TABLE 179.- Visits abroad made by foreign-born male employees, by years in the United States and race.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[By years in the United States is meant years since first arrival in the United States. This table includes only races with 100 or more males reporting. The total, however, is for all foreign-born.]

[blocks in formation]

From the percentage table it appears that 12.5 per cent of the foreign-born male employees for whom information was secured who have been in the United States under five years have made one or more visits abroad, as compared with 10.4 per cent of the employees who have been here from five to nine years, 35.7 per cent of the employees who have been here ten years or over, and 15.4 per cent of all foreignborn male employees. The proportion of employees who have been in the United States from five to nine years, who have made visits abroad, is slightly larger for the South Italians than for all foreignborn employees, but the proportion of employees who have been here under five years who have made visits abroad is much larger for all the total foreign-born than for the South Italians. None of the South Italians who have been here ten years or over have made visits abroad.

AGE CLASSIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES.

As regards the age characteristics of the operating force of the Alabama iron ore mines, the following table shows, by general nativity and race, the percentage of male employees within each age

group.

race.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[This table includes only races with 40 or more males reporting. The totals, however, are for all races.]

[blocks in formation]

It appears from the foregoing table that 1 per cent of the male employees for whom information was secured are under 14 years of age, 13.1 per cent from 14 to 19, 19.1 per cent from 20 to 24, 19.9 per cent from 25 to 29, 15.3 per cent from 30 to 34, 18 per cent from 35 to 44, 11.6 per cent from 45 to 54, and only 2 per cent 55 or over. The proportion of employees from 14 to 19 and from 25 to 29 years years of age, respectively, is largest for the whites native-born of native father, second largest for the negroes native-born of native father, and smallest for the foreign-born; the proportion of employees from 20 to 24 years of age is largest for the whites native-born of native father, second largest for the foreign-born, and smallest for the negroes native-born of native father; the proportion of employees from 35 to 44 years of age is largest for the negroes native-born of native father, second largest for the whites native-born of native father, and smallest for the foreign-born; and the proportion of employees from 30 to 34, from 45 to 54, and 55 years of age or over, respectively, is largest for the foreign-born, second largest for the negroes native-born of native father, and smallest for the whites native-born of native father. A larger proportion of the North Italians than of the South Italians are from 20 to 24, from 25 to 29, and from 35 to 44 years of age, respectively, and a larger proportion of the South Italians than of the North Italians are from 14 to 19, from 30 to 34, from 45 to 54, and 55 years of age or over, respectively.

CHAPTER V.

GENERAL PROGRESS AND ASSIMILATION.

Citizenship-Ability to speak English. [Text Tables 181 to 186 and General Table 119].

CITIZENSHIP.

Relative to the extent to which foreign-born miners are manifesting an interest in citizenship, the following table shows, by race of individual, the present political condition of foreign-born male employees who have been in the United States five years or over and who were 21 years of age or over at time of coming to this country. Of the 33 foreign-born male employees for whom information was secured, as can be seen from the table below, only 5 were fully naturalized and 7 had first papers only.
