a Not computed, owing to small number involved.

Of the persons 20 to 29 years of age, it will be noted that the proportions of single males, as a rule, are much lower than those of the females, which is true also of those 30 to 44 years of age. Of those 45 years of age or over, however, the males have by far the greatest proportion. It will be noted that the proportion of single persons in each race decreases in each succeeding age group, the smallest proportions both of males and females being in the 45 years or over group, In the table next presented the per cent of persons in each conjugal condition in the households studied is set forth by sex and age groups, and by general nativity and race of individual:

[This table includes only races with 80 or more persons reporting. The totals, however, are for all races.]

Of 2,161 individuals 20 years of age or over, 83.4 per cent are married, 13.3 per cent single, and 3.3 per cent widowed. The nativeborn of foreign father, as compared with the foreign-born, show a larger proportion single, consequently a smaller proportion married, as the proportion who are widowed is only 3.6 per cent for the foreignborn and none for the native-born of foreign father. A comparison between the total number of males and females who were 20 years of age or over shows that a slightly larger proportion of the females are married and a smaller proportion single. Each foreign-born race shows a larger proportion of married and a smaller proportion of single women than men. The proportion of Bohemian and Moravian. widows is noticeably large.

A comparison by age groups shows that the proportion who are single decreases and the proportion who are married or widowed increases between the 20 to 29 and 30 to 44 year age groups, while in the 45 years of age or over group, the proportion who are single or married decreases and the proportion who are widowed increases. This comparison applies to the males as well as the females.

The distribution of married employees in the different localities is exhibited by the following table, which shows, by locality, sex, and general nativity and race the proportion of employees 20 years of age or over who were married.

The preceding table shows that 50.8 per cent of the total employees who were 20 years of age or over and from whom information was secured are married. Native-born white of native father show a

considerably smaller proportion married than foreign-born, and native-born of foreign father have a much lower per cent of persons married than native-born white of native father.

The table further shows that New York City has a considerably higher percent of employees who are married than Baltimore or Chicago, which follow in the order named. In all three localities foreign-born show the highest per cent of married persons. In Chicago and New York native-born whites of native father follow, while native-born of foreign father show the smallest per cent of employees who are married in these two localities. On the other hand, native-born of foreign father show a considerably higher per cent of married than native-born whites of native father in Baltimore. New York shows for every foreign-born race except South Italians a higher per cent married than does Chicago or Baltimore. The exception noted shows a slightly higher per cent in Chicago. Baltimore show a considerably larger proportion of Russian Hebrews and Lithuanians married than Chicago.

The total industry, and also the totals for each locality, show a much larger per cent of male employees who are married than of females. New York shows the highest per cent of both males and females who are married, followed in the order named by Baltimore and Chicago.

Although a large proportion of the foreign-born male employees are married, the significant fact in connection with their conjugal condition is that considerable numbers left their wives in their native lands when immigrating to this country. This condition of affairs is disclosed by the following table, which shows, by race of husband, the per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife in the United States and per cent who report wife abroad:

TABLE 75.-Per cent of foreign-born husbands who report wife in the United States and per cent who report wife abroad, by race of husband.

(STUDY OF EMPLOYEES.)

[This table includes only races with 40 or more husbands reporting. The total, however, is for all foreignborn.]

[blocks in formation]

The foregoing table shows that 11.9 per cent of the 4,662 husbands from whom information was secured report wives abroad. Slovaks and Russians show the greatest proportions for husbands whose. wives are still in Europe, while Bohemians and Moravians and Germans show the smallest.
