total number of wage earners in the industry are found in the States in which the establishments furnishing data to the Bureau of Labor Statistics are located. The number of employees for whom the bureau obtained 1923 data is nearly 15 per cent of the total number in the industry and the number in 1925 is over 20 per cent of the total.

The total number of employees in sawmills scheduled in 1925 was 61,193. Of this number 38 were women who worked in common-labor occupations and are not shown in the tables which follow. These women were reported from 5 different establishments in 4 different States. The number of mills scheduled is 299, divided as follows: 49 in the Far West, 50 in the Northern States, and 200 in the Southern States.

Some employees were found woriring at more than one occupation during the pay period taken and were tabulated under each occupation, thus causing a few duplications.

EARNINGS, HOURS, AND INDEX NUMBERS, 1907 TO 1925

Table 3, which follows, shows averages for full-time hours per week, earnings per hour, and full-time earnings per week for the employees in 11 separate selected occupations. All of the remaining employees are grouped under “ other employees.” Paralleling these averages are shown index numbers for each occupation except “ saw tailers, head saw” and “ other employees” for whom no separate data were obtained for 1913, which is the base year, equaling 100. Comparative figures are shown for each designated year from 1907 to 1925 wherever the data were available. No data were collected in the missing years.

The index numbers for 1925 when compared with 1923 show an increase in full-time hours of from 1 to 3 points in each of 7 occupations and a decrease of 3 points in 1 occupation. In 2 occupations no change occurs.

In comparing the index numbers for earnings per hour for the years 1923 and 1925, a decrease of from 1 to 10 points is shown. in 8 occupations, no change in 1 occupation, and an increase of 19 points in 1 occupation. Full-time earnings per week show decreases ranging from 1 to 8 points in 6 occupations, increases of from 1 to 2 points in 3 occupations, and no change in 1 occupation.

These points in the index numbers must not be read as percentages of change as between years. If percentage of change between years is desired, compute by dividing the index of the later by that of the earlier year.

In the occupation of saw tailers, for which no index numbers are shown, hours increased and earnings decreased slightly in 1925 as compared with 1923. In the group of other employees hours and earnmgs both increased between 1923 and 1925.

DAYS OF OPERATION AND OF IDLENESS

Table 7 shows by States the average number of days the sawmills operated and the average number of days the mills were idle classified by causes of idleness. The Texas mills show the highest average days run in the year ending March 31,1025, having operated 302 days. Maine averaged the lowest, 189 days. Maine’s low average was caused largely by seasonal shutdowns. No mills were operated on Sunday. The average da^s operated by 297 mills was 273. Two mills did not begin operating until after April 1, 1924, so are not included in the table. An average of 4 days was lost in holidays and vacations, 5 days because of no market, 14 days for repairs, 7 days because of lack of supply of logs, 1 day for baa weather, 7 days for seasonal shutdown, and 2 days for various other causes.T able 7.—AVERAGE NUMBER OF DAYS OF OPERATION AND OF DAYS IDLE BY

WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN LUMBER INDUSTRY 13HEAD SAWS, NUMBER OF, AND OF DAYS OF OPERATION

The head saw is the large saw which first receives the log in the process of lumber manufacture. It usually saws the log into boards or timbers of final thickness, but may be employed only to cut the log down to one solid piece, flat on two opposite sides, called a cant, a resaw or gang saw being used in a later operation to further reduce the size of the lumber.

Table 8 shows by States the number of mills, number of head saws, average number of head saws per mill, average number of days mills operated, average number of shifts each head saw was operated during day, night, and third shifts, and the number of mills operating each, specified number of head saws. Of the 299 mills reporting, 138 operated 1 head saw each, 127 operated 2 head saws each, 25 operated 3 nead saws each, 4 operated 4 head saws each, 4 operated 5 head saws each, and 1 mill operated 7 head saws. A total of 510 head saws were operated by the 299 mills or an average of 1.7 head saws per mill. The head saws reported averaged 271 day shifts, 64 night shifts, and 0.5 of a third shift, a total of 335 shifts during the year.T able 8.—-NUMBER OF HEAD SAWS AND OF DAYS OF OPERATION FOR THE YEAR

Table B.—Average and classified earnings per hour in 8 typical occupations, 1925, by State.

Table C.—Average actual and classified hours worked per pay period in 8 typical occupations, 1925, by State. This table is divided into three sections representing three pay periods—one-week period, two-week or half-month period, and one-month period.

Table D.—Average actual and classified earnings per pay period in 8 typical occupations, 1925, by State. This table has the same divisions as Table C.

Table E.—Average and specified number of days on which employees worked, 1925, by occupation. This table also is shown in three sections.

Table F.—Average number of days on which employees worked, average full-time hours and hours actually worked, and average fulltime and actual earnings, 1925, by occupation, pay period, and State.

The purpose of Table F is to afford a comparison of average fulltime hours and average hours actually worked in the pay period and a comparison of average full-time earnings with average actual earnings. The difference is shown quite clearly by the percentage column, the actual difference being shown by the difference between 100 per cent or full-time and the per cent in the table which shows actual time worked.T a b l e A.— AVERAGE EARNINGS PER HOUR, FULL-TIME EARNINGS

In Table G are shown for each State from which data for logging camps were obtained, the number of employees, full-time hours per week, the wage rates, and the equivalent rates per hour, by occupation.

On account of the many differences in organization, nomenclature, and conditions, no attempt has been made to summarize these figures.

The occupations are arranged alphabetically for each State. Different occupation names may occur in the same State which may indicate the same or similar work, but it has been thought best to use the terms in vogue in the locality and in the establishment from which the data were obtained.

In some occupations, such as those in the cookhouse, employees are given board m addition to their wages. Where this occurs a note to that effect is shown. All full-time hours per week are for 6 days unless shown otherwise by note.
