Of the total number of foreign-born husbands 70.3 per cent report their wives in the United States and 29.7 per cent report their wives abroad. Among the Canadians other than French, Danes, English, French, Germans, Irish, Norwegians, Scotch, Swedes, and Welsh from 92 per cent to 99.3 per cent of the husbands report wives in the United States. On the other hand, the races of recent immigration from southern and eastern Europe report a large proportion of wives abroad. More than 95 per cent of the married Bulgarians and Macedonians, as well as 75.2 per cent of the Roumanians, 65.5 per cent of the Servians, 61.7 per cent of the Croatians, 44 per cent of the Magyars, 43.4 per cent of the South Italians, and 40.1 per cent of the North Italians who are married report their wives abroad.

The following table shows by locality and by race of husband the per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad:

TABLE 108.-Per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad, by locality and by race of husband.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[This table includes only races with 40 or more husbands reporting in each of two or more localities. The total, however, is for all foreign-born.]

From the foregoing table it is seen that the wives of 29.7 per cent of the total number of married men employed in the iron and steel industry were abroad.

Of the total number in each locality, the South, followed by the East, shows the largest, and the Middle West the smallest, proportion of men who are married but whose wives are not in the United States. Of the races reporting in each of the three localities, the English, German, and Scotch each exhibit in the East a larger proportion of married men with wives abroad than in either of the other two localities, and the Russians a larger proportion in the South than in either the East or Middle West. Of the races reporting in numbers sufficient for computation in the East and Middle West only,

the Croatian, North Italian, Polish, Slovenian, and Welsh each have the largest proportions of married men whose wives are abroad in the former, while the Finns, Lithuanians, Magyars, Servians, and Swedes each show the largest proportion in the latter.

The table next presented indicates the tendency on the part of employees of the several races to send for their wives after they have been in this country specified numbers of years. It shows the percentage of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad, according to race of husband and period of residence of husband in the United States.

TABLE 109.-Per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad, by race of husband and by years husband has been in the United States.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[By years in the United States is meant years since first arrival in the United States. This table includes only races with 100 or more husbands reporting.]

From this table it appears that the proportion of husbands in the United States under five years reporting wives abroad is largest for the Bulgarians, Macedonians, Greeks, Servians, Roumanians, Croatians, and Russians, in the order mentioned. The Greeks, Croatians, Servians, and Roumanians, in the order named, have the largest proportion of husbands in the United States from five to nine years whose wives are abroad, and the Servians, Croatians, Greeks, and Roumanians, in the order mentioned, the largest proportion of husbands in the United States ten years or over whose wives were abroad. It will be noted that the proportion of husbands reporting wives abroad: decreases in the case of almost every race as the period of residence' of husbands in the United States increases.

VISITS ABROAD.

The series of tables next presented indicates the tendencies on the part of the members of the several races to return permanently or to revisit their home countries after designated periods of residence in the United States. The first table submitted in this connection, with its accompanying chart, shows by years in the United States and race the visits abroad made by foreign-born male employees.

Of the foreign-born male employees for whom information was secured, 9.7 per cent of those who have been in the United States under five years, 19.7 per cent of those who have been here from five to nine years, and 19.7 per cent of those who have been here ten years or over have made one or more visits abroad. The proportion of employees in the United States under five years who have made visits abroad is largest for the Canadians other than French, French, North Italians, Magyars, and Slovaks, in the order mentioned; the proportion of employees who have been here from five to nine years who have made visits abroad is largest for the Canadians other than French, Scotch, Greeks, Roumanians, South Italians, and North Italians, in the order mentioned; and the proportion of employees who have been in the United States ten years or over who have made visits abroad is largest for the Canadians other than French, Greeks, Roumanians, North Italians, and South Italians, in the order mentioned. The majority of the races report that a larger proportion of employees who have been in the United States ten years or over than of those who have been here from five to nine years have visited their home countries, while the proportion of employees in the United States under five years who have made visits abroad is, in the case of almost every race, smaller than the proportion in the other two residence groups.

The table next submitted shows by locality and race the per cent of foreign-born male employees reporting 1 or more visits abroad:

Less than 9 per cent of the Finns, Poles, and Lithuanians in the East report visits abroad, but with these exceptions there is but little variation from the 17.6 per cent averaged by all the Eastern employees, the maximum proportion of 29.8 being reported by the
