Allotment for Month
Filled in FeD Hours

Last weeks beginning Of the sec
ond year of operation of the new
law, which became effective June 3,
1921, found the Greeks, with total
allotment of 329s immigrants for
the year, trying to jam $50, the full
months allotment, into the country
IN the first few hours of the period.
Since the Mediterranean lines now
get a steerage fare of about $3.50
from the farthest ports, or twice
what the first-class passage was less
than a decade ago, the business is
profitable and there is bitter rivalry
among them.
The present fierce competition is
intensified by the fact that If a
steamship commander fails to get
his immigrant charges into port in

Impractica0ility of LaU

The inequalities Of the situation were
evident. Since the Department Of Labor
has inadequate means of holding the
human tide in check at its source, It is
n case of first come first counted. The
early steamer to enter port and claim
its steerage passengers against the quota
from country under the existent rigid
restrictions Is of course treated as a
winner and bears off the spoils.
Another vessel of slower speed, or
that is held up by fog or accident or
poor coal, has to pay the stiff penalties
of loser, regardless of the fact that
she left her home port In good faith
with reasonable alien passenger COM
plement that there was every reason
to believe would be admitted to the
United States.
The spectacle Of last weeks Wild dash
Of the alien steamships and their fight
for favorable position was regarded by
immigration officials as forceful dem
onstration of the impracttcabil!ty of the
new restrictive act. With the many
problems arising, 1t became necessary for
Secretary Davis, of the Department Of
Labor, to appoint a special board of
review to sit at New York and pass on
cases of appeal.
