RUSH TO U.S.A.
IMMIGRANTS’ HARDSHIPS (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, July 21. Some idea of the problem set the United States in coping with the enforcement of the immigration law, can be gained from the fact that twentyeight thousand immigrants were admitted to Ellis Isand alone during the first three weeks of July. A hundred inspectors worked day and night subjecting the incomers to minute examination. Twelve hundred immigrants, a considerable number of whom are British, have been detained pending a decision of Washington authorities in their cases. Large numbers of these will be deported. Owing to the large numbers of arrivals and the limited accommodation many immigrants suffer great discomforts especially recently during the prolonged heat spell, despite the efforts of the officials to reduce the suffering to a minimum.
