From April to November 1921, for

two To three applicants.
The placement division Of the Board
of Education had TWO TO FOUR

this time-which proved we'll fitted to
his style. This was distinctly emo

brought out the last drop Of pathos,

Tod Denies Urging
Abolition of Alien
Board of Appeals
Immigration Commissioners
Says Everything Possible
Will Be Done TO Speed
Barred Immigrants Cases

Robert f. Tod, Commissioner Of I'm
migration NJ Ellis Island, in denying
n report he had recommended to the
Secretary of Labor the abolition Of the
Board of Immigrant Appeals at the
station, said yesterday it was his inten-
ton to do everything possible to see that
speedier disposition is made Of cases
where aliens have been denied adms-
sion and have appealed from that de-
cison
The Ellis Island commissioner has
suggested a conference, to be held at
an early date with the Secretary of
Labor, the Commissioner General and
himself, when the question Of restoring
the board probably will be taken up.
1t was abolished after operating two
weeks
Mr.. Tod said that instead of asking
for the abolition of the Board of Immi-
grant Appeals he had actually request
ed it's creation, with the hope of re-
ducing congestion at the island and
eliminating the delays experienced
when the appeals of aliens are handled
through Washington.
ut is very necessary" said Mr.. Tod,
that something be done to expedite
final disposal of the cases of appeals
of immigrants who have been excluded
by the boards of special inquiry. | am
aware the law gives the Secretary of
Labor alone the power of discretion
that is, of admitting aliens under bond,
or otherwise, after they have been ex
Guided by the boards of special inquiry
But as long as there is board in
Washington to review the cases and
make recomm -ndations to the Secre-
tary of Labor it would be just as legal
to have another board at the main
gateway, and far more advantageous,
because the Ellis Island board could al
ways be on the ground and come face
to face with the aliens, instead of hav-
ing to depend upon the written record
solely for it's conclusions"
Commissioner Tod added he did not
oppose the formality of sending the
reports of the Ellis Island board
through the Office of Commissioner
General Husband" to the Secretary of
Labor, but he did oppose sending such
reports to the Commissioner Generals
Office only to have them sent to the
other board of appeals functioning in
Washington.
