Of 1,819 employees shown in the above table, 53.8 per cent are native whites born of native father, 26.3 per cent are native-born of foreign father, 19.7 per cent are of foreign birth, and 0.1 per cent are negroes who are native-born of native father. The table further shows that among the employees who are native whites born of native father and those who are native-born of foreign father, information was secured from a higher percentage of females than of males. The foreign-born employees show a considerably higher percentage of males than of females, while no information was secured from any females who are native negroes born of native father. Of the employees who are native-born of foreign father, those whose fathers were born in Ireland, Germany, and England show 8.6 per cent, 7.1 per cent, and 5.6 per cent, respectively, while no employees whose fathers were born in other specified countries exhibit over 2 per cent of the total number for whom information was secured. In the majority of cases, information was secured in this group from a higher percentage of females than of males. Of the foreign-born employees, the Germans show 2.7 per cent, the English 3.5 per cent, and the South Italians and the Irish 2.9 per cent and 2.2 per cent, respectively, while no employees who are of other specified races show over 2 per cent of the total number for whom information was secured. In this group, in all except one instance, information was secured for a higher percentage of males than of females.

From the foregoing table it will be noted that of the 1,423 male employees of this industry concerning whom information was obtained the foreign-born constitute 61.1 per cent and the nativeborn of foreign father 34.4 per cent, while the native-born of native father, white, constitute the remaining proportion of less than 5 per cent.

Considering only those races the representatives of which constitute as much as 1 per cent of all employees it will be seen that among the foreign-born the Poles constitute 34.9 per cent, a proportion largely in excess of that constituted by the Germans, who show the next largest proportion, or 14 per cent. The proportions constituted by the other foreign-born races range from 4.1 per cent of the Slovenians to 1.1 per cent each of the Irish and Lithuanians.

Among the native-born of foreign father only those whose fathers were born in Germany, Ireland, Russia, and England constitute each as much as 1 per cent of all employees. Those whose fathers were born in Germany constitute a very much larger proportion than those whose fathers were born in the other specified countries combined, the proportions of those whose fathers were born in the other specified countries ranging from 3.9 to 1.2 per cent.

CHAPTER III.

RACIAL DISPLACEMENTS.

Period of residence in the United States of foreign-born employees in the manufacture of carpets, cars, cutlery and tools, electrical supplies, electric railways, firearms, foundry and machine shops, knit goods and hosiery, locomotives, paper and wood pulp, paper products, rope twine and hemp, sewing machines, steam railways, typewriters, and zinc smelting and refining [Text Tables 25 to 45 and General Tables 29 to 56].

PERIOD OF RESIDENCE IN THE UNITED STATES OF FOREIGN-BORN

EMPLOYEES.

The series of tabulations submitted in the present chapter set forth the period of residence in the United States of employees in 16 specified industries. The length of residence in the United States of an employee of a certain industry and the period of his employment in the industry are not necessarily identical, but they approximate each other sufficiently to indicate the character of recent and past immigration to the industry.

The detailed exhibit according to industries is as follows:

CARPETS.

The table first submitted shows, by sex and race, the per cent of foreign-born employees engaged in carpet manufacturing who had been in the United States each specified number of years.

TABLE 25.—Per cent of foreign-born employees in the United States each specified number

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

By years in the United States is meant years since first arrival in the United States. No deduction is made for time spent abroad. This table includes only races with 80 or more persons reporting. The total, however, is for all foreign-born.}
