FIRST SHIPS IN IMMIGRANT RUSH REACH NEW YORK
Most Congested Period In El- lis Islands History
 Seen Ahead

NEW YORK, June 29.-A strange gold rush began to gather Friday in outer New York harbor. It was the immigrants, 15,000 strong, lining up for the July dash to America gold paved" streets.
 Carrying bedding packs instead of pemmican, TOO of Europe's hopeful sons and daughters arrived on the Polonia, 40 hours ahead of time. Drawing the inside track in Satur- days midnight race to quarantine, the Baltic American liner cast anchor off the bathhouse shacks of Gravesend Bay. where the wanderers gazed with curiosity at the astonishing archl- lecture of that suburb.
 The near reaches of the Atlantic are dotted with other liners, hurry ing more of the submerged thousands from the old country who may be among the lucky to gain entry in the new quota opening July 1. As steam - ship companies are gambling on their chances of getting in their immigrant eargoes, 1t is likely that hundreds, probably thousands, will obtain only glimpse of Manhattan's Elusive ivory towers before making the tragic pilgrimage back across the Atlantic.

 House Unnecessary

LONDON. June 29.-"Take it from me. they're just ordinary human clay like anyone else. They talk like you talk-only little worse and they do everything you do"
 Thus George Lansbury, labor leader. pleaded for British royalty in opposing a motion at the labor con- ference that the King, Queen and royal family were nonessentials in Britain.
 Lansbury gave them approval He declared that he had sat at the same table with a Prince and a Queen, and had sat behind two princes at a football match, finding them all regular people.
 Labor refused to vote on the question which had been raised in a motion introduced by the Mddleboro delegation. urging the convention to decree that the royal family is no longer necessary part of the Brit ish constitution, and that the labor party is asked definitely to state it's views regarding the matter"
 Remarking that every member of Parliament took the same oath in the House of Commons to uphold the constitution, ''as by law appointed" he added that "Lne of these days. perhaps by law appointed. you may not have King and Queen"
 The motion was abandoned.
 Later in the day Ramsay MacDon- aid was elected chairman of the la bor party executive committee.
