No Solution Of Servant
Girl Problem In Coming
Of EurOpe'S Thousands

NEW YORK. Juno Though the tide
Of imm lErstion has begun to flow again
into the rnitrf states from Europe 30
that incoming ships hav" their lower
decks crowded with homcscekcrs from
other lands. there IS little prospect that
relief Is in sight for the American
housewife who has been promising her
self a cook or maid-of-all service to
be recruited from the newcomers. At
least that is the opinion OF Superin-
tendent l.. A. Baker, Of the United
States immigration Station on Ellis Is
land.
''Immigration has been increasing by
leaps and bounds" Mr.. Baker said. land
it Is hopeful sign that the aliens ar
irving in this port during the last few
weeks have exceeded tho number going
hack to their native lands by many
thousands. Last week six times as
many came in as qualified 10 leave the
country.
People who think the servant girl
problem is going 10 he solved soon will
he disappointed If they are depending
on the women immigrants from Ireland
and the Scandinavian countries Plenty
of these are arriving on every boat hut
they turn M their noses at the thought
Of mental labor. They have their minds
set on getting work in the better fac
tories. principally thos" manufacturing
luXurics such as candy and women's
| finery. They want to got into places
where employees arc well treated and
into localities where housing facilities
are best, so that they can live on the
scale justified by the high wages paid
them. II employers want TO attract
these classes OF women immigrants
they had better look to the regulations
of their factories for pleasant working
conditions"
Mr.. Baker secuted tho idea that pro-
hihition was one reason why immigra-
tion was not gaining more rapidly. He
said the foreigners were coming in at
about onc-third tho rate OF the year i'm
mediately preceding the European war.
The principal reason why more were
not coming was that tho mon are urS-
entity needed in their own countries,
some of which. notably Poland. arc sup
porting huge armies which use up a
large part or their man power. with the
result that those who are free 10 do
civilian work command wages compar-
/, able to those paid In this country.
The present wave of immigration
originates in about the same countries
as before the war. with the exception
OF Germany and Austria Hungary. Italy
furnishes by far the greatest number.
These are largely unskilled laborers
who find their way into the big cities
all over the country whore they 60 into
the big industries and mines.
Only in the case OF one country is the
outgoing population greater than that
coming In. This Is in Poland. whose
nationals hesiege the Polish consulate
daily in great numbers seeking pass
ports. About 5000 Of these passports
were issued last month and nearly as
many in each of the months preceding
since the first Of the year. They are
