a Not computed, owing to small number involved.

The highest average daily earnings, as indicated by the table above, are shown by the second generation of industrial workers, or nativeborn of foreign father, followed by the native-born white wage-earners of native father, who, in turn, are followed by the foreign-born. Among the races of old immigration from Great Britain and northern Europe the highest average daily earnings are shown by the English and the lowest by the Dutch and Irish. Of the races of southern and eastern Europe, the highest average daily earnings capacity is exhib

ited by the Spanish and North Italians, and the lowest by the Greeks and Macedonians. The average amount earned daily by the total of 138,375 male employees for whom information was received was $2.11. The table next presented shows, by general nativity and race, the average amount of daily earnings of 14,416 female wage-earners 18 years of age or over for whom information was received:

a Not computed, owing to small number involved.

The average amount of daily earnings of the female industrial workers, as can be readily seen from the table, was considerably below that shown by the males. For the native-born white women the average amount earned each week was $1.25, for those nativeborn of foreign father $1.29, and for the total foreign-born $1.20.

The two tabulations next presented set forth the average daily earnings of industrial workers who were 14 and under 18 years of age. The first table submitted, which immediately follows, shows, by general nativity and race, the average daily earnings of 7,363 male wage-earners who were 14 but under 18 years of age. The average earnings shown by the grand total were $1.38 per diem, the average

for the total foreign-born $1.63, for the total native-born of foreign father $1.48, and for those of native birth and native father $1.31 per day.

The average daily earnings of females 14 and under 18 years of age are shown in the following table, by general nativity and race. The earnings of the females, it will be noted, in the case of each nativity group are lower than those shown by the males in the same classifica tion.

The table next presented shows, by general nativity and race, the per cent of male employees 18 years of age or over earning each specified amount per week. As in the case of average earnings, it should be noted that the following tables relative to range in earnings are based upon a single normal week. The earnings for a more extended period would be proportionately lower for the reason that lost time through various causes would become operative.
