Of 1,088 persons employed in the manufacture of collars and cuffs, the preceding table shows that 63.9 per cent are single, 25.5 per cent married, and 10.7 per cent widowed.

Of the different nativity groups the foreign-born is the only one showing a larger proportion married than single. The proportion of foreign-born who are married is only slightly larger than the proportion who are single, however, while the proportion of each other nativity group who are single is decidedly larger than the proportion who are married. The foreign-born show the largest and the nativeborn of foreign father the smallest proportion who are widowed.

A comparison between the male and female employees shows that while a larger proportion of the former are married than single, the reverse is true to a slightly larger extent as regards the latter. A larger proportion of the females than of the males are widowed.

It should be noticed that the proportions of foreign-born females who are married and single are almost equal and that the proportion who are widowed is relatively high.

The table next presented further classifies the totals of the one immediately preceding and shows the percentage of employees for whom information was secured, who were in each conjugal condition, by sex, general nativity, and race and by age groups.

Like the males, the females show the largest proportion of married persons among those who are from 30 to 44 years of age. Of the females who are 45 years of age or over, 27.1 per cent are married and 43.8 per cent are widowed; of those who are 30 to 44 years of age 31.2 per cent are married and 16.1 per cent are widowed; while of those who are from 20 to 29 years of age only 13.2 per cent are married, while 2.8 per cent are widowed.

Of the 361 females shown in the above table, 27.7 per cent are single, 49.9 per cent are married, and 22.4 per cent are widowed. Females who are native-born of native father show the highest percentage married, native-born of foreign father and foreign-born following in the order mentioned, but with considerably smaller proportions. Native females born of foreign father show the highest percentage single and foreign-born the highest percentage widowed. Of the foreign-born females English show the highest percentage married, Irish the highest percentage widowed, and Germans a very small percentage single when compared with the other races.

Of 255

males shown in the table, 23.5 per cent are single, 73.7 per cent are married, and 2.7 per cent are widowed. Foreign-born show the highest percentage married, followed by native-born of native father and native-born of foreign father, neither of the last two mentioned showing any males widowed. Of the foreign-born races Germans show the highest percentage of males who are married, Irish the highest percentage widowed, and Armenians the highest percentage single. In comparing males with females it will be seen that the proportion of males who are married is considerably larger than that of females, while females show 22.4 per cent widowed as compared with only 2.7 per cent of males who are widowed. The totals for both males and females show 59.7 per cent married, 26 per cent single, and 14.3 per cent widowed, foreign-born showing the highest percentage married and widowed and native-born of foreign father the highest percentage single. Of the foreign-born races English show the highest percentage married, Armenians the highest percentage single, and Irish very large proportions widowed.

The following table shows, by race of husband, the location of wives of foreign-born employees. It will be seen that all husbands for whom information was secured reported wife in the United States.
