SECOND CABIN RULE
TO STAY SUSPENDED
steamship Lines Object to
Sending Passengers Direct
to the Island.

J. X. Dcnsmore and other members Of
a committee appointed by Secretary OF
Labor Wilson held n hearing at Ellis
Island yesterday on the plan Of sending
all alien second cabin passengers 20 the
island instead Of permitting them to
land at the piers as heretofore. lmmi-
Commissioner Frederic e. Howe
and Commissioner-Gencral Caminetti
made an effort TO have the new rule
enforced. gu, Il was suspended at 'he
request OF the steamship companies, the
Hotel Mems Association, the railroad in
,erests, the MARTINI. Exchange and the
Produce Exchange. which bodies sent a
dei.gat.un TO Washington and requested
a hearing
Herman Winter, representing the
steamship lines, said the proposed rule
would work a hardship on the com
panies. which were willing to do any
thing within reason that the Government
desired. Mr.. Winter declared Nat in
norma! times the capacity Of Ellis Island
was taxed by immigrants travelling in
the steerage and hat the addition OF
second cabin passengers would hold up
the steamship Inns. as they would nave
TO keep the second cabin passengers
aboard until they could be received AT
the island.
Mr.. Densmure said that on many steam
ships there were no places where An
adequate examination of aliens could ne
made. and the reports Of insane asyIurs
and other institutions showed that a
large number Of inmates who were Tor
eigners might have been excluded II they
had been properly examined. Mr.. Win
ter said the lines would be gla to pro
vide proper facilities for eNaminAaNns
either on the piers, or the steamships
Ellis Island, he said. did not have q
good reputation in foreign countries. ant
many tourists who travel second class
would book passage to Canadian port:
If the order were put into effect.
Mr.. Densmore said the order wou!'
remain cancelled until the Department
OF Immigration felt sure a proper IN
| spection could not he made on th'
| steamships or piers. A conference be
tween the immigration ant
the steamship lines committee VIII b
held soon to discuss means or improv
! ing facilities for examination.
