ArriUal Means Fight
to Beat Quota Figures

As was the case twelve months ago,
the first day of arrivals at the opening
Of the new immigration year was one
Of Quarrels between steamship COM
panies and Government officials, to say
nothing of anxieties and uncertainties
for the steerage argonauts. The losing
or the winning of large sums of money
was involved in the contests which may
be adjudicated only by boards of review
or finally in the Federal courts.
After this years fleet had raced
across to give the Immigration Service
more trouble than it has had since the
armistice, the ships jockeyed for an
chorage Just outside the international
maritime boundary. Without the Am
brose Channel lightship on all of the
night closing the fiscal year, lay the
steamers.
Few slept in the steerage quarters
that night except the youngest children.
Lights twinkled out of portfolios through
the murk Of a thick night. There were
animated conversations. Snatches Of
song, the drumming of guitars and
the sounds Of dancing on the decks were
waited across the waters.
OF q score Of big steamers, a round
dozen of merchantmen were laden with
some 1000 immigrants.
Fog had obscured them throughout
the greater part of the day as they had
carefully felt their way westward from
Nantucket, but all the captains were in
excited wireless communication with
their agents, seeking and receiving in
structions about their dash into port
when midnight should have struck.

I'VE encounter some decidedly hui
morous cases, as well as tragic ones,
in making the law fit the circumstances
that arise. ~. .
Lately five Italians who came over
to make America their very own oyster
found that they couldn't get in ac-
cording to their original plans as the
quota was exhausted, so they took
counsel together on what to do.
They announced with their best
flourish that they We're travelling artists,
admissible under the law, honest opera
and vaudeville singers. One OF the al
legged singers swore by the Statue OF

order Of their arrivals, his company
is fined 5000 for each immigrant de-
ported, and restitution Of fare must
be made to each Of such passengers
who must also be returned home at
the company's expense.
Efforts at cooperation to divide
equitably the immigrant business so
that no excess passengers will be
brought over from the closely re-
stricted regions have failed, largely
because Of the attitude of the Greek
lines. It has therefore become a
matter Of cutthroat competition and
let the devil take those who lag in
the race.

Race for Shore Means
Much to Human Cargo

When befogged dawn gradually
broke over New York harbor, on the
morning Of July /, feet Of such
ships, including several from the
once classic shores Of Greece, were
revealed at anchor. They had slipped
silently through the Narrows after
the stroke Of midnight, in order to be
the first in port with their profitable
human cargoes under the second
years operation of the greatly dis
sussed Dillingham; immigration Act
10 at least three Greek ships,
getting in first after midnight meant
the difference between big profit and
big loss, with heavy fines added by
the American Government.
The business reason for the great
Transatlantic Handicap is not far
to seek. The Dillingham; per centum
law, which has served to cut
down immigration from Southeast
ern Europe by four-fifths, permits
not more than per cent Of the par
ticular nationality in each case resi-
dent in this country as shown by the
1910 census. to enter the United
States in any year, and of the num-
her admissible not more than 90 per
cent may enter in one month.
Because of the intense compe-
tition of the steamship companies
and because Of the economic and
social distress in the Mediterranean
countries, that 20 per cent allotment
is sure to be absorbed in the first
month of the fiscal year in the case
Of immigrants from the latter
nations.

dreamed long Of the land across the

Those who have gone before have
written to say there are no perse-

spoken in this wonderland where the
buildings reach the sky and the
streets surpass any cinema.
In latter-day steerage quarters
one recent morning, on board one Of
these ships, the Conte Rosso, were
1908 men, women and children. They
danced, sang and romped as they
neared the American coast. They
fsasted on herring, bread, cheese
and garlic.
Having miraculously contrived
each to scrape together $3.50, for
steamer passage, minimum landing
capital Of $50 and incidental ex-
penses, and having in many cases
staked their all on this magic Amer
lea, they were now at the gates of
the land Of their high hopes. All
were excited; all in highest ex-
