Crisis at Ellis Isle:
Wallis Calls forbid
Immigrant Rush S,oan1ps
Force; Commissioner
appeals to the Capital

Frederick A. Wallis, Commissioner of
immigration at Ellis Island, called the
office Of the Secretary of Labor in
Washington by telephone yesterday and
said that crisis had been reached in
the handling of immigrants at this
port. Hugh Reid, executive secretary,
will be sent here, probably to-day, to
consider the conditions of which Com
missioner Wallis complained.
Commissioner Wallis reported to
Louis F. Post, assistant to Secretary of
Labor Wilson, that the means for han
ding immigrants at the Port of New
York are entirely inadequate and in
tons could be speeded and the con-
gestion alleviated larger quarters must
be provided.
One of the first things the Commits
sioner did to improve the immigration
service at Ellis Island was to find two
guards guilty of neglect of duty for
permitting one of the detained Reds
to escape last Tuesday night They
were dismissed from the service.
His. next move was to summon the
heads of all the departments to learn
how many men would be needed to
handle the increasing number Of immi-
grants and make for their comfort
At the same time he sought more
rigid enforcement of the selective tests
and maintenance of sufficient guards
for the deportees.
He found that nearly 1000 aliens
many of them children, had been de-
tanned over night from one ship
alone and had congested the work
Of the boards of special inquiry. 1t
also was ascertained that 1000 aliens
had to spend last night in quarters
sufficient for only 1900 persons

Raise of lO%
Job E. Hedges, Receiver for
Company, Announces the
Increase, Saying Higher
Fares Must Be Granted
Strike Threat Is Denied
Will Add $500, 900 a Year
to Cost of Operation;
Says Men Are Satisfied

Job E. Hedges, receiver Of the New
York Railways Company, who for some
time has been insisting that his COM
pany could not get along without an
increased fare, made the necessity Of
such increase even more urgent yes
terday by boosting the wages of all
employees 10 per cent. This will mean
an additional expenditure Of 100000
year for the concern. The increased
wages will be paid beginning July IS.
Denies Threats
Mr.. Hedges said that the increase was
not due to any demand or threat on the
part of employees, but as the result Of
series Of conferences extending over
several weeks.
Frank Hedley, president Of the Inter
borough, also chimed in with the an
nouncement that Everything was settled
amicably," and that the men will re-
main 400 per cent Brotherhood"
Where are you going to get the
money!" was the first question asked
Mr.. Hedges.
Getting the money is going to be
quite problem" he replied. "Of
course, the fares on the streetcars will
have to be increased if the roads are
to continue. This raise adds $4,000
to our labor cost, and the only way we
can pay it is by practicing the strictest
economy and by not paying other
charges. We will pay the raise as long
as we cam
35 Per Cent Increase
This increase brings the total Of
wage raises paid the men to 35 per
cent since the signing of their last
agreement, August II, 1918. The award,
which has already been approved by
Judge Julius Mayer of the Federal
District Court, under whose authority
Receiver Hedges is acting, will remain
IN force until December 81, 1921. The
men threatened to strike last summe~
until they were granted a 25 per cent
raise.
The present increase establishes a
maximum wage of Ct cents an hour
for motormen and conductors, begin
ming with their Senth year of service
with the company. The pay for new
men is lsied at 81 cents an hour in
both branches, but by clause in the
contract the receiver reserves the
right to hire men at other than the
scale fixed, provicjd no old men are
discharged to make way for newcom-
ers.
A slightly lower scale is fixed for
the men employed on the storage bat
terry cars, with a minimum of SO cents
an hour and maximum of So cents.
Inspectors, starters, etc, may earn as
high as 73 cents an hour. Certain
classes of sub-station workers may
earn as high as 90 cents an hour. All
rates are fixed for a basic ten-hour
day, but it was explained that on some
runs. known as splits" on which the
running time is divided, they receive
the ten hours pay for eight or nine
hours work. Time and half is to be
paid for overtime. The new schedule
affects $500 employees.

sailors and a boy of fourteen
The Croats were celebrating a ma
tional feast. A group congregated in
an Italian cafe facing a wharf, while
several Italian naval officers were con-
versing near the waterfront. The gay,
boisterous crowd from the cafe sur
rounded the Italian officers shouting:
Down with Italian Imperialism!
Madness apparently seized the
Cloats, who then broke up the furni-
ture of the cafe, smashed the windows
and stock and wrecked the establish
ment. Commander Giuli, of the Puglia
saw the uprising from the bridge of
his ship. He Immediately ordered a
motorboat to set out to fetch aboard
the officers, who were in danger of
harm from the crowd
AS the motorboat neared the wharf
revolver shots were fired from the
crowd. Commander Gull was struck
in the chest and fell. Before the boat
landed he received two more bullets.
The tillerman of the boat also was
struck and killed and the motor craft
was steered in by other sailors. The
Italian officers on the wharf now were
trying their best to escape. AS they
were embarking on the motorboat one
was shot and died later. Two other
sailors were killed in the melee, while
boy bystander in the crowd was
struck by stray bullet and killed.
Meanwhile, the Croats were becom-
ing wilder and wilder and the shout
ing was increasing. They began
Darading and molestino Italian stores
and Italian civilians. The Serb com
mander realized the danger and dis
patched a machine gun squad to dis
perse the crowd. The machine gunners
took up their position, while the
crowds temper cooled. The order was
given to fill the guns and make prep
arations to fire at point in the
crowd. A hurried dispersion followed
and order was restored.

40 Days Rain Seen in

Ancient Tradition Originated
With Attempt to Remove the
Body of Winchester Bishop

Yesterday was ST. Swithin's Day, and
it rained. Accordingly, if the ancient
legend is to be believed, it will rain
for forty days on end.
st. Swithin was an English bishop
who was buried at Winchester in &C
cordance with his desire in a place
where his grave was trodden fiat by
passing feet and the rain dripped from
the caves.
After about century churchmen de-
cided that they would move the saints
body to grave inside a church.
The removal was set for July 15
The day came and it rained, so it was
decided to wait until the morrow. The
next day it rained again, so it went
for forty days. Hence the tradition.
