TABLE 133.-Number of male employees 18 years of age or over earning each specified amount per day, by general nativity and race and years in the United States.*

*This table shows wages or earnings for the period indicated, but no account is taken of voluntary lost time or lost time from shutdowns or other causes. In the various tables in this report showing annual earnings allowance is made for time lost during the year.

TABLE 133.—Number of male employees 18 years of age or over earning each specified amount per day, etc.-Continued.

Information was obtained concerning the earnings of 556 males 18 years of age or over employed in this plant. Of these males, the number earning less than $2 per day is but slightly below the number earning $2 or over. Of those earning under $2, over 76 per cent earn from $1.50 to $1.75 per day, the number earning this amount being very largely in excess of the number earning any other specified amount. Of those earning $2 or over, the largest number earn from $2 to $3, the number earning from $2.50 to $3 being identical with that earning from $3 to $4, while the number earning $4 or over is only slightly below that earning from $2.50 to $3 per day. As between the foreign-born and the native-born of foreign father, it will be noted that, with the exception of a very much larger proportion of the former than the latter earning from $1.50 to $1.75, the proportions earning each specified amount vary very little one from the other. As regards the white persons native-born of native father, on the other hand, the proportions earning each specified amount are, without a single exception, very nearly the same as the proportions shown for the native-born of foreign father.

By referring to the preceding table, it will be seen that as the length of residence increases the general tendency on the part of the foreignborn is toward increased earnings. Because of the very small number of each race concerning whom information was obtained among the persons native-born of foreign father, no definite conclusions as to the relative earning ability of these races may be

drawn.

The table next presented shows the number of female employees 18 years of age or over who were earning each specified amount per day, by general nativity and race and period of residence in the United

States.

TABLE 134.-Number of female employees 18 years of age or over earning each specified amount per day, by general nativity and race and years in the United States.*

Among the foreignborn, two Belgians (race not specified) and three Germans, while among the native-born of foreign father, three females, whose fathers Belgium, England, and France, earn from $1 to $1.25 per day, the native whites, born of native father, also reporting one female earning
