Previously this table covered only thirteen cities, except that data for building trades in Windsor, Ont, was included, beginning with the report for 1928. Sheet metal workers employed in building and con struction have been included with building trades since 1927, while. Sheet metal workers in factories have been included in the table on factory trades. The section Of the table on metal trades previously given has been omitted in this report as well as in the last, figures for these trades appearing in the tables of sample rates of wages and hours in the sections of Table X on foundries and machine shops and other metal manufacturing indus tries. As in previous reports figures on wages for the metal trades in mines and on railways appear in the tables on those industries. The main object of these reports is to Show the changes in wage rates and in hours of labour during the periods Covered. The figures given in each report afford a continuous record for the years included, the data being from the same sources as far as is possible. Whenever a new source of information becomes available, the figures for previous years are secured, if possible, and the record is revised accordingly. Information is compiled from reports of representative employers and Of trade unions secured annually, and also from union agree ments. These reports are supplemented by figures Obtained by Officers of the Department and by resident correspondents Of the labour gazette in the principal industrial centres. The statistics as to building trades Show the prevailing rates of wages and hours of labour for nine classes of labour for the years 1920, 1926, 1930, 1931, and 1932 for the building season beginning in the spring of each year. During the year 1931, however, changes occurred later in the season more extensivelythan is usual, and the rates in effect at the end of the year were therefore obtained and included.
