PART  I— METHODS  EMPLOYED  IN  THE  COLLECTION  AND  PRESENTA- 
TION OF  DATA. 


CHAPTER  I. 
INTRODUCTION. 

The  present  report  is  a  summary  presentation  of  the  results  obtained 
from  the  study  of  the  operating  forces  of  mines  and  manufacturing 
establishments.  In  preparing  the  data  for  publication  six  general 
divisions  have  been  made.  Part  I,  or  the  present  section,  sets  forth 
the  scope  of  the  investigation  and  the  methods  employed  in  the  col- 
lection of  original  statistical  data.  Part  II  includes  a  summarization 
of  the  salient  facts  developed  by  the  study  of  the  principal  industries 
of  the  country  arranged  according  to  industries.  Part  III  is  a  sum- 
mary presentation  of  the  statistical  data  by  race  without  regard  to 
industry;  Part  IV,  the  same,  by  general  nativity  groups  and  industry. 
Parts  V  and  VI  consist  of  the  general  number  tables  upon  which  the 
statistical  material  in  Part  II  is  based.  All  the  material  is  presented 
according  to  the  same  method  and  by  the  same  series  of  chapter 
headings,  followed  in  the  reports  on  selected  industries  in  order  that 
the  data  in  all  the  industrial  reports  may  be  compared. 


CHAPTER  II. 


SCOPE  AND  METHOD  OF  THE  INDUSTRIAL  INVESTIGATION. 

Geographical  extent  of  the  investigation — The  principal  branches  of  mining  and 
manufacturing  enterprise  studied — Sources  of  information — Methods  of  investiga- 
tion— The  effect  of  the  industrial  depression. 

GEOGRAPHICAL    EXTENT    OF   THE    INVESTIGATION. 

The  investigation  of  immigrants  in  industries  included  all  the 
territory  between  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  Atlantic  seaboard. 
The  areas  principally  devoted  to  manufacturing  or  mining  were 
obviously  more  intensively  studied  than  those  in  which  agriculture 
was  the  leading  industry  and  manufacturing  and  mining  subor- 
dinate. The  States  in  which  the  investigation  was  prosecuted  in 
the  greatest  detail  were  as  follows :  ° 


Maine. 

New  Hampshire. 

Massachusetts. 

Rhode  Island. 

Connecticut. 

New  York. 

New  Jersey. 

Pennsylvania. 


Delaware. 

Ohio. 

Indiana. 

Illinois. 

Michigan. 

Wisconsin . 

Minnesota. 

Nebraska. 


Kansas. 

Missouri. 

Oklahoma. 

Florida. 

Alabama. 

Virginia. 

West  Virginia. 


THE    PRINCIPAL    BRANCHES    OF    MINING    AND    MANUFACTURING    ENTER- 
PRISE   STUDIED. 

The  principal  branches  of  mining  and  manufacturing  included  in 
the  investigation  were  as  follows : 


Bituminous  coal  mining. 

Cotton,  goods  manufacturing  in  the  North 
Atlantic  States. 

Iron  and  steel  manufacturing. 

Slaughtering  and  meat  packing. 

Clothing  manufacturing. 

Glass  manufacturing. 

Woolen  and  worsted  goods  manufactur- 
ing. 

Oil  refining. 

Copper  mining  and  smelting. 

Leather  tanning,  currying,  and  finishing. 

The  manufacture  of  boots  and  shoes. 

Silk  goods  manufacturing  and  dyeing. 

Glove  manufacturing. 

Furniture  manufacturing. 

Collar,  cuff,  and  shirt  manufacturing. 

Sugar  refining. 

Iron-ore  mining. 

The  manufacture  of  cigars  and  tobacco. 


The  manufacture  of  agricultural  imple- 
ments and  vehicles. 
Anthracite  coal  mining. 
The  floating  immigrant  labor  supply. 
Carpets. 
Cars. 

Cutlery  and  tools. 
Electrical  supplies. 
Electric  railways. 
Firearms . 

Foundry  and  machine  shop  products. 
Hosiery  and  knit  goods. 
Locomotives. 
Paper  and  wood  pulps. 
Paper  products. 
Rope,  twine,  and  hemp. 
Sewing  machines. 
Steam  railways. 
Typewriters. 
Zinc  smelting  and  refining. 


A  special  study  was  made  of  Immigrants  in  Agriculture.    See  volumes  21  and  22.

8  The  Immigration  Commission. 

SOURCES    OF   INFORMATION. 

In  collecting  original  data  the  sources  of  statistical  information 
used  were:  (1)  The  employer  or  industrial  establishment;  (2)  the 
individual  employee;  (3)  the  family  or  household  of  the  employee; 
and  (1)  records  of  local  officials,  organizations,  and  institutions.0 
More  general  data  bearing  upon  the  tendencies  exhibited  by  immi- 
grant races  in  American  communities  and  other  facts  not  suscep- 
tible of  statistical  presentation  were  secured  by  direct  observation 
or  by  interviews  with  responsible  persons  among  the  native  American 
and  alien  population. 

METHODS    OF    INVESTIGATION. 

The  general  method  employed  in  the  study  of  immigrants  in 
industry  was  to  proceed  upon  the  basis  of  certain  selected  industries, 
the  geographical  extent  of  the  investigation  being  conditioned  upon 
the  geographical  distribution  of  the  industries  studied.  In  no  case 
was  an  investigation  made  with  a  community  or  locality  as  its  sole 
basis.  Communities  or  localities  were  studied  for  the  reason  only 
that  they  represented  localization  or  specialization  in  certain  branches 
of  mining  or  manufacturing. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  field  work  of  the  industrial  investigation 
it  was  considered  impossible  to  secure  a  general  census  or  conduct 
an  exhaustive  industrial  investigation  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains. 
Most  of  the  immigrants  of  recent  arrival  were  living  and  working  in 
this  territory,  and  it  was  thought  that  a  detailed  investigation  would 
require  an  outlay  of  funds  and  a  period  of  time  beyond  the  field  plans 
of  the  Commission.  Moreover,  the  decision  was  reached  that  inten- 
sive studies  would  be  more  profitable  and  yield  better  results  for  a 
given  outlay  of  time  and  money  than  broader  and  more  superficial 
investigations.  The  investigations  in  the  East  were  therefore 
planned  along  special  lines.  Special  topics  were  assigned  for  inves- 
tigation and  agents  in  numbers  corresponding  to  the  importance  and 
scope  of  the  subject  to  be  investigated  were  charged  with  the  work 
of  collecting  the  necessary  data.  Among  these  special  topics,  those 
of  industrial  significance  were  as  follows:  (1)  Trade  unions;  (l2) 
labor  and  employment  agencies;  (3)  the  floating  immigrant  labor 
supply;  (4)  immigrant  banks  and  steamship  agencies;  (5)  exploi- 
tation; and  (6)  economic  effects  of  immigration. 

After  the  industrial  field  work  had  been  started  along  these  inde- 
pendent and  special  lines,  it  was  soon  discovered  that  for  a  given 
expenditure  of  time  and  money  a  larger  extent  of  territory  could  be 
covered  and  information  secured  for  a  greater  number  of  families 
and  individuals  by  placing  the  special  investigations,  so  far  as  the 
field  work  was  concerned,  under  the  same  supervision.  At  the  same 
time,  it  was  seen  that  the  original  plan  for  presenting  for  publication 
the  material  collected  under  special  topics  could  still  be  maintained. 
Moreover,  by  combining  under  a  centralized  control  the  different

by  a  series  of  schedules.  A  reproduction  of  each  of  the  schedules  used,  together  with

groups  of  agents  in  the  field,  it  was  also  evident  that  overlapping  of 
territory  and  duplication  of  travel  would  be  obviated,  for  the  reason 
that  the  agents  in  a  community  could  secure  information  upon  all 
topics  to  be  studied  and  render  unnecessary  the  visiting  of  the  com- 
munity by  each  of  the  several  agents  who  might  be  pursuing  special 
lines  of  inquiry.  It  was  also  soon  made  evident  that  the  special 
inquiry  into  the  economic  effects  of  immigration  was  basic  and  that 
other  investigations  of  industrial  import  should  be  grouped  around 
and  worked  along  with  the  fundamental  economic  inquiry. 

The  so-called  economic  investigation  was  originally  planned  to 
show  the  economic  effects  resulting  from  the  injection  of  large  num- 
bers of  recent  immigrants  into  the  industrial  system  of  the  United 
States,  the  reasons  for  the  employment  of  immigrants,  racial  dis- 
placements caused  by  their  employment,  and  other  questions  of 
similar  import.  In  brief,  the  investigation  had  for  its  object  the 
study  of  the  effects  of  recent  immigration  upon  American  workmen. 
The  methods  employed  were:  (1)  To  select  representative  commu- 
nities in  which  leading  industries  were  localized  and  to  which  recent 
immigrants  had  come  and  had  found  employment  in.  considerable 
numbers;  and  (2)  to  make,  by  the  use  of  the  schedules  outlined  above, 
a  detailed  census  of  the  employees  of  the  local  industries,  and  an 
intensive  study  of  working  and  living  conditions  in  the  communities 
thus  selected,  for  the  purpose  of  fulfilling  the  objects  of  the  investi- 
gation. By  exercising  sufficient  care  in  selecting  communities  of 
a  representative  type  in  leading  industries,  it  was  thought  that  the 
economic  effects  of  recent  immigration  could  be  adequately  ascer- 
tained. 

The  economic  investigation  was  started  during  the  early  summer 
of  the  year  1908.  As  the  field  work  advanced  it  soon  became  evident 
that  the  investigation  of  the  economic  effects  of  immigration,  as 
stated  before,  was  fundamental  relative  to  the  other  industrial 
studies,  and  that  much  time  and  expense  could  be  obviated  by 
bringing  the  other  special  topics  of  inquiry  under  the  same  super- 
vision as  the  economic  investigation.  This  policy  was  finally  decided 
upon  and  the  different  branches  of  the  industrial  work  grouped 
together,  so  far  as  the  gathering  of  the  data  was  concerned.  In  con- 
ducting the  work,  the  special  investigations,  as  of  immigrant  banks 
and  employment  agencies,  were  based  so  far  as  possible  upon  the 
localities  in  which  the  economic  investigation  was  being  conducted, 
and  all  classes  of  field  work  were  made  to  contribute  to  each  other, 
thus  preventing  overlapping  of  territory,  duplication  of  travel  by 
field  -agents,  and  other  items  of  unnecessary  expense. 

In  connection  with  the  policy  of  expediting  the  work  and  decreas- 
ing the  expense  of  the  field  work,  an  additional  fact  came  to  light— 
the  possibility  of  extending  the  investigation  to  cover  a  wider  range 
of  territory,  a  greater  number  of  industrial  establishments,  and  a 
larger  number  of  employees.  In  the  economic  investigation  as 
before  explained  it  was  planned  to  make  a  census  of  the  employees 
of  the  industrial  establishments  in  the  communities  selected  for 
study.  This  census  was  to  be  made  by  means  of  individual  sched- 
ules which  were  distributed  and  filled  out  through  the  cooperation 
of  the  establishments  and  their  employees.  The  idea  suggested 
itself,  therefore,  of  going  beyond  the  communities  selected  for  inten-

sive  study  and  by  securing  the  cooperation  of  large  corporations 
and  employers  to  obtain  data  from  a  la.rge  number  of  industria.l 
\\orkers  at  small  expense  to  the  commission.  The  data  thus  obtained 
would  cover  more  cases  and  consequently  it  was  thought  would  make 
it  possible  to  draw  conclusions  along  certain  lines.  With  these 
objects  in  view  the  special  investigations  were  merged  into  the 
economic  investigation,  the  economic  investigation  itself  extended, 
as  above  described,  and  designated  as  the  industrial  investigation. 
The  change  of  plan  was  inaugurated  in  September,  1908,  after  the 
economic  investigation  had  been  in  progress  only  a  few  months. 

With  the  exception  of  the  extension  of  the  territory  in  which  to 
collect  data  from  individual  employees,  the  same  general  plans  were 
followed  in  the  industrial  investigation  as  had  been  adopted  in  the 
economic. 

Representative  communities  were  selected  for  detailed  study  by 
the  following  methods:  (1)  By  preliminary  reports  made  under  the 
direction  of  the  agent  in  charge  of  the  investigation;  (2)  by  studying 
the  manifests  of  incoming  aliens  in  order  to  ascertain  the  destina- 
tion of  large  groups  or  numbers;  and  (3)  by  consulting  the  special 
reports  of  the  Census  Bureau  on  manufactures  in  order  to  ascertain 
the  localization  of  leading  industries.  By  way  of  illustrating  this 
method  a  concrete  case  may  be  cited.  By  consulting  the  Census 
reports,  it  was  ascertained  that  locality  A,  Pennsylvania,  from  an 
industrial  standpoint,  was  81  per  cent  glass,  or,  in  other  words,  of 
all  the  industrial  activities  carried  on,  and  of  all  capital  employed 
in  locality  A,  the  glass  industry  embraced  over  four-fifths.  It 
was,  therefore,  clear  that  as  regards  the  glass  industry  locality  A 
was  a  t}^pical  and  representative  community,  and  this  fact  was 
corroborated  by  reference  to  trade  lists  and  directories.  The  only 
question  which  remained,  therefore,  wTas  as  to  the  status  of  locality  A 
from  the  standpoint  of  recent  immigration.  In  this  connection  a 
preliminary  report  revealed  the  fact  that  a  large  percentage  of  the 
population,  as  wrell  as  the  employees  of  the  local  glass  factories, 
were  made  up  of  races  which  had  recently  come  to  the  United  States. 
Consequently  locality  A  wras  selected  for  detailed  study  in  con- 
nection with  the  glass  industry  as  a  representative  immigrant  com- 
munity. In  the  case  of  a  few  communities  the  procedure  as  described 
above  wras  reversed,  for  the  reason  that  communities  were  at  first  sug- 
gested for  investigation  because  a  study  of  the  manifests  of  incoming 
aliens  disclosed  the  fact  that  large  groups  of  immigrants  gave  the 
localities  as  their  destination.  Under  this  reversal  of  procedure, 
however,  the  basis  of  selection  was  practically  the  same. 

The  communities  thus  selected  were  made  the  basis  for  investi- 
gating the  families  and  households  of  the  industrial  workers  and 
were  also  studied  with  great  thoroughness  with  the  object  of  secur- 
ing material  for  the  special  report  on  the  economic  effects  of  immi- 
gration. An  agent  in  charge  of  the  individual  card  work  was  first 
assigned  to  the  community  selected  with  instructions  to  secure  the 
consent  of  the  industrial  establishments  for  the  taking  of  a  census 
of  their  employees.  After  the  cooperation  of  the  officials  of  the 
local  industries  had  been  secured,  and  if  the  schedules  distributed 
to  the  employees  were  filled  out  and  returned  with  the  usual  prompt- 
ness, the  addresses  and  races  given  on  them  were  used  in  appor-

tioning  and  collecting  family  schedules  from  the  locality.  If  the 
schedules,  however,  were  not  immediately  forthcoming,  the  pre- 
liminary report,  which  showed  total  population  and  families,  by 
races,  was  used  in  apportioning  the  number  of  family  schedules  to 
be  secured.  In  this  event,  interpreters,  ministers,  priests,  and  other 
persons  familiar  with  the  immigrant  population  were  relied  upon 
for  securing  addresses  of  families  of  the  various  races  to  be  studied 
by  means  of  the  family  or  household  schedules.  The  data  relative 
to  the  households  were  secured  by  special  agents  who  used  inter- 
preters to  interrogate  the  several  races. 

The  individual  schedules  or  cards  secured  from  the  employees  of 
industrial  establishments  gave  a  complete  census,  or  returns  at 
least,  for  the  larger  number  of  industrial  workers  in  the  community. 
The  family  schedule,  which  as  compared  with  the  individual  sched- 
ule was  detailed  and  extensive  in  the  inquiries  made,  was  designed 
for  intensive  study  in  connection  with  carefully  selected  represent- 
ative families.  Moreover,  as  the  number  which  might  be  secured 
was  limited  because  of  the  time  and  expense  involved,  the  family 
schedules,  in  addition  to  being  apportioned  by  races,  were  also 
apportioned:  (1)  By  industries;  and  (2)  by  communities;  the 
standards  of  distribution  being:  (1)  The  extent  to  which  a  certain 
race  was  engaged  in  a  specific  industry;  and  (2)  the  proportion 
which  a  certain  race  bore  to  the  total  foreign  population  of  a  certain 
locality.  The  number  of  schedules  assigned  to  each  race  was  also 
divided  into  certain  numbers  for  families  of  certain  periods  of  resi- 
dence in  the  United  States.  This  method  of  apportionment  was 
adopted  because  it  would  not  only  enable  families  of  similar  races 
to  be  secured  from  different  geographical  divisions  and  environ- 
ments but  would  also  permit  tabulations  to  be  made:  (1)  By  races; 
(2)  by  industries ;  and  (3)  by  localities.  Schedules  of  families  whose 
heads  were  native-born  and  employed  in  the  same  industry  as  immi- 
grant heads  of  households  were  also  assigned  in  numbers  sufficient 
for  comparison  with  the  foreign-born. 

In  addition  to  the  individual  cards,  family  schedules,  and  other 
material  gathered  for  statistical  presentation,  supplementary  data 
in  the  form  of  community  reports,  industrial  notes,  special  studies, 
and  transcriptions  of  pay  rolls  were  secured.  Some  of  the  com- 
munity reports  were  very  exhaustive  in  their  treatment  and  covered 
every  phase  of  contact  and  influence  of  recent  immigration  upon 
American  life  and  institutions.  In  making  a  study  of  the  estab- 
lishments and  in  securing  transcriptions  of  pay  rolls,  special  forms, 
as  already  described,  were  used.  In  some  localities,  studies  of  the 
wage  scale  of  the  industrial  plants  were  also  made  for  a  period  of 
25  or  30  years  with  a  view  to  ascertaining  what  effect,  if  any,  the 
employment  of  recent  immigrants  had  had  upon  the  wages  of  Amer- 
ican workmen.  Other  similar  lines  of  work  were  conducted  with 
the  purpose  of  tracing  out  the  results  of  racial  displacements  and 
other  subjects  of  economic  import. 

Mention  has  already  been  made  that  in  addition  to  the  purely 
community  studies  and  methods  of  work,  a  general  industrial  cen- 
sus by  means  of  the  individual  cards  was  planned.  This  result 
was  attained  by  securing  the  assistance  of  industrial  corporations

and  transportation  companies.  Special  agents  were  detailed  to  make 
arrangements  with  corporations  and  manufacturers  for  a  census  of 
their  employees.  This  work  was  very  successful,  owing  to  the  coop- 
eration of  employers  of  labor.  With  scarcely  an  exception,  small 
employers,  local  corporations,  and  large  holding  companies,  with  more 
or  less  inconvenience  and  expense,  complied  witli  the  request  of  the 
Commission.  In  the  case  of  some  of  the  large  industrial  corporations 
having  plants  in  different  parts  of  the  United  .States,  the  securing  of 
the  cards  represented  a  large  outlay  of  money  by  the  corporation,  and 
a  corresponding  saving  to  the  Commission. 

The  individual  schedule  or  cardwork  embraced  in  its  scope  the 
larger  number  of  industrial  communities  of  any  significance  east  of 
the  Rocky  Mountains.  The  data  given  on  the  cards  was  supple- 
mented by  the  gathering  of  descriptive,  historical,  and  industrial  data, 
special  agents  being  detached  from  the  community  groups  and 
assigned  to  the  collection  of  this  material. 

It  is  quickly  evident  from  a  glance  at  the  original  plans,  as  out- 
lined above,  that  the  work  was  laid  out  in  a  way  which  required  a 
long  period  of  time  for  completion.  As  a  natural  result,  when  it  was 
ordered  by  Congress  during  the  fall  of  1008  that  the  field  work  should 
be  ended  by  July  1,  1909,  considerable  changes  in  procedure  were 
necessary.  In  order  to  cover  the  territory  and  the  studies  planned, 
it  was  at  once  decided  that  the  collection  of  all  detailed  and  descrip- 
tive matter  which  was  not  absolutely  necessary  should  be  abandoned 
and  that  stress  should  be  laid  on  the  gathering  of  purely  statistical 
data  susceptible  of  presentation  in  tabulated  form.  In  accordance 
with  this  decision,  the  detailed  studies  of  communities  and  industrial 
establishments  were  curtailed,  less  emphasis  was  placed  upon  the 
special  investigation  of  the  economic  effects  of  immigration,  and  the 
efforts  of  the  field  force  concentrated  upon  securing  as  large  returns 
as  possible  by  means  of  individual  cards  from  employees  of  leading 
industries.  Descriptive  and  general  industrial  and  community  mate- 
rial was  also  gathered  in  the  form  of  limited  reports  on  establishments 
and  localities.  As  a  result  of  these  changes  in  procedure  there  was  a 
loss  in  intensive  work,  but  a  corresponding  gain  in  the  extent  of  terri- 
tory and  number  of  establishments,  individuals,  and  families  covered, 
and  the  field  work  was  brought  to  a  satisfactory  conclusion  at  the 
time  designated. 

THE    EFFECT    OF    THE    INDUSTRIAL   DEPRESSION. 

The  financial  breakdown  of  November,  1 907,  as  is  well  known,  was 
marked  by  industrial  stagnation  to  a  greater  or  less  degree  throughout 
the  country.  A  majority  of  industrial  plants  were  compelled  to  oper- 
ate with  reduced  forces  and,  in  the  case  of  some  industries,  to  shut 
down  entirely.  Fortunately,  there  was  no  important  reduction  of 
wages  in  the  leading  industries,  it  being  usually  considered  better 
policy  to  run  the  various  plants  a  shorter  period  of  time  at  the  accus- 
tomed wages  rather  than  to  close  the  plants  or  to  operate  full  time 
on  a  reduced  wage  scale.  This  was  especially  true  of  the  iron  and 
steel  industry,  and  also  of  the  coal  and  iron  ore  mining  industries, 
which  are  closely  related  to  the  iron  and  steel  trade.  By  the  begin- 
ning of  the  year  1908  the  activities  in  the  iron  and  steel  industry  had 
been  sharply  curtailed  and  a  large  number  of  men  were  thrown  out 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  13 

of  work  or  placed  on  a  short-time  basis.  This  state  of  affairs  con- 
tinued for  several  months  until  an  upward  movement  became  notice- 
able which  tended  more  and  more  toward  normal  conditions  during 
that  year,  with  practically  a  complete  revival  during  the  early  part 
of  the  year  1909. 

In  the  coal  industry  the  anthracite  district  during  the  same  period 
was  not  so  seriously  affected  as  the  bituminous  regions.  Companies 
in  Pennsylvania  which  were  engaged  in  supplying  bituminous  coal 
to  the  trans-Atlantic  trade  and  for  other  high-grade  steaming  pur- 
poses suffered  very  little  falling-off  in  demand.  The  coking-coal  and 
other  regions  of  Pennsylvania,  as  well  as  similar  districts  in  West 
Virginia,  Virginia,  and  Alabama,  were  forced  to  limit  their  output 
by  reason  of  the  depression  in  the  iron  and  steel  and  other  basic 
industries.  The  Middle  West  and  the  Southwestern  States  of  Kansas, 
Arkansas,  Oklahoma,  and  Texas  were  most  seriously  affected  in  their 
coal-mining  operations  by  reason  of  the  fact  that,  in  addition  to  the 
general  industrial  depression,  the  demand  for  coal  was  greatly  reduced 
during  1908  by  the  falling-off  in  the  domestic  consumption,  due  to  an 
open  winter  and  the  use  of  natural  gas  for  heating,  and  to  the  fact 
that  many  railroads  operating  in  this  territory  substituted  crude  oil 
for  coal  for  steaming  purposes. 

Conditions  in  the  iron-ore  mining  districts  wrere  similar  to  those 
existing  in  the  coal  regions  during  the  same  period.  This  was  espe- 
cially true  of  operations  in  Alabama.  On  the  other  hand,  during  the 
spring  of  1909,  when  conditions  in  other  parts  of  the  country  were 
favorable  to  a  revival,  a  return  to  normal  conditions  was  much 
delayed  on  the  Minnesota  and  Michigan  ranges  by  an  extensive  and 
prolonged  strike  of  men  occupied  in  the  traffic  on  the  Great  Lakes. 
In  the  case  of  industries  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  articles  for 
which  there  is  a  general  and  constant  demand,  such  as  meat  products, 
cotton,  woolen,  and  hosiery  and  knit  goods,  shoes,  furniture,  clothing, 
and  agricultural  implements,  the  influence  of  the  depression  was  not 
much  felt.  The  glass  industry  was  but  slightly  checked  in  its  opera- 
tions. Establishments  engaged  in  the  production  of  wooden  and 
steel  cars,  sheet  and  tin  plate,  wire,  novelties,  and  other  commodities, 
the  consumption  of  which  was  optional  or  dependent  upon  activity 
in  industrial  affairs,  were  very  seriously  affected  and  were  the  last 
to  resume  normal  activities. 

To  summarize  briefly  the  situation,  all  industries  with  the  excep- 
tion of  those  noted  above  were  more  or  less  restricted  during  the  last 
two  months  of  1907  and  the  first  five  months  of  1908,  after  which 
there  was  a  gradual  upward  trend  toward  normal  conditions;  the 
industries  engaged  in  the  production  of  goods  for  which  there  was  a 
fluctuating  demand  being  the  last  to  return  to  the  usual  operating 
basis. 

The  effects  of  this  general  depression  extending  over  a  number  of 
months,  upon  the  field  work  of  the  industrial  investigation  was  not 
so  great  as  might  be  expected  for  the  reason  that  the  industrial  field 
work  did  not  actually  get  underway  until  the  recovery  was  in  progress 
and  the  return  to  normal  activities  strongly  apparent.  The  investi- 
gation of  the  economic  effects  of  immigration  was  started  in  July, 
1908,  and  was  confined  to  two  steel  and  two  coal  communities — one 
bituminous  and  one  anthracite — until  the  close  of  that  year.  The

coordination  of  the  economic  and  other  special  investigations  into 
the  general  industrial  investigation  was  made  in  the  summer  of  1908, 
but  the  field  force  did  not  reach  ii^  maximum  number,  and  the.  scope 
of  the.  work  was  not  extended  beyond  the  limits  mentioned  above 
until  January,  1 '.)()<).  Moreover,  the  work  of  securing  a  general  indus- 
trial census  by  means  of  the  individual  schedules  was  not  widely 
undertaken  until  the  latter  part  of  February  of  the  same  year,  and 
the  cards  were  not  actually  filled  out  until  several  months  later. 
The  significance  of  the  depression  from  the  standpoint  of  the  field 
work,  therefore,  was  mainly  confined  to  the  three  iron  and  steel  and 
coal  communities  covered  by  the  economic  investigation.  In  the 
case  of  these  communities,  so  far  as  the  field  work  progressed  under 
the  effects  of  the  depression,  efforts  were  constantly  made  to  secure 
data  covering  normal  conditions  along  with  that  portraying  the 
existing  situation.  Family  schedule  agents  were  instructed  to  hold 
this  object  in  mind  in  carrying  on  their  work.  Recourse  was  also  had 
to  the  books  and  records  of  industrial  establishments,  and  transcrip- 
tions were  made  of  earnings  and  prices  paid  for  labor  during  past 
periods  of  industrial  activity.  From  the  accounts  of  mercantile 
establishments,  family  expenditures  were  also  secured  for  normal 
periods.  In  gathering  community  and  industrial  data,  the  normal 
situation  was  also  constantly  held  in  mind. 

Moreover,  the  leading  industries,  as  already  mentioned,  adopted 
a  policy  of  working  shorter  time  rather  than  cutting  wages.  The 
day  or  hour  wage  and  earnings  for  any  occupation  were,  therefore, 
the  same  under  abnormal  as  under  normal  conditions  of  operation. 
It  is  true  that  the  hours  worked  per  day  or  days  or  hours  per  week 
were  often  less  than  the  normal  time  and  the  earnings  correspondingly 
less,  but  in  such  cases  the  normal  earnings  were  secured  along  with 
the  abnormal.  The  only  disparity  as  compared  with  normal  con- 
ditions lay  in  the  fact  that,  owing  to  the  exigencies  of  the  situation, 
a  highly  skilled  workman,  because  of  the  depression,  might  be 
forced  to  enter  an  inferior  occupation  and  invalidate  to  that  extent 
the  normal  showing  for  a  particular  race  or  individual.  This  would 
scarcely  be  appreciable  and  need  not  be  considered  as  of  serious 
import.  Practically  95  per  cent  of  the  schedules  for  individual 
employees  were  secured  during  the  spring  and  early  summer  of  the 
year  1909,  and  wrere  not  liable  to  show  any  considerable  influence  of 
depressed  conditions  for  the  reason  that  in  most  industries  the  effects 
of  the  depression  wrere  disappearing.  Even  in  the  case  of  these  cards 
distinction  was  made  between  normal  and  abnormal  conditions  by 
requiring  the  usual  earnings  to  be  entered  along  with  the  short-time 
earnings  in  the  case  of  employees  who  were  working  under  the  effects 
of  the  depression.  The  only  instances  in  which  the  depression  and 
consequent  curtailment  of  employment  affected  the  results  obtained 
occurred  in  securing  data  relative  to  annual  earnings  and  annual 
family  income.  The  period  of  12  months  preceding  the  date  of  the 
inquiry  in  some  cases  included  several  months  of  the  period  of  indus- 
trial depression.  As  regards  industries  the  employees  of  which  were 
forced  to  undergo  loss  of  time  or  curtailment  of  earnings,  an  attempt 
was  made  to  secure  normal  results  by  substituting  a  normal  year  for 
the  period  of  12  months,  part  of  which  included  the  industrial 
depression.

INTRODUCTION. 

In  the  course  of  the  general  industrial  investigation  21  of  the  prin- 
cipal industries  of  the  country  were  extensively  and  intensively 
studied.  One  other  special  study  was  made  of  immigrants  engaged 
in  temporary  or  seasonal  occupations.  Moreover,  detailed  informa- 
tion was  secured  for  the  operating  forces  of  16  other  industries  of 
relatively  less  importance  than  the  21  mentioned  above.  These  data 
were  not  so  exhaustively  tabulated  and  are  treated  under  the  title 
of  "Diversified  industries."0  In  the  present  connection  the  salient 
facts  developed  by  the  study  of  16  of  the  principal  branches  of 
mining  and  manufacturing  enterprise  are  briefly  brought  together 
according  to  industries. 

I.    IRON    AND    STEEL   MANUFACTURING. 

Iron  and  steel  manufacturing  in  all  its  aspects  was  studied  in  the 
territory  east  of  the  Mississippi  River.  Detailed  information  was 
received  for  86,089  employess  of  the  industry,  and  an  intensive  study 
was  made  of  2,456  households  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in 
iron  and  steel  manufacturing  establishments.  Of  the  total  number 
of  employees  in  the  industry,  57.7  per  cent  were  found  to  be  of  foreign 
birth.  The  principal  races  of  old  immigration  were  the  Germans, 
with  4,426  employees  reporting,  the  Irish,  with  2,448,  and  the  Eng- 
lish, with  2,340.  The  races  of  recent  immigration  reporting  in 
largest  numbers  were  the  Slovaks,  with  9,029,  the  Poles,  with  7,897, 
the  Magyars,  with  4,675,  and  the  Croatians,  with  4,003.  Of  the  total 
number  of  iron  and  steel  workers,  28.9  per  cent  were  native-born  of 
native  father  and  13.4  per  cent  were  of  native  birth  but  foreign 
father.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees  of  foreign  birth,  only  8.6 
per  cent  had  been  employed  in  the  same  industry  abroad,  while  64.4 
per  cent  had  been  farmers  or  farm  laborers  in  their  native  countries.

18  The  Immigration  Commission. 

The  average  weekl}' wage  of  employees  18  years  of  age  or  over, 
not  taking  into  consideration  lost  tune,  was  $14.35.  Lost  time  was 
taken  into  consideration  in  computing  annual  earnings,  and  the 
average  animal  earnings  of  all  males  18  years  of  age  or  over  in  the 
households  studied  were  only  $346.  The  average  annual  earnings  of 
male  heads  of  families  were  $-10!),  and  the  average  annual  family 
income  was  $568.  As  regards  the  sources  of  family  income,  it 
was  found  that  40.5  per  cent  of  all  the  families  studied  deri\ed 
their  income  entirely  from  the  husband,  while  33.1  per  cent,  com- 
posed principally  of  southern  and  eastern  Europeans,  secured  their 
income  from  earnings  of  husbands  and  contributions  of  boarders  or 
lodgers.  The  families  whose  heads  were  native-born  more  generally 
received  contributions  of  children  than  did  those  heads  of  which 
were  born  abroad.  Of  the  total  number  of  families,  7.8  per  cent 
were  entirely  supported  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  contri- 
butions of  children.  Of  the  foreign-born  families,  41.5  per  cent 
supplemented  the  earnings  of  the  heads  by  keeping  boarders  or 
lodgers,  as  contrasted  with  only  8.3  per  cent  of  the  families  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born.  This  practice  led  to  a  high  degree 
of  congestion  within  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign- 
born.  The  average  number  of  persons  per  room  in  foreign  house- 
holds was  1.76,  as  compared  with  0.93  among  the  families  the  heads 
of  which  were  of  native  birth;  and  the  average  number  of  persons 
per  sleeping  room  in  foreign  households  was  2.89,  as  contrasted  with 
1.96  in  the  native  households.  The  average  rent  per  capita  in  for- 
eign households  was  only  $1.14  and  that  in  native  households  was 
$1.71.  Fourteen  and  seven-tenths  per  cent  of  the  foreign  house- 
holds used  all  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes,  as  against  only  3.8  per 
cent  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born.  Of  the 
families  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  20.6  per  cent  owned 
then1  homes,  as  compared  with  15.1  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of 
which  were  native-born. 

Of  the  native-born  emploj^ees  20  years  of  age  or  over,  64.6  per  cent 
were  married,  and  of  the  total  foreign-born  67.2  per  cent.  Of  the 
foreign-born  employees,  84. 2  per  cent  were  able  to  read  and  82.3  per 
cent  could  both  read  and  write.  Of  the  employees  of  foreign  birth 
who  were  of  non-English-speaking  races,  only  51.8  per  cent  were  able 
to  speak  English.  The  tendency  toward  acquiring  citizenship  among 
foreign-born  male  employees  21  years  of  age  or  over  who  had  been 
in  the  United  States  five  years  or  more  was  very  small,  only  32  per 
cent  being  naturalized  and  11.4  per  cent  having  taken  out  first 
papers.  Only  1.5  per  cent  of  foreign-born  and  3.6  per  cent  of  native- 
born  wage-earning  male  members  of  the  households  were  affiliated  with 
labor  organizations.  The  data  collected  in  connection  with  the  iron 
and  steel  industry  are  presented  in  detailed  form  according  to  the  geo- 
graphical distribution  of  the  industry.  The  main  divisions  of  the 
report  are  as  follows:  (1)  General  survey  of  the  industry  as  a  whole; 
(2)  general  survey  of  the  industry  in  the  East,  in  which  is  included 
a  detailed  study  of  the  Pittsburg  district  and  four  representative 
iron  and  steel  communities;  (3)  general  survey  of  the  industry  in 
the  Middle  West,  which  also  includes  an  intensive  study  of  a  repre- 
sentative community  in  that  section;  and  (4)  general  survey  of  the 
industry  in  the  South,  which  embraces  an  intensive  study  of  the 
Birmingham,  Alabama,  district. 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  19 

II.  SLAUGHTERING  AND  MEAT  PACKING. 

The  slaughtering  and  meat-packing  industry  was  studied  in  all  of 
the  principal  centers  of  the  Middle  West  and  the  Southwest.  Detailed 
information  was  secured  for  43,502  employees,  and  an  intensive 
study  was  made  of  1,039  households  the  heads  of  which  were  employed 
in  the  slaughtering  and  meat-packing  establishments.  It  was  found 
that  60.7  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  wage-earners  in  the  industry 
were  of  foreign  birth.  The  principal  races  of  the  old  immigration 
were  the  Germans,  with  3,338  reporting,  and  the  Irish,  with  1,899. 
Among  the  races  of  recent  immigration  the  Poles,  with  7,121,  had  by 
far  the  largest  number  reporting,  followed  by  the  Lithuanians,  with 
2,913,  and  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  with  1,777. 

Of  all  employees,  24.8  per  cent  were  of  native  birth  and  of  native 
father  and  14.5  per  cent  were  native-born  of  foreign  father.  Only 
5.1  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  male  employees  in  the  industry  had 
had  any  experience  in  the  same  kind  of  work  before  coming  to  the 
United  States,  while  58.4  per  cent  had  been  farmers  or  farm  laborers 
in  their  native  countries.  Only  0.5  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born 
female  employees  were  employed  in  this  industry  abroad,  82.8  per 
cent  having  been  farmers  or  farm  laborers.  The  average  annual  earn- 
ings of  all  males  18  years  of  age  or  over  in  the  households  studied 
were  $557;  the  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of  families 
were  $578.  The  average  annual  income  of  families  the  heads  of 
which  were  employed  in  the  industry  was  $781,  and  of  the  total 
number  of  families  studied  51.4  per  cent  depended  entirely  upon  the 
husband  for  support,  while  14.9  per  cent  derived  their  entire  income 
from  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  payments  of  boarders  or 
lodgers,  and  17.7  per  cent  from  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the 
contributions  of  children. 

A  greater  degree  of  congestion  was  found  among  the  households 
the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth  than  among  those  of  native 
birth,  due  to  the  practice  of  the  first-named  class  of  households  of 
taking  boarders  or  lodgers  in  order  to  supplement  the  family  income 
or  to  reduce  the  rent  outlay  per  person.  The  average  monthly  rent 
payments  per  capita  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign- 
born  was  only  $1.58,  as  contrasted  with  $2.19  among  native  house- 
holds. In  the  foreign  households  there  was  also  an  average  of  1.40 
persons  per  room  and  2.74  per  sleeping  room,  as  against  0.99  person 
per  room  and  2.21  persons  per  sleeping  room  in  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born.  Of  the  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  foreign-born,  2.9  per  cent  used  all  rooms  for  sleeping 
purposes.  The  ownership  of  homes  was  more  general  among  the 
foreign  than  among  the  native  families,  46.1  per  cent  of  the  former 
and  17.3  per  cent  of  the  latter  owning  their  homes. 

Of  the  total  number  of  wage-earners  in  the  industry  who  were  20 
years  of  age  or  over,  59.2  per  cent  were  married.  Of  the  foreign-born 
employees,  60.6  per  cent  were  married,  and  of  the  native-born  56.9  per 
cent.  Of  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  employees,  88.5  per  cent 
were  able  to  read  some  language,  and  86.2  per  cent  were  able  to  read 
and  write.  Only  52.1  per  cent  of  foreign-born  employees  of  non-Eng- 
lish-speaking races  were  able  to  speak  English.  Of  the  foreign-born 
wage-earners  21  years  of  age  or  over  who  had  been  in  the  United  States

five  years  or  more,  44.3  per  cent  were  naturalized  and  19.1  per  cent  had 
taken  preliminary  stops  to  become  citizens  l>y  securing  first  papers.  In 
the  households  studied  only  2.5  per  cent  of  the  wage-earning  males  of 
foreign  birth  and  4.7  per  cent  of  those  of  native  birth  wore  affiliated 
with  labor  organizations.  The  study  of  this  industry  is  presented  in 
detailed  form  as  follows:  (1)  (ionoral  survey  of  the  industry  as  a 
whole;  (2)  general  survey  of  the  industry  in  Chicago;  (3)  general 
survey  of  the  industry  in  Kansas  City;  and  (4)  general  survey  of 
the  industry  in  South  Omaha. 

III.    BITUMINOUS    COAL   MINING. 

The  operating  forces  of  the  bituminous  coal-mining  industry  were 
studied  in  Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Kansas,  Oklahoma, 
Arkansas,  Alabama,  Virginia,  and  West  Virginia.  Detailed  informa- 
tion was  secured  for  88,368  employees,  and  2,371  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  engaged  in  bituminous  mining  were  intensively  studied. 
Of  the  total  number  of  employees,  61.9  per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth, 
9.5  per  cent  were  of  native  birth  but  foreign  father,  and  28.5  per  cent 
were  native-born  persons  of  native  father.  The  principal  races  of 
old  immigration  were  the  Germans,  with  2,699  reporting,  and  the 
English,  with  2,497  reporting,  while  the  Slovaks,  with  11,318,  the 
Poles,  with  7,370,  and  the  North  Italians,  with  6,666  were  the  races 
of  recent  immigration  most  largely  represented.  Only  20.7  per  cent 
of  the  foreign-born  employees  had  had  any  experience  in  bituminous 
coal  mining  before  coming  to  this  country,  while  58  per  cent  had  been 
farmers  or  farm  laborers  abroad.  The  average  daily  wage  of  em- 
ployees 18  years  of  age  or  over  was  $2.19,  and  of  all  males  18  years 
of  age  or  over  in  the  households  studied  the  average  annual  earnings 
were  $443.  The  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of  families 
who  were  employed  in  the  industry  were  $451,  and  the  average  annual 
income  of  families  the  heads  of  which  were  working  in  the  industry 
was  $577.  Slightly  more  than  two-fifths,  or  40.6  per  cent,  of  the 
families  studies  derived  their  entire  income  from  the  earnings  of 
husbands,  while  35  per  cent  were  supported  by  the  earnings  of  hus- 
bands and  the  payments  of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  7.8  per  cent  by 
the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  contributions  of  children. 

About  the  same  proportion  of  the  employees  20  years  of  age  or  over 
in  both  nativity  groups  were  married,  the  percentage  in  the  case  of 
the  foreign-born  being  67.3  and  of  the  native-born  67.5.  Only  82.9 
per  cent  of  the  employees  of  foreign  birth  were  able  to  read  and  80.9 
per  cent  able  both  to  read  and  to  write.  Of  the  total  number  of 
loreign-born  employees  of  non-English-speaking  races,  61.2  per  cent 
were  able  to  speak  English.  Of  the  foreign-born  employees  21 
years  of  age  or  over  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  live  years  or 
more  only  26.8  per  cent  were  naturalized,  and  14.9  per  cent  were  in 
possession  of  first  papers.  Of  the  native-born  males  in  the  house- 
holds studied  55.8  per  cent,  and  of  the  foreign-born  31.8  per  cent,  were 
members  of  labor  organizations. 

Only  5  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  native  households  kept 
boarders  or  lodgers,  as  contrasted  with  43.8  per  cent  of  those  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.  Among  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth  the  average  number  of  persons 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  21 


per  room  was  1.11  and  per  sleeping  room  2.32,  as  against  1.63  persons 
per  room  and  3.02  persons  per  sleeping  room  in  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.  Of  the  native  households  2.32 
per  cent,  and  of  the  foreign  2.2  per  cent,  used  all  their  rooms  for 
sleeping  purposes.  The  greater  degree  of  congestion  in  the  latter  class 
of  households  is  also  illustrated  by  the  fact  that  the  average  monthly 
rent  payment  per  capita  was  $1.03,  as  contrasted  with  $1.73  in 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth.  Only  19.7  per 
cent  of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  as  against 
34.8  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born,  owned 
their  homes. 

The  report  upon  this  industry  consists  of  five  parts:  (1)  General 
surve}^  of  the  industry  as  a  whole,  which  consists  of  a  statistical 
summary  based  upon  the  total  number  of  employees  and  households 
studied;  (2)  survey  of  the  industry  in  Pennsylvania,  including  an 
intensive  study  of  two  representative  bituminous  coal-mining  com- 
munities; (3)  a  study  of  the  industry  in  the  Middle  West;  (4)  a  study 
of  the  industry  in  the  Southwest;  and  (5)  a  study  of  the  industry  in 
the  South,  including  an  intensive  study  of  the  Birmingham,  Alabama, 
district. 

IV.    GLASS    MANUFACTURING. 

The  glass-manufacturing  industry  was  studied  mainly  in  the  States 
of  Missouri,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  New  York,  New 
Jersey,  and  Maryland.  Four  divisions  of  the  industry,  the  manu- 
facture of  plate  glass,  window  glass,  bottles,  and  glass  tableware, 
were  included  within  the  scope  of  the  investigation.  No  establish- 
ments were  studied  in  the  southern  States  bevond  the  two  mentioned. 

^/ 

for  the  reason  that  the  operating  forces  were  principally  composed  of 
persons  of  native  birth.  Detailed  information  was  secured  for  11,615 
employees,  and  660  households  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in 
the  industry  were  intensively  studied.  Of  the  total  number  of 
employees,  39.3  per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth,  18.4  per  cent  were  of 
native  birth  but  of  foreign  father,  and  42.3  per  cent  were  native-born 
persons  of  native  father.  Among  the  races  of  old  immigration  the 
Germans,  with  709  reporting,  were  most  largely  represented,  followed 
by  the  Belgians  (race  not  specified),  with  286,  and  the  English,  with 
202.  The  Slovaks,  with  718,  the  Poles,  with  671,  and  the  South 
Italians,  with  628,  were  numerically  the  most  important  races  of 
recent  immigration. 

The  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of  families  who  were 
employed  in  the  industry  were  $596,  and  of  all  males  18  years  of  age  or 
over  in  the  households  studied  $574,  while  the  average  annual  income 
of  families  the  heads  of  which  were  working  in  the  industry  was  $755. 
Slightly  over  two-fifths,  or  44.8  per  cent,  of  the  families  studied 
derived  their  entire  income  from  the  earnings  of  husbands,  while  31 
per  cent  were  supported  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  pay- 
ments of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  10.3  per  cent  by  the  earnings  of 
husbands  and  the  contributions  of  children.  Only  8.5  per  cent  of  the 
total  number  of  native  households  studied  kept  boarders  or  lodgers, 
as  contrasted  with  41.4  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born.  Among  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
native-born  the  average  number  of  persons  per  room  was  0.80,  and 


22  The  Immigration  Commission. 

per  sleeping  room  1.87,  as  against  1.11  prisons  per  room  and  2.59  per 
sleeping  room  in  the  households  the  lu'ads  of  which  \vere  of  foreign 
birth.  Only  O.S  per  cent  of  the  native  households  and  3  per  cent  of 
the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-horn  used  all  their 
rooms  for  sleeping  purposes.  The  greater  degree  of  congestion  in  the 
latter  class  of  households  is  also  illustrated  by  the  fact  t  hat  the  average 
rent  payment  per  capita  was  SI. 44,  as  contrasted  with  $2.00  in 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth.  Of  the  foreign 
families,  29  per  cent  owneof  their  homes,  as  against  37.4  per  cent  of 
the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth.  One  per  cent  of 
the  wage-earning  males  of  foreign  birth  in  the  households  studied  and 

9.2  per  cent  of  those  native-born  were  members  of  labor  organizations. 
In  preparing  the  material  for  publication  the  data  obtained  from 

employees  and  households  were  included  in  tabulations  covering  the 
whole  industry,  and  divisions  made  according  to  the  four  branches 
of  the  industry  studied.  The  conditions  prevailing  in  different  locali- 
ties are  also  set  forth  by  two  community  studies — one  representative 
of  the  Middle  West  and  the  other  of  western  Pennsylvania. 

V.    WOOLEN    AND    WORSTED    MANUFACTURING. 

The  woolen  and  worsted  goods  manufacturing  industry  was  inves- 
tigated in  the  North  Atlantic  States.  Detailed  information  was 
secured  for  23,388  employees,  and  440  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  employed  in  the  industry  were  intensively  studied.  Of 
the  total  number  of  employees,  01.9  per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth, 
24.4  per  cent  were  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father,  and  13.7 
per  cent  were  native-born  persons  of  native  father.  The  South 
Italians,  with  3,301  reporting,  the  Poles,  with  2,159,  and  the  North 
Italians,  with  1,700,  were  the  three  principal  races  of  recent  immi- 
gration engaged  in  the  industry,  while  the  English,  with  3,783,  the 
French  Canadians,  with  3,429,  and  the  Irish,  with  2,012,  were  the 
races  of  old  immigration  represented  in  the  largest  numbers.  Of 
the  foreign-born  employees,  22.1  per  cent  of  the  males  and  41.9  per 
cent  of  the  females  had  had  experience  in  the  same  kind  of  work 
before  coming  to  this  country,  while  42.4  per  cent  of  the  male  em- 
ployees and  34.5  per  cent  of  the  female  employees  had  been  farmers 
or  farm  laborers  in  their  native  countries.  The  average  weekly  wage 
of  the  male  employees  18  years  of  age  or  over  was  $10.49,  and  of  the 
female  employees  $8.18.  The  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads 
of  families  who  were  employed  in  the  industry  were  $400,  and  of  all 
males  18  years  of  age  or  over  in  the  households  studied,  $340.  The 
average  annual  income  of  families  the  heads  of  which  were  working 
in  the  industry  was  $001.  Slightly  less  than  one-fourth,  or  24.9  per 
cent  of  the  families  studied  derived  their  entire  income  from  the 
earnings  of  husbands,  while  14.9  per  cent  were  supported  by  the 
earnings  of  husbands  and  the  payments  of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and 
13.1  per  cent  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  contributions  of  chil- 
dren. Of  the  foreign  households  33.2  per  cent  kept  boarders  or 
lodgers.  Among  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born  the  average  number  of  persons  per  room  was  0.71  and  per 
sleeping  room  1.01,  as  contrasted  with  1.19  persons  per  room  and 

2.03  persons  per  sleeping  room  in  the  households  the  heads  of  which 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  23 

were  of  foreign  birth.  Of  the  foreign  households,  0.5  per  cent  used 
all  their  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes.  In  the  latter  class  of  house- 
holds the  average  monthly  rent  payment  per  capita  was  SI. 97,  as 
against  $3.34  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth. 
Among  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth,  10  per 
cent  owned  their  homes. 

Of  the  total  number  of  native-born  employees  20  years  of  age  or 
over  42.6  per  cent,  and  of  the  foreign-born  57  per  cent,  were  married. 
Only  84.2  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  employees  were  able  to  read, 
and  82.5  per  cent  able  to  both  read  and  write.  Only  48.2  per  cent 
of  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  employees  of  non-English-speak- 
ing races  were  able  to  speak  English.  Of  the  foreign-born  employees 
21  years  of  age  or  over  who  had  been  in  the  United  State?  5  years  or 
more  only  31.6  per  cent  were  naturalized,  and  20.9  per  cent  were  in 
possession  of  first  papers.  Only  4.1  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born 
wage-earning  males,  as  contrasted  with  21.9  per  cent  of  the  native- 
born,  were  affiliated  with  labor  organizations. 

The  report  on  this  industry  consists  of  general  tabulations,  includ- 
ing the  data  received  from  all  employees  and  households  studied, 
together  with  an  intensive  study  of  a  representative  community  in 
Massachusetts  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  worsted  goods. 

VI.    SILK    GOODS    MANUFACTURING    AND    DYEING. 


Establishments  engaged  in  the  manufacturing  and  dyeing  of  silk 
goods  were  studied  in  the  States  of  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  and  New 
Jersey,  the  greater  emphasis  being  placed  upon  the  industry  in  Pater- 
son,  New  Jersey,  and  in  the  anthracite-coal  region.  The  last-men- 
tioned locality  was  intensively  studied  and  separately  presented  for 
the  reason  that  it  illustrates  the  establishment  of  an  industry  in  a 
thickly  populated  immigrant  section,  where  a  large  supply  of  cheap 
labor  is  available.  Detailed  information  was  secured  'for  12,994 
employees,  and  272  households  the  heads  of  which  were  engaged  in 
the  industry  were  closely  studied.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees, 
34.3  per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth,  44.9  per  cent  were  of  native  birth 
but  of  foreign  father,  and  20.8  per  cent  were  native-born  of  native 
father.  The  southern  and  eastern  European  races  were  represented 
in  largest  numbers  in  the  operating  forces  of  the  industry  by  the 
North  Italians,  with  644  reporting,  followed  by  the  South  Italians, 
with  270,  the  Polish  with  259,  and  the  Russian  Hebrews,  with  254. 
The  races  of  old  immigration,  from  Great  Britain  and  northern 
Europe,  were  represented  most  largely  by  the  Germans,  with  839,  the 
English,  with  599,  and  the  Dutch,  with  254.  Of  the  total  number  of 
male  operatives  who  were  born  abroad,  73.9  per  cent  were  employed 
in  textile  manufacturing  before  coming  to  the  United  States,  and  only 
6.5  per  cent  had  been  farmers  or  farm  laborers  in  their  native  coun- 
tries, while  76.1  per  cent  of  the  females  were  engaged  in  textile  manu- 
facturing abroad  and  7.5  per  cent  were  farming  or  in  farm  labor. 
The  average  weekly  wage  of  male  employees  was  $12.50  and  of 
females  $7.66.  The  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of 
families  were  $448,  and  the  average  annual  earnings  of  all  males  18 
years  of  age  or  over  in  the  households  studied  were  $431.  The 
families  the  heads  of  which  were  silk-mill  operatives  had  an  average 


24  The  Immigration  Commission. 

annual  income  of  $635.  Of  the  total  number  of  families  studied,  46 
per  cent  depended  entirely  upon  I  lie  husbands  for  support,  while 
10.1  per  cent  were  maintained  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  supple- 
mented by  the  payments  of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  H.9  per  cent 
derived  their  income  from  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  contribu- 
tions of  children.  Only  4.8  per  cent  of  the  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  native-born  kept  boarders  or  lodgers,  as  contrasted  with 
16.3  per  cent  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign 
birth.  The  average  monthly  rent  payment  per  capita  in  immigrant 
households  was  $2,  and  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born,  $2.55.  The  last-named  class  of  households  show  an  average 
of  0.74  person  per  room  and  1.76  persons  per  sleeping  room,  as 
against  1.17  persons  per  room  and  2.22  persons  per  sleeping  room  in 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born.  None  of  the 
households  studied  in  connection  with  this  industry  used  all  their 
rooms  for  sleeping  purposes.  Only  7.4  per  cent  of  the  immigrant 
families  studied  owned  their  homes,  as  contrasted  with  23.8  per 
cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born. 

Of  the  total  number  of  employees  20  years  of  age  or  over  for  whom 
information  was  received,  27.9  per  cent  of  the  native-born  and  61.1 
per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  were  married.  Foreign-born  employees 
exhibit  a  high  degree  of  literacy,  97.3  per  cent  being  able  to  read  and 
96.1  per  cent  able  to  both  read  and  write.  Of  the  total  number  of 
employees  of  foreign  birth  and  of  non-English-speaking  races,  78.8 
per  cent  were  able  to  speak  English.  Of  the  foreign-born  employees 
21  years  of  age  or  over  who  had.  been  in  the  United  States  at  least  5 
years,  61.3  per  cent  had  attained  full  citizenship,  and  18.4  per  cent 
had  secured  first  papers.  Only  3.1  per  cent  of  the  wage-earning 
males  of  foreign  birth  in  the  households  studied  and  18.2  per  cent  of 
those  of  native  birth  were  affiliated  with  labor  organizations. 

VII.    COTTON    GOODS    MANUFACTURING. 

Information  was  secured  for  a  total  of  66,800  cotton-mill  operatives 
in  the  North  Atlantic  States  and  a  detailed  study  made  of  1,061 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  cotton  goods 
manufacturing  industry.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees  68.7 
per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth,  21.8  per  cent  were  of  native  birth  but 
of  foreign  father,  and  9.4  per  cent  were  native-born  of  native  father. 
Of  the  races  of  old  immigration,  the  French  Canadians,  English, 
and  Irish  were  principally  employed,  these  races  reporting  to  the 
number  of  13,043,  5,274,  and  4,287,  respectively.  The  southern 
and  eastern  Europeans  were  represented  in  greatest  numbers  by  the 
Poles,  with  8,920,  the  Portuguese,  with  5,911,  and  the  Greeks,  with 
2,739.  Of  the  male  operatives  of  foreign  birth  15.8  per  cent,  and 
of  the  females  34.5  per  cent,  had  been  engaged  in  the  same  industry 
abroad.  On  the  other  hand,  56.2  per  cent  of  the  male  and  50.7  per 
cent  of  the  female  employees  who  were  foreign- born  had  been  farmers 
or  farm  laborers  in  their  native  countries.  The  average  weekly  wage 
for  male  employees  18  3Tears  of  age  or  over  was  $9.68  and  that  for 
females  18  years  of  age  or  over  was  $7.97.  The  average  annual  earn- 
ings of  male  heads  of  families  who  were  employed  as  cotton-mill  oper- 
atives were  $470,  and  the  average  annual  family  income  was  $791.  Of 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  25 

the  total  number  of  families  studied  32.2  per  cent  depended  entirely 
upon  the  husbands  for  their  support,  while  9.3  per  cent  were  main- 
tained by  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  payments  of  boarders  or  lodg- 
ers, and  18.9  per  cent  by  earnings  of  husbands  supplemented  by  the 
contributions  of  children.  Of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born  21.2  per  cent  had  boarders  or  lodgers,  as  against  14.5 
per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth.  The 
attempt  to  reduce  the  cost  of  living,  or  to  supplement  the  earnings 
of  the  heads  of  families  by  keeping  boarders  or  lodgers,  resulted  in 
a  high  degree  of  congestion,  especially  in  the  immigrant  households. 
The  average  number  of  persons  per  room  in  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  foreign-born  was  1.26  and  the  average  number  per  sleep- 
ing room  2.13,  as  contrasted  with  0.83  person  per  room  and  1.79  per 
sleeping  room  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born. 
The  average  monthly  rent  payment  per  capita  in  immigrant  house- 
holds was  $1.47  and  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born,  $2.41.  None  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of 
native  birth  used  all  their  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes,  while  3.3  per 
cent  of  the  immigrant  households  slept  in  all  rooms.  Of  the  families 
the  heads  of  wrhich  were  native-born,  6.9  per  cent  and  of  those  the 
heads  of  which  were  foreign-born  6.1  per  cent  owned  their  homes. 

Of  the  foreign-born  employees  57  per  cent  and  of  the  native-born 
42.6  per  cent  were  married.  Of  the  employees  of  foreign  birth,  80.6 
per  cent  were  able  to  read  and  77.8  per  cent  able  both  to  read  and 
to  wTrite.  Of  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  employees  of  non- 
English-speaking  races,  42.1  per  cent  were  able  to  speak  English. 
The  naturalized  persons  among  the  employees  of  foreign  birth  21 
years  of  age  or  over  and  resident  in  the  United  States  at  least  5  years, 
form  a  proportion  of  29.8,  while  8.8  per  cent  had  taken  out  first  papers. 
Only  7  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  wage-earning  males  in  the  house- 
holds studied  and  11.3  per  cent  of  the  native-born  were  members  of 
labor  organizations. 

VIII.    CLOTHING   MANUFACTURING. 

The  operating  forces  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  men's  and 
women's  clothing  were  studied  in  New  York,  N.  Y.,  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
Baltimore,  Md.,  and  Chicago,  111.  Both  the  factory  and  contract 
systems  were  included  in  the  investigation.  Detailed  information 
was  secured  for  19,502  employees,  and  an  intensive  study  wras 
made  of  906  households  the  heads  of  which  were  engaged  in  the 
manufacture  of  clothing.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees  in  the 
industry,  72.2  per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth,  22.4  per  cent  were 
of  second  generation,  or  native-born  of  foreign  father,  and  only  5.3 
per  cent  were  native-born  of  native  father.  Of  the  foreign-born 
employees,  the  southern  and  eastern  Europeans  were  represented  in 
the  greatest  numbers  by  the  Russian  Hebrews,  with  3,618  reporting, 
the  South  Italians,  wit,h  2,815,  and  the  Hebrews  other  than  Russian 
with  1,390.  Of  the  races  of  old  immigration  from  Great  Britain  and 
northern  Europe,  the  Germans  appeared  in  by  far  the  greatest  num- 
bers, their  656  being  followed  by  the  72  of  the  Irish  and  the  63  of  the 
Swedes.  Of  the  foreign-born  male  employees,  62.5  per  cent  had 
been  engaged  in  making  clothing  in  their  native  countries  and  75.6 


26  The  Immigration  Commission. 

per  cent  of  the  females  were  engaged  in  needlework  of  some  kind 
abroad.  The  average  weekly  earnings  of  male  employees  18  years 
of  age  or  over  were  s  1 :;.:!()  and  of  females  SS.02.  The  average  annual 
earnings  of  male  heads  of  families  were  $530,  and  the  earnings  per 
annum  of  all  males  IS  years  of  age  or  over  in  the  households  studied 
were  $513.  The  average  annual  income  of  families  the  heads  of  which 
were  employed  in  the  industry  was  $713.  Of  the  total  number  of 
families  studied,  48.2  per  cent  were  supported  entirely  by  husbands, 
14.6  per  cent  were  maintained  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the 
payments  of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  17.3  per  cent  derived  their 
income  from  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  contributions  of  chil- 
dren. Of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth, 

19.3  per  cent  kept  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  showed  an  average  of  1.34 
persons  per  room  and  2.57  per  sleeping  room.     Of  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign  father,  4  per  cent  had 
boarders  or  lodgers  and  exhibited  an  average  of  0.90  person  per  room 
and  2.43  persons  per  sleeping  room.     None  of  the  second  generation 
used  all  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes,  but  5.8  per  cent  of  those  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  Virth  are  so  reported.     The  average 
monthly  rent  payment  per  capita  among  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  of  foreign  birth  was  $2.30.     Of  the  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  of  foreign  birth  only  23.5  per  cent  owned  their  homes, 
as  contrasted  with  60.7  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  wrliich  were  of 
native  birth  and  of  foreign  father. 

Of  the  total  number  of  employees  20  years  of  age  or  over,  31.4  per 
cent  of  the  native-born  and  56.1  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  were 
married.  Slightly  more  than  nine-tenths  of  the  employees  of  foreign 
birth  could  read,  and  88.8  per  cent  could  both  read  and  write.  Of  the 
total  number  of  employees  of  foreign  birth,  only  59.7  per  cent  were 
able  to  speak  the  English  language,  and  only  28.9  per  cent  were  fully 
naturalized.  Only  3.6  per  cent  of  the  wage-earning  males  in  the 
households  studied  who  were  native-born  of  foreign  father,  as  against 

18.4  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born,  were  affiliated  with  labor  organi- 
zations. 

In  preparing  the  report  on  the  clothing  manufacturing  industry 
four  general  divisions  of  the  data  were  made: 

(1)  General  survey  of  the  industry  as  a  whole,  which  consists  of  a 
statistical  summary  of  all  the  data  secured  from  employees  and  the 
members  of  their  households. 

(2)  General  survey  of  the  industry  in  New  York  City. 

(3)  General  survey  of  the  industry  in  Baltimore. 

(4)  General  survey  of  the  industry  in  Chicago. 

IX.  THE  MANUFACTURE  OF  BOOTS  AND  SHOES. 

The  boot  and  shoe  manufacturing  industry  was  investigated 
throughout  the  territory  east  of  the  Mississippi  and  north  of  the  Ohio 
and  Potomac  Rivers,  the  principal  emphasis  being  placed  upon  the 
establishments  in  the  States  of  Illinois,  Missouri,  and  Massachusetts. 
Detailed  information  was  secured  for  19,946  employees,  and  710 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  industry  were 
intensively  studied.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees,  27.3  per 
cent  were  of  foreign  birth,  while  25.6  per  cent  were  native-born  of 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  27 

foreign  father  and  47  per  cent  native-born  persons  of  native  father. 
The  South  Italians  and  Russian  Hebrews,  reporting  to  the  number  of 
685  and  571,  respectively,  were  the  principal  races  of  southern  and 
eastern  Europe  engaged  in  the  industry,  while  the  French  Canadians, 
with  550,  otner  Canadians,  with  409,  and  Irish,  with  342,  were  the 
races  of  past  immigration  represented  in  the  largest  numbers. 

Of  the  foreign-born  male  employees,  41.4  per  cent  had  had  experience 
in  the  same  kind  of  work  before  coming  to  this  country,  while  29.2 
per  cent  had  been  farmers  or  farm  laborers  abroad.  The  average 
weekly  wage  of  male  employees  18  years  of  age  or  over  was  $12.10, 
and  of  females  $8.16.  The  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of 
families  were  $573,  and  of  all  males  18  years  of  age  or  over  in  the 
households  studied  they  were  $502.  The  average  annual  income  of 
families  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  industry  was  $765. 
Slightly  over  one-third,  or  34.8  per  cent,  of  the  families  studied 
derived  their  entire  income  from  the  earnings  of  husbands,  while  21.8 
per  cent  were  supported  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  pay- 
ments of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  11.7  per  cent  by  the  earnings  of 
husbands  and  contributions  of  children.  Only  17.7  per  cent  of  the 
native  households  kept  boarders  or  lodgers,  as  contrasted  with  36.4 
per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.  Among 
the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born,  the  average 
number  of  persons  per  room  was  0.75,  and  per  sleeping  room,  1.67, 
as  against  1.15  persons  per  room  and  2.10  persons  per  sleeping  room 
in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.  None  of  the 
native  households,  and  but  1.9  per  cent  of  the  foreign,  used  all  their 
rooms  for  sleeping  purposes.  The  greater  degree  of  congestion  in  the 
latter  class  of  households  is  also  illustrated  by  the  fact  that  the 
average  monthly  rent  payment  per  capita  was  $2.19,  as  contrasted 
with  $3.84  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth. 
Of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth,  17.6  per  cent 
owned  their  homes,  as  against  13.5  per  cent  of  the  families  the  heads 
of  which  were  foreign-born. 

About  the  same  proportion  of  the  male  employees  20  years  of  age 
or  over  in  both  nativity  groups  were  married,  the  percentage  of  the 
foreign-born  being  59.6,  and  of  the  native-born  59.8.  Of  the  total 
number  of  foreign-born  employees,  95.3  per  cent  were  able  to  read, 
and  94.1  per  cent  able  both  to  read  and  to  write.  About  three-fourths 
or  75.1  per  cent,  of  the  foreign-born  employees  of  non-English- 
speaking  races  were  able  to  speak  English.  About  one-third,  or 
33.1  per  cent,  of  the  foreign-born  employees  21  years  of  age  or  over 
and  resident  in  the  United  States  five  years  or  more,  were  fully  nat- 
uralized, while  20.5  per  cent  were  in  possession  of  first  papers.  Of 
the  native-born  wage-earning  males  in  the  households  studied  35.3 
per  cent,  and  of  the  foreign-born  37.1  per  cent,  were  members  of  labor 
organizations. 

The  report  upon  this  industry  is  divided  into  three  parts:  (1)  Gen- 
eral survey  of  the  industry  as  a  whole;  (2)  general  survey  of  the  indus- 
try in  the  East,  including  studies  of  two  representative  boot  and  shoe 
manufacturing  communities;  and  (3)  general  survey  of  the  industry 
in  the  Middle  West.

The  operating  forces  of  the  furniture-manufacturing  establish- 
ments were  studied  throughout  the  territory  east  of  the  Mississippi 
River,  but  special  stress  was  laid  upon  the  centers  of  the  industry, 
such  as  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan,  and  Rockford,  Illinois.  Detailed 
information  was  secured  for  4,295  employees,  and  338  households 
the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  industry  were  intensively 
studied.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees,  59.1  per  cent  were  of 
foreign  birth,  while  19.6  per  cent  were  of  native  birth,  but  foreign 
father,  and  21.2  per  cent  were  native-born  of  native  father.  Of  the 
foreign-born  employees,  the  southern  and  eastern  Europeans  were 
represented  in  greatest  numbers  by  the  Poles,  with  482  reporting, 
followed  by  the  Lithuanians,  with  130.  Of  the  races  of  old  immi- 
gration the  Dutch  and  Swedes,  reporting  798  and  631,  appeared  in 
the  largest  numbers.  Of  the  foreign-born  employees,  10.4  per  cent 
were  engaged  in  the  same  land  of  work  before  coming  to  this  country, 
while  49.3  per  cent  were  farmers  or  farm  laborers  abroad.  The  aver 
age  weekly  wage  of  employees  18  years  of  age  or  over  was  $11.67, 
the  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of  Families  were  S598,  and 
the  earnings  per  annum  of  all  males  18  years  of  age  or  over  in  the 
households  studied  were  $575.  The  average  annual  income  of  fam- 
ilies the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  industry  was  $769. 
Of  the  total  number  of  families  studied,  42.3  per  cent  were  supported 
entirely  by  the  earnings  of  the  husbands,  while  13.2  per  cent  derived 
their  entire  income  from  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  payments 
of  boarders  or  lodgers,  and  24.9  per  cent  from  the  earnings  of  hus- 
bands and  the  contributions  of  children.  Of  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth,  11.3  per  cent  kept  boarders  or 
lodgers,  as  against  18.8  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born.  Among  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  native  born,  the  average  number 
of  persons  per  room  was  0.68  and  per  sleeping  room  1.66,  as  contrasted 
with  0.98  person  per  room  and  2.34  persons  per  sleeping  room  in 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.  The  greater 
degree  of  congestion  in  the  latter  class  of  households  is  illustrated  by 
the  fact  that  the  average  monthly  rent  payment  per  capita  was 
$1.51,  as  contrasted  with  $2.13  in  households  the  heads  of  which 
were  of  native  birth.  Of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born,  50.8  per  cent,  and  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign 
birth,  63.3  per  cent,  owned  their  homes. 

Of  the  employees  20  years  of  age  or  over,  66.5  per  cent  of  the  native- 
born  and  68.9  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  were  married.  Of  the 
foreign-born  employees,  96.1  per  cent  were  able  to  read  and  94.3  per 
cent  able  to  both  read  and  write.  Of  the  total  number  of  foreign- 
born  employees  of  non-English-speaking  races,  78.9  per  cent  had

Kloyees  21  years  of  age  or  over  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  at 
;ast  five  years,  55.1  per  cent  were  fully  naturalized  and  29.8  per 
cent  had  first  papers.     None  of  the  native-born  males  in  the  house- 
holds studied,  and  only  1.1  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  were  members 
of  labor  organizations.

XIII.    GLOVE    MANUFACTURING. 

A  study  was  made  of  the  operating  forces  of  the  glove-manufactur- 
ing industry  in  New  York  State.  Detailed  information  was  secured 
for  908  employees,  and  262  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
employed  in  the  glove-manufacturing  industry  were  intensively 
studied.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees,  about  one-third,  or 
33.5  per  cent,  were  foreign-born,  15.7  per  cent  were  of  native  birth 
but  of  foreign  father,  and  about  one-half,  or  50.8  per  cent,  were 
native-born  persons  of  native  father.  The  South  Italians  and  Russian 
Hebrews  reported  in  larger  numbers  than  any  other  of  the  races  of 
southern  and  eastern  Europe,  and  the  English  reported  in  much  larger 
numbers  than  any  other  race  of  the  old  immigration.  Of  the  foreign-

annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of  families  who  were  employed  in  the 
industry  were  $650,  and  of  all  males  18  years  of  age  or  over  in  the 
households  studied  they  were  $625.  The  average  annual  income  of 
the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  industry  was 
$904.  Slightly  less  than  one-fourth,  or  24.3  per  cent,  of  the  families 
studied  derived  their  entire  income  from  the  earnings  of  the  husbands, 
while  6.1  per  cent  were  supported  by  the  earnings  of  the  husbands  and

XIV.    OIL    KEFIMXG. 

A  study  was  made  of  the  operating  forces  of  the  oil-refining 
industry  in  the  two  principal  oil-producing  centers  of  the  count  rv 
Bayonne,  New  Jersey,  ami  Aviating,  Indiana.  Detailed  information 
was  secured  for  6,123  employees,  and  525  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  employed  in  the  refineries  were  intensively  studied.  Of 
the  total  number  of  employees,  66.7  per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth, 

21.5  per  cent  were  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father,  and  only  11.8 
per  cent  were  native-born  persons  of  native  father.     The  Poles,  with 
1,031  reporting,  and  the  Slovaks,  with  757,  were  the  principal  races 
of  southern  and  eastern  Europe  engaged  in  the  industry,  while  the 
Irish,  with  830,  followed  by  the  Germans,  with  313,  were  the  races 
of  old  immigration  represented  in  the  largest  numbers.     None  of 
the  employees  of  foreign  birth  had  had  any  experience  in  the  same 
work  before  coming  to  this  country,  while  60.8  per  cent  had  been 
farmers  or  farm  laborers  abroad.     The  average  daily  wage  of  male 
employees  18  years  of  age  or  over  was  $2.51,  and  the  average  weeklv 
wage  $13.81.     The  average  annual  earnings  of  male  heads  of  families 
who  were  employed  in  the  oil  refineries  were  $662,  and  of  all  males  18 
years  of  age  or  over  in  the  households  studied  they  were  $591.     The 
average  annual  income  of  families  the  heads  of  which  were  working 
in  the  industry  was  $828.     Slightly  more  than  two-fifths,  or  42.2 
per  cent,  of  the  families  studied  derived  their  entire  income  from  the 
earnings  of  the  husbands,  while  28.5  per  cent  were  supported  by  the 
earnings  of  the  husbands  and  the  payments  of  boarders  or  lodge  ix. 
and  10.8  per  cent  by  the  earnings  of  the  husbands  and  the  contribu- 
tions of  the  children.     Only  9.7  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  native 
households  studied  kept  boarders  or  lodgers,  as  contrasted  with.  34.2 
per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.     Among 
the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  the  average  num- 
ber of  persons  per  room  was  0.89,  and  per  sleeping  room  1.95,  as 
against  1.39  persons  per  room  and  2.45  persons  per  sleeping  room  in 
the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  or  foreign  oirth.     None  of   the 
native  households,  but  11.9  per  cent  of  the  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  foreign-born,  used  all  their  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes. 
The  greater  degree  of  congestion  in  the  latter  class  or  households  is 
also  illustrated  by  the  fact  that  the  average  monthly  rent  payment 
per  capita  was  $1.55,   as  contrasted  with  $2.91  in  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth.     About  the  same  proportion  of 
families  of  both  nativity  groups  owned  their  homes,  the  percentage 
in  the  case  of  the  foreign-born  being  20.4  and  the  native-born  20. 
Of  the  total  number  of  native-born  employees  20  years  of  age  or  over, 

58.6  per  cent,  and  of  the  foreign-born  71.5  per  cent,  were  married. 
Only  85.7  per  cent  of  the  employees  of  foreign  birth  were  able  to  read, 
and  82.7  per  cent  to  both  read  and  write.     Of  the  total  number  of 
foreign-born  employees  of  non-English-speaking  races,  65.6  per  cent 
were  able  to  speak  English.     Of  the  foreign-born  employees  21  years 
of  age  or  over  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  five  years  or  more, 
36.3  per  cent  were  naturalized  and  21.7  per  cent  were  in  possession 
of  first  papers.     Only  1 .2  per  cent  of  the  wage-earning  males  of  foreign 
birth  and  5.8  per  cent  of  the  native-born  in  the  households  studied 
were  members  of  labor  organizations.

were  $522.  The  average  annual  income  of  families  the  heads  of  which 
were  employed  in  the  industry  was  $661.  Of  the  total  number  of 
families  studied,  30.2  per  cent  derived  their  entire  income  from  the 
earnings  of  husbands,  while  exactly  one-half  the  families  were  sup- 
ported by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  payments  of  boarders 
or  lodgers  and  8.1  per  cent  by  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  con- 
tributions of  children.  Of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of 
foreign  birth,  59.8  per  cent  kept  boarders  or  lodgers,  the  average  num- 
ber of  persons  per  room  in  the  foreign  households  being  1.54  and  per 
sleeping  room  2.36,  while  12.9  per  cent  of  these  households  used  all 
their  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes.  The  average  monthly  rent  pay- 
ment per  person  among  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign 
birth  was  $1.81.  Only  0.5  per  cent  of  the  families  the  heads  of  which 
were  foreign-born  owned  their  homes. 

Of  the  employees  20  years  of  age  or  over,  63  per  cent  of  the  native- 
born  and  63.6  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  were  married.  Only 
77.4  per  cent  of  the  employees  of  foreign  birth  were  able  to  read 
and  72.8  per  cent  able  to  both  read  and  wrrite,  while  but  40  per  cent 
of  the  foreign-born  employees  of  non-English-speaking  races  had 
learned  to  speak  the  English  language.  Of  the  foreign-born  employees 
21  years  of  age  or  over  and  resident  in  the  United  States  at  least  five 
years,  only  27.1  per  cent  were  fully  naturalized  and  13.4  per  cent  in 
possession  of  first  papers.  This  industry  is  practically  without  labor 
organization.  Out  of  a  total  of  365  wage-earning  males  in  the  house- 
holds studied  of  whom  the  inquiry  was  made  as  to  whether  or  not 
they  were  in  labor  organizations,  only  2  (Poles)  answered  in  the 
affirmative. 

XVI.  THE  MANUFACTURE  OF  CIGARS  AND  TOBACCO. 

The  operating  forces  of  cigar  and  tobacco  factories  were  studied 
throughout  the  territory  east  of  the  Mississippi  River.  Detailed 
information  was  secured  for  36,564  employees,  and  in  Tampa,  Florida, 
127  households  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the  industry 


34  The  Immigration  Commission. 

were  intensively  studied.  Of  the  total  number  of  employees,  32.6 
per  cent  were  of  foreign  birth,  while  15.5  per  cent  were  of  native 
birth  but  of  foreign  father,  and  over  one-half,  or  52  per  cent,  were 
native-born  <>i  native  father.  Of  the  races  of  foreign  birth  eim>l.>yed 
in  the  industry,  the  Cuban  and  Spanish  were  represented  in  largest 
numbers.  The  South  Italian,  Polish,  and  Magy.-i  r  w&re  t  he  three  nrin- 
cipal  races  of  recent  immigration  engaged  in  the  industry  ana  the 
German  and  Irish  of  the  races  of  old  immigration.  The  South  Italians 
reported  to  the  number  of  1,927,  the  Poles  reported  850,  the  Magyars 
534,  the  Germans  607,  and  the  Irish  317.  Of  the  employees  of  foreign 
birth,  55.3  per  cent  of  the  males  and  29.2  per  cent  of  the  females  had 
been  engaged  in  the  same  kind  of  work  before  coming  to  this  country, 
while  23.3  per  cent  of  the  males  and  51.6  per  cent  of  the  females  had 
been  farmers  or  farm  laborers  in  their  native  countries.  The  average 
daily  wage  of  male  employees  18  years  of  age  or  oveV  was  SI. 92  and 
of  the  female  employees  18  years  of  age  or  over  $1.15.  Of  all  for- 
eign-born employees  20  years  of  age  or  over  58.4  per  cent  were  mar- 
ried, while  only  45.6  per  cent  of  the  native-born  were  so  reported. 
Of  the  employees  of  foreign  birth,  91.2  per  cent  were  able  to  read  and 
90.1  per  cent  able  both  to  read  and  to  write,  while  of  the  foreign-born 
employees  of  non-English-speaking  races  only  28.6  per  cent  were  able 
to  speak  the  English  language.  Of  the  foreign-born  employees  21 
years  of  age  or  over  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  five  years  or 
more,  only  14.5  per  cent  were  fully  naturalized  and  4.5  per  cent  were 
in  possession  of  first  papers. 

.In  preparing  the  data  for  publication  four  general  divisions  were 
made : 

(1)  General  survey  of  the  industry  as  a  whole. 

(2)  General  survey  of  the  industry  in  the  East. 

(3)  General  survey  of  the  industry  in  the  Middle  West. 

(4)  General  survey   of   the  industry  in   the  South,   including   a 
detailed  study  of  the  industry  in  Tampa,  Florida.

CHAPTER  I. 
EXTENT  OF  THE  INFORMATION  SECURED. 

Households  studied — Members  of  households  for  whom  detailed  information  was 
secured — Employees  for  whom  detailed  information  was  secured — [Text  Tables  1 
to  5  and  General  Tables  1  to  4.] 

HOUSEHOLDS    STUDIED. 

A  total  of  17,141  households  the  heads  of  which  were  miners  or 
wage-earners  in  manufacturing  establishments  were  studied  in  detail 
in  the  course  of  the  general  investigation  of  immigrants  in  industries 
in  the  territory  between  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  the  Atlantic  sea- 
board. These  households  were  selected  upon  the  following  basis: 
(1)  A  certain  maximum  number  were  allotted  to  each  industry 
studied;  (2)  the  number  of  the  households  of  each  race  studied  in 
connection  with  each  industry  was  apportioned  according  to  the  rela- 
tive numerical  importance  of  the  several  races  in  the  operating  force; 
(3)  the  total  number  of  households  were  then  divided  (a)  according  to 
the  geographical  distribution  of  the  industry  in  order  to  ascertain 
differences  in  working  and  living  conditions  in  various  sections  of  the 
country,  (ft)  a  limited  number  of  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
native  Americans  or  older  immigrants  without  reference  to  the  num- 
ber of  such  employees  in  the  industry  were  secured  for  the  purpose 
of  comparison  with  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  wage- 
earners  of  recent  immigration,  and  (c)  the  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  of  foreign  birth  and  of  recent  immigration  were  appor- 
tioned according  to  the  period  of  residence  of  the  heads  in  the  United 
States.  The  table  which  follows  shows,  by  general  nativity  and  race 
of  head  of  household,  the  total  number  of  households  studied:

a  Less  than  0.05  per  cent. 

Upon  referring  to  the  table  preceding,  it  is  seen  that  of  the  total 
number  of  households  studied  1,139,  or  6.6  per  cent,  were  those  of 
heads  who  were  native-born  white  persons  of  native  fathers;  727.  or 
4.2  per  cent,  were  of  heads  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father;  and 
148,  or  0.9  per  cent,  were  of  heads  who  were  native-born  negroe-. 
These  classes  of  households,  together  with  those  the  heads  of  which 
were  foreign-born  English,  German,  Irish,  Welsh,  and  Scotch  in- 
dustrial workers,  were  selected  to  afford  a  comparison,  as  staled 
above,  with  wage-earners  of  southern  and  eastern  Europe  engaged 
in  the  same  industries  and  occupations.  The  remaining  households, 
having  been  selected  on  the  basis  of  the  numerical  importance  of 
the  several  races  in  the  different  industries  studied,  indicate  the  rela- 
tive extent  to  which  members  of  the  several  races  were  employed  in 
the  mines  and  manufacturing  establishments  of  the  United  States. 
In  this  respect  the  Poles  outrank  all  other  races  of  recent  im- 
migration,  12.3  per  cent  of  the  total  number  of  households  studied 
being  represented  by  this  race.  The  South  Italians  and  Slovaks 
are  next  in  order.  Of  the  total  number  of  households,  8.9  per 
cent  are  of  the  former  and  7.7  per  cent  of  the  latter  race. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  Poles  and  South  Italians  are  employed  in 
practically  all  branches  of  mining  and  manufacturing  enterprise. 
The  Slovaks  are  not  so  extensively  engaged  as  the  Poles  and  South 
Italians,  but  in  those  industries  in  which  the  Slovaks  are  principally 
employed,  such  as  bituminous  and  anthracite  coal  mining  and  the 
iron  and  steel  plants,  they  appear  in  larger  numbers  than  the  other 
two  races.  After  the  Slovaks,  the  Magyars,  Lithuanians,  Hebrews, 
North  Italians,  Croati-ans,  Ruthenians,  and  French  Canadians  form 
the  largest  proportions  of  the  body  of  wage-earners  who  are  heads  of 
households.  The  heads  of  households  of  other  races  occur  in  com- 
paratively small  numbers  in  different  industries  or,  as  in  the  case  of 
the  Brava  textile  operatives  in  New  England,  the  Cuban  cigarmakers 
in  Tampa  and  New  Orleans,  or  the  Mexican  miners  in  the  Southwest, 
are  representative  of  only  one  industry  or  of  a  certain  geographical 
area  in  which  the  industry  is  located.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  47 

Upon  referring  to  the  totals  in  the  foregoing  table  it  is  seen  that 
more  than  one-half,  or  57.9  per  cent,  of  all  the  employees  for  whom  de- 
tailed information  was  received  were  of  foreign  birth,  while  only  20.1 
percent  were  native-born  white  persons  of  native  father,  and  1 7  per  cent 
persons  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father,  the  remaining  5  per  cent 
being  native-born  negroes.  The  wage-earners  of  the  second  generation, 
or  of  native  birth,  and  of  foreign  father,  are  composed  principally  of 
persons  whose  fathers  were  born  in  Canada,  England,  Germany,  and 
Ireland,  less  than  1  per  cent  being  of  fathers  \vhose  birthplaces  were 
in  Austria-Hungary,  Denmark,  Italy,  Norway,  Russia,  Scotland, 
Sweden,  Switzerland,  and  Wales.  Of  the  wage-earners  of  foreign 
birth  and  of  old  immigration,  the  Germans  form  the  largest  propor- 
tion, followed  by  the  French  Canadians,  English,  Irish,  Scotch, 
Swedish,  and  Welsh,  in  the  order  named.  Of  the  races  of  recent 
immigration  to  the  United  States,  the  largest  proportion  of  wage- 
earners  is  furnished  by  the  Poles,  the  representation  of  this  race  being 
9.6  per  cent  of  the  total  number  for  whom  information  was  received. 
The  next  race  most  extensively  employed  is  the  Slovak,  followed 
closely  by  the  South  Italian,  which  race  in  turn  is  closely  followed  by 
the  North  Italian.  The  Lithuanian,  Magyar,  and  Croatian  races 
appear  in  the  next  largest  proportions.  The  Greeks,  Hebrews,  and 
Slovenians,  together  with  13  other  races  from  southern  and  eastern 
Europe,  are  engaged  in  manufacturing  and  mining  in  considerable 
numbers,  but  in  less  proportions  than  the  races  already  mentioned.0

Abstracts  of  Reports  of  the  Immigration  Commission,  Volume  1,  pp.  320-348.  (S.  Doc.

CHAPTER  II. 
RACIAL  DISPLACEMENTS. 

History  of  immigration  to  representative  industries — Period  of  residence  in  the  United 
States  of  foreign-born  employees  and  members  of  their  households— [Text  Tables  6 
to  12  and  General  Tables  5  and  6]. 

HISTORY    OF    IMMIGRATION    TO    REPRESENTATIVE    INDUSTRIES. 

The  racial  displacements  which  have  been  caused  as  a  result  of  the 
conditions  outlined  above  have  manifested  themselves  in  three  ways. 
In  the  first  place,  a  larger  proportion  of  native  Americans  and  older 
immigrant  employees  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  have 
left  certain  industries,  such  as  bituminous  and  anthracite  coal  mining 
and  iron  and  steel  manufacturing.  In  the  second  place,  a  part  of  the 
earlier  employees,  as  already  pointed  out,  who  remained  in  the  indus- 
tries in  which  they  were  employed  before  the  advent  of  the  southern 
and  eastern  European  have  been  able,  because  of  the  demand  growing 
out  of  the  general  industrial  expansion,  to  attain  to  the  more  skilled 
and  responsible  technical  and  executive  positions  which  required 
employees  of  training  and  experience.  In  the  larger  number  of 
cases,  where  the  older  employees  remained  in  a  certain  industry  after 
the  pressure  of  the  competition  of  the  recent  immigrant  had  begun 
to  be  felt,  they  relinquished  their  former  occupations  and  segregated 
themselves  in  certain  occupations.  This  tendency  is  best  illustrated 
by  the  distribution  of  employees  according  to  race  in  the  bituminous 
coal  mines.  In  this  industry  all  the  so-called  "company"  occupa- 
tions, which  are  paid  on  the  basis  of  a  daily,  weekly,  or  monthly  rate, 
are  occupied  by  native  Americans  or  older  immigrants  and  their 
children,  wiiile  the  southern  and  eastern  Europeans  are  confined  to 
pick  mining  and  to  the  unskilled  and  common  labor.  The  same 
situation  exists  in  iron  and  steel  and  glass  manufacturing,  the  textile 
manufacturing  industries,  and  in  all  divisions  of  manufacturing 
enterprise.  It  is  largely  due  to  the  stigma  which  has  become  attached 
to  the  fact  of  working  in  the  same  occupations  as  the  southern  and 
eastern  Europeans  that  in  some  cases,  as  in  the  bituminous  coal- 
mining industry,  has  led  to  the  segregation  of  the  older  class  of 
employees  in  occupations  which, from,  the  standpoint  of  compensation, 
are  less  desirable  than  those  occupied  by  recent  immigrants.  In  most 
industries  the  native  Americans  and  older  immigrant  workmen  who 
have  remained  in  the  same  occupations  as  those  in  which  the  recent 
immigrants  are  predominant  are  made  up  of  the  thriftless,  unpro- 
gressive  elements  of  the  original  operating  forces.  The  third  striking 
feature  resulting  from  the  competition  of  southern  and  eastern 
Europeans  is  seen  in  the  fact  that  in  the  case  of  most  industries,  such 
as  iron  and  steel,  textile,  and  glass  manufacturing  and  the  different 

49

forms  of  mining,  the  children  of  native  Americans  and  older  immi- 
grants from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  arc  not  entering  the 
industries  in  which  their  fathers  have  hcen  employed.  All  kinds  of 
manufacturers  claim  that  they  are  unahle  to  secure  a  sullicienl  num- 
ber of  native-born  employees  to  insure  the  development  of  the  neces- 
sary number  of  workmen  to  fill  the  positions  of  skill  and  responsi- 
bility in  their  establishments.  This  condition  of  affairs  is  attributable 
to  three  factors:  (1)  General  or  technical  education  lias  enabled 
a  considerable  number  of  the  children  of  the  industrial  workers  of 
the  passing  generation  to  command  business,  professional,  or  tech- 
nical occupations  more  desirable  than  those  of  their  fathers;  (2) 
the  conditions  of  work  which  the  employment  of  recent  immigrant-, 
have  largely  made  possible  has  rendered  certain  industrial  occupations 
unattractive  to  the  prospective  wage-earner  of  native  birth;  and  (3) 
occupations  other  than  those  in  which  southern  and  eastern  Euro- 
peans are  engaged  are  sought  for  the  reason  that  popular  opinion 
at  (aches  to  them  a  more  satisfactory  social  status  and  a  higher  degree 
of  respectability. 

.  It  is  obviously  extremely  difficult  to  form  generalizations  as  to  the 
effect  of  the  competition  of  recent  immigrant  industrial  workers  upon 
native  Americans  and  employees  of  the  immigration  of  former  years 
without  referring  to  certain  industries  and  taking  into  account  certain 
exceptions.  The  general  displacements  and  their  causes,  it  is  be- 
lieved, as  applicable  to  manufacturing  and  mining  as  a  whole,  are 
succinctly  set  forth  above.  Specific  reference  as  to  the  conditions 
in  any  of  the  principal  industries  may  be  had  by  referring  to  the 
detailed  reports.0  In  the  present  connection,  for  the  purpose  of 
illustrating  the  points  already  made,  a  brief  account  is  suomitted  of 
the  racial  movements  to  and  racial  displacements  in  several  repre- 
sentative industries.  No  other  large  industry  in  the  United  States, 
with  the  possible  exception  of  iron  and  steel  and  textile  manufactur- 
ing, has  absorbed  such  a  number  of  recent  immigrants  or  such  a 
diversity  of  races  as  bituminous  coal  mining,  and  the  racial  move- 
ments to,  and  displacements  in,  the  operating  forces  of  the  bituminous 
coal  mines  may  be  set  forth  as  representative  of  the  situation  which 
has  developed  to  a  more  or  less  marked  degree  in  the  other  leading 
industries  of  the  country. 

HISTORY  OF  IMMIGRATION  TO  THE  BITUMINOUS  COAL-MINING  FIELDS. 

Remarkable  development  has  been  in  progress  in  the  bituminous 
coal-producing  areas  of  Pennsylvania  during  the  past  forty  years.  A 
conception  of  the  expansion  in  bituminous  mining  operations  in  this 
State  during  the  period  mentioned  may  be  gathered  from  the  fact  that 
the  output  in  short  tons  was  150,143,177  in  1907  as  compared  with 
7,798,518  short  tons  in  1870  and  by  the  additional  fact  that  the  total 
number  of  bituminous  mine  workers  in  1907  was  103,295  as  con- 
trasted with  only  16,851  in  1870.  During  the  decade  1880-1890  the 
operating  forces  of  the  Pennsylvania  bituminous  mines  consisted  of 
native  Americans  and  members  of  the  English,  Irish,  Scotch,  AVelsh, 
and  German  races  who  had,  as  a  rule,  been  practical  miners  before 
immigration  to  this  country,  and  who,  after  their  arrival  in  the

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  51 

United  States,  as  might  be  expected,  sought  work  in  the  industry  in 
which  they  had  had  experience  abroad.  The  predominance  of  mine 
workers  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  continued  up  to 
1890,  but  after  that  year  the  entrance  of  these  races  into  the  bitumi- 
nous coal  mines  practically  stopped.  Because  of  the  rapid  devel- 
opment of  the  industry  and  the  consequent  need  of  labor,  Slovaks 
had  been  employed  in  the  Pennsylvania  mines  as  early  as  1880.  This 
race  was  soon  followed  by  the  Magyars  or  Hungarians,  Poles,  North 
and  South  Italians,  Croatians,  Russians,  Bulgarians,  Roumanians, 
Ruthenians,  Syrians,  Armenians,  and  Servians.  These  races  from 
southern  and  eastern  Europe,  particularly  the  Slovaks,  Magyars, 
Poles,  and  Italians,  have  gradually  supplanted  the  older  immigrants 
in  the  less  skilled  and  responsible  positions,  and  during  the  past  ten 
years  have  not  only  gained  the  ascendancy  in  numbers  but  have  also 
begun  to  advance  in  the  scale  of  occupations.  The  pioneer  operatives, 
under  the  increasing  pressure  and  competition  which  arose  from  the 
influx  of  the  southern  and  eastern  European  immigrants,  have,  in 
constantly  growing  numbers  since  1890,  left  the  Pennsylvania  coal 
fields  for  localities  in  the  Middle  West  or  Southwest  in  search  of 
better  working  conditions  or,  on  the  other  hand,  have  entirely  aban- 
doned the  coal  industry  to  engage  in  other  pursuits  made  available 
by  the  industrial  development  which  has  been  in  progress  in  western 
Pennsylvania  during  the  same  period  as  that  in  which  the  expansion 
of  bituminous  coal-mining  operations  occurred.  Those  that  remained 
in  the  bituminous  mines  usually  have  attained  to  the  skilled  and 
responsible  executive  positions  created  by  the  development  of  the 
industry,  such  as  those  of  engineers  and  foremen. 

An  extraordinary  and  similar  expansion  in  coal  mining  was  in 
progress  during  the  same  period  in  the  Middle  West  and  the  South- 
west as  in  Pennsylvania.  In  1870,  in  the  States  of  Ohio,  Indiana, 
and  Illinois,  5,589,318  short  tons  of  coal  were  mined,  and  15,237  men 
were  employed,  as  compared  with  an  output  of  97,445,278  short  tons 
and  an  operating  force  of  127,333  men  in  1907.  The  greatest  devel- 
opment in  the  Southwest  came  somewhat  later.  Kansas  and 
Oklahoma  (then  Indian  Territory)  produced  763,597  short  tons  in 
1880  and  employed  3,617  mine  workers,  as  contrasted  with  ah  annual 
production  of  10,965,107  short  tons  in  1907  and  employees  to  the 
number  of  20,837.  The  opening  of  mines  in  Texas  did  not  assume 
important  proportions  until  after  1902  and,  although  development 
was  going  on  in  both  Arkansas  and  Iowa  at  an  early  date,  the  aggre- 
gate annual  output  of  these  States  combined  has  never  been  im- 
portant. 

In  the  Middle  West,  as  in  the  case  of  Pennsylvania,  there  were 
very  few  mine  workers  prior  to  1890  who  were  not  native  Americans 
or  representatives  of  races  from  Great  Britain  and  Germany.  Races 
of  southern  and  eastern  Europe,  principally  North  and  South 
Italians,  Lithuanians,  Poles,  Russians,  French,  and  French  Belgians, 
entered  the  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Illinois  fields  during  the  decade  1890- 
1900,  and  during  the  past  ten  years  have  rapidly  increased  in  numbers. 
The  races  of  older  immigration,  however,  have  never  lost  the  ascen- 
dancy in  the  mines  of  the  Middle  West,  because  of  a  large  migration, 
as  mentioned  above,  to  that  section  during  the  ten  years  1890-1900 
of  English,  Irish,  Scotch,  Welsh,  and  German  miners  from  Penn-

sylvania  and  Wc-l  Virginia.  Bui  the  miners  of  northern  Europe  and 
(Ireat  Britain  did  not  remain  permanently  in  the  coal  fields  of  the 
Middle  West .  Many  of  them,  in  the  effort  to  attain  inon-  satisfactory 
working  conditions,  when  the  pressure  of  recent  immigration  began 
to  be  felt,  moved  onward  to  the  newly  opened  mines  of  the  South- 
west. Moreover,  at  the  same  time  that  the  natives  and  older  immi- 
grants were  leaving  the  West  Virginia  and  Pennsylvania  mines 
for  those  of  Ohio,  Indiana,  and  Illinois,  others  migrated  directly  to 
the  coal  fileds  of  Oklahoma  (then  Indian  Territory).  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  when,  in  the  year  1880,  the  mines  of  Kansas  and  Oklahoma  were 
first  opened  on  a  commercial  basis,  the  operating  forces  were  brought 
by  special  trains  and  carloads  from  Pennsylvania  and  the  Middle 
West.  The  Americans,  English,  Irish,  and  Scotch  were  predominant 
among  these  pioneer  mine  workers,  although  there  were  among  them 
a  few  representatives  of  the  German,  Polish,  Lithuanian,  French, 
and  Croatian  races.  The  rapid  increase  of  the  British  and  northern 
European  races  continued  in  Oklahoma  (then  Indian  Territory)  up 
to  1890,  and  in  Kansas  until  1895.  In  1890,  the  Americans,  English. 
Irish,  and  Scotch  in  large  numbers  left  the  Oklahoma  mines  and 
sought  employment  in  the  Kansas  fields.  The  number  of  mining 
employees  in  the  Southwest  belonging  to  races  of  southern  and  eastern 
Europe  rapidly  increased  in  the  twenty  years  subsequent  to  IS'. in, 
this  supply  of  labor  being  used  to  take  the  places  of  the  natives  and 
older  immigrants  who  left  Oklahoma  after  1890,  and  to  meet  the 
demand  for  labor  growing  out  of  the  expansion  in  the  coal  industry 
in  both  Oklahoma  and  Kansas.  During  the  same  period,  and  especi- 
ally since  1900,  there  has  also  been  a  movement  of  smaller  extent,  but 
quite  pronounced,  of  the  natives,  English,  Irish,  Scotch,  and  Welsh 
farther  to  the  West  and  Southwest.  Some  have  left  Kansas  and 
Oklahoma  for  the  recently  developed  mines  of  Texas  and  New 
Mexico.  Others  have  gone  to  the  bituminous  mining  fields  of  Colo- 
rado. A  small  number  have  also  forsaken  coal  mining  for  the  Colorado 
and  other  gold  fields,  and  a  considerable  proportion,  especially  of  the 
second  generation  of  English,  Irish,  Scotch,  and  Welsh,  have  engaged 
in  lead  and  zinc  mining  in  Missouri. 

In  the  South  the  development  of  bituminous-coal  mining  has 
been  more  recent  than  in  the  other  localities  discussed.  West  Vir- 
ginia and  Alabama  first  entered  upon  their  present  large  production 
after  1890.  The  remarkable  growth  in  the  industry  which  has  taken 
place,  however,  may  be  quickly  realized  by  the  statement  that  AA  est 
Virginia  had  an  annual  output^of  7,394,654  short  tons  in  1890  and  an 
operating  force  of  9,778  men,  as  compared  with  48,091,583  short  tons 
mined  in  1907,  and  a  force  of  59,029  employees.  Alabama  had  a 
corresponding  development,  her  output  in  1890  being  4,090,40'.) 
short  tons,  and  her  mine  workers  6,864,  as. compared  with  an  annual 
production  of  14,250,454  short  tons  in  1907  and  an  operating  force  of 
21,388  men.  Native  whites  and  negroes  were  principally  used  in  the 
early  development  of  the  southern  coal  mines.  The  pioneer  immi- 

frant  employees  both  in  West  Virginia  and  Alabama  were  English, 
rish,  Scotch,  Welsh,  and  Germans,  and  representatives  of  all  of  these 
races  were  among  the  employees  of  both  States  prior  to  1 890.      I )u ri ng 
the  decade  1890-1900,  Slovaks,  Poles,  French,  Croatian*,   Russians, 
Magyars,  and  North  and  South  Italians  entered  the  mines  in  consider-

able  numbers.  Within  the  past  fifteen  years  there  has  been,  especially 
in  West  Virginia,  a  racial  movement  in  two  directions:  (1)  The 
original  immigrant  mine  workers  from  Great  Britain  and  northern 
Europe  have  migrated  in  large  numbers  to  the  Middle  West  and 
Southwest,  and  (2)  the  immigrants  of  southern  and  eastern  European 
races  have  entered  the  coal  fields  to  take  the  places  made  vacant  by 
the  departure  of  the  original  employees  and  to  supply  the  demand  for 
labor  arising  from  the  extension  of  mining  operations.  In  Kentucky 
and  Tennessee  the  mines  have  been  exclusively  operated  by  native 
whites  and  negroes,  and  the  number  of  immigrants  employed  has  been 
negligible.  The  Virginia  coal-producing  territory  was  not  opened 
to  any  great  extent  until  after  the  year  1900,  and  most  of  the  labor 
was  drawn  from  outside  sources.  Native  whites  and  negroes  were 
at  first  employed,  and  when  this  source  of  supply  _  was  exhausted 
recourse  was  had  to  recent  immigrants.  The  majority  of  the  mine 
workers  in  Virginia  are  at  present  representatives  of  southern  and 
eastern  European  races. 

The  above-outlined  racial  movements  may  be  more  clearly  com- 
prehended, as  well  as  the  extent  to  which  the  various  races  of  south- 
ern and  eastern  Europe  enter  into  the  operating  forces  of  the  bitu- 
minous mines  at  the  present  time,  from  the  following  table.  It  is 
based  on  returns  from  88,368  mine  workers  and  indicates  the  extent 
to  which  each  race  or  nativity  is  employed  in  the  industry  and  in  the 
different  mining  fields.  Only  the  principal  races  are  shown,  ^  and

and  Turks  are  employed  in  the  bituminous  mines  in  smaller  propor- 
tions than  the  races  presented  in  the  table."

The  salient  fact  disclosed  by  the  above  table  is  that  of  the  total 
number  of  bituminous-mine  workers  at  present  slightly  more  than 
three-fifths  are  foreign-born  and  slightly  less  than  two-fifths  are  of 
native  birth.  Of  the  foreign-born  comparatively  small  proportions 
are  seen  to  be  of  the  English,  Irish,  Scotch,  Welsh,  and  German  races 
of  the  older  immigration,  while  the  greater  part  of  the  persons  of 
foreign  birth  employed  in  the  industry  are  Croatians,  North  and 
South  Italians,  Lithuanians,  Magyars,  Poles,  Russians,  Slovaks, 
Slovenians,  and  other  races  of  recent  immigration.  The  South 
exhibits  the  lowest  percentage  of  foreign-born  mining  employees  and 
Pennsylvania  the  highest,  followed  by  the  Southwest  and  Middle 
West  in  the  order  named. 

The  racial  substitutions  in,  and  the  present  racial  composition  of, 
the  operating  forces  of  the  bituminous-coal  mines  of  the  country  may 
be  considered  typical  of  all  other  extractive  industries,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  agriculture.  On  the  other  hand,  the  racial  movements  to  the 
cotton-goods  manufacturing  industry  may  be  presented  as  represent- 
ative of  conditions  in  the  different  branches  or  manufacturing  indus- 
try in  which  the  factory  system  has  reached  its  highest  form  of  devel- 
opment. In  submitting  a  history  of  immigration  to,  and  racial 
displacements  in,  this  industry  the  racial  movements  to  the  industry 
in  the  North  Atlantic  States  are  first  presented,  followed  by  a  detailed 
account  of  the  racial  displacements  in  a  representative  cotton-goods 
manufacturing  center  in  New  England. 

RACIAL  DISPLACEMENTS  IN  NEW  ENGLAND  COTTON  MILLS. 

The  first  employees  for  the  New  England  cotton  mills  were  secured 
almost  exclusively  from  the  farm  and  village  population  immediately 
adjacent  to  the  early  cotton-goods  manufacturing  centers.  These 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  55 

employees  consisted  in  the  main  of  the  children  of  farmers,  usually 
the  daughters,  who  undertook  work  in  the  mills  for  the  purpose  of 
assisting  their  fathers  or  in  order  to  lay  aside  sums  for  their  own 
dowries.  The  young  women  were  attractive  and,  as  a  rule,  well 
educated,  and  the  young  men  sober,  intelligent,  and  reliable.  At 
the  time  of  the  erection  of  the  first  modern  cotton  mills,  about  1813, 
there  was  a  strong  prejudice  in  New  England  against  the  so-called 
factory  system,  because  of  the  conditions  which  prevailed  among 
cotton-mill  operatives  in  Great  Britain.  As  a  consequence,  the  chief 
endeavor  of  the  promoters  of  the  new  industry  was  to  secure  housing 
and  living  conditions  under  such  restrictions  as  would  warrant  the 
parents  of  New  England  in  permitting  their  sons  and  daughters  to 
enter  the  mills.  This  policy  was  successful,  and  sufficient  labor 
rapidly  moved  into  the  new  textile-manufacturing  towns. 

In  the  light  of  the  changed  conditions  which  afterwards  became 
prevalent  in  the  New  England  textile-manufacturing  towns  it  will  be 
instructive  to  consider  somewhat  in  detail  this  early  class  of  operatives 
and  the  conditions  under  which  they  lived.  A  distinguished  French 
traveler,  who  visited  the  United  States  in  1834,  in  the  words  which 
follow  gave  his  impressions  of  the  operatives  of  Lowell,  Mass.,  Lowell 
then  being  the  most  representative  cotton-goods  manufacturing  center 
in  New  England. a 

"The  cotton  manufacture  alone,"  he  stated,  "employs  6,000  per- 
sons in  Lowell.  Of  this  number  nearly  5,000  are  young  Women  from 
17  to  24  years  of  age,  the  daughters  of  farmers  from  the  different  New 
England  States,  and  particularly  from  Massachusetts,  New  Hamp- 
shire, and  Vermont.  They  are  here  remote  from  their  families  and 
under  their  own  control.  On  seeing  them  pass  through  the  streets  in 
the  morning  and  evening  and  at  their  meal  hours,  neatly  dressed;  on 
finding  their  scarfs  and  shawls,  and  green  silk  hoods  which  they  wear 
as  a  shelter  from  the  sun  and  dust  (for  Lowell  is  not  yet  paved), 
hanging  up  in  the  factories  admidst  flowers  and  shrubs,  which  they 
cultivate,  I  said  to  myeslf,  'This,  then,  is  not  like  Manchester;'  and 
when  I  was  informed  of  the  rate  of  their  wages.  I  understood  that  it 
was  not  at  all  like  Manchester." 

The  measures  which  made  possible  this  intelligent  and  efficient  class 
of  operatives  is  explained  by  a  later  historian  of  Lowell:6 

"While  devoting  his  inventive  skill  in  the  perfecting  of  machinery, 
Mr.  Lowell,"  the  author  states,  "gave  considerable  thought  to  the 
improvement  of  those  he  employed.  He  had  seen  the  degraded  state 
of  operatives  in  England,  and  his  chief  endeavor,  next  after  the  fitting 
of  his  mill,  was  to  insure  such  domestic  comforts  and  restrictions  as 
would  warrant  the  parents  of  New  England  in  letting  their  daughters 
enter  his  employment.  He  provided  boarding  houses  conducted  by 
reputable  women,  furnished  opportunities  for  religious  worship,  and 
established  rules  which  were  a  safeguard  against  the  evils  which  assail 
the  young  who  are  beyond  parental  supervision  *. 

"When  the  -  -  mills  were  first  established,  the  operatives  were 
drawn  from  the  towns  and  villages  of  New  England.  They  were 
sober,  industrious,  and  reliable  people.  The  building  of  the  mills

attracted  immigrant  labor.  It  was  also  of  a  sober  and  reliable 
quality,  for  fares  were  high  in  those  days,  and  it  was  only  those  who 
were  seeking  homes  that  came  to  the  new  town  of  Lowell.  This 
foreign  labor  mingled  with  the  native  element  and  imbibed  the  best 
of  its  many  admirable  qualities.  * 

"As  the  industries  developed,  there  was  demand  for  men  skilled  in 
the  art  of  calico  printing,  and  a  superior  class  of  workmen  accord! nglv 
came  from  England  and  from  other  countries  to  add  their  intelligent 
influence  to  the  moral  progress  of  the  community  *  *. 

"The  corporations  were  under  necessity  to  provide  food  and 
shelter  for  those  they  employed.  They  adopted  Mr.  Lowell's  plan 
so  effectively  instituted  at  Waltham,  and  built  boarding  and  tene- 
ment houses.  Over  these  a  rigid  supervision  wras  maintained.  Tin- 
food  in  the  former  was  required  to  be  of  a  certain  standard.  The  rules 
governing  the  conduct  of  those  who  lived  in  the  boarding  houses 
were  rather  strict,  but  they  were  wholesome." 

One  of  the  New  England  girls  who  worked  in  the  Lowell  mills 
during  this  period  has  givin  an  interesting  account  of  the  situation 
which  existed  during  her  employment.  In  writing  of  the  methods  by 
which  the  mill  girls  were  secured,  and  the  conditions  under  which  they 
lived  and  worked,  her  description  affords  a  pleasing  contrast  with  the 
Lowell  of  the  present." 

"Troops  of  young  girls  came,"  she  writes,  "by  stages  and  baggage 
wagons,  men  often  being  employed  to  go  to  other  States  and  to 
Canada  to  collect  them  at  so  much  per  head  and  deliver  them  to  the 
factories. 

"A  very  curious  sight  these  country  girls  presented  to  young  eyes 
accustomed  to  a  more  modern  style  of  things.  When  the  large 
covered  baggage  wagon  arrived  in  front  of  a  block  of  the  corporation 
they  would  descend  from  it,  dressed  in  various  and  outlandish 
fashions,  and  with  their  arms  brimful  of  bandboxes  containing  all 
their  worldly  goods.  On  each  of  these  was  sewred  a  card,  on  which 
one  could  read  the  old-fashioned  New  England  name  of  the 


owner  *. 

<  r 


'Except  in  rare  instances,  the  rights  of  the  early  mill  girls  were 
secure.  They  were  subject  to  no  extortion;  if  they  did  extra  work 
they  were  always  paid  in  full,  and  their  own  account  of  labor  done  by 
the  piece  was  always  accepted.  They  kept  the  figures  and  were 
paid  accordingly.  This  was  notably  the  case  with  the  weavers  and 
drawing-in  girls.  Though  the  hours  of  labor  were  long,  they  were 
not  overworked;  they  were  obliged  to  tend  no  more  looms  and 
frames  than  they  could  easily  take  care  of,  and  they  had  plenty  of 
time  to  sit  and  rest  *  *. 

'Their  life  in  the  factory  was  made  pleasant  to  them.  In  those 
days  there  was  no  need  of  advocating  the  doctrine  of  the  proper  rela- 
tion between  employer  and  employed  *  *. 

"The  knowledge  of  the  antecedents  of  these  operatives  was  the 
safeguard  of  their  liberties.  The  majority  of  them  were  as  well  born 
as  their  'overlookers/  if  not  better;  and  they  were  also  far  better 
educated  *  *.

"Those  of  the  mill  girls  who  had  homes  generally  worked  from  eight 
to  ten  months  in  the  year;  the  rest  of  the  time  was  spent  with  parents 
or  friends.  A  few  taught  school  during  the  summer  months  *  *. 

"The  life  in  the  boarding  houses  was  very  agreeable.  These 
houses  belonged  to  the  corporation,  and  were  usually  kept  by  widows 
(mothers  of  mill  girls)  who  were  often  the  friends  and  advisors  of 
their  boarders  *  *. 

"Each  house  was  a  village  or  community  of  itself.  There  fifty  or 
sixty  young  women  from  different  parts  of  New  England  met  and 
lived  together.  When  not  at  their  work,  by  natural  selection  they 
sat  in  groups  in  their  chambers,  or  in  a  corner  of  the  large  dining  room, 
busy  at  some  agreeable  employment;  or  they  wrote  letters,  read, 
studied,  or  sewed,  for,  as  a  rule,  they  were  their  own  seamstresses 
and  dressmakers." 

Charles  Dickens,  during  his  tour  of  the  United  States  visited 
Lowell  and  has  recorded  his  observations  in  his  American  Notes. 
Concerning  the  American  girl  operatives  and  the  impression  they 
made  upon  him,  he  had  the  following  to  say:a 

"These  girls,  as  I  have  said,  were  all  well  dressed;  and  that  phrase 
necessarily  includes  extreme  cleanliness.  They  had  serviceable 
bonnets,  good  warm  cloaks  and  shawls,  and  were  not  above  clogs  and 
pattens.  Moreover,  there  were  places  in  the  mill  in  which  they  could 
deposit  these  things  without  injury;  and  there  were  conveniences  for 
washing.  They  were  healthy  in  appearance,  many  of  them  remark- 
ably so,  and  had  the  manners  and  deportment  of  young  women; 
not  of  degraded  brutes  of  burden  * 

"The  rooms  in  which  they  worked  were  as  well  ordered  as  them- 
selves. In  the  windows  of  some  there  were  green  plants,  which  were 
trained  to  shade  the  glass ;  in  all,  there  was  as  much  fresh  air,  cleanli- 
ness, and  comfort  as  the  nature  of  the  occupation  would  possibly 
admit  of.  Out  of  so  large  a  number  of  females,  many  of  whom  were 
only  then  just  verging  upon  womanhood,  it  may  be  reasonably  sup- 
posed that  some  were  delicate  and  fragile  in  appearance;  no  doubt 
there  were.  But  I  solemnly  declare  that,  from  all  the  crowd  I  saw 
in  the  different  factories  that  day,  I  can  not  recall  or  separate  one 
young  face  that  gave  me  a  painful  impression;  not  one  young  girl 
whom,  assuming  it  to  be  a  matter  of  necessity  that  she  should  gain 
her  daily  bread  by  the  labor  of  her  hands,  I  would  have  removed 
from  those  works  if  I  had  had  the  power  *  *. 

"They  reside  in  various  boarding  houses  near  at  hand.  The 
owners  of  the  mills  are  particularly  careful  to  allow  no  persons  to 
enter  upon  the  possession  of  these  houses  whose  characters  have  not 
undergone  the  most  searching  and  thorough  inquiry.  Any  com- 
plaint that  is  made  against  them  by  the  boarders,  or  by  any  one  else, 
is  fully  investigated,  and  if  good  ground  for  complaint  be  shown  to 
exist  against  them,  they  are  removed,  and  their  occupation  is  handed 
over  to  some  more  deserving  person.  There  are  a  few  children 
employed  in  these  factories,  but  not  many.  The  laws  of  the  State 
forbid  their  working  more  than  nine  months  in  the  year,  and  require 
that  they  be  educated  during  the  other  three.  For  this  purpose 
there  are  schools  in  Lowell,  and  there  are  churches  and  chapels  of

various  persuasions,  in  which  the  young  women  may  observe  that 
form  of  worship  in  which  they  have  been  educated. 

"I  am  now  going  to  state  three  facts  which  will  startle  a  large  class 
of  readers  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic  very  much. 

"Firstly,  there  is  a  joint  stock  piano  in  a  great  many  of  the  boarding 
houses.  Secondly,  nearly  all  these  young  ladies  subscribe  to  circulat- 
ing libraries  Thirdly,  they  have  got  up  among  themselves  a 
periodical." 

The  state  of  affairs  and  the  operative  class  described  above  con- 
tinued until  about  1840,  when  the  expansion  of  the  industry  exceeded 
the  local  labor  resources  and  it  became  necessary  to  secure  operatives 
from  localities  in  this  country  outside  of  New  England,  as  well  as 
from  Canada,  Great  Britain,  and  northern  Europe. 

Immigration  to  the  industry  from  Canada  and  Great  Britain  was 
characteristic  of  the  period  1840-1880.  Members  of  the  English, 
Irish,  and  Scotch  races,  as  already  mentioned,  immigrated  to  the 
New  England  cotton-goods  centers  at  an  early  date.  Small  numbers 
of  skilled  English  operatives  were  secured  from  the  British  textile- 
manufacturing  towns  in  the  early  history  of  the  development  of  the 
industry  in  New  England.  Considerable  numbers  of  Irish  were  also 
employed  in  the  unskilled  work  in  connection  with  the  erection  of  the 
mills  and  the  construction  of  the  locks  and  canals  in  certain  localities, 
such  as  Lowell,  to  furnish  the  necessary  water  power.  Although 
both  of  these  races  gradually  continued  to  come,  the  heavy  immigra- 
tion of  the  Irish  did  not  set  in  until  after  1840,  and  of  the  English 
until  thirty  years  later.  The  Irish  were  employed  in  the  mills  in  the 
largest  numbers  during  the  forties  and  fifties,  and  the  English  during 
the  seventies;  both  races,  however,  continuing  to  seek  work  in  the 
cotton  mills  in  gradually  diminishing  numbers  up  to  1895.  Although 
the  Scotch  and  Germans  were  early  settlers  in  the  mill  towns  and 
have  always  been  represented  among  the  cotton-mill  operatives,  the 
extent  to  which  these  races  have  been  employed  in  the  industry  has 
always  been  of  comparatively  small  importance.  By  the  year  1895 
the  immigration  of  all  races  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe 
to  the  cotton-goods  manufacturing  centers  of  the  North  Atlantic 
States  had  practically  stopped. 

As  soon  as  the  expansion  of  the  cotton  industry  in  New  England 
rendered  it  necessary  to  go  beyond  the  local  labor  supply,  an  attempt 
was  made  to  secure  operatives  from  Canada.  Considerable  numbers 
of  French  Canadians  entered  the  mills  during  the  fifties,  but  the 
heaviest  immigration  of  this  race  was  during  the  period  of  ten  years 
following  immediately  upon  the  close  of  the  civil  war.  During  the 
next  thirty-five  years  they  continued  to  arrive  in  large  numbers,  but 
during  the  past  decade  small  additions  to  the  operating  forces  have 
been  made  by  this  race. 

Since  the  year  1885,  and  especially  during  the  past  fifteen  years, 
the  operatives  of  the  cotton  mills  have  been  mainly  recruited  from 
the  races  of  southern  and  eastern  Europe  and  from  the  Orient.  There 
were  very  few  representatives  of  these  races  in  the  mills  before  1890. 
During  the  decade  1890-1900,  however,  the  movement  of  races  from 
the  south  and  east  of  Europe  set  in  rapidly.  Immigration  from  Great 
Britain  and  northern  Europe,  as  already  noticed,  had  practically 
ceased,  and  from  Canada  was  on  a  reduced  basis  as  compared  with 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  59 

former  years.  Of  the  new  immigrant  operatives,  the  Greeks,  Portu- 
guese, and  Bravas  from  the  western  islands,  Poles,  Russians,  and 
Italians  came  in  the  largest  numbers.  During  the  past  ten  years  the 
immigration  of  all  the  above-mentioned  races  has  continued  in  undi- 
miiiished  proportions.  Other  races  have  also  sought  work  in  the  cot- 
ton mills,  the  most  important  in  point  of  numbers  having  been  the 
Lithuanians,  Hebrews,  Syrians,  Bulgarians,  and  Turks.  At  the  pres- 
ent time  immigration  from  the  older  sources  has  ceased  or  been  reduced 
to  unimportant  proportions,  and  the  races  of  recent  immigration, 
so  far  as  numbers  are  concerned,  are  rapidly  attaining  an  ascendancy 
in  the  industry. 

The  Americans,  who  formerly  composed  the  bulk  of  the  cotton-mill 
operatives  in  the  North  Atlantic  States,  at  the  present  time  form  only 
about  one-fifth  of  the  total  number  of  the  employees  in  the  cotton 
mills,  and  are  divided  in  about  equal  proportions  between  males  and 
females.  If  the  employees  of  the  second  generation  of  immigrant 
races,  or,  in  other  words,  persons  native-born  of  foreign  father,  be 
added  to  this  pure  American  stock,  or  those  native-born  of  native 
father,  the  total  number  of  native-born  operatives  amount  to  about 
three-tenths  of  the  operating  forces  of  the  North  Atlantic  mills.  The 
remaining  part  of  the  operatives,  or  about  seven-tenths,  is  composed 
of  employees  of  foreign  birth.  Of  the  total  foreign-born  operatives, 
more  than  three-fifths  are  representatives  of  races  of  southern  and 
eastern  Europe  and  the  Orient,  the  remaining  two-fifths  being  com- 
posed mainly  of  English,  Irish,  and  French  Canadians,  with  a  rela- 
tively small  number  of  Scotch,  Germans,  Swedes,  Dutch,  and  French. 
The  French  Canadians,  among  the  foreign-born,  are  emplo}^ed  at  pres- 
ent in  greater  proportions  than  any  other  race,  the  proportion  of 
French  Canadian  cotton-mill  operatives  being  about  equal  to,  if  not 
in  excess  of,  the  Americans.  The  English  furnish  about  one-tenth 
and  the  Irish  about  one-twentieth  of  the  total  number  of  employees 
in  the  industry.  Of  the  operatives  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe, 
the  Poles,  Portuguese,  and  Greeks,  in  the  order  named,  furnish  the 
largest  proportions,  the  total  number  of  these  races  constituting  more 
than  one-fourth  of  the  total  number  employed.  More  than  thirty 
other  races  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe  are  also  working  in  the 
cotton  mills  of  the  North  Atlantic  States;  the  North  and  South 
Italians,  Lithuanians,  Russians,  and  Bulgarians  or  Macedonians 
being  numerically  the  most  important.  Several  oriental  races,  includ- 
ing Turks,  Persians,  and  Syrians,  are  also  found  in  comparatively 
small  numbers.  The  larger  part  of  the  female  employees  at  the  pres- 
ent time  are  made  up  of  English,  Irish,  and  Canadian  French  oper- 
atives, both  of  the  first  and  second  generations,  together  with  large 
proportions  of  Portuguese  and  Polish  women.  The  American  females, 
as  already  stated,  form  only  about  one-tenth  of  the  total  number  of 
female  operatives. 

Fall  River,  New  Bedford,  and  Lowell,  Mass.,  Manchester,  N.  H., 
and  other  centers  of  the  same  sort,  all  have  a  large  proportion  of 
French  Canadians,  Manchester  showing  the  highest  percentage  of 
employees  of  that  race.  Manchester  has  also  the  largest  proportion 
of  Polish  operatives,  although  that  race  is  well  represented  in  the 
other  three  cities.  The  Irish  and  English,  who  are  also  employed

extensively  in  all  localities,  have  their  largest  representation  in  Lowell 
and  New  Bedford,  Fall  River  being  a  close  second  in  the  case  of  each 
race.  The  Portuguese  are  employed  in  largest  proportions  in  New 
Bedford  and  Fall  River.  Only  an  unimportant  percentage  of  Greeks 
are  working  in  Fall  River  and  Ne\\  Bedford,  hut  in  Manchester.  X.  II., 
the  Greeks  make  up  one-twentieth,  and  in  Lowell  more  than  one-six  t  h, 
of  the  total  number  of  operatives.  The  other  rares  are  scattered  in 
comparatively  small  numbers  through  all  the  localitic  -  .  Fall  River  and 
Lowell  having  the  largest  number  of  races  in  their  mills. 

WOOLEN  AND  WORSTED  GOODS  MANUFACTURING  ESTABI.ISHMKNTS. 

The  racial  movements  to  the  woolen  and  worsted  goods  manufac- 
turing establishments  in  New  England  may  be  Well  illustrated  by 
history  of  immigration  to  Lawrence,  Mass.,  a  representative  woolen- 
goods  manufacturing  community. 

The  possibility  of  water  power  at  what  is  now  Lawrence.  Mass.,  was 
discovered  as  early  as  1837,  but  no  attempt  was' made  to  develop  it 
until  eight  years  later.  In  1845  a  dam  was  constructed  by  a  water- 
power  company  at  a  cost  of  $250,000.  A  village  was  established  in 
the  same  year,  and  by  1847  its  population  had  increased  from  not 
more  than  200  to  3,577  souls.  The  earliest  of  the  mills,  the  prede- 
cessor of  the  present  mill  No.  2,  was  laid  out  in  1846.  Others  fol- 
lowed during  the  fifties  and  the  sixties. 

A  local  newspaper  analyzed  the  population  of  the  town  in  1848  as 
follows :

This  table  is  significant  in  that  it  shows  what  is  borne  out  by  later 
censuses — that  the  large  foreign-born  population  of  the  city  is  no 
new  condition  of  things,  but  has  existed  continuously  from  the 
founding  of  the  village. 

Irish. — Irish  population  of  Lawrence  is  as  old  as  the  city  itself,  there 
being  no  fewer  than  1,200  of  that  race  residing  there  within  two 
years  of  the  first  settlement,  which  occurred  in  1845.  In  1848  the 
Irish  numbered  2,139.  In  April,  1846,  religious  services  were  held 
in  Catholic  homes,  and  soon  afterwards  a  wooden  chapel  was  erected. 
At  the  present  time  the  Irish  population  of  the  community — that  is, 
the  population  of  the  Irish  Catholic  parishes — is  about  21,000,  or  by 
far  the  largest  racial  element  in  the  population  of  the  city. 

English  and  Scotch. — About  1865  there  occurred  a  heavy  immigra- 
tion of  skilled  textile  workers  from  the  counties  of  Yorkshire  and  Lan- 
cashire, England.  A  large  number  of  English  had  entered  the  com- 
munity previous  to  1865,  and  in  the  decades  which  have  followed 
additional  emigration  from  the  worsted  districts  of  England  has 
occurred  as  the  worsted  industry  in  this  community  has  developed. 
During  the  past  few  years  a  number  of  English  from  the  counties  of 
Yorkshire  and  Lancashire  have  immigrated  to  the  city  as  in  the 
earlier  days,  but  the  numbers  reached  have  not  been  very  large.  It 
is  very  difficult  to  estimate  the  English  population  at  the  present 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  61 

time,  for,  unlike  the  Irish,  the  English  are  confined  within  no 
parochial  bounds.  They  probably  number  about  9,000  or  10,000. 
The  Scotch  population  is  similarly  mingled  with  other  elements.  It 
probably  numbers  between  2,000  and  2,500. 

French  Canadian. — In  1865  the  number  of  persons  in  the  community 
born  in  "British  America"  was  563.  In  1875  there  were  1,924  born  in 
the  "Dominion  of  Canada."  French  Canadian  immigration  appears 
to  have  progressed  more  slowly  than  to  the  more  distinctively  cotton 
towns  of  New  England.  It  was  1871  when  the  subject  of  organizing  a 
church  among  them  was  first  agitated.  In  1875  a  church  building  was 
secured,  and  in  1878  there  were  about  1,300  communicants.  At  the 
present  time  the  French  Canadian  population  numbers  about  12,000. 
During  the  industrial  depression  of  1907  possibly  2,000  returned  to 
Canada  or  left  the  community  for  other  places  in  the  United  States. 
Most  of  the  people  who  went  to  Canada  were  waiting  for  better 
industrial  conditions  before  returning  to  the  United  States,  and  in 
the  meantime  worked  on  farms.  In  times  of  industrial  activity  the 
seasonal  immigration  to  Canada  is  not  very  large.  It  is  noticeable 
in  the  community  as  elsewhere  that  after  fifteen  or  twenty  years' 
residence  in  this  country  the  birth  rate  of  French  Canadians  is  much 
less  than  at  the  time  of  their  arrival.  The  men  realize  the  financial 
burden  imposed  by  a  large  family,  and  the  women  learn  to  prize  a 
measure  of  ease  and  freedom. 

German. — The  first  German  church  was  organized  in  May,  1872,  and 
the  next  year  it  was  incorporated  as  the  "German  Church  and  School 
Society."  As  early  as  1853,  however,  5  German  families  had  settled  in 
Lawrence  and  the  total  German  population  at  that  time  was  not  far 
from  40.  In  1908  local  newspapers  estimated  the  German  popu- 
lation at  12,000  and  the  German-speaking  population,  including 
certain  Jews,  Poles,  and  Russians,  at  15,000.  It  is  also  maintained 
that,  next  to  Boston,  Lawrence  was  the  largest  German  center 
in  New  England.  The  Germans  of  the  community  came  principally 
from  the  textile  districts  of  Saxony,  Bavaria,  and  Silesia,  and  a  large 
number  of  the  weavers  in  the  worsted  mills  are  of  the  German  race. 

Polish. — Polish  immigrants  have  been  numbered  among  the  popula- 
tion of  the  city  only  during  the  past  fifteen  or  twenty  years.  The  cen- 
sus of  1895  showed  but  15  born  in  Poland.  In  1903  there  are  said  to 
have  been  600  Poles  in  the  city.  The  Polish  Roman  Catholic  Church 
was  established  that  year.  At  the  present  time  there  are  about  2,100 
Poles  in  the  city.  Of  these,  about  two-thirds  are  from  Galicia  in 
Austro-Hungary,  nearly  one-third  from  Russia,  and  about  2  per  cent 
are  from  Posen,  Germany. 

Portuguese. — A  small  number  of  Portuguese  immigrants  were  found 
among  the  foreign  population  of  the  city  soon  after  the  close  of  the 
civil  war.  It  is  only  within  the  past  ten  years  that  their  numbers  have 
increased  to  any  considerable  extent.  A  church  was  organized  in 
1906.  At  present  the  Portuguese  population  is  about  685. 

Hebrew. — Hebrew  immigration  to  Lawrence  has  taken  place  mainly 
within  the  last  twenty  years.  One  of  the  oldest  Hebrew  residents  in 
the  city  stated  that  in  1890  there  were  about  50  Hebrew  families  in 
the  city,  as  compared  with  about  400  at  the  present  time.  Estimat- 
ing 6  individuals  to  a  family,  this  would  give  a  Hebrew  population 
at  present  of  nearly  2,500.  Many  Hebrews  enter  the  mills,  out  sooner

or  later  pass  out  into  sonic  business  venture  of  their  own.  K  at  her 
more  than  usual  of  their  race  are  found  employed  as  mill  operatives, 
due  perhaps  lo  the  fact  that  a  part  of  the  Hebrew  population  came 
from  cities  in  Russia,  such  as  AYarsaw,  which  are  seats  of  the  textile 
industry. 

/hi/inn. — The  Italian  population  of  Lawrence  was  very  small  pre- 
vious to  1895.  Since  that  tune  the  increase  has  been  rapid,  due  hi  part 
to  artificial  stimulation  by  the  management  of  one  or  two  of  the  larger 
A\  orst  ed  mills.  The  Italian  priest  stated  that  when  Jie  came  to  the 
city  in  1902  there  was  an  Italian  population  of  2,000,  that  by  1(.M)."> 
it  had  increased  to  about  5,000,  and  that  in  1906  his  own  census 
showed  a  total  of  9;700.  At  present  the  Italian  population  is  about 
15,000,  so  this  priest  claims,  but  from  inquiry  in  other  quarters  it  is 
thought  that  these  figures  must  be  rather  too  high,  and  that  prob- 
ably 8,000  would  be  a  safer  estimate  for  the  present  population. 
The  growth,  however,  during  the  past  few  years  has  been  rapid. 
All  but  a  few  families  are  South  Italians.  From  1,100  to  1,500  went 
back  to  Italy  during  the  depression  of  1907.  At  the  present  time 
from  50  to  75  Italians  are  coming  into  the  city  each  month. 

Syrian. — The  census  of  1895  was  the  first  which  showed  any 
appreciable  number  of  immigrants  from  the  Turkish  Empire.  The 
majority  of  the  213  reported  that  year  were  no  doubt  Syrians.  The 
greater  part  of  the  colony  has  come  within  the  past  ten  years.  The 
total  Syrian  population  at  the  present  time  is  between  2,500  and 
3,000.  There  are  a  large  number  of  families,  and  about  a  fourth  of 
the  population  consists  of  children  under  16  years  of  age.  The  reports 
and  savings  of  the  iirst  Syrian  immigrants  formed  the  incentive 
needed  to  bring  their  fellow-countrymen.  The  greater  part  of  the 
Syrian  population  is  employed  in  the  textile  mills,  but  a  considerable 
number  of  stores — about  25 — have  been  established  by  Syrians. 
These  are  usually  small  grocery,  fruit,  or  general  stores.  There  are 
four  Syrian  farmers  in  the  vicinity,  one  Syrian  physician,  and  one 
dentist  practicing  in  the  city.  The  Syrian  population  has  permanent 
employment,  and  only  a  score  or  so  of  the  race  left  the  city  during 
the  panic  year  of  1907.  There  is  a  tendency  on  the  part  of  Syrians 
to  remain  permanently  in  this  country;  but,  if  conditions  change 
decisively  for  the  better  in  Turkey,  it  is  probable  that  the  current 
will  flow  in  the  other  direction,  for  the  soil  there  is  more  fertile 
while  living  is  cheaper.  The  majority  of  the  Syrians  in  Lawrence 
are  from  the  Mount  Lebanon  district.  About  60  per  cent  of  the 
Syrians  are  able  to  speak  English,  some  of  them  having  received 
training  in  American  schools  in  their  own  land.  In  religion  the 
Syrians  of  the  city  are  divided  roughly  as  follows : 

Roman  Catholic  (Maronite) 1,  200 

Roman  Catholic  (Greek  rite) 800 

Greek  Orthodox 800 

Protestant 150 

Mohammedan..  50

Armenian. — The  Armenian  population  of  the  community  numbers 
about  600,  of  whom  about  one-sixth  are  Protestants  and  the  rest 
Gregorian  Catholics.  Most  of  the  Armenians  work  in  the  mills. 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  63 

Since  constitutional  government  has  been  established  in  Turkey, 
egress  from  the  Empire  has  been  possible,  and  more  Armenians  have 
come  to  this  country  than  formerly.  This  tendency  is  likely  to  con- 
tinue, so  that  in  time  the  Armenian  population  may  equal  the  Syrian. 
Armenian  immigration  to  Community  A  dates  from  about  fifteen 
years  ago. 

Lithuanian. — The  first  Lithuanian  came  to  Lawrence  in  1885  and 
the  second  in  188S.  A  Lithuanian  society  was  organized  in  1894 
with  12  members.  In  1898  the  Lithuanian  population  numbered 
300.  A  Lithuanian  church  was  established  in  1905.  The  population 
has  about  doubled  within  the  past  three  years,  and  at  the  present 
time  numbers  about  3,000  persons.  The  Lithuanians  have  been 
drawn  to  the  community  by  the  opportunity  for  employment  in  the 
mills. 

Franco-Belgian. — These  people  are  for  the  most  part  French- 
speaking  textile  workers  from  Belgium  and  the  adjacent  districts  of 
France  who  have  been  coming  to  a  number  of  American  wool  and 
worsted  towns  where  they  find  employment  as  skilled  operatives. 
The  larger  part  are  weavers.  Carpenters  and  other  mechanics  are 
also  found  among  them.  The  first  immigrants  of  this  race  to  Com- 
munity A  came  about  fifteen  years  ago,  but  the  majority  have  arrived 
since  1905.  The  term  "race"  as  applied  to  these  people  may  be 
open  to  question,  as  a  considerable  mixture  of  bloods  has  occurred 
in  that  polyglot  corner  of  Europe.  Between  1,000  and  1,200  of  these 
people  have  already  made  their  homes  in  Lawrence  and  an  annual 
immigration  is  expected.  There  is  no  church  among  them,  and  there 
is  not  likely  to  be  one,  since,  like  man}T  Belgian  workingmen,  their 
inclinations  are  not  in  that  direction.  Unlike  the  French  Canadians, 
but  true  to  the  conditions  of  then1  own  land,  they  are  quick  to  espouse 
the  cause  of  trade  unionism  in  their  new  home.  The  recently  organ- 
ized weavers'  union  meets  in  the  hall  of  the  Franco-Belgian  Club.

The  manufacture  of  clothing  is  based  upon  a  different  form  of 
industrial  organization  and  has  an  operating  force  of  a  different 
character  from  that  of  the  textiles  or  bituminous  coal  mining.  A 
brief  review  of  the  racial  substitutions  which  have  occurred  in  the 
industry  will  therefore  be  of  value,  and  a  history  of  the  racial  changes 
which  have  occurred  in  connection  with  the  industry  in  the  laru'e 
clothing  manufacturing  centers  of  Chicago,  New  York,  and  Haiti- 
more  may  be  considered  as  representative  of  racial  displacements 
in  the  industry  as  a  whole. 

From  the  beginning  until  as  late  as  1890  Germans  were  almost 
exclusively  employed  in  shops  and  by  establishments  engaged  in 
the  manufacturing  of  clothing  in  Baltimore,  Md.  During  the  past 
twenty  years,  however,  a  very  large  number  of  Russian  Hebrews 
have  come  to  tins  locality,  most  of  whom  have  obtained  employ- 
ment in  this  industry.  Although  many  of  this  race  were  tailors  l>\ 
trade,  they  entered  the  less  skilled  occupations  in  the  shops  and 
factories  of  Baltimore.  A  very  short  time  afterwards,  or  in  IS1.)."), 
the  Lithuanians  entered  the  industry,  and  they  were  followed,  in 
1900,  by  the  Bohemians,  Poles,  Italians,  and  representatives  of  a 
few  of  the  other  races  from  Austria-Hungary.  Since  1905,  the 
Russian  Hebrew,  Lithuanian,  and  Italian  have  been  the  principal 
races  from  which  the  manufacturers  have  obtained  their  necessary 
supply  of  labor.  The  early  history  of  clothing  manufacturing 
establishments  in  Chicago  differs  from  that  of  the  establishments  in 
Baltimore  in  that  not  only  the  Germans  but  the  German  Jews, 
Bohemians,  and  a  few  Americans  and  Poles  were  the  first  employees. 
About  fifteen  years  ago  the  Scandinavians  entered  the  industry  and 
within  a  short  time  became  very  proficient.  Following  the  Scandi- 
navians came  the  Russian  Jews,  who  were  employed  prior  to  either 
the  Italians  or  Lithuanians.  In  recent  j^ears,  nowever,  the  number 
of  Russian  Jews  entering  the  industry  has  increased  rapidly,  and  it 
is  from  this  source  that  clothing  manufacturing  establishments  have 
secured  the  greater  proportion  of  employees.  Unlike  the  tailoring 
shops  of  Baltimore  and  Chicago,  those  in  New  York  depended 
originally  upon  the  Irish,  who  predominated  from  1850  to  1888. 
The  introduction  of  machines  has  made  it  possible  to  employ  a  less 
intelligent  and  less  skilled  force  than  when  all  work  was  done  by 
hand.  From  1865  to  1888  a  few  Swedes,  and  from  1880  to  1890  the 
Germans  entered  the  industry.  Russian  and  Polish  Hebrews  first 
obtained  employment  in  large  numbers  from  1890  to  1895,  while  the 
Italians,  many  of  whom  were  employed  as  early  as  1880,  entered  the 
industry  in  largely  increased  numbers  in  1895,  and  are  now  sup- 
planting the  Russian  Hebrews. 

BOOT  AND  SHOE  MANUFACTURING  ESTABLISHMENTS. 

The  boot  and  shoe  manufacturing  industry,  like  that  of  the  tex- 
tiles, represents  the  highest  development  of  the  factory  system  with 
the  use  of  the  most  elaborate  machine  methods  and  the  most  minute 
division  of  labor.  As  a  result,  it  has  been  able  to  use  a  large  propor- 
tion of  unskilled  labor  in  the  operating  forces  of  the  boot  and  shoe 
factories,  and  as  a  consequence  a  high  percentage  of  unskilled  laborers 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  65 

have  been  employed.  A  history  of  immigration  to  a  number  of 
representative  establishments  in  New  England  and  the  Middle  West 
will  illustrate  the  racial  movements  to  and  the  racial  displacements 
in  the  industry. 


NEW    ENGLAND. 


As  illustrative  of  the  racial  changes  which  have  occurred  in  the 
operating  forces  in  the  New  England  States,  the  history  of  the  employ- 
ment of  the  several  races  of  operatives  in  a  number  of  representative 
establishments  is  set  forth  below.  To  prevent  identification,  each 
establishment  is  designated  by  a  numeral. 

Establishment  No.  1. — Establishment  No.  1,  in  Massachusetts,  in 
which  shoe  findings  are  manufactured,  was  established  about  ten 
years  ago.  With  the  exception  of  the  Greek,  all  races  now  repre- 
sented, together  with  the  Irish,  were  employed  when  the  plant  first 
began  operations.  The  Greeks  have  been  employed  only  within  the 
last  five  years,  while  all  of  the  Irish  and  very  nearly  all  of  the  native 
Americans  who  were  formerly  employed  have  left  the  plant  to  accept 
work,  in  most  instances,  in  the  more  skilled  occupations  of  the  same 
industry.  The  native  Americans  and  Irish  were  not  forced  out  of 
but  voluntarily  left  this  plant  as  they  became  old'er  and  more  capable, 
and  their  places  were  gradually  filled  by  the  more  recent  immigrants. 
At  the  present  time  the  racial  complexion  of  the  employees  of  this 
plant  is  as  follows:  Greek  33,  Hebrew  30,  Italian  6,  native  Ameri- 
can 4,  and  Polish  1 .  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Greeks  and  Hebrews 
constitute  over  85  per  cent  of  the  total  number  employed. 

Establishment  No.  2. — Establishment  No.  2,  in  Massachusetts,  in 
which  men's  shoes  are  manufactured,  has  been  in  operation  for  forty 
years.  When  operations  were  first  begun  native  American  whites 
and  Irish  were  employed  exclusively.  About  thirty  years  ago  the 
French  Canadians  secured  their  first  employment.  A  little  later  on 
the  Hebrews  entered  this  plant,  and  they  in  turn  were  closely  fol- 
lowed by  the  Italians.  It  has  only  been  within  the  last  fifteen  years 
that  the  Lithuanians  and  Poles  have  secured  employment,  while  the 
Greeks  were  first  employed  in  this  plant  upon  their  arrival  in  the 
community  five  years  ago.  There  has  been  no  sudden  change  in  the 
racial  complexion  of  the  employees  in  plant  No.  2,  for  the  more 
recent  immigrants  have  gradually  worked  in  as  the  business  expanded. 
Therefore  no  displacement  of  the  native  Americans  or  older  immi- 
grant employees  can  be  said  to  have  taken  place.  As  occasion 
demanded  and  the  more  recent  immigrants  sought  employment, 
they  were  employed  without  any  discrimination  whatever  for  or 
against  any  particular  race.  Of  the  few  older  employees  who  have 
gone  out  of  this  plant,  some,  it  is  said,  have  gone  into  the  Middle 
West  and  have  been  employed  in  the  same  industry  in  the  capacit}- 
of  foremen  and  superintendents.  Although  by  far  the  largest  num- 
ber of  employees  of  this  plant  are  classed  by  those  in  authority  as 
native  American  whites,  it  is  more  than  likely  that  the  largest  pro- 
portion of  those  so  designated  are  the  second  generation  of  the  older 
immigrants  from  northern  Europe.  Of  the  non-English  speaking 
races  employed  at  present  the  French  Canadian  largely  outnumber 
any  other.  Following  the  French  Canadian  is  the  Hebrew,  the 
representatives  of  which  constitute  a  much  larger  proportion  of  the

lot  ;il  number  of  employers  than  do  the  represent  a  I  ives  of  the  Greek, 
Italian,  Armenian,  Lithuanian,  Polish,  or  Syrian  race  in  the  order 
named. 

KxtaUishment  No.  3. — Twenty  years  ago  when  plant  No.  :>,  in 
which  women's  "turned"  shoes  and  slippers  are  manufactured  was 
established  in  Massachusetts,  it  was  the  custom  aiming  shoe  manu- 
facturers to  send  the  uppers  and  soles  out  into  the  houses  of  the 
farmers  and  cobblers  to  be  stitched  together  by  hand.  With  the 
invention  and  perfection  of  a  sewing  machine  for  this  purpose  this 
method  was  changed.  The  manufacturers  found  they  could  better 
control  the  work  and  that  the  output  would  be  largely  increased  by 
having  all  labor  done  within  the  factory.  Since  the  manufacturers 
o\\ned  the  machines  and  the  outside  cobblers  were  without  sudicient 
capital  to  install  them,  it  became  necessary  for  those  who  had  pre- 
viously been  employed  to  move  into  the  city,  provided  they  wished 
to  continue  in  the  same  trade.  It  was  fifteen  years  ago,  or  ju-f  about 
the  time  shoe-stitching  machinery  was  adopted,  that  the  Irish 
obtained  their  first  employment  in  this  factory.  Their  entrance  was 
coincident  with  the  expansion  of  the  factory  work  and  the  with- 
drawal from  the  shoemaking  trade  of  the  native  American  country 
people,  which  resulted  from  concentrating  all  labor  necessary  in 
manufacturing  shoes  in  factories.  Following  closely  upon  the 
employment  of  the  Irish  were  the  French  Canadians,  who,  with  the 
exception  of  the  native  Americans,  constitute  at  this  time  a  larger 
proportion  of  all  employees  than  do  the  representatives  of  any  other 
race.  The  representatives  of  the  other  races,  wrho,  in  each  instance, 
constitute  only  a  small  proportion  of  the  total  number  employed, 
have  obtained  employment  in  this  factory  from  time  to  time,  but 
not  in  sufficient  numbers  to  be  considered  a  factor  in  the  operation 
of  same.  As  showing  the  present  composition  of  the  employees  the 
following  statement,  which  exhibits,  by  race  of  individual,  the  num- 
ber of  each  race  in  specified  occupation,  is  herewith  submitted:

THK    MIDDLE    WEST. 

As  representative  of  racial  substitutions  in  connection  with  the 
industry  in  the  Middle  West,  the  history  of  immigration  to  boot  and 
shoe  manufacturing  establishments  in  St.  Louis  ma}T  be  presented. 
The  manufacture  of  shoes  in  St.  Louis  began  nearly  forty  years 
ago.  To  establish  the  industry  it  was  necessary  to  secure  men  as 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  67 


foremen  who  had  had  training  and  experience.  New  England  at 
the  time  occupied  the  commanding  position  in  this  industry,  and  it 
was  toward  this  section  that  St.  Louis  turned  for  well-trained  men. 
The  men  secured  were  native  whites,  and  these  men,  as  foremen, 
together  with  local  native  whites  and  Germans  and  Irish,  formed  the 
working  nucleus  of  what  has  become  one  of  the  most  important 
industries  in  St.  Louis  to-day.  As  the  industry  expanded  the  more 
skilled  of  this  force  were  employed  by  other  companies  or  in  other 
plants  of  the  same  company,  in  the  same  capacity  as  were  those  from 
New  England.  Only  within  the  last  ten  years  have  the  more  recent 
immigrants  to  this  country  entered  the  industry  in  this  particular 
section,  of  whom  the  first  were  Italians  employed  in  1900.  This 
race  was  followed  by  the  Bohemians  and  Poles  in  1902,  the  Greek, 
Armenian,  and  a  few  Turks  in  1904,  and  a  small  number  of  Swedes 
and  Magyars  in  1905.  In  the  opinion  of  the  officials  of  several  com- 
panies, not  over  16  per  cent  of  the  employees  in  this  locality  are  of 
the  more  recent  immigrant  races.  This  proportion,  when  the  large 
number  of  employees  is  considered,  is  a  very  small  percentage. 
Moreover,  a  considerable  proportion  is  of  the  second  generation. 
From  officials  and  employees  long  in  the  service  of  their  respective 
companies  it  may  be  assumed  that  the  races  previously  named  are 
the  only  ones  that  have  become  a  factor  in  operating  the  various 
plants.  In  St.  Louis,  as  in  other  large  cities  where  the  various  plants 
are  so  widely  scattered,  the  racial  make-up  of  each  plant's  force  is 
governed  almost  entirely  by  its  location.  By  way  of  illustration, 
one  plant  is  located  in  the  heart  of  an  Irish  and  German  community, 
another  in  a  Polish,  and  still  another  in  a  section  of  St.  Louis  where 
the  Bohemians  are  quite  strong.  Wherever  this  preponderance  of 
one  race  over  another  is  found  this  race  predominates  over  the  others 
not  so  strongly  represented  in  the  various  plants,  the  Americans 
being  an  exception.  The  more  recent  immigrants  have  entered, 
without  exception,  the  unskilled  occupations.  Rare  exceptions  in 
the  case  of  individuals  have  been  noted.  In  this  connection  the 
Italian  is  more  favorably  commented  on  than  the  others.  This  is 
attributed  to  his  knowledge  of  the  needle  and  knife  gained  in  his 
native  country,  where  many  of  the  race  have  worked  as  "cobblers." 
There  are  certain  occupations  requiring  a  little  instruction  that  these 
people  enter,  but  such  should  be  termed  specialized  rather  than 
skilled. 

GLASS  MANUFACTURING. 

Racial  displacements  in  the  glass  manufacturing  industry  are  of 
peculiar  interest  because  of  the  invention  of  machinery  within  recent 
years  which  has  made  possible  the  extensive  employment  of  unskilled 
labor  in  factories  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  plate  and  window 
glass  and  glass  bottles.  In  the  early  development  of  the  industry 
it  was  necessary  to  secure  skilled  glass  workers  from  glass  manu- 
facturing centers  in  Europe.  At  the  present  time  it  is  possible  to 
recruit  a  large  proportion  of  the  operating  forces  from  the  untrained 
and  inexperienced  immigrant  labor  supply  of  southern  and  eastern 
Europe.  A  brief  account  of  the  history  of  immigration  within  recent 
years  to  a  number  of  representative  glass  manufacturing  localities 
in  different  sections  of  the  country  will  illustrate  the  racial  displace- 
ments which  have  occurred  in  the  industry. 


68  The  Immigration  Commission. 


I   MM  Ml    MM       \. 


Community  A  supports  only  two  industrial  establishments,  one  a 

plate-glass  factory  and  the  oilier  a  pottery  works.  The  latter  is  of 
tittle  importance  and  employs  only  a  very  small  number  of  immi- 
grants. The  total  population  of  the  town  is  about  2,000,  and  its 
history  of  immigration  is  contained  in  the  history  of  t  lie  racial  changes 
\vjiich  have  taken  place  in  the  glass  plant. 

The  plate-glass  plant  was  started  in  1886,  as  the  property  of  an 
important  glass  company,  with  a  nucleus  of  Belgian,  Knglish,  and 
German  workers  who  were  brought  from  other  plants  of  the  company 
in  the  United  States  to  serve  as  skilled  workers.  All  of  the  work  at 
that  time  was  done  by  hand,  and  native  Americans  served  as  un- 
skilled laborers  and  were  apprenticed  with  the  idea  of  taking  the 
place  of  the  foreign  skilled  workmen  as  the  latter  dropped  out. 

When  this  company  first  began  operation  in  its  factories  in  other 
sections  of  the  United  States,  the  English  method  of  glass  making 
was  adopted.  In  1885  a  change  was  made  to  the  Belgian  method. 
In  both  instances  skilled  workers  were  imported  from  England  first 
and  afterwards  from  Belgium,  and  from  sections  of  Germany  where 
the  Belgian  methods  were  used.  There  were  no  skilled  American 
wTorkmcn  to  be  secured,  as  the  plate-glass  industry  was  new  in 
America.  The  importation  of  foreign  workmen  was  thus  indispen- 
sable in  establishing  the  plate-glass  industry  in  this  country.  The 
skilled  workmen  among  the  Americans  and  recent  immigrant  races 
have  learned  their  trade  under  Beligan  tutoring. 

After  1895,  however,  most  of  the  American  employees,  except  those 
who  had  become  skilled  workmen  or  who  held  responsible  positions 
of  an  executive  nature,  were  drawn  away  from  the  glass  industry 
into  the  steel  plants  in  and  about  Pittsburg  by  reason  of  the  higher 
wages,  and  it  was  necessary  for  the  company  to  look  elsewhere  for 
ordinary  labor,  as  well  as  for  material  out  of  which  to  develop  future 
skilled  labor.  As  early  as  1888  a  few  Poles,  Russians,  and  Slovaks 
were  secured,  but  not  in  sufficient  numbers  to  meet  the  demands  for 
unskilled  labor  until  after  1890.  They  gradually  took  the  place  of 
American  workers  after  that  date,  and  at  the  present  time  not  more 
than  20  per  cent  of  the  entire  force  of  the  plant  is  composed  of 
Americans. 

With  the  change  to  machine  methods  in  making  plate  glass  in  the 
Community  A  plant  and  the  gradual  exodus  of  the  original  skilled  hand 
workers  and  of  unskilled  Americans  to  other  industries,  the  demand 
for  labor  was  met  by  a  supply  of  Slovaks,  Poles,  and  Russians. 
In  1900  the  superintendent  of  the  plant  realized  the  change  which 
was  taking  place  and  that  his  plant  faced  a  competition  with  the  tin 
and  steel  mills,  as  well  as  other  plate-glass  plants,  in  the  labor  market. 
The  supply  of  skilled  labor  was  being  reduced,  and  the  material  out 
of  which  future  skilled  workers  could  be  drawn  was  being  lowered  by 
the  racial  change  from  American  to  cheap  foreign  labor. 

In  1902  the  total  number  of  employees  in  the  manufacturing 
department  of  the  local  plant  numbered  about  560,  consisting  of 
16  foremen,  290  skilled  workmen  (52  per  cent),  at  an  average  rate  of 
pay  of  20  cents  per  hour,  and  254  unskilled  workmen,  at  an  average 

Eay  of  13  cents  per  hour.     An  experiment  had  been  tried  to  raise  the 
jvel  of  the  unskilled  labor  in  1900  by  increasing  the  rate  of  pay  of 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report. 


69 


workers  in  the  construction  department  from  12^  cents  per  hour  to 
15  cents;  but  in  1902,  out  of  300  laborers  in  this  department,  there 
were  less  than  25  Americans  even  at  this  increased  rate  of  pay,  the 
rest  of  them  being  unskilled  Slovaks,  Poles,  and  Russians. 

The  plant  was  confronted  therefore  with  (1)  a  lessening  number  of 
skilled  glass  workers;  (2)  an  increasing  number  of  unskilled  Slovak, 
Polish,  and  Russian  immigrants,  who  the  company  did  not  believe  it 
could  advance  into  skilled  occupations;  and  (3)  an  unsuccessful 
competition  for  American  labor  with  the  various  branches  of  the 
steel  industry. 

It  soon  became  possible  to  substitute  machinery  for  some  of  the 
skilled  occupations,  such  as  laying,  grinding,  and  polishing,  which 
the  racial  changes  practically  demanded.  The  Belgians  and  other 
skilled  glass  workers  were  retained  in  those  positions  requiring  skill 
in  hand  work,  while  Americans  and  workmen  of  other  races  who 
possessed  enough  intelligence  were  put  in  charge  of  the  machines. 
Each  machine  displaced  several  skilled  hand  workers,  but  the  increase 
in  the  output  required  an  increase  of  about  the  same  number  of 
unskilled  workers  in  the  casting  rooms. 

Within  recent  years  not  only  have  Poles  and  Slovaks  come  to  Com- 
munity A,  but  also  a  number  of  Macedonians,  together  with  a  few  Ital- 
ians. Several  racial  movements  may  thus  be  distinguished  in  the 
history  of  the  plate-glass  plant,  which  can  be  grouped  as  follows: 

First,  the  use  of  skilled  glass  workers  imported  by  the  company 
from  England  to  plants  in  other  parts  of  the  United  States  and  then 
brought  to  the  new  plant  in  Community  A. 

Second,  the  change  from  the  English  methods  of  glass  making  to 
the  Belgian  method  and  the  importation  of  Belgians  and  Germans  to 
the  various  older  plants  of  the  company  from  where  they  were  taken 
to  serve  as  skilled  workers  in  the  new  plant.  At  this  time,  a  system 
of  apprenticeship  was  also  inaugurated  in  the  hope  that  native 
Americans  would  learn  glass  making. 

Third,  the  drawing  away  of  native  unskilled  workmen  into  the 
steel  mills  and  of  skilled  Belgians  and  English  into  new  independent 
glass  plants. 

Fourth,  the  coming  of  Slovaks,  Poles,  Russians,  and  Macedonians 
into  the  unskilled  occupations. 

Fifth,  the  advancement  of  a  few  natives,  nearly  all  of  the  second- 
generation  Belgians,  Germans,  and  English  glass  makers,  and  of  a 
small  number  of  Slovaks  and  Poles  into  the  skilled  occupations. 

The  following  statement  presents  the  number  of  persons  employed 
by  the  plate-glass  plant  in  1909,  by  race  and  number  of  years  employed:

In  1  90!)  ( 'omniunity  B  supported  an  est  imated  populat  ion  of  1 ,200 
individuals,  of  whom  about-  (10  per  cent  were  immigrants.  An  impor- 
tant window-glass  factory,  employing  under  normal  business  condi- 
tions about  700  wage-earners,  constitutes  the  industrial  importance 
of  the  town.  If  it  were  not  for  the  glass  plant  the  place  would  be  of 
no  importance  either  from  a  business  or  an  industrial  standpoint. 

The  racial  history  of  the  glass  plant  is  the  history  of  immigration 
to  Community  A.  In  1892  the  factory  was  erected  and  placed  in 
operation  with  a  working  force  of  about  600,  of  which  about  .">()  per 
cent  were  native  Americans,  40  per  cent  Belgians,  5  per  cent  English, 
and  T>  per  cent  Germans.  The  Belgians,  English,  and  Germans  \\cic 
employed  in  the  skilled  occupations,  while  the  Americans  filled  the 
unskilled  positions. 

The  composition  of  the  employees  remained  practically  unchanged 
until  1000,  when  the  unskilled  native  workmen  began  to  enter  the 
tin  mills  located  in  an  adjoining  town.  Their  places  were  filled  bv 
unskilled  Italian  glass  workers.  The  skilled  Belgian  workers  began 
a  like  emigration  from  the  community  about  the  same  time,  going, 
in  the  majority  of  cases,  to  the  glass  communities  farther  westward. 
A  number  of  unskilled  American  laborers  were  gradually  promoted  to 
the  places  left  vacant  by  the  Belgians,  until  the  year  1903,  when 
machinery  was  introduced  throughout  the  establishment. 

In  1903  machinery  was  introduced  in  all  departments  of  the  plant 
except  in  the  flattening  and  cutting  rooms.  The  introduction  of 
machinery  was  opposed  by  the  labor  unions,  and  in  1904  a  strike  was 
called,  with  the  result  that  all  of  the  employees  of  the  plant,  with  the 
exception  of  the  flatteners  and  cutters,  were  placed  upon  a  nonunion 
basis.  The  Bohemians  and  skilled  native  workmen  left  the  factory  on 
the  failure  of  the  strike,  and  native  machine  runners,  many  of  whom 
had  been  employed  as  skilled  laborers,  were  put  in  their  places.  In 
the  places  left  vacant  by  the  advancement  of  the  unskilled  native 
workmen  were  employed  unskilled  Italians,  Poles,  Slovaks,  Mace- 
donians, ami  representatives  of  a  few  other  European  races  of  recent 
immigration.  At  the  present  time  about  40  per  cent  of  the  employees 
are  Americans,  25  per  cent  Italians,  10  per  cent  Poles,  10  per  cent 
Slovaks,  10  per  cent  Macedonians,  3  per  cent  Germans,  and  2  per  cent 
Belgians.  The  changes  in  the  races  employed  at  the  glass  plant 
affected  the  population  of  the  town,  which  is  now  composed  chiefly  of 
Americans,  Slovaks,  Italians,  and  Poles.  The  only  signs  of  the  former 
Belgian  population  are  a  few  business  establishments  wliich  retired 
Belgian  glass  workers  have  established. 


COMMUNITY   C. 


Community  C  forms  a  link  in  the  chain  of  glass  communities  along 
the  Allegheny  River  and  comprises  one  township.  The  population  is 
composed  almost  entirely  of  the  employees  of  an  important  plate- 
glass  plant,  which  was  established  in  1884.  At  the  time  the  glass 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  71 

factory  was  placed  in  operation  the  population  of  the  community 
was  composed  chiefly  of  Belgians,  who  predominated,  Germans, 
English,  and  Americans.  Since  then  the  racial  composition  of  the 
community  has  followed  closely  that  of  the  plant.  Hand  methods 
have  been  employed  in  the  plant  from  the  beginning,  and,  with  the 
exception  of  the  introduction  of  electric  cranes  for  moving  glass,  no 
machinery  is  used.  During  the  early  days  of  the  plant  about  50 
per  cent  of  its  employees  were  skilled  Belgians,  25  per  cent  skilled 
Germans  from  Westphalia  and  Rhenish  Prussia,  where  the  Belgian 
glass-making  methods  are  used,  and  25  per  cent  English  and  Ameri- 
can, who  constituted  the  unskilled  labor  in  the  casting  rooms.  At 
present  the  proportions  of  races  employed  are:  Belgians,  5  per  cent; 
Germans,  5  per  cent;  Italians,  20  per  cent;  Americans,  10  per  cent; 
Slovaks,  30  per  cent;  Poles,  10  per  cent;  all  other  races,  10  per  cent. 

These  figures  show  an  almost  total  displacement  of  the  Belgians 
and  Germans  and  a  displacement  of  about  one-half  of  the  native 
workmen  by  the  Slovaks,  Poles,  and  Italians.  The  causes  assigned 
for  this  change  in  the  races  by  the  officials  of  the  plant  may  be 
grouped  as  follows: 

(a)  The  gradual  decrease  in  the  number  of  skilled  Belgians  and 
Germans  by  reason  of  death,  retirement,  return  to  Belgium  and 
Germany,  and  employment  in  other  glass  plants  located  farther^  wTest. 

(&)  The  entering  into  the  steel  works  and  other  industries  of 
native  and  English  employees  and  of  the  second  generation  of  Belgians 
and  Germans. 

(c)  The  influx  of  Slovak,  Polish,  and  Italian  workmen,  and  their 
influence  in  the  unskilled  labor  market  of  the  Pittsburg  district 
since  1898. 

The  first  of  the  recent  immigrants  were  employed  in  1898.  Slovaks 
were  employed  in  1898  and  the  Poles  in  1900,  but  not  until  about 
1907  were  the  Italians  employed  in  any  considerable  numbers.  The 
Slovaks  and  Poles  took  the  place  of  the  unskilled  natives  and  others 
as  they  were  either  advanced  into  the  skilled  occupations  in  the  glass 
factory  or  entered  new  fields  of  work.  As  the  Belgians  and  Germans 
gradually  left,  numbers  of  Slovaks  and  Poles  were  advanced  into  the 
skilled  occupation.  At  the  present  time  the  unskilled  labor  is  done 
by  the  Italians  and  Macedonians.  A  large  number  of  the  first  layers, 
first  grinders,  and  first  polishers — among  the  most  skilled  operatives 
in  the  plant — are  Slovaks  and  Poles.  The  Slovaks,  however,  are  the 
predominating  race  in  the  plant  at  the  present  time. 

The  Poles  and  Slovaks  are  not  regarded  as  the  equals  of  the  average 
Belgian  and  German  glass  workers,  or  that  of  the  natives,  but  the 
officials  of  the  factory  claim  that  they  are  the  best  workers  who  can 
be  secured  in  face  of  the  competition  which  exists  between  the  larger 
industries  for  native  labor  and  of  the  cessation  of  immigration  of 
skilled  glass  workers  from  Belgium  and  Germany.  Due  to  this 
situation,  the  vacancies  in  the  plant  have  been  filled  as  they  occurred 
with  Slovaks  and  Poles,  who,  however,  demanded  much  attention  to 
fit  them  for  the  work. 


72  The  Immigration  Commission. 


COM  MI' NIT  Y    D. 


The  chief  foreign  population  of  Community  I)  is  composed  of  Ital- 
ians, about  1,")  per  cent  of  whom  are  North  Italians,  with  a  total  popu- 
lation o!'  between  1,200  and  1,500.  There  are  about  100  Poles,  25 
Slovaks,  a  few  Russian  Hebrews,  and  a  small  number  of  first-generation 
Belgians  and  Germans,  together  with  a  few  of  the  second  generation 
of  the  latter. 

The  Belgians,  with  a  few  English,  were  the  fiist  immigrants  to 
enter  the  community.  They  were  induced  to  come  by  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  window-glass  factory  in  1888.  About  the  same  time 
a  number  of  German  miners  were  employed  in  the  coal  mines  in 
the  locality.  The  Belgians  composed  75  per  cent  of  the  employees 
of  the  window-glass  plant  when  it  was  placed  in  operation  and  con- 
stituted, with  the  exception  of  a  few  English,  all  of  the  skilled  workers. 
The  unskilled  workers  at  that  time  were  all  native  Americans.  Bel- 
gians continued  as  skilled  workers  and  in  about  the  same  proportion 
to  the  total  number  of  employees  in  the  plant  until  the  strike  of  1903 
and  the  introduction  of  machinery  in  1904. 

Following  the  introduction  of  machinery  in  1904  all  of  the  Bel- 
gians, except  those  who  owned  property,  left  to  seek  employment 
in  other  communities  where  the  work  was  done  by  hand.  Amer- 
icans were  placed  on  the  machines,  the  introduction  of  which  meant 
a  large  increase  in  the  number  of  unskilled  and  semiskilled  work- 
men. The  lower  occupations  were  filled  by  Italians  and  Poles  and 
Slovaks.  At  the  present  time  70  per  cent  of  the  window-glass 
workers  are  recent  immigrants  of  this  class,  chiefly  Italians. 

The  Italians  have  to  some  extent  entered  the  semiskilled  occupa- 
tions, earning  from  $20  to  $25  per  week.  A  few  Belgian  flatteneis 
and  cutters  are  still  employed,  since  this  work  is  still  done  by  hand, 
but  their  number  is  gradually  diminishing  because  of  the  cessation  of 
immigration  of  Belgian  glass  workers  and  the  removal  by  death  of 
those  now  employed.  Americans  are  gradually  taking  their  places. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  plant  of  a  bottle  manufacturing  company 
located  in  the  community  has  employed  a  large  proportion  of  Italians 
since  it  was  started  in  1898.  Of  the  total  employees  in  this  establish- 
ment, 300  in  all,  about  175  have  always  been  Italians,  of  whom  50  are 
from  northern  Italy.  In  addition  to  the  Italians  there  are  about  10 
Poles,  6  Belgians,  and  one  or  two  Slovaks.  All  of  this  class  of  labor 
receive  from  15  to  20  cents  per  hour  for  men  and  from  11  to  15  cents 
per  hour  for  boys,  the  work  being  largely  unskilled  and  carried  on  in 
ten-hour  periods  a  day.  Americans  do  all  the  skilled  work  in  the 
bottle  works,  receiving  from  $6  to  $9  per  day  on  piecework.  They 
constitute  about  one-third  of  the  total  number  of  employees.  There 
has  been  practically  no  change  hi  the  racial  composition  of  this  plant 
since  it  wras  started,  with  the  exception  of  the  small  number  of  Poles 
who  have  been  employed  within  the  past  live  years. 

These  two  glass  plants  employ  practically  all  of  the  immigrant  labor 
in  the  community,  and  the  changes  winch  have  been  made  by  them 
in  the  races  employed  furnish  the  history  of  immigration.

COMMUNITY   E. 


Community  E,  although  located  in  a  bituminous  coal  mining  dis- 
trict, supports  a  number  of  important  glass  factories,  which  consti- 
tute its  chief  industry.  In  1908  the  estimated  population  was  9,000, 
composed  of  the  following  races : 

Americans 3,  000 

Belgians  (including  French) 1,200 

Croatians 

Germans 50C 

Hebrews 

Italians l,2l 

Magyars 

Poles 50C 

Russians 

Slovaks 1,701 

All  other  races 

Total -  9,000 

The  first  glass  plant  was  erected  in  the  community  in  -  -,  which 
was  followed  by  several  other  establishments  in  the  course  of  a  few 
years.  To  provide  the  necessary  skilled  labor  to  operate  the  new 
plants,  large  numbers  of  Belgian,  English,  German,  and  French 
glass  workers,  who  had  learned  their  trades  in  Europe,  were  imported 
by  the  larger  companies.  The  unskilled  occupations  were  filled  by 
native  Americans  and  a  few  Germans.  As  most  of  the  work  de- 
manded trained  operatives,  under  the  hand  methods  employed  at 
that  time,  the  number  of  unskilled  employees  was  comparatively 
small.  In  the  course  of  a  year  or  two  the  Americans  were  slowly 
advanced  into  the  skilled  occupations  as  they  mastered  their  trades. 

Just  at  this  period,  however,  the  methods  of  manufacture  were 
revolutionized  in  the  glass  industry  by  the  introduction  of  machinery. 
Instead  of  the  demand  for  skilled  hand  workers  a  demand  was  created 
for  cheaper  laborers  possessed  of  sufficient  intelligence  to  operate 
the  machines.  The  labor  organizations  among  the  glass  workers  in 
Community  E  immediately  recognized  this  new  element  and  directed 
all  of  their  powers  to  prevent  the  installation  of  machinery  in  the 
plants.  Their  efforts  were  defeated  in  1898,  when  one  of  the  largest 
plate-glass  works  abolished  the  old  hand  methods .^  By  1904  each 
plant  in  the  community  was  fully  equipped  with  labor-saving 
machinery. 

With  the  defeat  of  the  unions  and  the  adoption  of  machine 
methods,  employment  of  the  recent  races  of  immigration  began. 
Slovaks,  Russians,  Poles,  and  Italians  were  employed  in  larger  num- 
bers by  the  plate-glass  plants  and  the  chimney  works.  The  industry 
hi  the  community  is  practically  conducted  as  an  "open  shop  "  at  pres- 
ent, but  the  labor  organizations  are  making  every  effort  possible  to 
unionize  the  several  plants,  in  the  hope  of  being  able  to  put  an  end 
to  the  employment  of  cheap  immigrant  labor,  which  has  recently 
entered  the  locality.

1890-1909 

COMMUNITY   F. 


Community  F  has  been  developed  industrially  since  the  year  1875. 
It  is  located  in  the  eastern  part  of  Missouri.  In  that  year  an  im- 
portant plate-glass  company  entered  the  community  and  erected  a 
glass  factory  which  now  gives  employment  to  about  600  persons. 
Native  Americans,  English,  Slovaks,  Roumanians,  and  Poles  compose 
the  labor  forces  of  the  plant,  as  well  as  the  population  of  the  town, 
which  was  estimated  at  1,600  individuals  in  1909.  This  glass  factory 
is  the  only  industrial  establishment  in  the  town,  and  the  history  of 
its  development  is  the  industrial  and  racial  history  of  the  community. 

The  factory  was  established  with  a  working  force  of  about  100 
skilled  English  glass  workers  and  an  equal  number  of  native  Ameri- 
cans employed  in  the  unskilled  occupations.  At  the  time  the  plant 
was  established  glass  making  was  a  new  enterprise  in  the  United 
States,  while  in  England,  France,  and  Belgium  it  was  numbered 
among  the  most  important  industries.  It  was  impossible,  therefore, 
to  secure  skilled  native  glass  workers,  and  in  turning  to  the  European 
labor  markets  for  the  supply  of  skilled  workmen  required  to  operate 
the  factory  the  officials  of  the  new  company  gave  the  preference  to 
the  English  glass  workers  in  that  they  spoke  a  common  language. 
The  English  glass  workers  who  were  imported  by  the  factory  at  this 
time  formed  the  first  immigrant  colony  in  the  town. 

From  the  year  of  establishment  until  1906  no  appreciable  increase 
was  made  in  the  number  of  employees  in  the  factory,  although 
machines  and  modern  methods  were  slowly  introduced.  In  the  latter 
part  of  the  year  1906  the  plant  was  enlarged,  and  a  demand  created 
ior  additional  labor  which  resulted  in  the  importation  of  a  group  of 
40  Roumanians,  which  people  had  been  successfully  employed  in  the 
glass  factories  in  the  Eastern  States.  The  institution  of  machinery 
had  made  necessary  the  employment  of  larger  numbers  of  unskilled 
workmen,  and  as  the  experiment  with  the  Roumanians  was  successful, 
a  number  of  Slovaks  and  Poles  were  imported  in  1909. 


Manufacturing  anci  Mining:  Summary  Report.  75 


The  colonies  which  these  races  formed  in  the  town  have  been 
enlarged  from  time  to  time  by  immigrants  seeking  employment. 
About  50  per  cent  of  the  total  population  of  the  town  at  the  present 
time  is  composed  of  recent  immigrants,  while  the  racial  composition 
of  the  glass  factory  is  about  50  per  cent  native  American,  25  per  cent 
English,  12  per  cent  Slovak,  8  per  cent  Roumanian,  and  5  per  cent 
Polish.  The  present  immigration  is  chiefly  made  up  of  Slovaks,  Rou- 
manians, and  Poles. 

OIL-REFINING  INDUSTRY. 

A  conception  of  the  part  which  members  of  races  of  recent  and 
past  immigration  have  had  in  the  development  of  the  oil-refining 
industry  and  the  extent  to  which  they  are  employed  at  the  present 
time  may  be  obtained,  however,  from  a  study  of  the  racial  movements 
to  and  racial  composition  of  communities  which  have  had  their  estab- 
lishment and  growth  in  connection  with  oil  refining.  For  this  reason 
the  history  of  immigration  to  two  representative  oil-refining  communi- 
ties is  set  forth  below:  ( 1)  To  Whiting,  Ind.,  which  is  a  city  of  the  Mid- 
dle West,  the  labor  and  capital  of  which  is  almost  exclusively  engaged 
in  oil  refining,  and  (2)  to  Bavonne,  N.  J.,  which  is  a  city  of  the  same 
description  in  the  East,  the  industries  of  which,  however,  are  some- 
what more  diversified  than  those  of  Whiting. 

The  city  of  Whiting  is  located  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Michigan,  in 
the  extreme  northwestern  corner  of  the  State  of  Indiana,  about  17 
miles  southeast  of  the  city  of  Chicago,  111.  It  was  first  settled  about 
the  year  1850  by  a  few  native  American  and  German  families,  who 
formed  a  small  village.  These  early  settlers  lived  on  the  produce  of 
the  sandy  ranges  of  the  district  and  by  fishing  and  hunting.  From 
year  to  year  the  population  of  this  settlement  was  increased  by 
German  immigrants  seeking  homes,  until  in  1890  the  number  of 
persons  in  the  village  wras  about  200. 

During  the  later  part  of  the  year  1889  a  petroleum-refining  com- 
pany entered  the  community  and  began  the  erection  of  an  extensive 
refinery.  In  order  to  build  the  plant  it  was  found  necessary  to  import 
large  numbers  of  workmen  from  other  parts  of  the  United  States,  the 
majority  of  whom  were  native  Americans  and  Irish  transferred  from 
other  establishments  of  the  company,  chiefly  from  a  refinery  in 
Cleveland,  Ohio.  When  the  plant  was  opened,  in  1890,  practically 
the  same  laborers  who  had  been  employed  to  erect  it  were  placed  in 
the  several  departments  to  carry  on  the  operations.  Following 
closely  upon  this  event  a  general  immigration  to  the  community 
began,  composed  chiefly  of  Poles,  Slovaks,  Croatians,  and  Magyars, 
who  came  seeking  employment.  From  year  to  year,  after  this  period, 
the  community  increased  in  population  until  the  year  1900,  when 
the  census  of  the  United  States  placed  the  population  at  3,983. 
In  1895  the  community  was  incorporated  under  a  town  charter,  and 
on  May  4,  1903,  was  granted  a  city  charter.  The  estimated  popula- 
tion in  1909  was  7,000  individuals,  65  per  cent,  or  4,550,  being 
composed  of  immigrant  aliens,  and  35  per  cent  made  up  of  native

Since  the  entrance  of  the  first  Austro-IIungarian  races  in  about 
1890  there  has  been  an  annual  immigration,  not  alone  of  the  Poles, 
Slovaks,  Croatians,  and  Magyars,  but  of  other  races,  including  Swedes, 
English,  Welsh,  North  Italians,  Bohemians,  Lithuanians,  Kuthenians, 
and  Hebrews.  The  Slovak  immigration  during  this  period  has  been 
the  heaviest,  and  at  present  the  number  of  Slovaks  in  Whiting, 
next  to  the  Americans,  is  greater  than  that  of  any  other  one  race.  It 
is  stated  by  old  residents  of  the  city  that  many  of  the  immigrants 
who  entered  the  community  shortly  after  the  opening  of  the  refinery 
are  still  living  in  the  locality.  Industrially,  Whiting  is  at  the  present 
time  essentially  an  oil-refining  community.  The  petroleum  refinery 
is  the  only  industrial  establishment  located  in  the  city,  and  among 
the  employees  will  be  found  represented  nearly  all  races  living  in  the 
community. 

The  territory  upon  which  Bayonne  now  stands  was  settled  by  the 
Holland  Dutch  during  the  period  of  from  1646  to  1664.  The  present 
city  of  Bayonne  was  first  incorporated  in  1869,  at  which  time  the 
population  was  composed  of  the  descendants  of  the  early  settlers, 
together  with  quite  a  number  of  Irish  who  came  in  about  four  years 
previous.  The  Germans  settled  in  the  locality  shortly  after  the  Irish, 
and  for  some  time  the  representatives  of  these  races  largely  predom- 
inated as  laborers.  About  the  same  time  the  English,  Scotch,  and 
Welsh  came  to  Bayonne,  although  a  few  English  were  among  the 
early  settlers.  The  combined  numbers  of  these  races,  however,  have 
never  constituted  a  large  proportion  of  the  population.  A  small 
number  of  Swedes  came  to  the  locality  prior  to  1SSO,  but  the  period 
of  their  greatest  influx  was  from  18SO  to  1882.  From  1880  to  1885 
large  numbers  of  Slovaks,  Iluthenians,  and  Poles,  in  the  order  named, 
and  in  1887  many  Magyars,  settled  in  Bayonne.  These,  the  first  of 
the  more  recent  immigrants  to  come  to  this  locality,  were  almost 
exclusively  employed  in  an  oil  refinery.  The  Russian  Jews  and 
Italians  settled  in  considerable  numbers  from  1N9(>  to  1900,  although 
the  largest  proportion  of  each  has  come  in  within  the  last  six  or  seven

years.  A  number  of  other  races  are  also  represented,  but  those  pre- 
viously mentioned  are  considered  to  have  been  the  most  important 
factor  in  building  up  the  larger  industries  of  the  locality. 

SILK  GOODS  MANUFACTURING  INDUSTRY. 

The  racial  movements  to  the  silk  goods  manufacturing  and  the  silk 
goods  dyeing  industry  may  be  best  illustrated  by  the  history  of  immi- 
gration to  Paterson,  N.  J.,  the  principal  silk  goods  manufacturing 
center  in  the  United  States. 

The  silk  industry  was  established  in  Paterson  by  English  immi- 
grants in  1854,  but  not  until  1870  did  they  come  to  this  locality  in 
large  numbers.  A  few  Scotch  and  Irish  immigrants  were  included  in 
this  early  movement.  English  immigration  continued  more  or  less 
steadily  up  to  1890,  wThen  the  Italians  first  entered  the  industry. 
During  the  late  seventies  experienced  French  operatives  were  per- 
suaded to  leave  their  native  land  and  come  to  the  silk  mills  of  Pater- 
son. A  few  left  the  mills  in  Paterson  and  returned  to  France  in  1888 
and  1890,  and  practically  all  of  them  returned  to  their  native  country 
in  the  early  nineties  because  of  the  closing  of  a  number  of  the  mills  on 
account  of  the  industrial  depression  that  occureed  during  that  period. 
As  previously  stated,  the  Italians  obtained  their  first  employment  in 
the  silk  mills  during  that  period  from  1888  to  1890,  when  several 
strikes  occurred  among  the  dye  workers,  although  quite  a  number  of 
them  had  settled  in  Paterson  and  had  been  employed  in  other  occu- 
pations five  or  six  years  previously.  The  large  increase,  however, 
in  the  percentage  of  Italian  workmen  dates  from  1896-97.  Although 
the  Poles  first  entered  the  community  in  1898,  several  years  prior  to 
the  Russian  Hebrews,  they  were  not  employed  in  the  silk  mills  until 
later.  Only  a  very  small  number  of  the  Armenians  who  came  to 
Paterson  in  1901  and  who  were  employed  in  the  silk  mills  remain, 
preferring,  it  seems,  to  obtain  employment  in  localities  with  a  larger 
population  of  their  own  race.  Only  very  small  numbers  of  German 
and  Swiss  immigrants  have  ever  been  employed  in  the  silk  mills  of 
Paterson,  and  these  came  in  the  days  of  the  early  expansion  of  the 
industry. 

LEATHER  TANNING,  CURRYING,  AND  FINISHING  INDUSTRY. 

The  racial  movements  to  and  substitutions  in  the  leather  manu- 
facturing industry  are  represented  by  the  history  of  immigration 
to  the  principal  divisions  of  the  industry:  (1)  To  the  leather  tan- 
ning and  finishing  establishments  of  Wilmington,  Del.;  (2)  to  the 
glazed-kid  branch  of  the  industry  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.;  and  (3)  to  the 
tanneries  of  western  Pennsylvania  and  Milwaukee,  Wis. 

At  the  time  the  leather  tanning  and  finishing  industry  in  Wilming- 
ton, Del.,  was  established  forty  or  more  years  ago,  the  immigrants 
chiefly  employed  wTere  the  Germans,  Scandinavians,  and  Irish.  The 
employment  of  these  immigrants  decreased  after  the  introduction  of 
machinery  in  the  industry  about  fifteen  3'ears  ago,  and  has  now 

gractically  ceased.     Among  the  more  recent  immigrants  only  the 
oles  and  Italians  appear  to  have  become  a  factor  in  the  operation  of 
the  various  plants.     Although  both  Poles  and  Italians  obtained  em-

ployment  in  the  leather  factories  about  twenty  years  ago,  the  majority 
<•!'  employers  of  these  races  were  employed  a  fe\v  years  later,  when 
there,  was  an  increased  demand  for  unskilled  labor. 

I'n til  twelve  or  fifteen  years  ago  the  employees  in  the  glazed-kid 
industry  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  were  practically  all  Americans,  Irish, 
mid  Germans.  As  a  result  of  a  new  process  adopted  at  about  that 
time  less  skilled  labor  war  required,  and  it  was  then  that  the  more 
recent  immigrants  to  the  United  States  were  employed.  The  first  of 
the  more  recent  immigrants  to  be  employed  were  the  Poles,  but  they 
were  so  quickly  followed  by  the  Slovaks,  Magyars,  South  Italians, 
Armenians,  and  Greeks  that  there  was  practically  no  difference  in  the 
time  of  employment.  The  Irish  and  native  Americans  still  constitute 
11  l)oi it  ">()  per  cent  of  all  employees,  while  among  the  more  recent 
immigrants  the  Poles  predominate. 

In  the  early  days  of  the  tanning  industry  in  western  Pennsylvania 
the  Irish,  Germans,  and  Swedes  were  the  principal  employees.  Occa- 
sionally a  few  Danes  and  Swiss  were  employed,  but  these  peoples,  like 
the  Irish  and  Germans,  \vere  soon  largely  supplanted  by  the  Swedes, 
who  in  turn  are  being  supplanted  by  the  more  recent  immigrants  to 
the  United  States,  such  as  the  Slovaks,  Poles,  and  Italians.  The 
Slovaks  obtained  their  first  employment  in  this  section  of  the  State  in 
1885,  and  were  followed  by  the  Poles  in  1890,  while  the  Italians,  who 
have  become  an  important  factor  in  the  operation  of  some  of  the 
tanneries,  were  not  employed  in  any  appreciable  number  until  1901. 
A  few  Belgians,  French,  and  Macedonians  have  been  employed  since 
1902,  but  not  in  sufficient  numbers  in  any  one  tannery  to  have 
become  a  factor  in  the  operation  of  same. 

The  Germans,  Irish,  Americans,  a  few  English  and  Scotch  were  the 
first  employees  in  the  tanning  industry  in  Milwaukee,  Wis.,  with  the 
( iermans  largely  predominating.  In  all,  about  18  different  races  are 
represented  in  this  industry  at  the  present  time.  The  foreign-born 
races  now  a  factor  in  the  operation  or  the  tanneries  in  this  locality  are 
the  Germans,  Poles,  Greeks,  Slovaks,  Croatians,  Lithuanians,  Magyars 
and  Russians.  The  Poles  were  the  first  of  the  more  recent  immigrants 
to  secure  employment  in  this  industry.  Their  employment  to  any 
extent  first  occurred  in  1870.  In  1877-78  they  were  strongly  repre- 
sented and  have  continued  so  until  now,  although  there  has  been  quite 
a  falling  off  at  various  times.  The  Russian  Poles  entered  the  industry 
in  1885,  Italians  in  1890,  Croatians,  Magyars,  and  Slovaks  in  1892, 
and  Lithuanians  and  Greeks  in  large  numbers  in  1903,  although  a 
few  of  the  latter  were  employed  in  1898-99.  Representatives  of  the 
Swiss,  Swedish,  Danish,  Bohemian,  Finnish,  Dutch,  arid  Bulgarian 
races  have  been  employed  from  time  to  time,  but  in  such  small  num- 
bers that  their  employment  has  attracted  little  or  no  attention.

The  Immigration  Commission. 


An  examination  of  the  totals  of  the  preceding  tables  reveals  the 
fact  that,  in  recent  years  there  has  been  a  decline  in  immigration  from 
Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  to  the  mines  ;md  manufacturing 
establishments  of  the  country,  and  that  the  incoming  labor  supply 
has  been  principally  composed  of  menilxTs  of  races  from  southern 
and  eastern  Europe.  Slightly  more  than  three-fifths,  or  63.1  per 
cent,  of  the  total  number  of  industrial  workers  for  whom  information 
was  received  had  been  in  the  United  States  less  than  ten  years,  and 
exactly  two-fifths  had  been  in  this  country  le-s  than  five  years.  The 
heavy  influx  of  wage-earners  during  the  past  decade  was  made  up  of 
the  representatives  of  Armenian,  Bulgarian,  Croatian,  Finnish,  Flem- 
ish, French,  Greek,  Russian  and  Other  Hebrew,  Hcrzegovinian, 
North  and  South  Italian,  Lithuanian,  Macedonian,  Magyar,  Monte- 
negrin, Polish,  Portuguese,  Roumanian,  Russian,  Ruthenian,  Servian, 
Slovak,  Slovenian,  Spanish,  Syrian,  and  Turkish  races.  More  than 
one-third  of  the  French  Canadian  and  Dutch,  more  than  two-fifths 
of  the  Danish,  English,  Norwegian,  and  Swedish,  and  more  than  one- 
half  of  the  German,  Irish,  Scotch,  and  Welsh  industrial  workers  have 
a  residence  in  the  United  States  of  twenty  years  or  longer.  There 
is  but  little  difference  in  the  proportions  of  males  and  females  in  the 
specified  periods  of  residence. 

In  the  following  table  the  per  cent  of  foreign-born  persons  in  the 
households  studied  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  each  specified 
number  of  years  is  set  forth  according  to  sex  and  race  of  individual: 

TABLE  12. — Per  cent  of  foreign-born  persons  in  the  United  States  each  specified  number 

of  years,  by  sex  and  race. 

(STUDY  OF  HOUSEHOLDS.) 

[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.]

88  The  Immigration  Commission. 

All   examination    »f    till-    t.ihle   discloses    the   fart    tll;:1    of   the   L' 1  ,<i'.ll'> 

foreign-born  males  concerning  \\hoin  informatioD  \\as  obtained  only 
3.2  per  cent  were  without  occupation  liel'i>re  coming  to  the  United 
St. iles.  On  the  other  hand,  51.1  per  cent,  \\orked  for  \\ages,  29.5  per 
cent  \\ithout  wages,  and  16.2  per  cent  worked  for  profit.  For  the 
reason  that  only  the  Syrians,  Armenians,  Japanese,  and  (ireel-s,  with 
proportions  ranging  from  18. 8  to  10.  I  per  cent,  show  proportions 
\\  illiont  ocei i nation  abroad  in  excess  of  10  per  cent,  the  discussion  of 
the  industrial  condition  of  these  males  before  coming  to  the  United 
Slates  will  be  confined  to  those  working  for  and  \\ithmit  wages  and 
for  profit.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  under  these  several  heads  a 
marked  contrast  exists  as  between  many  of  the  races,  the  most 
important  of  these  races  in  point  of  number  will  be  separated  into  two 
•_  rou ps,  the  first  to  include  the  older  and  the  second  to  include  the 
more  recent  immigrants  to  the  United  States. 

Among  the  older  immigrants  it  will  be  noted  that,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  French,  none  of  whom  worked  without  wages,  and  the 
Scotch,  none  of  whom  worked  for  profit,  each  race  shows  a  certain 
proportion  employed  in  one  way  or  another  before  coming  to  this 
country.  Of  those  who  worked  for  wages  the  Scotch  show  the  largest 
proportion,  or  98.1  per  cent,  and  the  Irish  the  smallest  proportion,  or 
44.9  per  cent.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Irish  show  the  largest  propor- 
tion, or  38  per  cent,  and  the  Scotch  the  smallest  proportion,  or  0.9  per 
cent,  who  worked  without  wages.  Concerning  those  who  worked  for 
profit,  the  contrast  is  by  no  means  so  marked,  the  largest  proportion, 
or  14.3  per  cent,  being  shown  by  the  French  Canadians,  and  the 
smallest,  or  1.4  per  cent,  by  the  Welsh.  Over  nine-tenths  of  the 
French,  English,  Flemish,  and  Welsh,  and  very  nearly  this  proportion 
of  the  Dutch,  and  over  seven-tenths  of  the  Germans,  six-tenths  of 
the  Swedes,  and  over  one-half,  or  52.7  per  cent,  of  the  French  Cana- 
dians, were  employed  for  wrages  before  coming  to  the  United  States. 
Aside  from  the  Irish,  the  next  largest  proportions,  25  and  24.3  per 
cent,  who  worked  without  wages  abroad,  are  shown  by  the  French 
Canadians  and  Swedes,  respectively. 

Considering  the  more  important  races  of  recent  immigration,  or 
those  represented  by  not  less  than  50  persons  in  the  above  table,  it 
will  be  noted  that  the  Hebrew  alone  shows  a  proportion  in  excess 
of  fit)  per  cent  who  worked  for  wages  abroad,  while  the  smallest  pro- 

Sortion,  or  5.2  per  cent,  thus  employed  is  shown  by  the  Turkish  race. 
lightly  less  than  six-tenths  of  the  South  Italians,  North  Italians, 
and  Magyars,  slightly  over  one-half  of  the  Portuguese  and  Slovaks, 
exactly  one-half  of  the  Syrians,  and  slightly  below  one-half,  or  47.8 
per  cent,  of  the  Poles  were  employed  for  wage>  abroad.  With  the 
exception  of  these  races  just  mentioned,  each  race  of  more  recent 
immigration  considered  in  this  discussion  shous  a  smaller  proportion 
employed  for  wages  than  do  the  Irish,  who,  as  previously  stated,  show 
the  smallest  proportion  among  the  older  immigrants,  the  propor- 
tion-, in  many  instances  being  considerably  below  that  of  the  Irish. 
Xo  Macedonians  and  only  5.1  per  cent  of  the  Hebrews,  as  compared 
with  90.7  per  cent  of  the  Turks,  worked  without  wages  before  coming 
to  t  his  country,  while  the  proport  ions  of  Armenian-;.  Bulgarians,  South 
Italians,  and  Syrians  so  employed,  as  compared  \\ith  the  proportion 
oi  other  more  recent  immigrants,  are  comparatively  small.  On  the 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.

other  hand,  it  will  be  noted  that,  as  compared  with  the  older  immi- 
grants, with  a  few  exceptions,  the  proportions  of  the  more  recent 
immigrants  who  worked  without  wages  are  comparatively  large.  This 
is  equally  true  as  between  the  older  and  more  recent  immigrants  who 
worked  for  profit,  the  proportions  of  the  more  recent  immigrants 
working  for  profit  ranging  from  53.8  per  cent  of  the  Macedonians  to 
3.6  per  cent  of  the  Turks. 

Considering  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians  and  Finns,  who  are  not 
included  in  either  the  older  or  more  recent  immigrant  group,  it  will  be 
noted  that  the  proportions  of  the  former  follow  more  closely  those  of 
the  older  immigrants  than  do  the  latter. 

The  following  table  shows,  by  race  of  individual,  the  occupation 
before  coming  to  the  United  States  of  foreign-born  males  in  the  house- 
holds, studied  who  were  16  years  of  age  or  over  at  time  of  coming:

90  The  Immigration  Commission. 

The  foregoing  table  sliows  that  the  proportion  of  foreign-born  males 
who  were  working  for  wages  and  who  were  employed  ;is  farmers 
before  coming  to  the  United  States  is  slightly  below  and  the  propor- 
tion employed  as  general  laborers  very  nuidi  below  the  proportion 
employed  in  all  other  occupations.  As  regards  llm>e  workin<_r  wit  liout 
\\ages  less  than  1  per  cent  were  employed  in  all  occupations  other 
than  as  farm  laborers,  while  of  those  working  for  profit  18.1  per  cent 
of  the  21,090  foreign-born  males  concerning  whom  information  was 
obtained  were  farmers,  as  against  3  per  cent  who  were  engaged  in  all 
other  occupations.  That  the  tendencies  of  the  various  races  may  be 
more  readily  noted,  it  is  considered  best  to  classify  them  into  two 
groups.  In  the  first  will  be  found  those  races  of  older  and  in  the 
second  those  of  more  recent  immigration.  If  an  average  be  made 
for  each  occupation  in  each  of  these  groups  it  will  be  noted  that  the 
proportion  of  both  who  were  employed  as  farm  laborers  and  those 
who  w'ere  employed  as  general  laborers  arc  very  nearly  the  same, 
while  the  older  immigrants  show  a  very  much  larger  proportion  than 
the  recent  immigrants  who  were  employed  in  all  other  occupations 
for  wages  before  coming  to  the  United  States.  A  comparison  of  the 
averages  of  the  two  groups  who  were  employed  as  farm  laborers  and 
in  all  other  occupations  without  wages  shows  that  the  proportion  of 
each  group  who  were  employed  in  all  other  occupations  is  very  nearly 
the  same,  but  that  the  proportion  of  the  older  immigrants  who  were 
employed  as  farm  laborers  is  much  smaller  than  the  proportion  of  the 
more  recent  immigrants.  As  regards  those  who  worked  for  profit, 
the  more  recent  immigrants  again  show  a  larger  proportion  than  the 
older  immigrants  engaged  in  farming,  although  the  difference  is 
slightly  less  marked  in  this  instance  than  among  those  who  were 
employed  without  wages,  while  only  a  very  small  difference  is  noted 
in  the  proportions  of  the  older  and  more  recent  immigrants  who  were 
employed  in  all  other  occupations  for  profit.  It  is  a  significant  fact, 
gleaned  from  the  averages  for  these  twro  groups,  that  almost  two- 
thirds  of  the  more  recent  immigrants  gained  a  livelihood  from  the 
farms,  while  about  the  same  proportion  of  the  older  immigrants  were 
in  occupations  other  than  farming  or  as  farm  laborers  before  coming 
to  the  United  States. 

The  conclusion  to  be  drawn  from  this  comparison  is  that  only  a  very 
small  proportion  of  the  more  recent  immigrants,  as  compared  with 
the  proportion  of  the  older  immigrants,  had  any  industrial  training 
before  coming  to  the  United  States.  Consequently,  very  few  of  the 
large  numbers  of  immigrants  that  are  coming  to  this  country  at  pres- 
ent have  had  any  previous  knowledge  of  or  experience  in  the  particular 
industries  or  occupations  in  which  they  are  now  employed.  There  are, 
however,  several  notable  exceptions  to  this,  as  will  be  noted  from  a 
comparison  of  the  proportions  of  the  various  races  who  were  employed 
for  wages  in  occupations  other  than  farming  or  as  farm  laborers. 
The  principal  exceptions  are  the  Cubans  and  Spaniards,  who,  among 
those  who  worked  for  wages,  show  90.2  and  69.6  per  cent,  respec- 
tively. Both  the  Cubans  and  Spaniards,  who  are  almost  exclusively 
employed  in  the  manufacturing  of  cigars  and  tobacco  in  this  country, 
are  undoubtedly  following  the  same  occupation  that  was  followed  m 
their  native  countries.  Among  the  older  immigrants  the.  Irish, 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  91 

Dutch,  French  Canadians,  and  Swedes  each  shows  a  larger  proportion 
who  gained  a  livelihood  in  some  manner  from  farms  than  from  all 
other  occupations,  while  the  reverse  is  true  of  the  other  races  of  older 
immigration.  By  way  of  illustration,  the  Scotch  show  97.2,  French 
92.9,  Welch  87.5,  and  English  86.4  per  cent  who  were  employed  for 
wages  in  occupations  other  than  as  farm  or  general  laborers,  the  pro- 
portions of  the  other  races  of  older  immigration  ranging  from  64.7 
per  cent  of  the  Flemish  to  53.3  per  cent  of  the  Mexicans.  On  the 
other  hand,  with  the  exception  of  the  Cubans  and  Spaniards,  the 
proportions  of  the  more  recent  immigrant  races  who  were  employed 
for  wages  in  occupations  other  than  as  farm  or  general  laborers  range 
frym  66.5  per  cent  of  the  Hebrews  to  0.5  per  cent  of  the  Turkish. 
Among  the  more  recent  immigrants  the  extremely  large  proportion, 
or  90.7  per  cent,  of  the  Turkish  race  who  were  employed  as  farm 
laborers  without  wages  is  in  striking  contrast  with  the  proportions 
shown  by  the  other  races,  while  among  the  older  immigrants  so 
employed  the  Irish,  French  Canadians,  Swedes,  and  Norwegians  show 
proportions  ranging  from  36.7  to  21.7  per  cent,  as  compared  with 
proportions  of  the  Germans,  Dutch,  Flemish,  Mexicans,  English,  and 
Welsh  ranging  from  11.3  to  1.4  per  cent.  No  French  or  Scotch 
among  the  older  immigrants  and  no  Cubans  or  Macedonians  among 
the  more  recent  immigrants  were  employed  as  farm  laborers  without 
wages.  Among  the  more  recent  immigrants  over  four-tenths  of  the 
Bulgarians  and  Macedonians,  slightly  less  than  four-tenths  of  the 
Portuguese,  and  slightly  less  than  three-tenths  of  the  Japanese,  as 
compared  with  proportions  ranging  from  24.3  per  cent  of  the  Croa- 
tians  to  0.9  per  cent  of  the  Hebrews,  were  farmers  for  profit  before 
coming  to  the  United  States.  Among  the  older  immigrants,  on  the 
other  hand,  the  French  Canadians  show  the  largest  proportion  of 
farmers  for  profit,  or  11.7  per  cent,  the  proportions  of  the  others 
ranging  from  6.6  per  cent  of  the  Irish  to  1.2  per  cent  of  the  Flemish. 
No  Bravas  or  Cubans  among  the  more  recent  immigrants  and  no 
English,  Norwegians,  or  Scotch  among  the  older  immigrants  were 
farmers  for  profit  before  coming  to  this  country.  With  the  exception 
of  the  Armenian,  Hebrew,  and  Macedonian,  with  proportions  ranging 
from  21.5  to  12.1  per  cent,  no  race  shows  a  proportion  equal  to  8 
per  cent  who  were  engaged  in  occupations  other  than  as  farmers  for 
profit  before  coming  to  the  United  States. 

Considering  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians  and  Finns,  who  were  not 
included  in  either  the  older  or  more  recent  immigrant  group,  it  will 
be  noted  that,  as  regards  those  who  worked  for  wages,  the  latter  show 
considerably  larger  proportions  who  were  employed  as  farm  or  gen- 
eral laborers,  but  a  very  much  smaller  proportion  employed  in  all 
other  occupations,  than  the  former.  In  other  words,  only  a  very 
small  proportion  of  the  Finns,  or  15.7  per  cent,  as  compared  with  57.3 
per  cent  of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians  who  were  employed  for 
wages,  had  any  industrial  training  before  coming  to  the  United  States. 
No  Finns  were  employed  in  occupations  other  than  as  farm  laborers 
without  wages,  and  only  0.8  per  cent  were  engaged  in  occupations 
other  than  as  farmers  for  profit,  as  compared  with  3.3  and  4.8  per  cent, 
respectively,  of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians.

This  table  shows  that  very  nearly  60  per  cent  of  the  13,315  foreign- 
born  females  concerning  whom  information  was  obtained  were  with- 
out occupation  and  only  1  per  cent  worked  for  profit,  while  22.5  and 
Hi. 9  per  cent  were  employed  for  wages  and  without  wages,  respec- 
tively, before  coming  to  the  United  States. 

Considering  only  those  races  represented  by  50  or  more  females  and 
separating  them  into  two  groups,  the  first  to  include  the  older,  and 
the  second  the  more  recent,  immigrants,  it  will  be  noted  that  the 
former  show  a  slightly  higher  average  without  occupation,  a  consider- 
ably higher  average  who  worked  for  wages,  and  a  much  lower  average 
employed  without  wages  before  coming  to  the  I'uited  States  than  do 
the  latter.  Among  the  older  immigrants  without  occupation  before 
coining  to  the  United  States  the  range  is  from  90.2  per  cent  of  the 
Welsh  to  49.3  per  cent  of  the  Dutch,  while  among  the  more  recent 
immigrants  the  proportions  range  from  90.4  per  cent  of  the  Syrians  to

19.4  per  cent  of  the  Ruthenians.  On  the  other  hand,  of  those  working 
for  and  without  wages  the  proportions  of  the  older  immigrants  range 
from  47.9  per  cent  of  the  Dutch  to  9.8  per  cent  of  the  Welsh  and  from 
8.1  per  cent  of  the  Germans  to  0.3  per  cent  of  the  English,  respectively, 
the  French,  Scotch,  and  Welsh  reporting  no  proportion  working  with- 
out wages.  While  of  the  more  recent  immigrants  the  proportions 
working  for  wages  range  from  31.6  per  cent  of  the  North  Italians  to 
6.5  per  cent  of  the  Greeks  and  the  proportions  working  without  wages 
before  coming  to  the  United  States  range  from  50.9  per  cent  of  the 
Ruthenians  to  1.5  per  cent  of  the  Armenians,  the  Syrians  report 
no  proportion  who  worked  without  wages.  As  between  the  Bohe- 
mians and  Moravians  and  Finns,  who  are  not  included  in  either  of  the 
groups  above  mentioned,  it  will  be  noted  that  the  former  show  con- 
siderably larger  proportions  working  for  and  without  wages  and  a 
much  smaller  proportion  without  occupation  than  do  the  latter.  No 
race  shows  a  proportion  who  worked  for  profit  in  excess  of  2.7  per  cent. 
The  following  table  shows,  by  race  of  individual,  the  occupation 
before  coming  to  the  United  States  of  foreign-born  females  who  were 
16  years  of  age  or  over  at  time  of  coming  to  this  country:

94  The  Immigration  Commission. 

Hie  foregoing  table  show>  tli.-ii  of  the  13,315  foreign-born  females 
concerning  whom  information  was  obtained,  .r)'.).7  per  cent  were 
without  occupation,  22. 5  per  cent  \\ere  \\orking  for  wages,  H'>.(.)  per 
cent  without  wages,  and  only  1  per  cent  for  profit,  before  coming  to 
the  United  States.  Concerning  the  occupations  of  these  females 
abroad,  it  will  be  noted  that  the  proportion  \slio  were  working  for 
wages  is  almost  equally  distributed  among  farm  laborers,  domestic 
service,  and  all  other  occupations,  and  that  the  proportion  who 
worked  for  profit  is  almost  equally  distributed  as  between  farmers 
and  all  other  occupations.  On  the  other  hand,  those  working  with- 
out wages  show  less  than  1  per  cent  employed  in  all  occupations 
other  than  as  farm  laborers,  the  proportion  in  the  last-mentioned 
occupation  amounting  to  16.4  per  cent. 

If  the  older,  and  more  recent,  immigrants  be  arranged  in  separate 
groups,  and  an  average  made  for  each  occupation,  it  will  be  found 
that,  with  the  exception  of  slightly  larger  averages  for  the  older  than 
for  the  more  recent  immigrants  in  domestic  service  and  in  all  other 
occupations  for  wages,  and  a  much  smaller  average  for  the  older 
than  for  the  more  recent  immigrants  employed  as  farm  laborers 
without  wages,  the  averages  for  the  older  and  more  recent  immigrants 
in  each  specified  occupation  aATerage  very  nearly  the  same. 

No  Armenians,  Cubans,  Hebrews,  Spaniards,  or  Syrians,  and  but 
0.6  per  cent  of  the^  Greeks  and  0.8  per  cent  of  the  Portuguese,  as 
compared  with  21 .7  per  cent  of  the  Bravas,  21  per  cent  of  the  Ruthen- 
ians,  14.4  per  cent  of  the  Slovaks,  and  12.8  per  cent  of  the  Lithuan- 
ians, among  the  more  recent  immigrants,  were  employed  as  farm 
laborers  for  wages  before  coming  to  the  United  States.  Among  the 
older  immigrants,  on  the  other  hand,  no  English,  French,  Scotch, 
or  Welsh,  and,  as  compared  with  22.5  per  cent  of  the  Dutch  and  20.9 
per  cent  of  the  Flemish,  only  very  small  proportions  of  the  other 
races,  were  employed  as  farm  laborers  abroad.  With  the  exception 
of  the  Bravas  and  Slovaks,  30.4  and  12.5  per  cent  of  whom,  respec- 
tively, were  in  domestic  service,  the  proportion  of  no  other  race 
among  the  more  recent  immigrants  equals  10  per  cent;  and  with  the 
exception  of  the  North  Italians,  IIebrew>,  Armenians,  and  Cubans 
with  proportions  ranging  from  20.6  to  11.1  per  cent,  the  proportion 
of  no  other  race  among  the  more  recent  immigrants  equals  7  per  cent. 
Among  the  older  immigrants,  the  Swedes  show  the  largest  proportion, 
or  26.1  per  cent,  in  domestic  service,  closely  followed  by  the  Norwe- 
gians and  Dutch,  who,  in  turn,  are  closely  followed  by  the  Germans 
with  14.9  per  cent,  the  proportions  of  the  other  races  ranging  from 
9.7  per  cent  of  the  Irish  to  3.1  per  cent  of  the  French.  In  all  other 
occupations  for  wages  among  the  older  immigrants,  the  English  with 
32.3  per  cent  show  a  slightly  larger  proportion  than  the  French,  a 
considerably  larger  proportion  than  the  Scotch,  and  a  much  larger 
proportion  than  is  shown  by  any  other  race  in  this  group. 

With  the  exception  of  12.5  per  cent  of  the  Norwegians  and  9.1  per 
cent  of  the  Swedes  who  were  employed  as  farm  laborers  without 
\\  ages,  only  very  small  proportions  of  the  older  immigrant  races  are 
found  in  the  other  specified  occupations;  and  only  very  small  pro- 
portions of  the  more  recent  immigrant  races  were  employed  before 
coming  to  the  United  States  in  occupations  other  than  as  farm 
laborers  without  wages,  or  in  any  occupation  for  profit.  The  more 
recent  immigrants,  however,  who  \\ere  employed  as  farm  laborers 
without  wages,  show  in  the  case  of  the  Rutlieniaiis  over  50  per  cent, 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report. 


95 


in  the  case  of  the  Roumanians,  Slovenians,  and  Russians  over  40 
per  cent,  and  in  the  case  of  the  Lithuanians,  Poles,  Croatians,  and 
Greeks  over  30,  26,  25,  and  20  per  cent,  respectively.  The  Slovaks 
also  show  a  proportion  slightly  in  excess  of  20  per  cent,  while  the  pro- 
portions of  the  other  more  recent  immigrants  so  employed  range  from 
15.4  percent  of  the  Servians  to  1.3  per  cent  of  the  Hebrews. 

The  Bohemians  and  Moravians  and  Finns  are  not  included  in 
either  the  older  or  more  recent  immigrant  group,  but  wherever  a  pro- 
portion in  any  occupation  is  shown,  that  of  the  former  exceeds  that 
of  the  latter,  the  difference  being  much  more  marked  among  those 
who  were  farm  laborers  without  wages.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  97 


Upon  referrin?  to  the  totals  in  the  foregoing  table  it  is  at  once  seen 
that  only  l?-3  Per  Fent  °^  the  male  industrial  workers  had  any  train- 
in°-  or  exper*ence  m  manufacturing  before  coming  to  this  country. 
This  showing  ls  even  more  unfavorable  as  regards  the  races  of  recent 
immio-ratiorf  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe,  when  it  is  noted 
that  49.8  per  cen^  °^  the  English,  28.1  per  cent  of  the  German,  49.9 
per  cent  of  fne  French,  36.4  per  cent  of  the  Scotch,  and  58.2  per  cent 
of  the  Wel:3n  were  engaged  in  manufacturing  abroad.  The  large 
proportion  °^  Cubans  and  Spaniards  who  were  in  manufacturing 
before  comin§  ^°  this  country  arises  from  the  fact  that  they  were 
trained  cio-ar  niakers.  Only  2.7  per  cent  of  the  Croatians,  9.5  per 
cent  of  the  North  Italians,  13.3  per  cent  of  the  South  Italians,  5.5 
per  cent  of  the  Lithuanians,  7  per  cent  of  the  Magyars,  7.6  per 
cent  of  the  Poles,  8.3  per  cent  of  the  Russians,  4.5  per  cent  of  the 
Slovaks  and  5.7  per  cent  of  the  Slovenians  had  any  experience  in 
manufactures  establishments  before  their  arrival  in  the  United 
States  The  greater  number  of  wage-earners  of  foreign  birth  now  i 
employed  ia  the  mines  and  manufacturing  establishments  of  this  / 
country  were  farmers  or  farm  laborers  abroad.  This  condition  of  ' 
affairs  is  mc)re  niarked  in  the  case  of  the  southern  and  eastern  Euro- 
peans 80  5  Per  cent  of  the  Croatians,  54  per  cent  of  the  Greeks,  50.5 
per  cent  of  *ne  North  Italians,  46.8  per  cent  of  the  South  Italians, 
76.2  per  cei1^  °f  the  Lithuanians,  55.7  per  cent  of  the  Magyars,  68.1 
per  cent  of  the  Poles,  70.2  per  cent  of  the  Portuguese,  68.3  per  cent 
of  the  Rusi?ians>  72.6  per  cent  of  the  Slovaks,  and  65.2  per  cent  of 
the  Slovenians  were  engaged  in  agricultural  pursuits  in  their  native 
countries  The  onty  exception  to  the  general  tendency  exhibited  by 
the  souther11  and  eastern  European  immigrants  is  found  in  the  case 
of  the  Hebrews>  both  Russian  and  other,  61.7  per  cent  of  the  former 
and  55  3  per  cent  of  the  latter  having  been  employed  in  manufactur- 
ino-  before  poming  to  this  country.  Only  a  very  small  proportion, 
amountino-  to  2.5  per  cent,  of  the  total  foreign-born  wage-earners 
were  in  tra^e  or  business  while  abroad.  The  large  proportion  of  the 
races  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  shown  as  being  in 
ntVi^r  ( probations  than  those  specified  before  coming  to  the  United 

r-          •          11  i  r»  i  i  i  <»i 

States  is  principally  due  to  the  fact  that  the  members  of  these  races 
who   were   miners   in   their   native   countries   are   included   in   this 

classification  ....  ,  , 

The  table  which  immediately  lollows  shows,  by  race,  the  per  cent 
of  I9  968  female  industrial  workers  who  were  in  each  specified  occu- 
pation befof6  coming  to  the  United  States.

Of  the  total  number  of  women  for  whom  information  was  secured, 
the  greater  proportion,  or  44.2  per  cent,  were  farmers  or  farm  laborers 
abroad,  the  employment  of  women  in  this  occupation  being  especially 
marked  in  the  case  of  the  southern  and  eastern  European  races.  On 
the  other  hand,  almost  one-third,  or  32.5  per  cent,  or  the  total  num- 
ber were  employed  in  manufacturing  in  their  native  countries,  this 
industry  being  characteristic  of  the  representatives  of  Canada,  Great 
Britain,  ami  northern  Europe.  Only  a  small  per  cent  of  the  total 
number  were  engaged  in  domestic  service,  while  13.4  per  cent  were 
employed  in  sewing,  embroidering,  and  lace  making.  As  compared 
with  other  races,  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  Portuguese,  Irish, 
and  Slovenians  were  more  extensively  employed  in  domestic  service.

As  the  households  studied  were  selected  with  reference  t<>  the  fact 
that  their  heads  were  employed  in  connection  with  certain  industries, 
the  foregoing  table  is  not  conclusive  as  to  the  industrial  distribution 
of  the  males  and  females.  The  selection  was  made,  however,  in  pro- 
portion to  the  extent  to  which  the  several  races  and  nativity  groups 
were  employed,  and  consequently  the  showing  made  may  be  con- 
sidered a  representative  distribution  according  to  occupation.  Upon 
comparing  the  totals,  it  is  at  once  evident  that  the  greater  proportion, 
or  67.9  per  cent,  of  both  native-born  and  foreign-born  males  were 
engaged  in  manufacturing  and  mechanical  pursuits  representing  38  of 
the  principal  industries  of  the  country.  Moreover,  25  per  cent  of  the 
foreign-born  males  and  15.7  per  cent  of  the  native-born  studied  were 
employed  in  bituminous  or  anthracite  coal,  iron-ore,  copper,  or  lead

and  zinc  mines.  Only  a  small  proportion  of  males  were  studied  in 
connection  with  other  pursuits,  the  investigation  along  this  line  being 
restricted  to  securing  only  a  small  number  of  households  for  the  pur- 
pose of  indicating  the  progress  on  the  part  of  the  immigrant  popula- 
tion and  comparing  the  males  of  foreign  birth  in  trade  and  professional 
or  domestic  or  personal  service  with  purely  industrial  workers.  As 
regards  the  females  in  the  households  studied,  the  larger  proportion 
of  each  nativity  group  were  at  home,  the  foreign-born  showing  the 
highest  percentage  of  women  not  engaged  in  work  outside  the  home. 
A  much  larger  proportion  of  women  of  native  birth,  both  of  native 
father  and  of  foreign  father,  were  engaged  in  manufacturing  and 
mechanical  pursuits  than  of  foreign-born  women.  Of  the  females 
native-born  of  foreign  father,  the  Portuguese  show  the  highest  pro- 
portion, or  70  per  cent,  of  their  women  engaged  in  manufacturing, 
followed  by  60.3  per  cent  of  the  Hebrews  and  50.2  per  cent  of  the 
French  Canadians.  Of  the  foreign-born  women,  the  Greeks  have  the 
greatest  proportion,  or  66.2  per  cent,  employed  in  manufacturing 
establishments,  the  Danish  being  next  in  order  with  56  per  cent. 
The  Portuguese  come  next  with  43.5  per  cent,  followed  by  the  French 
Canadians  with  32.6  per  cent.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  115 


As  in  the  case  of  the  average  daily  earnings,  it  is  seen  that  the 
weekly  earnings  of  the  women  industrial  workers  are  much  lower  than 
those  for  the  men.  The  average  amount  earned  each  week  by  the 
native-born  white  women  of  native  father  was  $7.91,  as  against  $8.11 
for  native-born  female  wage-earners  of  foreign  father,  and  $7.90  for 
women  of  foreign  birth. 

In  addition  to  the  earnings  of  the  adult  wage-earners,  information 
was  also  secured  relative  to  the  average  earnings  of  male  and  female 
industrial  workers  14  and  under  18  years  of  age.  In  the  table  which 
is  submitted  below  the  average  amount  of  weekly  earnings  of  male 
employees  14  and  under  18  years  of  age  is  shown  according  to  general 
nativity  and  race.  Upon  referring  to  the  table  it  is  seen  that  the 
earnings  exhibited  by  the  different  nativity  groups  are  about  the  same. 
Of  the  several  races  of  foreign-born  employees,  the  Croatians  have  the 
highest  and  the  Slovenians  the  lowest  average  weekly  earnings.

It  is  evident  from  a  comparison  of  the  totals  in  the  foregoing  table 
that  the  native-born  heads  of  families  have  a  higher  range  of  annual 
earnings  than  those  of  foreign  birth.  The  greater  proportion  of  the 
former  earn  yearly  between  $400  and  S800,  while  the  annual  earnings 
of  the  greater  number  of  the  latter  are  between  $300  and  $600.  _Of 
the  heads  of  families  who  were  native-born  of  native  father,  or  native 
Americans,  50.8  per  cent  earn  between  $500  and  $800  per  annum.

The  Immigration  Commission. 


In  the  lower  ranges  of  annual  earnings  the  heads  of  families  who 
\\ere  born  abroad  exhibit  a  much  ^renter  |!n»])ortion  than  those  of 
native  birth,  while  in  the  higher  ranges  of  annual  earnings  the  situa- 
tion is  reversed.  Only  2.8  per  cent  of  the  for<'i;_rn-!>orn  heads  of 
families,  as  compared  with  13  per  cent  of  the  total  native-born  and 
14  per  cent  of  those  of  native  birth  and  native  father,  have  yearly 
earnings  in  excess  of  $1,000.  On  the  other  hand,  only  8.5  per  cent 
of  the  total  native-born  heads  of  families  and  5.7  per  cent  of  those  of 
native  birth  and  native  father,  as  contrasted  with  19.8  per  cent  of 
the  total  number  of  foreign  birth,  earn  under  $400  each  }-ear.  The 
races  of  old  immigration  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe 
also  have  a  higher  range  of  annual  earnings  than  have  those  of  recent 
immigration  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe.  This  fact  is  illus- 
trated by  the  following  comparison,  in  which  the  heads  of  families 
of  foreign  birth  are  grouped  according  to  the  principal  classifications 
of  earnings:

a  Not  computed,  owing  to  small  number  involved. 

Upon  comparing  the  totals  of  the  nativity  groups,  it  is  seen  that 
the  annual  average  earnings  of  the  22,938  wage-earners  of  foreign 
birth  in  the  households  studied  who  were  18  years  of  age  or  over 
wore  only  $455,  as  contrasted  with  average  yearly  earnings  of  $566 
for  the  2,059  industrial  workers  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father, 
and  with  $666  the  average  annual  earnings  for  the  1,454  native-born 
white  wage-earners  of  native  father  for  whom  information  was 
received.  Only  a  small  percentage  of  the  last-named  group  were 
earning  under  $400  annually,  while  the  greater  proportion  were 
earning  between  $600  and  $1,000  each  year.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
greater  number  of  wrage-earners  in  all  the  industries  studied,  either 
of  native  birth  and  of  foreign  father  or  of  foreign  birth,  were  receiving 
as  a  result  of  their  labor  less  than  $600  per  annum.  It  is  a  striking 
fact  that  of  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  wage-earners  77.9  per 
cent  were  receiving  under  $600  each  year,  and  43.5  per  cent  under 
$400.  Only  1.9  per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  earned  more  then  $1,000 
each  year,  as  contrasted  with  6.6  per  cent  of  the  native-born  wage- 
earners  of  foreign  father,  and  1 1 .4  per  cent  of  the  native-born  white 
persons  of  native  father,  or  native  Americans. 

The  differences  in  earning  ability  of  the  foreign-born  wage-earners 
of  past  immigration  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  and 
those  of  recent  immigration  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe  are 
quickly  apparent  from  the  division  shown  on  page  122,  according  to 
general  nativity.

The  Immigration  Commission. 


The  average  annual  earnings,  as  shown  in  the  preceding  table,  for  the 
:;,<i09  females  in  the  households  studied  who  were  working  for  wages 
were  $304.  The  earnings  of  the  foreign-born  women  were  much 
lower  than  of  those  of  native  birth,  and  the  earnings  of  the  native-born 
white  women  of  native  father  were  somewhat  higher  than  those  of 
ual  ive  birth  but  of  foreign  father.  A  large  proportion  of  the  foreign- 
born  women,  or  26.4  per  cent,  earned  less  than  $200  per  annum,  and 
the  greater  number  of  female  wage-earners  of  foreign  birth,  or  54.8 
per  cent,  earned  under  $300  annually.  Only  19.1  percent  of  the 
women  of  foreign  birth  who  were  working  for  \vages  received  more 
than  $400  each  year,  as  compared  with  31.4  per  cent  of  the  women  of 
native  birth  but  of  foreign  father,  and  35.8  per  cent  of  those  of  native 
birth  and  of  native  father. 

The  comparative  showing  made  by  the  races  of  the  old  and  of  the 
new  immigration  may  be  readily  seen  from  the  following  classification 
of  the  average  earnings:

Upon  referring  to  the  totals  of  the  foregoing  table,  it  is  seen  that 
the  annual  average  income  of  the  15,726  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  industrial  workers  is  $721.  Of  the  three  general  nativity 
groups,  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  born  abroad  exhibit 
annual  incomes  $161  less  than  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born  white  wage-earners  of  native  father  and  $162  less  than  those 
the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father.  About 
one-twelfth  of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth 
have  an  annual  income  under  $300,  and  about  one-third,  or  33.2  per 
cent,  have  an  income  per  annum  less  than  $500.  Only  16.2  per  cent 
of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth  have  a 
yearly  income  in  excess  of  $1,000.  On  the  other  hand,  only  13.5 
per  cent  of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  native  Americans  or 
of  native  birth  and  of  native  father  and  only  17.3  per  cent  of  those 
the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father  show 
incomes  under  $500  per  annum,  while  54.9  per  cent  of  the  former  and 
52.1  per  cent  of  the  latter  have  an  annual  family  income  above  $750. 
More  than  one-fourth  of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native 
birth  and  of  native  or  of  foreign  father  received  an  income  yearly 
above  $1,000,  but  more  than  nine-tenths  of  the  families  of  southern 
and  eastern  European  races  had  an  annual  family  income  below  this 
amount.  The  comparison  of  the  average  annual  incomes  of  immi- 
grant families  of  the  old  and  new  immigration  may  be  readily  seen 
in  the  following  classification  of  the  principal  races :

Upon  comparing  the  yearly  incomes  of  the  two  classes  of  immi- 
grants, it  is  seen  that  the  highest  average  shown  by  any  race  of 
recent  immigration  is  below  the  lowest  average  shown  by  any  race  of 
past  immigration,  while  in  general  the  average  annual  incomes  of 
the  southern  and  eastern  European  races  are  much  below  the  level  of 
the  British  and  northern  European  races. 

SOURCES    OF    FAMILY    INCOME. 

The  two  tables  which  are  next  presented  take  up  in  detail  the 
sources  of  family  income  and  the  relative  importance  of  the  sources 
specified.  In  this  connection  the  first  table  submitted  shows,  by 
general  nativity  and  race  of  head  of  family,  the  proportion  of  families

Upon  referring  to  the  preceding  table,  it  is  evident  that  almost  all 
families  studied,  or  slightly  more  than  95  per  cent  of  those  in  each 
nativity  group,  had  an  income  from  the  earnings  of  husbands.  In 
the  case  of  income  from  earnings  of  wives,  contributions  of  children, 
or  from  unspecified  sources,  each  nativity  group  also  shows  about 
the  same  proportion  of  families.  The  households  the  heads  of  which 
wTere  foreign-born  wage-earners,  however,  show  a  much  larger  per- 
centage, or  a  proportion  more  than  three  times  as  great,  receiving  a 
contribution  from  the  payments  of  boarders  or  lodgers  as  those  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born  white  persons  of  native  father  or  of 
foreign  father.  The  tendencies  exhibited  by  the  different  races 
become  more  evident  in  the  table  which  is  next  submitted.  This 
table  and  accompaning  chart  show  the  sources  of  family  income  in 
detail  according  to  general  nativity  and  race  of  head  of  family,  and, 
in  contrast  with  the  table  immediately  preceding,  each  source  or  com- 
bination of  sources  specified  is  exclusive  of  all  other  sources.

Total  foreign-born 

One  of  the  most  striking  contrasts  exhibited  by  the  foregoing  table 
is  the  greater  dependence  of  native-born  families  exclusively  upon  the 
earnings  of  heads  than  of  the  foreign-born,  60.3  per  cent  of  the  former 
and  only  38  per  cent  of  the  latter  relying  entirely  upon  the  wages  of 
heads  of  the  family  for  their  support.  The  totals  as  to  the  proportion 
of  families  having  an  income  from  contributions  of  husbands  and  chil- 
dren are  about  the  same  in  the  case  of  each  nativity  group,  the  large 
extent  to  which  children  in  the  families  of  the  races  of  old  immigra- 
tion contribute  to  the  family  support  doubtless  offsetting  the  almost 
entire  lack  of  such  source  of  income  in  case  of  the  families  of  south- 
ern and  eastern  European  immigrants.  The  fact  already  mentioned 
as  to  the  dependence  of  families  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born 
upon  the  contributions  of  boarders  or  lodgers  is  even  more  strikingly 
set  forth  in  the  table  under  discussion  than  in  the  one  preceding,  25.5 
per  cent  of  the  foreign-born  families,  as  contrasted  with  only  6.5  per 
cent  of  the  total  native-born,  having  an  income  entirely  from  husbands 
and  boarders  or  lodgers.  As  regards  the  families  of  the  several  races, 
the  tendencies  exhibited  may  be  more  quickly  seen  by  the  division 
of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born  into  two  groups, 
according  to  whether  the  heads  were  of  old  or  recent  arrival  in  the 
United  States.  In  making  this  division  only  the  principal  races  and 
sources  of  income  are  considered.

The  above  comparison  emphasizes  the  differences  alread}T  noted  in 
the  discussion  for  the  nativity  groups.  It  is  worthy  of  note,  however, 
that  the  families  or  members  of  races  of  old  immigration  from  Great 
Britain  ami  northern  Europe  depend  more  upon  the  earnings  of  heads, 
the  contributions  of  children,  and  the  unspecified  sources  for  the 
family  income,  while  the  southern  and  eastern  Europeans  derive  their 
income  mainly  from  the  earnings  of  husbands  and  the  contributions 
of  boarders  or  lodgers.  The  smaller  dependence  of  the  latter  class  of 
families  upon  the  contributions  of  children  is  probably  due  to  the  fact 
that  children  of  these  households  have  not  in  any  considerable  pro- 
portions reached  working  age.  The  fact  that  a  larger  proportion  of 
old  than  of  more  recent  immigrant  families  depend  upon  sources  of 
income  other  than  those  specified  arises  from  the  fact  that  they  have 
been  in  the  United  States  for  a  longer  period  of  time  and  have  conse- 
quently entered  into  more  diversified  occupations.

Of  27,909  males  in  the  households  studied  who  were  16  years  of  age 
or  over  and  who  were  employed  away  from  home,  the  preceding 
table  shows  that  98  per  cent  worked  three  months  or  over,  90.5  per 
cent  worked  six  months  or  over,  67.6  per  cent  worked  nine  months  or 
over,and  37.1  per  cent  worked  twelve  months  during  the  past  year.  Of 
the  different  nativity  groups,  the  native-born  of  native  father  negroes 
show  the  smallest,  and  the  native-born  of  native  father  white  the 
largest  proportion  working  twelve  months,  nine  months  or  over,  and 
six  months  or  over;  while  less  than  5  per  cent  of  each  nativity  group 
worked  less  than  three  months.  There  is  a  decidedly  wider  difference 
between  the  foreign-born  and  the  native-born  of  foreign  father  than 
between  the  native-born  of  foreign  father  and  the  native-born  of 
native  father  white  as  regards  the  proportions  working  each  specified 
number  of  months;  while,  generally  speaking,  the  foreign-born  stand 
slightly  below  the  native-born  of  native  father  negro. 

Considering  the  foreign-born  by  race,  it  is  seen  that  all  of  the 
Bravas,  Dutch,  Finnish,  Japanese,  Norwegians,  Scotch,  Spanish,  and 
Swedes  worked  three  months  or  over,  wliile  the  Finnish,  Japanese, 
and  Norwegians  are  the  only  ones  of  these  races  which  show  the  entire 
number  as  having  worked  six  months  or  over.  The  Norwegian  is  the 
only  race  showing  their  entire  number  as  having  worked  nine  months 
or  over,  all  of  those  of  this  race  having  worked  the  entire  year.  The 
Bulgarian,  Macedonian,  Mexican,  and  Servian  races  show  the  mini- 
mum proportions  having  worked  the  entire  year,  none  of  the  Mexican 
and  less  than  7  per  cent  of  the  other  races  mentioned  having  worked 
twelve  months.  The  Mexicans  report  only  1 .7  per  cent  of  their  number 
as  having  worked  nine  months  or  over ;  wliile  the  race  showing  the  next 
lowest  proportion  is  the  Servian,  17  per  cent  of  whom  worked  this 
length  of  time.  The  Bulgarian,  Macedonian,  Mexican,  Servian,  and 
Turkish  are  the  only  races  less  than  75  per  cent  of  which  worked  six 
months  or  over,  while  the  proportion  of  each  of  these  races,  except 
the  Mexican,  having  worked  three  months  or  over  is  smaller  than 
that  of  each  other  race  included  in  the  table. 

Considering  the  several  divisions  of  those  native-born  of  foreign 
father,  it  is  seen  that  those  whose  fathers  were  South  Italians  are  the 
only  ones  as  high  as  5  per  cent  of  whom  did  not  work  three  months 
during  the  past  year.  Those  whose  fathers  were  Hebrews  are  the 
only  ones  showing  their  entire  number  as  having  worked  sLx  months

or  over,  although  those  whose  fathers  were  South  Italians  or  Slovaks 
are  the  only  ones  showing  less  than  90  per  cent  of  their  number  as 
having  worked  this  length  of  time.  The  proportions  having  worked 
nine  months  or  over  range  from  50  per  cent  of  those  whose  fathers 
wrere  Welsh  to  93.1  per  cent  of  those  whose  fathers  were  Swedish. 
The  proportion  is  largest  of  those  whose  fathers  were  Hebrews,  next 
largest  of  those  whose  fathers  were  Swedish,  and  smallest  of  those 
whose  fathers  were  Welsh,  as  regards  those  having  worked  the  entire 
year,  74  per  cent,  73.6  per  cent,  and  23.8  per  cent,  respectively,  having 
worked  twelve  months.  Those  whose  fathers  were  Dutch,  English, 
German,  Irish,  or  North  Italians  are  the  only  ones,  besides  those 
whose  fathers  were  Hebrews  and  Swedish,  which  show  over  50  per 
cent  of  their  number  as  having  worked  the  entire  year;  while  those 
whose  fathers  were  Scotch  are  the  only  ones,  besides  those  whose 
fathers  were  Welsh,  which  show  less  than  25  per  cent  of  their  number 
as  having  worked  the  entire  year. 

The  following  table  shows,  by  general  nativity  and  race  of  indi- 
vidual, months  worked  during  the  past  year  by  females  in  the  house- 
holds studied  wiio  were  16  years  of  age  or  over  and  who  were  employed

The  Immigration  Commission. 


Of  4,010  females  in  the  households  studied  16  years  of  age  or  over, 
the  foregoing  table  shows  that  98  per  cent  worked  three  months  or 
over,  93  per  cent  six  months  or  over,  79.8  per  cent  nine  months  or 
over,  ami  50.6  per  cent  twelve  months  during  the  past  year.  Of  the 
different  nativity  groups,  the  native-born  of  native  father,  white, 
show  a  larger  proportion  than  the  native-born  of  foreign  father, 
which  in  turn  show  a  larger  proportion  than  the  foreign-born  working 
each  specified  number  of  months,  the  native-born  of  either  native 
father,  white,  or  foreign  father  showing  slightly  above,  while  the 
foreign-born  show  slightly  below,  50  per  cent  working  twelve  months, 
and  each  showing  over  95  per  cent  working  three  months  or  over. 

Considering  the  foreign-born  by  race,  it  is  seen  that  over  80  per 
cent  of  the  Magyars,  over  70  per  cent  of  the  Ruthenians,  50  per  cent 
or  over  of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  Germans  and  Hebrews,  as 
compared  with  26.5  per  cent  of  the  Portuguese,  and  a  range  of  from 
49.5  per  cent  of  the  Irish  to  32.9  per  cent  of  the  French  Canadians, 
worked  12  months,  or  the  entire  past  year.  Over  75  per  cent  of  each 
race,  except  the  Bohemian  and  Moravian,  Greek,  North  Italian, 
South  Italian,  Portuguese,  and  Syrian,  and  over  60  per  cent  of  each 
of  these,  except  the  Syrian,  worked  nine  months  or  over  during 
the  past  year.  All  of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  over  90  per 
cent  of  each  other  race,  except  the  Greek,  North  Italian,  South 
Italian,  Portuguese,  Slovak,  and  Syrian,  and  over  80  per  cent  of  each 
of  these  worked  six  months  or  over  during  the  past  year.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  all  of  the  English,  French,  and 
Hebrews  worked  three  months  or  over,  the  Slovaks  and  Syrians  being 
the  only  ones  showing  less  than  95  per  cent  working  this  length  of 
time.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  139 

Upon  referring  to  the  preceding  table,  it  is  seen  that  only  a  very 
small  proportion,  amounting  to  but  13.5  per  cent,  of  the  total  number 
of  wage-earners  studied  were  members  of  labor  organizations.  A 
very  slightly  greater  proportion,  less  than  1  per  cent,  of  the  native- 
born  than  of  the  foreign-born,  and  only  one-half  of  1  per  cent  more 
of  the  native-born  white  of  native  father  than  of  the  foreign-born, 
were  affiliated  with  labor  unions.  Of  the  wage-earners  native-born 
of  foreign  father,  the  French  Canadians,  who  are  largely  employed  in 
the  more  skilled  occupations  of  the  cotton  and  woolen  mills,  show  the 
highest  degree  of  membership  in  labor  organizations,  followed,  in  the 
order  named,  by  the  Welsh,  Irish,  Germans,  Slovaks,  Swedes,  English, 
Poles,  and  Bohemians  and  Moravians.  The  large  proportion  of  negro 
unionists  is  not  due  to  any  special  tendency  on  the  part  of  this  race 
to  affiliate  with  labor  organizations,  but  to  the  fact  that  the  greater 
proportion  of  the  small  number  of  negroes  for  whom  information  was 
received  were  miners  in  unionized  localities.

HOUSING  AND  LIVING  CONDITIONS. 

Rent  in  its  relation  to  standard  of  living — Boarders  and  lodgers — Congestion — [Text 
Tables  45  to  57  and  General  Tables  29  to  37]. 

RENT    IN    ITS    RELATION    TO    STANDARD    OF    LIVING. 

The  rent  payments  made  by  the  households  studied  the  heads  of 
which  were  wage-earners  afford  a  valuable  insight  into  the  cost  of 
living,  but  they  are  chiefly  significant  in  their  bearing  upon  standards 
and  methods  of  living.  Of  the  total  number  of  13,122  households 
studied  which  rented  their  apartments,  the  following  table  shows,  by 
general  nativity  and  race  of  head  of  household,  the  average  rent  pay- 
ments monthly  per  apartment,  per  room,  and  per  person:

In  the  table  above  it  is  seen  that  the  highest  average  monthly  rents 
per  apartment,  per  room,  and  per  person  are  paid  by  the  households 
the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  white  persons  of  native  father. 
The  monthly  rent  payments  per  apartment  and  per  room  of  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign 
father  are  practically  the  same  as  those  of  the  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  of  native  birth  and  of  native  father,  but  the  monthly 
rent  outlay  per  capita  is  somewhat  smaller  in  the  former  class  of 
households  than  in  the  latter. 

Without  the  presence  of  any  disturbing  factors,  the  monthly  rents 
per  apartment  and  per  room  would  be  indicative  of  standards  of 
living.  It  may  be,  however,  that  a  high  monthly  rental  is  paid  for 
an  apartment,  but  a  large  number  of  persons  live  in  it.  On  the  other 
hand,  in  the -case  of  the  housing  facilities  in  connection  with  some 
industry,  such  as  mining,  the  company-house  system  may  be  fol- 
lowed, and  the  only  houses  available  consist  of  those  upon  which  a 
iixed  charge  per  room  is  made,  the  rental  for  any  house  being  depend- 
ent upon  the  number  of  its  rooms.  Under  these  conditions  the  rent 
per  person  is  the  only  criterion  of  standard  of  living. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  in  the  case  of  the  greater  number  of  industries 
in  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth  the 
practice  is  adopted  of  crowding  as  large  a  number  of  persons  as  is 
possible  into  the  apartment  or  rooms  in  order  to  reduce  the  average 
outlay  per  person.  As  a  consequence,  the  average  monthly  rent  per 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report. 


143 


capita  affords  an  indication  of  the  congestion  and  of  the  living  ar- 
rangements not  obtainable  from  the  other  two  rent  classifications. 
A  striking  illustration  of  this  situation  may  be  seen  in  the  case  of  the 
Turkish  households  in  the  table.  The  monthly  rent  per  apartment 
paid  by  the  households  of  this  race  averages  $13.70  and  per  room  $2.18, 
but  the  rent  each  month  per  capita  is  only  $1.54,  plainly  indicating 
that  a  large  number  of  persons  are  crowded  into  the  apartments  and 
rooms.  The  higher  standard  of  living  and  the  smaller  degree  of 
congestion  in  households  the  heads  of  which  were  born  in  Great  Britain 
and  northern  Europe,  as  compared  with  those  of  southern  and  eastern 
Europe,  is  exhibited  by  the  following  classification  of  some  of  the 
leading  facts  of  the  table.  The  average  rent  payments  monthly  per 
capita  of  some  of  the  principal  races  of  the  old  immigration  were  as 
follows : 


Canadian,  French $1.  70 

Danish 2.  49 

Dutch 1.45 

English 2.34 

German 1.98 


Irish $1.97 

Scotch : 2.  41 

Swedish 2.38 

Welsh..  1.97 


From  the  above  showing  it  is  seen  that  of  the  races  from  Canada, 
Great  Britain,  and  northern  Europe,  the  smallest  degree  of  congestion 
and  the  highest  standard  of  living  are  exhibited  by  the  Danish,  Scotch, 
and  Swedish  households.  A  considerably  lower  standard  is  indicated 
by  the  Irish,  Germans,  and  Welsh.  The  French  Canadians  fall 
greatly  below  the  three  last-named  races.  The  contrast  afforded  by 
the  comparison  of  the  monthly  rent  payments  per  person  of  the  south- 
ern and  eastern  European  and  oriental  races  is  as  follows: 

Armenian $2.25 

Brava 1.99 

Bulgarian 97 

Croatian 1.  09 

Greek 1.47 

Hebrew 2.26 

Italian,  North 1.  40 

Italian,  South 1.  58 

Lithuanian 1.  47 

Macedonian 78 

Magyar 1.  30 

With  the  exception  of  the  Armenian,  Brava,  Syrian,  and  Hebrew 
households,  which  approach  the  figures  of  the  older  immigrants  in 
their  monthly  rent  payments  per  person,  the  lower  standards  of 
living  of  the  southern  and  eastern  European  and  oriental  races  is 
apparent.  This  is  especially  noticeable  in  the  case  of  the  Croatian, 
Macedonian,  and  Bulgarian,  Mexican,  Roumanian,  Servian,  and 
Slovak.  The  tendencies  toward  congestion  and  its  effect  upon 
living  arrangements  thus  indicated  becomes  more  manifest  in  the 
discussion  of  the  subsequent  tabulations  having  to  do  with  the 
number  of  persons  in  apartments,  rooms,  and  sleeping  rooms  of  the 
households  studied.0

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  145 

The  preceding  table  shows  that  the  average  rent  per  month  per 
apartment  of  the  total  number  of  households,  or  13,122,  paying  rent 
and  reporting  amount  is  $8.96;  the  households  the  heads  of  which 
were  foreign-born  paying  an  average  of  $8.72  per  month  per  apart- 
ment; those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  white  of  native 
father  paying  an  average  of  $11.55,  and  those  the  heads  of  which 
were  native-born  negroes  paying  an  average  of  $4.34.  As  regards 
the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  the  several  foreign  races, 
it  is  seen  that  the  average  rent  per  month  per  apartment  of  those 
the  heads  of  which  were  Armenians,  Cubans,  English,  German, 
Hebrew,  Irish,  Roumanians,  Scotch,  Spanish,  Swedish,  Turkish,  and 
Welsh  is  above  $10.  In  no  instance,  however,  does  it  reach  $14. 
The  average  rent  per  month  per  apartment  paid  by  the  households 
the  heads  of  which  were  of  the  remaining  races  ranges  from  $9.84,  paid 
by  those  the  heads  of  which  were  French  Canadians,  to  $4.58  paid 
by  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Mexicans.  The  average  rent  per 
month  per  apartment  paid  by  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
native-born  of  foreign  father  compares  very  favorably  with  that 
paid  by  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  white  of  native 
father,  only  those  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  Polish 
parentage  paying  an  average  of  less  than  $10. 

The  proportion  of  the  households  paying  each  specified  rent  per 
month'per  apartment  is  merely  a  verification  of  the  average  rent  paid, 
the  relative  position  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  the 
different  nativity  groups  and  different  races  being  maintained 
throughout.  For  instance,  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
of  the  different  nativity  groups,  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born  negroes  show  the  lowest  average  rent  and  also  the  entire  number 
pa3Ting  under  $10,  while  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born 
white  of  native  father  show  the  highest  average  rent  and  also  the 
largest  proportion  paying  $20  or  over.  Among  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  of  the  several  foreign  races,  those  the  heads  of 
which  were  Mexicans  show  the  lowest  average  rent,  the  entire  number 
paying  under  $7.50;  while  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  the  Turk- 
ish race  show  the  highest  average  rent,  none  paying  under  $7.50. 
Although  the  proportion  of  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
Roumanians,  paying  $20  or  over  per  month  per  apartment,  is  larger 
than  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Mexicans,  this  is  more  than 
overcome  by  the  larger  proportions  paying  under  each  other  speci- 
fied amount,  28.2  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Rouma- 
nians, as  compared  with  none  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were 
Mexicans,  paying  under  $7.50. 

The  table  next  presented  shows,  by  general  nativity  and  race  of 
head  of  household,  the  per  cent  of  households  paving  each  specified 
rent  per  month  per  room.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  147 

Of  the  13,122  households  paying  rent  and  reporting  amount,  the  pre- 
ceding table  shows  that  1  per  cent  pay  under  $1 ;  36.1  per  cent  under 
$2;  83.8  per  cent  under  $3,  and  95.7  per  cent  under  $4  per  month  per 
room,  the  average  rent  per  room  being  $2.17.  While  none  of  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  native  father 
negro  pay  under  $1  per  month  per  room,  a  larger  proportion  of  these 
households  than  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  another  nativity 
group  pay  under  each  other  specified  amount;  thus  making  the  aver- 
age rent  per  month  per  room  lowest  in  the  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  native-born  of  native  father  negroes.  Not  a  great  differ- 
ence is  shown  between  the  proportion  of  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  native-born  of  native  father  whites,  or  of  foreign  father, 
or  those  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  paying  each  specified 
amount;  hence  the  average  Tent  per  room  is  $2.24  for  those  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  native  father  whites, 
and  $2.16  for  those  households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born. 

Considering,  by  race,  those  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born,  it  is  seen  that  less  than  10  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of 
which  were  of  each  race,  except  Finnish,  pay  under  $1  per  month  per 
room.  Attention  is  called  to  those  households  the  heads  of  which 
were  Dutch  and  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Finns.  The  former 
show  only  7.1  per  cent,  as  against  32.3  per  cent  of  the  latter,  paying 
under  $1  per  month  per  room.  On  the  other  hand,  the  former  show 
85.7  per  cent  paying  under  $2,  and  97.6  per  cent  paying  under  $3; 
while  the  latter  show  only  62.9  per  cent  and  93.5  per  cent,  respectively, 
paying  these  amounts.  The  average  rent  per  room  is  thus  lower  in 
those  households  the  heads  of  which  were  Dutch  than  in  those  the 
heads  of  which  were  Finns.  All  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which 
were  Bravas  or  Mexicans,  and  over  95  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of 
which  were  Dutch,  Portuguese  or  Turks,  as  compared  with  less  than 
50  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Hebrews,  and  less  than 
75  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Bulgarians,  Roumanians, 
or  Scotch,  pay  under  $3  per  month  per  room.  None  of  the  households 
the  heads  of  which  were  Bravas,  Cubans,  Flemish,  Mexicans,  Portu- 
guese, Ruthenians,  Spanish,  Swedes,  Turks,  or  Welsh  pay  as  high  as 
$4  per  month  per  room,  and  over  90  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of 
which  were  of  each  other  race  except  Bulgarian,  Hebrew,  Rouma- 
nian, or  Russian,  pay  under  this  amount. 

The  table  next  presented  shows,  by  general  nativity  and  race  of 
head  of  household,  the  per  cent  of  households  paying  each  specified

Of  13,122  households  included  in  the  preceding:  table,  16.8  per 
cent  pay  under  $1,  61  per  cent  under  $2,  82.1  per  cent  under  $3, 
and  91.5  per  cent  under  $4  per  month  per  person,  the  average  rent 
per  month  per  person  being  $1.60.  The  households  the  heads  of 
which  were  native-born  of  native  father  negro  show  a  larger  pro- 
portion paving  each  specified  rent  per  month  per  person  than  do 
those  the  heads  of  which  are  of  another  nativity  group,  consequently 
the  lowest  average  rent  per  month  per  person.  Although  the  pro- 
portion of  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign 
father  paying  under  $1  per  month  per  person  is  smaller  than  the 
proportion  of  those  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born 


Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  149 

of  native  father  white  paying  this  amount,  the  proportion  paying 
each  other  specified  amount  is  smaller  in  those  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  native-born  of  native  father  white  than  of  those  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign  father,  consequently  the 
former  show  the  higher  average  rent  per  month  per  person.  The 
average  rent  per  month  per  person  paid  by  the  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  foreign-born  is  above  that  paid  by  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  native  father  negro,  but  quite 
below  that  paid  by  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born  either  of  native  or  foreign  father. 

Considering,  by  race,  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born,  it  is  seen  that  those  the  heads  of  which  were  Mexicans 
or  Bulgarians  each  pay  an  average  rent  of  less  than  $1  per  month 
per  person;  none  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  the  former 
race,  and  only  3.7  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of  the 
latter,  paying  as  high  as  $3.  In  addition  to  those  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  Mexicans,  none  of  those  the  heads  of  which 
were  Roumanians  or  Turks  pay  as  high  as  $4  per  month  per  person. 
Only  those  households  the  heads  of  which  were  Armenians,  Cubans, 
English,  Hebrews,  Scotch,  Spanish,  Swedes,  or  Syrians  pay  an 
average  rent  per  month  per  person  as  high  as  $2.  In  no  instance 
does  the  average  reach  $2.50,  however.  The  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  Bravas,  Cubans,  Flemish,  or  Spanish  are  the  only 
ones  none  of  which  pay  under  $1  per  month  per  person. 

BOARDERS    AND    LODGERS. 

One  of  the  most  significant  features  in  connection  with  the  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  were  of  recent  immigration,  as  compared 
with  the  households  of  the  older  immigrants  or  native  Americans, 
is  the  almost  entire  absence  of  a  separate  or  independent  family 
life.  The  system  of  living  which  prevails  among  the  southern  and 
eastern  European  households  the  heads  of  which  are  wage-earners 
in  any  branch  of  mining  or  manufacturing  in  any  section  of  the 
country  is  that  of  the  boarding  group.  This  method  of  domestic 
economy,  in  the  idiom  of  industrial  communities,  is  termed  the 
"boarding-boss  system."  It  consists  of  a  living  arrangement  under 
which  the  head,  usually  a  married  man,  assumes  charge  of  the  house- 
holds, and  the  boarders  or  lodgers,  numbering  from  2  to  20,  pay  a 
fixed  amount  monthly  for  lodging,  cooking,  and  washing.  The  food 
for  the  household  is  usually  purchased  by  the  head,  each  member 
of  the  group  reimbursing  the  head  for  the  specific  articles  bought 
for  his  consumption,  or  the  total  cost  of  the  food  consumed  is 
divided  equally  each  week  or  month  among  the  members  composing 
the  group.  Many  variations  upon  this  arrangement  are  met  with, 
but  some  form  of  it  constitutes  the  method  of  living  usually  fol- 
lowed by  recent  immigrant  households.  The  wife  of  the  head,  or 
some  woman  employed  by  him  or  the  group,  does  the  cooking, 
washing,  and  housework.  This  group  system  of  living,  which  causes 
congestion,  insanitary  conditions,  and  renders  impossible  any  satis- 
factory form  of  family  life,  is  made  possible  by  the  low  standards 
of  the  recent  immigrants  and  by  their  desire  to  live  as  cheaply  as 
possible,  or,  in  the  case  of  families,  to  supplement  the  earnings  of 
the  head  as  an  industrial  worker.  In  native  American  families,  or 
those  whose  heads  were  native-born  of  native  father,  when  boarders

or  lodgers  are  kept  as  a  source  of  additional  income,  the  payment 
of  a  iixed  rate  of  a  specified  amount  for  board  during  a  certain 
period  is  the  plan  adopted.  'Phis  class  of  families,  however,  usually 
depends  upon  the  earnings  of  the  children  for  supplementary  income. 
Of  the  total  number  of  17,171  families  studied,  the  following  table 
and  accompanying  chart  show,  by  general  nativity  and  race  of  head 
of  household,  the  number  and  percentage  which  had  boarders  or 
lodgers:

The  Immigration  Commission. 


In  the  foregoing  table  it  is  seen  that  only  10  per  cent  of  the  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  white  persons  of  native 
father  and  10.9  per  cent  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
of  native  birth  out  of  foreign  father  have  boarders  or  lodgers,  as 
contrasted  with  32.9  per  cent  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which 
were  of  foreign  birth.  Moreover,  the  showing  for  the  total  number 
of  households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born  is  rendered 
more  favorable  than  it  would  be  if  limited  to  the  households  of  recent 
immigration  by  the  small  percentage  of  boarders  or  lodgers  in  the 
households  of  older  immigrants.  The  relative  extent  to  which 
boarders  or  lodgers  are  kept  by  southern  and  eastern  European  and 
British  and  northern  European  immigrant  households  is  strikingly 
shown  by  the  following  percentages  taken  from  the  foregoing  tabula- 
tion, representing  the  principal  races  of  both  classes  of  immigrants:

None  of  the  races  of  older  immigration  show  as  large  a  proportion 
as  one-fifth  of  their  households  with  boarders  or  lodgers,  while  more 
than  one-fourth  of  the  Brava,  Portuguese,  Slovenian,  and  Syrian 
households,  more  than  one-third  of  the  North  and  South  Italian, 
Polish,  and  Slovak,  and  more  than  one-half  of  the  Croatian,  Lithua- 
nian, Magyar,  Roumanian,  Russian,  Ruthenian,  and  Servian  house- 
holds have  boarders  or  lodgers.  By  far  the  largest  proportion  of 
households  with  boarders  or  lodgers  is  exhibited  by  the  Roumanians 
with  77.9  and  the  Servians  with  92.8  per  cent  of  such  households. 

The  real  significance  of  this  situation  in  its  bearing  upon  conges- 
tion and  living  conditions  does  not  become  fully  apparent,  however, 
until  the  next  table  is  presented.  This  shows,  by  general  nativity 
and  race  of  head  of  household,  the  average  number  of  boarders  or 
lodgers  per  household.  Two  sets  of  averages  are  computed.  The 
first  is  oased  upon  the  total  number  of  households  studied  and 
the  second  is  restricted  to  the  number  of  households  keeping  boarders 
or  lodgers.

Upon  referring  to  the  table,  it  is  seen  thai  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born  white  persons  of  native  father 
have  only  loS  boarders  or  lodgers  to  each  100  households,  and  the 
lolal  number  of  households  the  heads-  of  which  were  native-born 
whiles  of  foreign  father  only  1  <>•_>  boarders  or  lodgers  for  each  100 
households,  as  contrasted  with  353  boarders  or  lodgers  for  each  100 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth.  Upon  com- 
paring the  races  of  recent  and  past  immigration  among  the  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  the  larger  number  of 
boarders  or  lodgers  inthe  households  of  the  former  is  at  once  apparent. 
The  showing  made  by  the  principal  races  of  each  follows:

Among  the  races  of  old  immigration,  the  Germans  exhibit  by  far 
the  largest  number  of  boarders  or  lodgers  per  household.  Of  the 
races  of  recent  immigration,  the  Hebrew  is  the  only  race  approaching 
the  situation  among  the  native-born  households.  The  Greek  house- 
holds show  a  small  average  number  among  those  keeping  boarders 
or  lodgers,  but  as  practically  all  Greek  households  are  board inir 
groups  the  showing  for  the  race  is  more  favorable  than  it  would 
otherwise  be.

A  comparison  of  the  totals  of  the  foregoing  table  discloses  the 
fact  that  the  foreign-born  households  have  a  higher  average  number 
of  persons  per  apartment,  per  room,  and  per  sleeping  room  than 
those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  native  or  foreign  father. 
The  contrast  is  most  marked  between  the  nativity  groups  in  the 
average  number  of  persons  per  room  and  per  sleeping  room.  For

each  100  rooms  the  foreign-born  households  have  138  persons,  those 
the  heads  of  which  were  native-horn  of  foreign  father  85  persons, 
and  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-horn  white  persons  of 
n;i five  father  77  persons.  In  the  case  of  the  sleeping  rooms,  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-horn  show  253  for  each 
100  sleeping  rooms,  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-horn  of 
foreign  father  190,  and  those  native-horn  of  native  father  184  per- 
sons for  each  100  sleeping  rooms.  Among  the  households  the  heads 
of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign  father  the  greatest  degree  of 
congestion  is  indicated  by  the  Polish,  Bohemian  and  Moravian, 
French  Canadian,  and  Dutch  races.  Among  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  were  foreign-born  the  races  of  recent  immigration 
from  eastern  and  southern  Europe  as  a  general  rule  show  a  higher 
average  number  of  persons  per  room  and  per  sleeping  room  than  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  of  old  immigration  from  Great 
Britain  and  northern  Europe.  The  most  crowded  conditions  in  the 
households  are  shown  by  the  Bohemian  and  Moravian,  Bulgarian, 
Croatian,  Macedonian,  and  Roumanian  races.  The  contrast  between 
the  races  of  the  old  and  the  new  immigration  may  be  more  sharply  set 
forth  by  a  division  of  the  several  races  on  the  basis  of  the  average 
number  of  persons  per  room  and  per  sleeping  room,  which  is  made  in 
the  table  which  immediately  follows:

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  159 

The  preceding  table  shows  that  in  the  17,141  households  investi- 
gated there  is  an  average  of  1.30  persons  per  room.  The  average 
number  of  persons  per  room  in  the  total  number  of  households  the 
heads  of  which  are  of  each  nativity  group  is  seen  to  be  largest  in 
those  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  there  being  an  aver- 
age of  1.38  persons  per  room  in  these  households.  Those  the  heads 
of  which  were  native-born  negroes  follow  closely  with  an  average 
of  1.30  persons  per  room,  while  those  the  heads  of  which  were 
native-born  of  foreign  father  show  an  average  of  0.85  person, 
and  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  whites  of  native 
father  an  average  of  0.77  person  per  room.  Considering  by  race  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  it  is  seen  that 
those  the  heads  of  which  were  Macedonians,  Roumanians,  and 
Bulgarians  show  an  average  of  3.15,  2.57,  and  2.53  persons  per  room, 
respectively,  none  of  those  the  heads  of  which  are  of  each  other  race 
showing  an  average  number  of  persons  per  room  as  high  as  2,  although 
all,  except  those  the  heads  of  which  are  Brava,  Cuban,  Danish, 
Dutch,  English,  French,  Norwegian,  Spanish,  Swedish,  and  Welsh, 
show  an  average  of  more  than  1  person  per  room.  The  households 
the  heads  of  which  are  French  show  the  lowest  average  number  of 
persons  per  room,  or  0.88. 

Considering  that  section  of  the  table  which  shows  the  per  cent  of 
households  having  each  specified  number  of  persons  per  room,  it 
is  seen  that  of  the  total  number  of  households,  74.1  per  cent  have 
1  or  more,  23.1  per  cent  2  or  more,  4.9  per  cent  3  or  more,  and  1.1 
per  cent  4  or  more  persons  per  room.  Of  the  total  number  of  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  are  of  each  nativity  group,  those  the  heads 
of  which  were  native-born  negroes  show  the  largest  proportions  having 
1  or  more  and  3  or  more  persons  per  room,  those  the  heads  of  which 
were  native-born  whites  of  native  father  showing  the  smallest  pro- 
portion in  the  first  instance  and  those  the  heads  of  which  were 
native-born  of  foreign  father  the  smallest  proportion  in  the  second 
instance.  The  households  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born 
show  the  largest  proportion  having  2  or  more  and  4  or  more  persons 
per  room,  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign 
father  showing  the  smallest  proportion  in  the  first  instance  and  those 
the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  negroes  and  native-born  of  for- 
eign father  showing  none  in  the  second  instance.  Of  the  households 
the  heads  of  which  are  of  each  race,  those  the  heads  of  which  are 
Bulgarians,  Roumanians,  and  Servians,  with  33.1  per  cent,  18.2  per 
cent,  and  7.2  per  cent,  respectively,  are  the  only  ones  showing  as 
high  as  4  per  cent  having  4  or  more  persons  per  room,  the  households 
the  heads  of  which  are  of  several  races  showing  none.  The  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  are  of  the  same  races,  with  the  addition  of 
those  the  heads  of  which  are  Croatians,  Magyars,  Russians,  and  Ruthe- 
nians,  are  the  only  ones  showing  as  high  as  10  per  cent  having  3  or 
more  persons  per  room,  the  proportions  ranging  from  51.8  per  cent 
of  those  the  heads  of  which  are  Bulgarians  to  10.1  per  cent  of  those 
the  heads  of  which  are  Magyars. 

The  difference  between  the  proportion  of  the  households  the  heads 
of  which  are  of  the  races  of  older  immigration  and  the  proportion  of 
those  the  heads  of  which  are  of  races  of  more  recent  immigration 
having  1  or  more  and  2  or  more  persons  per  room  is  noticeable,  the 
proportion  of  the  former  being  smaller  in  each  instance.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  161 

The  table  shows  an  average  of  2.46  persons  per  sleeping  room  in 
the  17,141  households  investigated,  there  being  an  average  of  2.53 
persons  per  sleeping  room  in  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born,  2.25  in  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born 
negroes,  1 .99  in  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign 
father,  and  1 .84  in  those  the-heads  of  which  were  native-born  whites 
of  native  father. 

In  the  households  the  heads  of  which  are  of  the  several  foreign- 
born  races,  it  is  seen  that  in  those  the  heads  of  which  are  Bulgarians, 
Mexicans,  Macedonians,  Croatians,  and  Roumanians  the  average 
number  of  persons  per  sleeping  room  is  over  3,  and  in  the  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  are  of  each  other  race,  except  Armenian, 
Danish,  English,  French,  Irish,  Syrian,  and  Turkish,  the  average 
number  is  over  2 ;  the  average  number  in  the  households  the  heads  of 
which  are  of  each  of  the  races  excepted  above  being  over  1 .  In  the 
households  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign  father,  the 
average  number  of  persons  per  sleeping  room  ranges  from  2.57,  in 
those  the  head  of  which  were  native-born  of  Polish  parentage,  to  1.81 
in  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  English  parentage. 

That  section  of  the  table  which  gives  the  per  cent  of  households 
having  each  specified  number  of  persons  per  sleeping  room  shows  77 
per  cent  of  the  17,141  households  as  having  2  or  more,  36.9  per  cent 
as  having  3  or  more,  14.6  per  cent  as  having  4  or  more,  5.6  per  cent 
as  having  5  or  more,  and  2.2  per  cent  as  having  6  or  more  persons 
per  sleeping  room.  Of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  are  of 
each  nativity  group,  it  is.  seen  that  those  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born  show  the  largest  proportion  having  each  specified 
number  of  persons  per  sleeping  room,  except  5  or  more  or  6  or  more, 
where  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  negroes  show  the 
largest  proportion.  The  households  the  heads  of  which  were  native- 
born  whites  of  native  father  show  the  smallest  proportion  having 
each  specified  number  of  persons  per  sleeping  room,  except  4_or 
more,  where  those  the  heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign 
father  show  the  smallest  proportion.  Of  the  households  the  heads 
of  which  are  of  the  several  foreign  races,  those  the  heads  of  which 
are  Croatians,  Finns,  Mexicans,  Russians,  Slovaks,  and  Slovenians 
are  the  only  ones  5  per  cent  of  which  have  6  or  more  persons  per 
sleeping  room;  and  less  than  10  per  cent  of  the  households  the 
heads  of  which  are  of  each  race,  except  Bulgarian,  Croatian,  Finnish, 
Mexican,  Roumanian,  and  Slovak,  have  5  or  more  persons  per  sleep- 
ing room.  The.  households  the  heads  of  which  are  of  the  races 
excepted  in  the  statement  immediately  preceding  are  the  only  ones 
25  per  cent  of  which  have  4  or  more  persons  per  sleeping  room,  and 
also  the  only  ones,  with  the  addition  of  those  the  heads  of  which 
are  Magyars,  Russians,  and  Ruthenians,  50  per  cent  of  which  have 
3  or  more  persons  per  sleeping  room.  The  proportion  of  households 
which  have  2  or  more  persons  per  sleeping  room  ranges  from  97.6 
per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  are  Mexicans,  to  35  per  cent  of 
those  the  heads  of  which  are  Danish. 

The  effect  of  crowding  within  the  households  upon  the  living  and 
sleeping  arrangements  is  exhibited  in  the  next  table,  which  shows,

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  163 

A  small  proportion  of  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were 
foreign-born,  as  can  be  seen  from  the  preceding  table,  use  all  rooms 
for  sleeping  purposes,  this  tendency  being  especially  noticeable  in 
the  case  of  the  Bulgarian  households,  63.3  per  cent  of  which  use  all 
rooms  for  sleeping  purposes.  Of  the  Ruthenian  households  12.1  per 
cent,  10.3  per  cent  of  the  Slovenian,  and  16.4  per  cent  of  the  Greek 
households  sleep  in  all  rooms.  Of  the  total  number  of  households 
the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born,  35.1  per  cent  use  all  except 
one  room  for  sleeping  quarters,  this  practice  being  much  more 
prevalent  among  the  households  of  Southern  and  Eastern  Europeans 
than  among  those  of  the  races  from  Great  Britain  and  Northern 
Europe.  Of  the  total  native-born,  less  than  1  per  cent  of  the  house- 
holds use  all  rooms  for  sleeping  purposes,  and  only  10.2  per  cent 
sleep  in  all  except  one  room.  Practically  the  same  situation  exists 
among  the  households  the  heads  of  which  were  immigrants  from 
Great  Britain  and  Northern  Europe  as  that  shown  for  the  house- 
holds the  heads  of  which  were  of  native  birth.

Upon  referring  to  the  foregoing  table  it  is  at  once  evident  that  a 
considerably  higher  degree  of  literacy  prevails  among  the  native-born 
wage-earners  than  among  those  of  foreign  birth.  Of  the  total  num- 
ber of  persons  both  male  and  female  who  were  born  in  this  country 
98.2  per  cent  were  able  to  read  and  98  per  cent  able  to  read  and 
write,  as  contrasted  with  only  77.5  per  cent  of  persons  of  foreign 
birth  with  ability  to  read  and  74.8  per  cent  who  were  able  both  to  read 
and  write.  About  the  same  proportions  of  males  and  females  of  native 
birth,  but  a  somewhat  smaller  proportion  of  foreign-born  women 
than  of  men,  wrere  able  to  read  and  to  read  and  write.  The  native- 
born  negro  shows  a  higher  degree  of  illiteracy  than  the  wage-earners 
of  foreign  birth,  while  the  industrial  workers  of  native  birth  and  of 
native  father,  white,  show  only  a  very  slight  advancement  in  literacy 
over  those  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign  father.  Among  the  repre- 
sentatives of  races  of  foreign  birth  only  62  per  cent  of  the  Croatian 
males  and  56.2  per  cent  of  the  females,  79.8  per  cent  of  Greek  males 
and  41.2  per  cent  of  the  females,  61.9  per  cent  of  the  South  Italian 
males  and  45.6  per  cent  of  the  females,  61 .8  per  cent  of  the  Portuguese 
males  and  57.6  per  cent  of  the  females,  65.8  per  cent  of  the  Ruthenian 
males  and  54.4  per  cent  of  the  females,  56.3  per  cent  of  the  Servian 
males  and  42.9  per  cent  of  the  females,  and  only  4.5  per  cent  of  the 
Turkish  males  were  able  to  read.

A  comparison  of  the  totals  in  each  period  of  residence  shows  a 
considerable  degree  of  advancement  both  in  ability  to  read  and  to 
read  and  write  corresponding  to  length  of  residence  in  the  United 
States.  Of  those  who  had  been  in  this  country  under  five  years,  71 
per  cent  could  read  and  68.6  per  cent  could  read  and  write,  as  com- 
pared with  77.3  per  cent  with  ability  to  read  and  74.4  per  cent  with 
ability  to  read  and  write  of  those  with  a  residence  or  five  to  nine 
years,  and  84.5  per  cent  who  could  read  and  81.5  per  cent  who  could 
both  read  and  write  of  those  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  ten 
years  or  longer.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  169 

A  study  of  the  foregoing  table,  which  reveals  returns  from  45,042 
foreign-born  persons  who  were  10  years  of  age  or  over,  shows  a 
higher  degree  of  literacy  at  the  present  time  among  those  who  were 
under  14  years  of  age  when  they  arrived  in  the  United  States  as 
compared  with  those  who  were  14  years  of  age  or  older.  Of  those 
wrho  were  less  than  14  years  old  when  they  came  to  this  country,  91.7 
per  cent  can  now  read  and  90.7  per  cent  can  now  both  read  and  write. 
On  the  other  hand,  of  those  who  were  14  or  over  14  years  of  age,  only 
74.9  per  cent  can  read  and  71.8  per  cent  can  both  read  and  write  at 
the  present  time.  The  Flemish,  Mexican,  Scotch,  Slovenian,  and 
Swedish  races,  of  all  others,  show  a  greater  proportion  among  those 
14  years  of  age  or  over  who  can  read  or  read  and  write,  but  in  the 
case  of  these  races  the  difference  between  the  two  age  groups  is  very 
small.  The  Norwegians  alone,  without  regard  to  age,  are  all  able  to 
read  and  to  write. 

CONJUGAL    CONDITION. 

The  table  following  shows,  by  sex,  age  groups,  and  general  nativity 
and  race  of  individual,  the  per  cent  of  persons  in  the  households 
studied  who  were  single,  married,  or  widowed.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  173 

Upon  referring  to  the  totals  in  the  preceding  table  it  is  seen  that 
a  larger  proportion  of  foreign-born  persons  were  married  during  the 
age  period  20  to  29  years  than  of  native-born.  The  difference 
between  the  two  nativity  groups  decreases  in  the  next  age  classifica- 
tion, 30  to  44  years,  and  among  those  45  years  of  age  or  over  about 
the  same  proportion  of  both  native-born  and  foreign-born  persons 
were  married.  Of  the  total  number  20  years  of  age  or  over,  only  17.1 
per  cent  of  the  persons  of  foreign  birth  were  unmarried,  as  contrasted 
with  32.4  per  cent  of  those  of  native  birth.  The  same  general 
tendencies  are  exhibited  by  the  totals  for  both  males  and  females 
as  are  shown  by  the  grand  totals.  As  a  general  rule,  among  the 
races  of  recent  immigration  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe,  a 
larger  proportion  of  unmarried  males  is  found  than  among  the  races 
from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe;  while  in  the  case  of  the 
females  this  situation  is  reversed,  there  being  a  larger  percentage  of 
unmarried  women  among  races  of  past  immigration  as  compared 
with  those  of  recent  years.  This  situation  is  probably  due  to  the 
fact  that  most  of  the  women  in  the  households  the  heads  of  which 
were  recent  immigrants  were  either  married  before  their  husbands 
came  to  the  United  States  or  were  sent  for  by  present  husbands  who 
married  them  immediately  upon  their  arrival  in  this  country. 


CHAPTER  VII. 
GENERAL  PROGRESS  AND  ASSIMILATION. 

Ownership  of  homes — Status  of  children  in  the  households  studied — Citizenship — 
Ability  to  speak  English— [Text  Tables  62  to  73  and  General  Tables  47  to  55]. 

OWNERSHIP    OF    HOMES. 

Under  favorable  conditions  the  tendencies  exhibited  by  families, 
the  heads  of  which  were  of  foreign  birth  and  employed  in  the  indus- 
tries of  the  United  States,  toward  acquiring  their  own  homes  may 
be  taken  as  an  indication  of  progress  toward  assimilation  and  of  an 
intention  to  permanently  settle  in  this  country.  It  may  be  true 
that  the  wage-earner  is  living  and  working  in  a  large  industrial  center 
where  the  acquisition  of  property  is  beyond  his  resources.  On 
the  other  hand,  it  is  also  true  that  in  many  industrial  localities, 
especially  in  those  connected  with  the  mining  industry,  the  so-called 
"company  house"  system  prevails,  under  which  the  industrial  worker 
is  practically  not  permitted  to  buy  a  home,  but  must  live  in  a  house 
owned  by  the  operating  company  and  rented  to  him.  Under  these 
and  similar  conditions,  therefore,  racial  inclinations  toward  the 
acquisition  of  property  can  not  have  full  play,  and  statistics  as  to 
home  ownership  based  on  returns  from  heads  of  families  engaged  in 
different  industrial  pursuits  and  in  widelv  separated  industrial 
localities  must  be  accepted  with  some  qualification.  As  a  conse- 
quence, some  reservations  must  be  made  in  the  case  of  the  figures 
in  the  table  which  immediately  follows,  and  an  absolutely  accurate 
treatment  can  be  secured  only  by  reference  to  the  separate  industrial 
studies.  The  tabulation,  however,  showing  as  it  does,  by  general 
nativity  and  race  of  head  of  family,  the  number  and  percentage  of 
families  owning  their  homes,  is  indicative  of  racial  tendencies 
within  certain  limitations.  The  families,  the  heads  of  which  were 
native-born  of  native  or  of  foreign  father,  were  studied  for  purposes 
of  comparison  with  those  the  heads  of  which  were  foreign-born. 
The  table  and  accompanying  chart,  which  is  based  upon  an  investiga- 
tion of  17,628  families,  the  heads  of  which  were  employed  in  the 
principal  divisions  of  mining  and  manufacturing  enterprise,  are  next 
submitted.

The  Immigration  Commission. 


Upon  comparing  the  general  nativity  groups  in  the  preceding 
table,  it  is  seen  that  slightly  more  than  one-fifth,  or  to  oe  exact, 
21. S  per  cent,  of  the  families  the  heads  of  which  were  white  persons 
of  native  birth  and  21.6  per  cent  of  those  the  heads  of  which  were  of 
foreign  birth  own  their  own  homes.  The  families  of  the  second 
generation,  or  those  whose  heads  were  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign 
father,  report  a  slightly  larger  proportion  than  the  two  nativity 
groups  mentioned  above,  or  25.6  per  cent,  owning  their  homes.  A 
very  unfavorable  showing,  by  way  of  further  comparison,  is  made 
by  native-born  negro  families  with  only  4.2  per  cent  of  home  owner- 
ship. The  figures  showing  this  small  degree  of  home  ownership 
among  the  negro  families  should  be  modified  by  the  statement, 
however,  that  a  large  proportion  of  the  families  represented  were 
those  of  bituminous  coal  mine  workers  in  the  Southern  States  who 
had  no  opportunity  to  purchase  homes  if  they  had  been  so  inclined 
owing  to  the  system  of  company  houses  prevailing  in  bituminous 
mining  localities. 

Upon  analyzing  the  figures  for  the  families  the  heads  of  which 
were  foreign-born,  it  is  seen  that  as  a  rule  the  races  of  older  immigra- 
tion from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe  are  more  extensive 
home  owners  as  a  whole  than  the  members  01  races  of  recent  immi- 
gration. The  percentage  of  home  ownership  among  representative 
races  of  the  old  immigration  is  as  follows:

The  geographical  location  of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians  in 
Europe  would  class  them  among  the  more  recent  immigrants,  but 
the  period  of  time  during  which  they  have  been  coming  to  the  United 
States  would  place  them  among  the  older  immigrant  races.  They 
show  the  largest  proportion  of  home-o\vning  families  of  all  races  the 
heads  of  which  were  native-born  of  foreign  father  or  foreign-born. 
On  the  other  hand,  the  Finnish  families,  which  show  a  percentage 
of  home  ownership  amounting  to  56.3,  should  be  geographically 
classed  with  the  older  immigrants  from  Great  Britain  and  northern 
Europe,  but  by  period  of  residence  in  this  country  the  larger  pro- 
portion should  be  termed  recent  immigrants.  Of  the  families  of 
recent  immigration,  the  North  Italians,  Slovenians,  Croatians,  Portu- 
guese, Poles,  Lithuanians,  Slovaks,  South  Italians,  and  Magyars

have,  in  the  order  named,  a  proportion  ranging  from  27.8  to  13.7  per 
cent  which  own  their  homes.  An  almost  negligible  proportion  of 
Kussians,  Greeks,  Roumanians,  Servians,  and  Syrians,  varying  from 
1.2  to  4.7  per  cent  in  the  order  mentioned,  have  acquired  homes. 


STATUS    OF    CHILDREN    IN    THE    HOUSEHOLDS    STUDIED. 

The  two  tables  which  immediately  follow  set  forth  the  general  status 
and  industrial  condition  of  the  children  in  the  households  studied. 
The  first  table  submitted  shows,  by  sex  and  general  nativity  and  race 
of  individual,  the  per  cent  of  children  in  the  households  studied  6  and 
under  16  years  of  age  who  are  at  home,  at  school,  and  at  work.

The  Immigration  Commission. 


Upon  examining  the  totals  in  the  preceding  table  it  is  seen  that  a 
smaller  proportion  of  children  of  native  birth  of  both  sexes  are  at 
home  and  at  work  and  a  larger  percentage  are  at  school  than  is  the 
case  with  the  children  who  are  foreign-born.  In  a  general  way  the 
races  of  older  immigration  exhibit  practically  the  same  tendencies  as 
compared  with  the  southern  and  eastern  European  races  as  do  the 
total  native-born  to  the  foreign-born.  This  condition  of  affairs  is 
largely  to  be  attributed  to  the  relatively  small  proportion  of  children 
among  the  recent  immigrant  races  and  to  the  additional  fact  that 
these  children  are  usually  below  the  working  and  school  age. 

A  comparison  of  the  tendencies  exhibited  by  the  principal  races 
may  be  had  from  the  following  tnbJe,  which  shows,  by  general  nativity 
and  race  of  father  and  by  birthplace  of  child,  the  number  and  percent- 
age of  children  in  the  households  studied  6  and  under  16  years  of  age 
at  home,  at  school,  and  at  work.

Upon  studying  the  tendencies  of  the  several  races  it  is  seen  that  a 
larger  proportion  of  Bohemian  children  who  were  born  abroad  were 
at  home  and  a  smaller  proportion  at  work  and  at  school  as  compared 
with  those  who  were  born  in  the  United  States.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  French  Canadian  children  of  foreign  birth  were  more  extensively 
employed  than  those  of  native  birth,  while  the  smaller  proportion 
were  at  home  and  at  school.  No  sharp  differences  are  noticeable  in 
the  case  of  the  Croatian  children,  only  a  slightly  smaller  proportion 
of  those  of  foreign  birth  being  at  home  and  at  work  and  a  slightly 
larger  proportion  at  school  than  those  of  native  birth.  In  the  case  of 
the  English,  German,  North  Italian,  South  Italian,  and  Scotch  chil- 
dren a  somewhat  larger  proportion  of  those  born  abroad  were  at 
work  and  at  home  and  a  slightly  smaller  proportion  at  school  as  com- 
pared with  those  born  in  this  country.  Of  the  French  a  slightly 
smaller  proportion  of  children  of  foreign  birth  were  at  school  and  a 
larger  proportion  at  work  than  those  of  native  birth.  The  Lithu- 
anians show  the  smaller  proportion  of  children  of  foreign  birth  at 
home  and  at  school  and  a  larger  proportion  at  work  as  compared  with 
children  of  native  birth.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Magyars  exhibit  a 
much  larger  proportion  of  children  of  foreign  birth  at  home  than  those 
of  native  birth,  and  a  considerably  larger  proportion  of  native  chil- 
dren of  this  race  were  at  school  as  compared  with  the  foreign-born.  A 
larger  proportion  of  the  Polish  children  born  abroad  were  at  school 
and  at  work  than  those  of  native  birth.  A  much  larger  percentage  of 
Lithuanian  children  who  were  born  abroad  were  at  work  than  those 
born  in  the  United  States.

186  The  Immigration  Commission. 

The  tendency  toward  a  permanent  residence  in  the  United  States 
on  the  part  of  the  various  foreign-born  races  may  be  readily  seen  by 
a  study  of  the  foregoing  table,  which  shows  that  of  the  6S,942  foreign- 
born  male  employees  concerning  whom  information  was  obtained, 
exactly  one-third  are  fully  naturalized,  and  that  an  additional  16  per 
cent  have  secured  first  papers.  In  other  words,  a  fraction  less  than 
50  per  cent  of  these  foreign-born  employees  have  either  become  full 
citizens  or  intend  to  become  such.  It  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  the 
proportions  of  the  more  recent  immigrant  races  manifesting  an  inter- 
est in  American  citizenship  are  as  large  as  those  of  the  older  immi- 
grants, and  if  considered  as  a  whole  such  is  not  the  case,  although  it 
will  be  noted  that  there  are  a  few  instances  in  which  the  proportions 
of  the  more  recent  exceed  those  of  the  older  immigrant  races.  There- 
fore, on  account  of  the  difference  in  the  length  of  time  these  various 
races  have  been  coming  to  the  United  States,  a  comparison  of  the  older 
with  the  more  recent  immigrants  is  hardly  fair.  For  this  reason  it  is 
considered  best  to  separate  the  races  into  two  groups,  one  including 
all  races  of  older  immigration  and  the  other  all  races  of  more  recent 
immigration.  If  this  be  done  it  will  be  seen  that  about  seven-tenths 
of  the  older,  as  compared  with  about  three-tenths  of  the  more  recent, 
have  either  become  fully  naturalized  or  have  declared  their  intent  to 
become  so.  Although  one  race  may  show  a  much  larger  proportion 
fully  naturalized  than  some  other,  this  other  race  may,  and  in  many 
instances  does,  show  a  much  larger  proportion  with  first  papers  only. 
Therefore  the  only  natural  conclusion  to  be  drawn  is  that  the  one 
with  the  largest  proportion  fully  naturalized  was  quicker  to  appre- 
ciate the  advantages  to  be  gained  by  becoming  citizens  than  the 
other.  This  is  perhaps  better  illustrated  by  the  recent  immigrants 
than  by  the  older.  For  instance,  the  Italians,  not  specified,  show  35 
per  cent  fully  naturalized  and  only  10  per  cent  additional  with  only 
first  papers,  while  the  Austrians,  race  not  specified,  show  22.1  per 
cent  fully  naturalized,  but  an  additional  31  per  cent  with  only  first 
papers.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  the  Austrians  have  in  reality  mani- 
fested greater  interest  in  American  citizenship  than  have  the  Italians. 
For  this  reason  it  is  considered  best  to  combine  the  proportion  of  each 
race  fully  naturalized  with  the  additional  proportion  with  only  first 
papers.  By  such  a  combination  it  will  be  seen  that  the  interest  in 
acquiring  citizenship  manifested  by  the  more  recent  immigrant  races 
ranges  as  follows:

All  races  represented  by  not  less  than  40  male  employees  are  shown 
in  the  preceding  groups,  with  the  exception  of  the  Bohemians  and 
Moravians  and  Finns,  and  as  between  these  two  it  will  be  noted  that 
of  the  former  48.5  per  cent  are  fully  naturalized  and  an  additional 
27.7  per  cent  have  only  first  papers,  as  compared  with  36.5  and  24.7 
per  cent,  respectively,  of  the  latter.  In  other  words,  over  three-fourths 
of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians  and  over  six-tenths  of  the  Finns 
have  either  become  or  intend  to  become  citizens  of  the  United  States. 

The  following  table  shows,  by  race  of  individual,  the  present  politi- 
cal condition  of  foreign-born  males  in  the  households  studied  who 
had  been  in  the  United  States  five  years  or  over  and  who  were  21 
years  of  age  or  over  at  the  time  of  their  arrival  in  this  country:

The  Immigration  Commission. 


Upon  referring  to  the  totals  in  the  preceding  table,  it  is  seen  that 
of  the  total  number  of  8,026  foreign-born  males  only  31.3  per  cent  had 
attained  to  full  citizenship,  and  only  14.4  per  cent  had  taken  the  pre- 
liminary steps  toward  acquiring  citizenship  by  securing  their  first 
papers.  A  hard  and  fast  comparison  between  the  members  of  the 
races  of  the  new  and  old  immigration  as  to  the  degree  of  citizenship 
obtaining  among  them  is  not  altogether  fair  unless  the  length  of 
residence  of  each  class  of  immigrants  be  taken  into  account,  but 
after  making  due  allowance  for  this  favorable  factor  in  the  case  of  the 
races  of  old  immigration  it  is  evident  that  they  evince  a  much  greater 
interest  in  political  and  civic  affairs  than  the  southern  and  eastern 
European  races  which  have  come  to  the  United  States  during  recent 
years.  The  degree  of  citizenship  obtaining  among  the  representa- 
tive races  of  old  immigration  from  Great  Britain  and  northern  Europe 
is  as  follows: 

Fully  naturalized.

given  below:

Among  the  older  immigrants,  the  Swedes,  Welsh,  and  Irish  have 
a  somewhat  higher  proportion  of  citizens,  although  each  race  of  this 
class  has  more  than  three-fifths  of  their  number  who  transferred 
their  citizenship  to  the  United  States.  Among  the  southern  and 
eastern  Europeans  the  Slovenians  and  North  Italians  show  a  much 
higher  percentage  of  citizenship  than  the  other  races,  while  the 
Greeks,  Portuguese,  and  Russians  appear  at  the  other  extreme.  The 
three  last-named  races  also  give  evmence  of  relatively  small  interest 
in  acquiring  citizenship,  the  percentage  of  those  who  have  taken  out 
first  papers  being  comparatively  small.  Of  the  recent  immigrant 
races  of  representative  numbers,  the  Hebrews,  North  Italians,  Mag- 
yars, Croatians,  Slovenians,  Slovaks,  and  Poles,  in  the  order  named, 
display  the  greatest  tendency  toward  seeking  first  papers  of  citizen- 
ship.

of  foreign  birth  to  acquire  citizenship,  which  increases  according  to 
length  of  residence  in  this  country.  Of  the  total  number  who  had  a 
residence  of  five  to  nine  years,  only  6.2  per  cent  were  fully  naturalized, 
as  compared  with  a  degree  of  citizenship  of  56.9  per  cent  of  those  with 
a  period  of  residence  of  ten  years  or  over.  Of  the  total  number  of 
68,942  employees  for  whom  information  was  received,  only  one- 
third  had  become  citizens,  and  only  16  per  cent  had  taken  the  pre- 
liminary steps  toward  acquiring  citizenship  by  taking  out  first  papers. 
With  the  exception  of  the  North  Italian,  no  race  of  recent  immigra- 
tion, with  a  period  of  residence  of  from  five  to  nine  years,  exhibited 
a  proportion  as  high  as  10  per  cent  of  their  number  who  had  been 
fully  naturalized.  The  Swedish,  Irish,  and  Finnish  exhibit  the  great- 
est interest  in  acquiring  citizenship  shortly  after  they^  are  eligible. 
More  than  three-fourths  of  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  Danish, 
German,  Irish,  Norwegian,  Scotch,  Swedish,  and  Welsh  who  had 
been  in  the  United  States  ten  years  or  longer  had  been  fully  natural- 
ized. The  lack  of  political  or  civic  interest  of  southern  and  eastern 
European  wage-earners,  on  the  other  hand,  is  shown  by  the  following 
percentages  of  fully  naturalized  representatives  of  some  of  the  prin- 
cipal races  with  a  residence  of  ten  years  or  longer:

ABILITY  TO  SPEAK  ENGLISH. 

The  extent  to  which  members  of  non-English-speaking  races  are 
able  to  speak  English  affords  one  of  the  most  important  indications 
of  the  degree  of  their  assimilation.  In  this  connection,  the  following 
table  is  first  submitted,  which  shows,  by  sex  and  race,  the  per  cent 
of  246,673  employees  of  foreign  birth  who  were  able  to  speak  English:

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  193 

Of  the  total  number  of  employees  of  foreign  birth  and  of  non- 
English-speaking  races  in  mines  and  manufacturing  establishments, 
slightly  more  than  one-half,  or  53.2  per  cent,  were  able  to  speak 
English.  The  smallest  proportion  with  ability  to  speak  English 
exhibited  by  any  race  is  shown  by  the  Herzegovinians,  with  a  per- 
centage of  only  14.6.  Less  than  one-fifth  of  the  Cuban  and  Spanish, 
and  slightly  more  than  one-fifth  of  the  Bulgarian,  Macedonian,  and 
Turkish  races  were  able  to  speak  the  language.  The  other  races 
which  fall  below  the  percentage  of  53.2  for  the  total  foreign-born 
were  the  Syrian,  Slovenian,  Ruthenian,  Russian,  Roumanian,  Portu- 
guese, Polish,  Montenegrin,  Magyar,  Lithuanian,  South  Italian, 
Greek,  Flemish,  Finnish,  and  Croatian.  Of  the  races  of  southern 
and  eastern  Europe,  the  highest  percentage  of  English-speaking 
ability  is  exhibited  by  the  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  followed  in  the 
order  mentioned  by  the  Hebrews,  North  Italians,  and  Slovaks.  The 
French  Canadians  show  a  higher  proportion  of  members  who  could 
speak  English  than  any  race  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe.  As 
regards  the  races  from  northern  and  western  Europe,  the  Danes  show 
96.6  per  cent,  the  Norwegians  96.5  per  cent,  the  Swedes  94.7  per  cent, 
the  Germans  86.8  per  cent,  the  Dutch  84.2  per  cent,  and  the  French 
64.5  per  cent  with  ability  to  speak  English.  With  the  exception  of 
the  Danish,  the  females  of  all  races,  and  especially  those  of  races  of 
southern  and  eastern  Europe,  show  a  smaller  proportion  than  the 
males  who  can  speak  the  English  language.  Of  the  total  number  of 
females,  only  38.6  per  cent,  as  contrasted  with  55.6  per  cent  of  the 
males,  could  speak  English.  This  situation  is  due  to  the  greater 
segregation  of  the  females  as  compared  with  the  males,  and  their 
lack  of  contact  with  American  life  and  institutions.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  195 

Upon  referring  to  the  totals  in  the  foregoing  table  it  is  seen  that 
more  than  95  per  cent  of  the  persons  of  native  birth  but  of  foreign 
father  were  able  to  speak  English,  a  greater  proportion  of  males  than 
of  females  being  able  to  use  the  language.  On  the  other  hand,  more 
than  52  per  cent  of  the  persons  of  foreign  birth  in  the  households 
studied  were  able  to  speak  English,  and  a  considerably  larger  pro- 
portion of  males  than  of  females  had  acquired  an  ability  to  speak 
the  language.  The  reason  for  the  more  favorable  showing  of  the 
males  as  compared  with  the  females  arises  from  the  fact  that  a  larger 
proportion  of  males  than  of  females  come  into  contact  with  American 
life  and  institutions  through  working  and  otherwise.  As  a  rule,  the 
immigrant  women  are  practically  segregated  in  immigrant  colonies 
and  have  no  association  with  American  life  or  people  except  a  little 
domestic  service.  Of  the  persons  of  foreign  birth  of  the  old  immi- 
gration, the  French  Canadians  indicate  the  least  progress  in  acquiring 
an  ability  to  speak  English.  The  Norwegians  and  Swedes  show  the 
largest  proportion  of  persons  with  English-speaking  ability,  with 
the  Germans  next  in  order.  Of  the  races  of  recent  immigration,  the 
Turks  show  the  smallest  proportion,  or  only  1.4  per  cent,  of  their 
total  number  able  to  speak  English.  The  Bulgarians,  Greeks, 
Japanese,  Mexicans,  and  Servians  also  exhibit  less  than  one-fourth 
of  their  number  with  English-speaking  ability.  Of  the  southern  and 
eastern  Europeans,  the  highest  degree  of  English-speaking  ability  is 
indicated  by  the  Armenians,  Bohemians  and  Moravians,  Hebrews, 
and  Syrians.  Slightly  less  than  one-half  of  the  Croatians,  South 
Italians,  Poles,  Portuguese,  and  Ruthenians  are  able  to  speak  Eng- 
lish. The  Brava  and  Finns  show  the  least  advancement  in  acquiring 
an  ability  to  speak  English.  A  considerably  greater  proportion 
of  males  than  of  females  of  the  Flemish,  North  and  South  Italian, 
Lithuanian,  Portuguese,  Ruthenian,  Slovenian,  and  Slovak  races  can 
speak  English. 

The  table  and  chart  next  presented  exhibit  the  advancement  in 
ability  to  speak  English  made  by  foreign-born  members  of  non-English- 
speaking  races  after  designated  periods  of  residence  in  the  United 
States.  They  show  the  proportion  of  246,673  employees  of  foreign 
birth,  by  sex,  years  in  the  United  States,  and  race,  who  could  speak 
English.

Manufacturing  and  Mining:  Summary  Report.  199 

Upon  referring  to  the  total  in  the  preceding  table  it  is  seen  that 
there  is  a  rapid  advancement  in  the  proportions  of  employees  able 
to  speak  English  corresponding  to  an  increased  period  of  residence 
in  the  United  States.  Of  the  total  number  who  had  been  in  this 
country  less  than  five  years  only  28.6  per  cent  could  speak  English 
as  contrasted  with  59.6  per  cent  with  a  residence  of  five  to  nine 
years  and  83.1  per  cent  who  had  been  in  the  United  States  ten  years 
or  over.  The  smallest  proportions  of  employees  with  ability  to  speak 
English  with  a  residence  under  five  years  are  shown,  in  the  order 
named,  by  the  Cuban,  Portuguese,  Bulgarian,  Turkish,  Ruth  email, 
Polish,  Macedonian,  Greek,  Finnish,  Lithuanian,  South  Italian,  Rus- 
sian, and  Roumanian  races,  all  of  which  fall  below  the  general  show- 
ing for  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  wage-earners.  Of  the  em- 
ployees with  a  residence  of  five  to  nine  years  the  Cubans  exhibit  a 
percentage  of  only  15.1  and  the  Spaniards  of  16.4  with  ability  to 
speak  English,  while  the  French  Canadians,  Montenegrins,  Poles, 
Portuguese,  and  Ruthenians  have  percentages  less  than  that  for  the 
total  number  of  employees  within  this  residence  period.  Of  the  em- 
ployees who  had  been  in  the  United  States  ten  years  or  longer  the 
Cubans,  Spaniards,  Mexicans,  Portuguese,  South  Italians,  Ruthenians, 
Servians,  Syrians,  Poles,  French  Canadians,  and  Magyars,  all  of 
which  have  less  than  four-fifths  of  their  number  able  to  speak  Eng- 
lish, indicate,  in  the  order  mentioned,  the  least  progress  in  ability  to 
speak  English. 

Of  the  males  from  southern  and  eastern  Europe  with  a  residence 
of  ten  years  or  over  the  smallest  proportion  of  employees  able  to 
speak  English  is  exhibited  by  the  Servians,  the  showing  of  the  Poles, 
Portuguese,  Magyars,  and  South  Italians  being  but  slightly  more 
favorable.  The  lowest  percentages  are  found  in  the  case  of  the 
Cuban  and  Spanish  cigar  makers,  of  which  races  almost  three-fifths 
are  unable  to  speak  the  English  language. 

Upon  referring  to  the  totals  for  the  male  and  female  wage-earners 
it  is  seen  that  the  former  not  only  show  a  larger  proportion  than  the 
latter  in  each  period  of  residence  with  the  ability  to  speak  English, 
but  that  the  male  employees  also  exhibit  greater  progress  in  acquir- 
ing the  language  after  specified  periods  of  residence  than  the  females. 
This  condition  of  affairs  is  due  to  the  greater  segregation  of  the 
female  workers  and  their  more  limited  opportunities  for  contact  with 
American  life  and  institutions  as  compared  with  the  males.  Of  the 
southern  and  eastern  European  females  the  South  Italians  exhibit 
the  smallest  proportion  with  ability  to  speak  English  who  have  been 
in  this  country  ten  years  or  longer.  The  Polish,  Portuguese,  Finnish 
and  Syrian  females  make  a  somewhat  better  showing  than  the  South 
Italian,  but  fall  below  the  proportion  for  the  total  foreign-born 
females. 

In  the  table  which  is  next  presented,  the  progress  of  non-English- 
speaking  races  in  acquiring  an  ability  to  speak  English  after  desig- 
nated periods  of  residence  in  the  United  States  is  shown.  This  table 
sets  forth,  by  race  of  individual  and  by  years  in  the  United  States, 
the  per  cent  of  foreign-born  persons  of  non-English-speaking  races 
in  the  households  studied  who  were  6  years  of  age  or  over  and  who 
were  able  to  speak  English.

a  Not  computed,  owing  to  small  number  involved. 

Upon  referring  to  the  total  of  43,249  persons  studied,  it  is  seen 
that  there  is  a  steady  advancement  in  ability  to  speak  English  corre- 
sponding to  period  of  residence  in  the  United  States.  Of  the  per- 
sons who  have  been  in  the  United  States  less  than  five  years,  the 
Syrians,  Bulgarians,  Japanese,  Macedonians,  Greeks,  Spaniards, 
Kuthenians,  and  Russians,  in  the  order  named,  exhibit  the  smallest 
proportions  with  ability  to  speak  English.  On  the  other  hand,  of 
those  persons  with  a  residence  of  five  to  nine  years,  the  Mexicans, 
Turks,  Japanese,  Spaniards,  and  Servians  display  the  smallest  degree 
of  English-speaking  ability;  and  of  those  who  have  been  in  the 
United  States  ten  years  or  longer,  the  Mexicans,  Cubans,  Ruthenians, 
Spaniards,  Slovaks,  and  Slovenians  have  the  smallest  proportion  of 
persons  able  to  speak  English.  The  unfavorable  showing  of  the 
Mexican,  Ruthenian,  Slovak,  and  Slovenian  races  is  largely  to  be 
ascribed  to  the  fact  that  the  greater  number  of  representatives  of 
these  races  are  coal-mine  workers  living  in  more  isolated  localities

than  the  other  races  studied  and  consequently  having  less  oppor- 
tunity to  acquire  the  language.  Of  the  races  of  recent  arrival  in  the 
United  States  the  Syrians  exhibit  the  highest  percentage  of  persons 
with  a  residence  of  ten  years  or  over  able  to  speak  English,  the 
Hebrews  being  next  in  order,  closely  followed  by  the  North  Italians. 
The  table  which  immediately  follows  and  the  accompanying  chart 
show,  by  sex,  age  at  time  of  coming  to  the  United  States,  and  race, 
the  per  cent  of  246,673  employees  of  non-English-speaking  races  who 
were  able  to  speak  English:

204  The  Immigration  Commission. 

The  preceding  tabulations  were  planned  to  show  the  relative  adapt- 
iveness  and  progress  of  immigrants  of  a  younger  as  compared  with 
those  of  an  older  age,  according  to  the  time  of  their  arrival  in  this 
country.  The  significant  fact  disclosed  by  the  grand  total  for  both  sexes 
is  that  a  much  greater  proportion  of  the  immigrants  who  were  under  1 4 
years  of  age  when  they  came  to  the  United  States  are  able  to  speak 
English  at  the  present  time  as  compared  with  those  who  were  14 
years  of  age  or  over  when  they  immigrated  to  this  country.  The 
most  notable  progress  in  acquiring  the  ability  to  speak  English  of  the 
younger  immigrants,  as  contrasted  with  the  older,  is  shown  in  the 
case  of  the  Armenian,  Bohemian  and  Moravian,  Bulgarian,  Finnish, 
French,  Greek,  South  Italian,  Magyar,  Montenegrin,  Polish,  Portu- 
guese, Roumanian,  Russian,  Ruthenian,  Servian,  Slovenian,  and 
Servian  races.  This  condition  of  affairs  is  not  only  due  to  the  greater 
adaptability  of  the  younger  immigrants,  but  also  to  their  greater 
opportunities  in  the  way  of  attending  the  public  school  and  in  mingling 
with  native  Americans.  The  females,  as  compared  with  the  males, 
not  only  exhibit  smaller  proportions  able  to  speak  English,  but  also  a 
less  degree  of  advancement  among  those  less  than  14  years  old  when 
they  arrived  in  this  country. 

The  relative  progress  of  the  younger  or  older  immigrants  in  the 
households  studied,  according  to  their  age  at  the  time  of  arrival  in 
the  United  States,  in  acquiring  the  ability  to  speak  English  is  shown, 
according  to  race  of  individual,  in  the  table  which  immediately  follows.

"  Not  computed,  owing  to  small  number  involved. 

Of  the  total  number  of  foreign-born  individuals  who  were  less  than 
14  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  their  arrival  in  this  country  86.6  per 
cent,  as  shown  by  the  table  above,  can  now  speak  English,  while  of 
those  who  were  14  years  of  age  or  older  when  they  came  to  the  United 
States  only  44.9  per  cent  are  now  able  to  speak  the  English  language. 
The  same  greater  adaptability  and  progress  among  the  younger,  as 
contrasted  with  the  older  immigrants,  is  indicated  in  the  case  of  each 
race,  the  most  marked  difference  in  favor  of  the  younger  immigrants 
being  noticeable  in  the  case  of  the  Brava,  Bulgarian,  Greek,  Magyar, 
Polish,  Portuguese,  Russian,  Ruthenian,  Slovak,  and  Slovenian  races.
