TIDE OF IMMIGRATION AGAIN
 FLOWS INTO UNITED STATES

New York, May 31-Though the tide of immigration has begun to flow again into the United States from Europe so that incoming ships have their lower decks crowded with homeseekers from other lands, there is litle prospect that relief is in sight for the American house. wife who has been promising herself a cook or maid-of-all service to be recruit el from the newcomers. At least that is the opinion of Superintendent P. A. Baker of the United States Immigration Station on Ellis Island.
 Immigration has been increasing by leaps and bounds" Mir. Baker said, and it is a hopeful sign that the aliens ar irving in this port during the last few weeks have exceeded the number going back to their native lands by many thou sands. Last week six times as many come in as qualified to leave the coun- try.
 People who think the servant girl problem is going to be solved soon will be disappointed if they. are depending | on the women immigrants from Ireland and the Scandinavian countries. Plenty of these are arriving on every boat, but l they turn up their noses at the thought | of menial labor. They have their minds set on getting work in the better fac l tories, principally those manufacturing | luxuries such as candy and women's fn- i cry. They want to get into places i where employees are well treated and into 1 localities where housing facilities are ! best so that they can live on the scale justified by the high wages paid them. If employers want to attract these classes l of women immigrants they had better look to the regulations of their factories |, for pleasant working conditions"
 MT. Baker secuted the idea that pro- hibtion was one reason why immigration
 was not gaining more rapidly He said | the foreigners were coming in at about one-third the rate of the year immediate ly preceding the European war. The principal reason why more were not com ing was that the men are urgently need
 ed in their own countries, some of which
 notably Poland are supporting huge
 armies which use up a large part of theil
 man power. with the result that those
 who are free to do civilian work com
 mand wages comparable to those paid 1T
 this country.
 The present wave of immigration orig
 mates in about the same countries a.
 before the war, with the exception O.
 Germany and Austria Hungary. Italy
 furnishes by far the greatest number
 These are largely unskiled laborers whc find their way into the biz citiessalt oyel
 the country where they go into the biz
 industries and mines.
 Only in the case of one country i ,the outgoing population greater than tha !, coming in. This is Poland whose na !, tionals besiege the Polish Consulate dail. in great numbers seeking passports
 About 5000 of these passports were is } sued last month and nearly as many il each of the nont4ls preceding since tn } first of the year. They are going back it is generally believed because of home } sickness and anxiety over the welfare 0 t relatives in the war zones.
