UNDER 5 YRS.

=20 YRS. OR OVER

Of the 4,350 persons employed in the silk manufacturing industry, the largest proportion, or 29.4 per cent, have been in the United States twenty years or over, less than 10 per cent having had a period of residence of each specified number of years under five the same proportion, or 16.8 per cent, have resided in the United States from five to nine or from fifteen to nineteen years, 15.2 per cent having had a period of residence of from ten to fourteen years. The proportions of the members of races of old immigration who have been in the United States twenty years or over range from 59.1 per cent of the Scotch to 25.5 per cent of the French Canadians, while the proportions of the races of more recent immigration range from 12 per cent of the North Italians to 2.4 per cent of the Poles. Comparing the total number of male and female employees it is seen that a smaller proportion of the males have been in the United States each specified number of years under twenty, while a smaller proportion of the females have been in the United States twenty years or over.

The table next presented shows, by race of individual, the percent of foreign-born persons in the households studied who have been in the United States each specified number of years.

The preceding table shows that information was secured from a total of 6,089 employees-2,951 of whom are males and 3,138 of whom are females. Of the males, 65.7 per cent are of foreign birth, 24.5 per cent are native-born of foreign parentage, and 9.8 per cent are native-born of native parentage. Of the females, 43.8 per cent are native-born of foreign parentage, 36.7 per cent are of foreign birth, and 19.5 per cent are native-born of native parentage. Considering the foreign-born by race, it is seen that the Germans show the largest proportion of both males and females, with 13.8 per cent of the former and 8.4 per cent of the latter. Certain races report no males and certain other races no females. The difference between the proportion of males and the proportion of females of a given race is not large enough to require specific comparison.

The table below shows in a representative form the racial make-up at the present time of the silk goods manufacturing establishments of the various localities studied.

It appears from the above table that of the employees for whom information was secured 56.5 per cent of the males and 23.8 per cent of the females are foreign-born, 27.6 per cent of the males and 53 per cent of the females are native-born of foreign father, and 15.9 per cent of the males and 23.2 per cent of the females are nativeborn of native father. Males whose fathers were born in Germany, England, Ireland, and the Netherlands, and females whose fathers were born in Ireland, Germany, England, Russia, and AustriaHungary, have the largest representation among the native-born of foreign father. The principal races of the foreign-born are, in the case of the males, the Germans, North Italians, English, Russian Hebrews, and South Italians, in the order mentioned, and in the case of the females the Germans, North Italians, English, and Poles, in the order mentioned.
