Boot and Shoe Workers
Wages Decline

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. (FP).-
Average full-time weekly earnings for
boot and shoe factory workers in the
United tSates, in the year 1926, were
$25.87, as compared with $2697 for
the year 1920, says the U. s. Bureau
of Labor Statistics. 1t has just pub
lished a study of wages and hours of
various occupations in the boot and
shoe industry since 1914, based on a
number of establishments ranging
from 81 in 1914 to 154 in 1926.
Average full-time earnings per
week, in each year, ran as follows:
1914-$13.26 for a week of SAT- hours;
1916-$14.11 for 54.6 hours; 1913
$17.54 for 52.3 hours; 1920-$26.97
for 1876 hours; 1922-S24.45 for 48.7
hours; 1924-S25.2S for 40 hours;
1926-$25.87 for 40 hours.
So the year 1920 was the peak of
the boot and shoe workers good
times, both as regards weekly earn
ings and short hours.
Average hourly earnings were in
ISzU Two and one-thlrd those of the
year 1918. Between 1920 and 1922
average hourly earnings decreased
about 10 per cent, and between 1922
and 1926 increased ga per cent. The
average hourly earnings for the in
dustry in 1926 were, for males, from
35.1 cents for lacers in the finishing
department to 95.7 cents for hand
machine folders; for females the
hourly wage ran from .29.S cents for
tack pullers to 59.2 cents for FOUNDERS
of outsole or insole.
In % of the 81 occupations the
wages for men are higher than those
for women employees. The difference
ranges from Sc cents weekly for sock
liners to $21.01 for folders.

Are the financial powers behind the
