of that shown by the husbands of any other race, with the exception of the Russians, who report 69.2 per cent. Following the Russians are the Slovaks who show a slightly larger proportion of husbands reporting wife abroad than do the North Italians, the Magyars, or the Lithuanians, a considerably larger proportion than the Poles and a much larger proportion than the South Italians and Bohemians and Moravians, the last named reporting 30.6 per cent. Of the husbands belonging to other races, the proportions range from 22 per cent of the Germans to 10 per cent of the Irish. Among those with a residence of from five to nine years, the Greeks with 42.2 per cent again show the largest proportion of husbands reporting wife abroad. These are followed by the Slovaks, South Italians, Lithuanians, Russians, and North Italians, the last named reporting 16.4 per cent. No Bohemian and Moravian, Canadian other than French, English, or Irish and only small proportions of the husbands of the other races with this period of residence report wife abroad. Of those who have been in the United States ten years or over the Greeks again show the largest proportion, or 37.5 per cent. They are followed by the South Italians and Slovaks, who show a larger proportion reporting wife abroad than the Magyars and a considerably larger proportion than is shown by the husbands of any other race.

The percentage of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad is shown in the following table according to locality and to race of husband:

TABLE 70.-Per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife abroad, by locality and by race of husband.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[This table includes only races with 40 or more husbands reporting in each of two or more localities. The total, however, is for all foreign-born.]

[blocks in formation]

The above table shows that 17.9 per cent of the foreign-born husbands in the East, 11.7 per cent of those in the Middle West, and 12.5 per cent of the total number for whom information was secured report wife abroad. The Slovak husbands show 39.2 per cent who report wife abroad, the South Italian and North Italian husbands show 25.3 per cent and 25 per cent, respectively, and the Polish husbands 12.9 per cent, who report wife abroad. Of the English husbands 2.6 per cent, and of the Canadian (other than French), German, and Irish husbands less than 2 per cent report wife abroad. The English, North Italian, Polish, and Slovak husbands show a higher percentage

in the East who report wife abroad than in the Middle West. The Canadian (other than French) husbands in the Middle West show a small proportion who report wife abroad, while no husbands of this race in the East report wife abroad. The German, Irish, and South Italian husbands in the Middle West show a higher per cent reporting wives than in the East.

VISITS ABROAD.

The practice of foreign-born employees in returning to their native lands for visits of varying duration after designated periods of residence in this country is exhibited in the following table. The table shows, by sex, years in the United States, and race, visits abroad made by foreign-born employees.

TABLE 71.- Visits abroad made by foreign-born employees, by sex, 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 200 or more persons reporting. The total, however, is for all foreign-born.]

TABLE 71.-Visits abroad made by foreign-born employees, by sex, years in the United States, and race-Continued.

[blocks in formation]

Of the 14,132 foreign-born employees of this industry for whom information was obtained, only 10.4 per cent have made one or more visits to their native country since immigrating to the United States. Of those who have been in this country less than five years only 6 per cent have made one or more visits abroad as compared with 12 and 13 per cent of those who have been in the United States from 'five to nine years and ten years or over, respectively. The males, it will be noted, show the same proportion with a residence of under five years and from five to nine years and only a slightly larger proportion with a residence of ten years or over as having made one or more visits abroad than is shown by the total for all employees. On the other hand, the females show a slightly larger proportion of those with a residence of less than five years, a slightly smaller proportion with a residence of from five to nine years and ten years or over than is shown for all employees.

Of the males, the proportions with a residence of less than five years who have made one or more visits abroad range from 10.2 per cent for the North Italians to 1.8 per cent for the Bohemians and Moravians. The differences in proportion, however, are much more marked among the various races the representatives of which have been in the United States from five to nine years and ten years or over. In the period of from five to nine years the tendency on the part of the North Italians and South Italians to visit their native land is slightly stronger than on the part of the Danes and English, in the order named, and, with the exception of the Slovaks, it is very much stronger than on the part of any other of the more recent immigrant races. This is also true of the North Italians among those who have been in the United States ten years or over, except that in addition to the Slovaks, the Greeks show a very large proportion as having made one or more visits abroad, the proportion of Greeks being only slightly below that of the North Italians, while the South Italians, who showed the second highest proportion in the preceding group,

is

show a proportion in this group slightly below that shown by the Slovaks. The smallest proportion with a residence of from five to nine years, 3.9 per cent, is shown by the Germans, while the smallest. proportion with a residence of ten years or over, 1.7 per cent, shown by the Bohemians and Moravians. Among the females, no Magyars, Russians, or Slovaks, and only 5.9 per cent of the Poles, 12.5 per cent of the North Italians, 16.1 per cent of the Germans, and a slightly larger proportion of the Greeks, as compared with 22.2 per cent of the Bohemians and Moravians with a residence of less than five years, have made one or more visits abroad. As between the Germans and Poles, in each succeeding period of residence the former show a slightly larger proportion having made one or more visits abroad than the latter. The totals in the preceding table are a combination of the proportion of males and females in each period of residence group and are presented so that a comparison may be made, irrespective of sex, of the tendency of the various races toward visiting their native country.

The following table shows the percentage of foreign-born employees reporting one or more visits abroad, by locality and by race:

TABLE 72.-Per cent of foreign-born employees reporting 1 or more visits abroad, by locality

and by race.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[This table includes only races with 200 or more reporting in each of two or more localities. The total, however, is for all foreign-born.]

[blocks in formation]

The preceding table shows that 17.2 per cent of the foreign-born employees in the East, 9.3 per cent of those in the Middle West, and 10.4 per cent of the employees in the total industry, concerning whom information was secured, have made one or more visits abroad. A higher percentage of the Irish in the Middle West than in the East and a higher percentage of the Poles in the East than in the Middle West report one or more visits abroad.
