TABLE 3.-Households studied, by general nativity and race of head of household. (STUDY OF HOUSEHOLDS.) Of the 127 households studied in this industry the heads of which are foreign-born, it will be seen that little difference exists in the number of South Italian, Cuban, or Spanish households studied. The South Italians constitute the largest proportion, or 35.4 per cent, while the Spanish households constitute the lowest proportion, or 30.7 per cent, of the total number of households. MEMBERS OF HOUSEHOLDS FOR WHOM DETAILED INFORMATION WAS SECURED. The following table shows, by general nativity and race of head of household, persons in households studied and persons for whom detailed information was secured: TABLE 4.—Persons in households studied and persons for whom detailed information was secured, by general nativity and race of head of household. Of the 561 persons in the 127 households studied in this industry, it will be seen that those in households, the heads of which are Cubans, constitute a slightly larger proportion of the total number of persons than do those in households the heads of which are Spaniards or South Italians. It will also be seen that detailed information was secured for all persons in the above households. The following table shows, by general nativity and race of head of household, the sex of persons for whom detailed information was secured in the households studied: TABLE 5.-Sex of persons for whom detailed information was secured, by general nativity and race of head of household. From the above table it will be noted that of the 561 persons in foreign-born households for whom detailed information was secured, 51.3 per cent are males and 48.7 per cent females. In Cuban households the females constitute a larger proportion of the total number of persons studied than do the males, while in South Italian and Spanish households the reverse is true, the difference in the proportion of males and females being larger in South Italian than in Cuban or Spanish households, in the order named: The following table shows, by sex and general nativity and race of individual, persons for whom detailed information was secured in the households studied: TABLE 6.-Persons for whom detailed information was secured, by sex and general nativity and race of individual. PREPARATION OF THE REPORT. In preparing the data for publication the following divisions have been made: Part I. General survey of the industry as a whole. Part II. General survey of the industry in the East. Part III. General survey of the industry in the Middle West. Part IV. General survey of the industry in the South. Part V. Detailed study of the industry in Tampa, Fla. Parts I-IV, inclusive, are based upon the information secured for employees to which has been added historical and descriptive data necessary to show the racial movements to and working conditions in the industry in the different geographical areas. The term Middle West is used to designate the States of Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin; the South, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida; and the East, the States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New York. The statistical tables for Part IV are based upon the data received both for employees and for households. A detailed study is also made of the industry in Tampa primarily for the purposes of ascertaining the relative inducements to immigration in the South as compared with the East and Middle West.
