Excerpt from Eighth Annual Report on Union Scale of Wages and Hours of Labor in Massachusetts 1917, Vol. 124: Labor Bulletin, Being Part II of the Annual Report on Statistics of Labor for 1918 In certain industries and trades, such as the boot and shoe industry, the textile industry, the metal trades, and the clothing trades, wages are paid on a piece-rate \basis, but the piece-rates quoted are so numerous and the units of payment are so diverse that it has not seemed advisable to include them in this report. In those instances where organized work men have endeavored to establish in an industry or trade a union scale of wages and hours of labor, but without any fair degree of success, 'such proposed scales have been omitted from this report. 0u the other hand, wherever, in any locality, a definite scale of wages and hours of labor has actually become effective in a strongly organized industry or trade, although it may not have been the subject of a formal, signed agreement between employers and employees, such scale has been included in this report.
