In the next table presented, the per cent of persons in the households studied in each conjugal condition, is shown, according to sex, age groups, and general nativity and race of individual.

Of the 4,895 husbands in this industry for whom information was obtained, by far the largest proportion, or 74.5 per cent, report wife in the United States.

The tendency of married males of foreign-birth, who left their wives abroad when they immigrated to this country, to send for them after designated periods of residence in the United States is set forth in the following table, which shows, by race of husband and by years husband has been in the United States, the per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad.
