So. because of the lack of any provision in the law preventing it. at midnight of the last day of every month there was a line of boats out at the 3mile limit line.. with steam up. smoke bqlching out of the funnels. captain on the deck. all waiting for the stroke of 1.2 In order to make a race for quarantine. The citizenship of our country was determined. not by the quality of the souls on those ships but by the quality of the iron and the steel that made the vessels. the coaling of the furnaces. and the ability of the captains in the race. It was an outrage. In consequence thousands of immigrants were crowded into the buildings which had been made for very much smaller numbers. Of course. there was overcrowding. and many of the things we read about happened. but through no fault of the men in control. Such things can not happen under this bill.
