Of the 2,198 individuals reporting complete data, 18.8 per cent are under 6 years of age, 14.9 per cent are between 6 and 13 years, 3.3 per cent between 14 and 15, 6.2 per cent between 16 and 19, 21.8 per cent between 20 and 29, 20 per cent are from 30 to 44, and 14.9 per cent are 45 years or over. The greater proportion of all three groups native-born of native father, white, native-born of foreign father, and foreign-born, are all over 20 years of age. This observation also holds good regarding the Flemish, Germans, Magyars, and Swedes, whereas the Hebrews and Poles show a slightly larger proportion who are under 20 years of age. Of 1,064 females, 19.3 per cent are under 6 years of age, 16.6 per cent between 6 and 13, 3.2 per cent between 14 and 15, 6 per cent between 16 and 19, 24.2 per cent between 20 and 29 years, 17 per cent between 30 and 44 years, and 13.6 per cent are 45 years of age or over. Substantially the same condition as to age groups prevails among the females as was noted in the general total; thus the greater proportion of all races excepting the Magyars and Poles are over 20 years of age. The table shows that out of 1,134 males 18.4 per cent are under 6 years of age, 13.2 per cent between 6 and 13, 3.4 per cent between 14 and 15, 6.3 per cent between 16 and 19, 19.6 per cent between 20 and 29, 22.8 per cent between 30 and 44, and 16.1 per cent 45 years or over. As in the case of the grand totals and the totals of the females noted in the preceding paragraphs, the major proportion of the males in all racial groups excepting the Germans and Poles are over 20 years of age.

The following table shows, by sex and general nativity and race, percentage of employees within each age group:

Of 26,795 persons employed in the manufacture of agricultural implements and vehicles, a difference of less than 5 per cent is shown between the proportions who are from 20 to 24, 25 to 29, or 35 to 44 years of age. Almost the same proportion are from 30 to 44 or 45 to 54 years of age and less than 10 per cent are either from 14 to 19 years of age or 55 years of age or over. Of the different nativity groups the native-born of foreign father show the largest and the foreign-born the smallest proportion who are from 14 to 19 years age; the native-born of foreign father again show the largest proportion, while the native negroes born of native father show the smallest who are from 20 to 24 years of age. A difference of less than 5 per cent is shown between the proportions of each nativity group who are from 25 to 29 or 30 to 34 years of age, while the native negroes born of native father show the largest and the nativeborn of foreign father the smallest proportion who are from 35 to 44, 45 to 54, or 55 years of age or over.

The most noticeable feature in connection with the several foreignborn races is the large proportion of English, German, Irish, Norwegian, Scotch, and Swedish employees who are 55 years of age or over and the large proportion of Ruthenians who are under 20 years

of age.

A larger proportion of the total number of the females than of the total number of males are from 14 to 19 or 20 to 24 years of age, while the males show a larger proportion than the females within each other specified age group. This statement applies also to each nativity group except the native negroes born of native father, which is composed entirely of males. A comparison between the males and females of each race shows that the proportion of males within each specified age group, beginning with the one including those who are from 35 to 44 years of age, is decidedly larger than the proportion of females. It is noticeable that all of the Croatian female employees are under 20 years of age.
