NEW YORK. March 15.-Gov
eminent officials, city health author

cations are in open warfare over
conditions at Ellis Island, the great
est port Of entry for immigrants in
the country.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland. New York
health commissioner, brands Ellis
Island "disease-ridden, a plague
hatchery and a dangerous menace. ."
He makes the flat statement that inn
migrants gather more germs at Ellis
Island than they bring there.
Immigrants tell you they are
treated like cattle.
Welfare workers tell you the same
story. They cite instances OF ill
treatment. neglect, filth. inadequate
accommodations and Incompetence
that seem hardly belevable.
Omcials themselves tell you the
same thing. For the whole system
at Ellis Island has broken down.
There is an open rupture. Officials

Of an incompetent official system.
Go down to Ellis Islandl You
will nnd;
Immigrants herded like cattle in
the nl-ventnated. fetid detention
room.
No separate quarters provided for
mothers with babes in arms.
Vermin on the walls and floors
OF detention room and in dormitor-
les.
Immigrants forced to sleep indis-
criminately two in a bed or on the
floors.
only 100 beds, though the over
night population averages from 1000
to 1000 and often is as high as $500.
No mattresses for beds-only
blankets spread over strips OF STEEL
lnks built in tiers, three high.
Water supply so contaminated,
due to break in main, that officials
will not drink It.
Only six bath tubs for use OF all
the women and small children.
No bath tubs for men; thousands
forced to use 10 shower baths
Lavatories so inadequate that they
are a menace to health.
Many wash basins on upper floor
without a water supply.
only two pumps, with low water
pressure. inadequate against FIRE.
Many immigrants forced to wait
weeks because afdavits and even
money sent by relatives had been
lost.
Faults at Ellis Island are so glar-
ing and their after-effect so pernici-
ous-and so many are responsible
that several Investigations are now
in progress.
And the immigrant, cringing fear
fully I'm the muddle he finds clog
Eing the doorway to America, is the
victim. He comes fun OF hope; he
often leaves the island full OF hate.
Everybody is fighting about the
Immigrant. In many quarters he's
regarded as a sort OF semi-savage.
This is on the general theory that
all immigrants are ignorant peasants
which they are not.
The outstanding ruptures at Ellis
q Island are between Commissioner
Wallis, in charge at the island. and
Mrs Helen Bastedo. director OF well
fare. and between Wallis and Dr.
/ Copeland.
Mrs Bastedo, who represents 10
welfare organizations. blames Wal
lis She has declared war on him.
Dr. Copeland also blames Wallis.
He says the latter has barred him
md all city health authorities from
Ellis Island.
Mrs. Harry NJ. Bremmer. execu-
tive secretary OF the Y. W. c. A.
divisional work for the foreign-born
blames the entire American immi-
grafton system.
So does Mrs. L. Fox Lee. assist
ant in charge OF Y. w. c. A. well
fare workers at Ellis Island. Both
condemn its hith. ineficiency and
red tape.
Byron II. Uhl, assistant immigra
tion commissioner. blames Congress
for not providing sufficient money
He says money is withheld although
the immigration service actually is
self-supporting.
And Commissioner Wallis himself
admits Ellis Island conditions arc
/ very bad.
Wallis calls Ellis Island cess
) Ipooi"-and blames Congress and
Anthony Caminetti. commissioner
general OF immigration at Washing
ton.
