Washington, Dec. 13.-The tide
OF immigration which was ap.
preaching its flood when the re.
striction law went into effect
brought S05,22S aliens into the I'm
tied States in the fiscal year ended
last June 80, according to the an
nual report today of Secretary
Davis of the department of Labor.
This number compared with 49,
Dol in the previous fiscal year AMI
is more than twice the estimate of
100000 which Mr.. Davis makes for
this fiscal year under the operation
of the restriction act.
More than one-fourth of the
aliens admitted last year were Ital-
ians, the number being 222,260, as
compared with 95,145 in the fiscal
year of 1920. Numbered by race,
apart from nationality, the report
says. the Jews arriving numbered
1906.
Chinese Admitted.
Chinese admitted numbered A.
OH, an increase over the preceding
year, but the admissions of Japan
csc decreased from 1865 in 1920
to 10,675 in 1921. In Hawaii the
japanese arrivals showed a slight
increase, with total of $3.50.
The number of aliens in general
deported, the report says showed a
considerable increase, with a total
of 4,517 as against 2,762 for 1920.

Davis says. To enforce the laws
against alien anarchists cost an
additional $4,000, while the de-
portation of undesirables added
1927 900 to the total.
1.-THE bureau of immigration"
says the report, raises complaint
as to smuggling and surreptitious
entry of aliens The 'seamen route
is a favorite device. That is, they
arrive as sailors and manage to
disappear In the depths of the coun-
try. Many others arrive at MeXi
can ports and sneak across the
border. Several hundred of these
were arrested and deported during
the year as rigorous deportation to
the country of origin has been
thought the only effective means of
breaking this practice"
Citizenship Petitions.
Aliens filing petitions for citi-
zenship during the year number
19S,530, while the number of de-
claration of intention was 304,481,
an increase of 1875 over the num-
Der in the previous year
Citizenship training activities of

to 1896 communities over the
country, Mr.. Davis says, but "in-
dustrial unrest resulted in a re-
duction in the number who awaited
of these benefits, the
total this year being 117,073.'
Despite the cost Of handling the
aliens, Mr.. Davis says his depart
ment was more than f-sustaining
during the year The total expenses,
covering appropriations by con-
gress, amounted to $6,660,S8S, while
balanced against this were receipts
as follows: immigration head tax,
$5,712,763; naturalization fees
fines for attempted evas-
ion of the immigration laws, $751;
All, and forfeiture Of bonds SAL
600.
Reviewing the activities Of the d.
vision of Cancellation, the labor
secretary notes that during the year
conciliators were asked
to adjust ASH industrial disputes,
ranging from the strikes in the
packing and shipping industries to
minor differences, involving only
score of men. These disputes, 1t
Is stated, affected 420,745 workers
and 172,261 workers indi-
rectly and in only forty-eight cases
were the conciliators unable to
reach a settlement.
More Conciliators.
Secretary Davis asks congress
for means and authority to add adj
litional conciliators. He also urges
that additional funds be appropri-
lted for the United States employ
nent service. declaring that "the
has already organized |
within itself, a means of meeting
he problem of unemployment |
which could be made available at
once with an appropriation of ST.
0,000."
