TABLE 10.- Male employees for whom information was secured, by general nativity and race- Firearms. Information was obtained for 1,455 male employees of this industry. Of this number, the foreign-born constitute 40.1 per cent and the native-born of foreign father 26.9 per cent, while the remaining proportion, 33 per cent, is composed of native-born of native father white. While a large number of races are represented in this industry, only those constituting as much as 1 per cent of the total number of employees are considered. Among the foreign-born the French Canadians constitute the largest proportion, or 12.8 per cent, followed by the Poles, who constitute the next largest proportion, or 7.1 per cent, while the proportions constituted by the representatives of the other races range from 3.6 per cent for the Irish to 1.2 per cent for the North Italian and Scotch. Among the native-born of foreign father, on the other hand, only those whose fathers were born in Canada, Ireland, Germany, England, and Scotland, in the order named, constitute each more than 0.5 per cent of all employees concerning whom information was obtained. Only a slight difference exists in the proportions of those whose fathers were born in Canada and Ireland, each constituting over 8 per cent, while the proportions constituted by those whose fathers were born in the other specified countries range from 4.5 to 1.2 per cent, in the order in which they are previously mentioned.

In this entire industry information was obtained for 16,569 employees, of which number 54.5 per cent are foreign-born, 21.3 per cent native-born of foreign father, and 24 per cent native-born of native father, white, while the remaining proportion, or less than 1 per cent are native negroes born of native father. The foreign-born constitute 55.5 per cent of the males, as compared with 45.3 per cent of the females, while the native-born of foreign father and nativeborn of native father, white, constitute 19.8 and 24.4 per cent, respectively, of the males, as compared with 34.1 and 20.6 per cent, respectively, of the females; the native negroes, born of native father, not appearing among the females and being less than 0.5 per cent of the males. Although a very large number of races are represented in this industry, only those, the representatives of which constitute as much as 2 per cent of either the total number of males or females are considered. It will be noted that among the foreign-born males the Poles constitute the largest proportion, or 12.4 per cent, and the English and Irish, each the smallest proportion, or 3.2 per cent, while the proportions constituted by the South Italians, Germans, North Italians, and Swedes, in the order named, range from 7.2 to 3.8 per cent. Of those males, native-born of foreign father, those whose fathers were born in Germany, Ireland, and England constitute 6.5, 6.1, and 2.5 per cent, respectively. Females belonging to only four foreign-born races constitute each as much as 2 per cent of the total number of females. Of these the Poles make up by far the largest proportion, or 22.4 per cent, followed by the Germans, Russians, and Lithuanians, constituting 4.4, 3.3, and 2.9 per cent, respectively. Concerning the females, native-born of foreign father, those whose fathers were born in Germany and those whose fathers were born in Ireland alone constitute as much as 2 per cent each of all females for whom information was secured; the former constituting 12.6 and the latter 10.8 per cent.

Of the females, 21.3 per cent are foreign-born, 40.8 per cent native whites born of native father, 37.9 per cent native-born of foreign father. The number of native-born negroes is insufficient for computation. The total proportion of foreign-born males is made up largely of English, German, North Italian, South Italian, Polish, and Slovak, the same races, with the addition of the Irish, constituting the largest proportion of the total number of foreign-born females. The total proportion of the native-born of foreign father, both males and females, is composed largely of persons whose fathers were born in Canada, England, Germany, Ireland, and Wales.
