The table further shows Germans having by far the highest per cent with a residence of twenty years or over, Bohemians and Moravians ranking next, but in much smaller proportions, while Hebrew other than Russian, and Magyars show between 15 and 20 per cent who have been in this country twenty

The greater proportion of the males have been in this country under ten years, the greater proportion of the females under five years.

years.

Of those of each race with a period of residence in the United States under five years, the South Italians show the largest, and the Bohemians and Moravians the smallest proportion. This is true also with regard to those with a period of residence of less than ten, as well as those with a period of residence of less than twenty years, consequently the Bohemian and Moravian show the largest, and the South Italian the smallest proportion who have been in the United States twenty years or over.

The racial movement to the different clothing manufacturing centers may be seen from the two tabulations next presented. The

first table which follows shows, by locality and race, the per cent of foreign-born employees in the United States each specified number of years.
