The English and American Newspaper Press have recently published numerous articles reflecting, in no measured terms, upon the conduct of the Emigration Trade by the Atlantic Lines. Those articles have alleged that abuses of the worst kind exist ; that the ships are over-crowded; that the sexes are not separated; that gross immorality prevails among the Passengers, who are "huddled together like sheep, and treated like pigs;" that the ventilation is insufficient, the food bad and unwholesome, and the water impure ; that the passengers are ill-treated by the crew ; that the emigration officers do not perform their duty, and exercise no real supervision over the emigrant steamers ; and that there is great mortaUty amongst the passengers. Newspapers ot high position have not scrupled to make these assertions ; and the most injurious practices and motives have been imputed to the Atlantic Lines, who are alleged to be actuated by the greed of gain alone. These allegations have been ecnoed and re-echoed across the Atlantic, they have been quoted in the various Provincial News- papers, and in the Newspapers of Foreign Countries which supply emigrants to America, (more especially in Germany, where they have been widely spread by the Government of that country for political purposes,) and they cannot fail to have had a great effect on the public mind. As, however, these statements are in all material points false PJ I and unfounded, and proceed from persons who have no real know- ledge of the facts, and as they are calculated most seriously to injure the reputation of tho Atlantic Lines and to discourage Ejaigration, it is necessary that the actual facts of the case should be placed upon record. In stating those facts, the Lines in question desire to protest in the strongest way against the injustice of such attacks, and to repel the charges made against them which have received such wide puhlicity. It is now upwards of twenty years since Emigrants first began to cross the Atlantic in Steamers, and for some years later the majority were still carried by Sailing vessels. But this is now entirely changed, and during the year 1871, 96 per cent, of the total number of Emigrants to North America, proceeded in steamers. The number of steerage passengers so carried last year from Great Britain to North America was about 200,000. They were con- veyed in 520 outward voyages ; the number in each voyage averaging about 385. Nearly all of these passengers were carried by the following Atlantic Steam Lines : — The British and Nort'u American Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. (Cunard Line.) The Liverpool, New York and Philadelphia Steam-Ship Co. (Inman Line.) The Montreal Ocean Steam-Ship Co. (Allan Line.) The National Steam Ship Company. The Anchor Line oi Glasgow. The Liverpool and Great Western Steam Co. (Guion Line.) The White Star Line. It is from these Companies that this statement proceeds. There is no doubt that great abuses did exist, and if the reports of recent investigations by the American Officers of Emigra- tion be true, do still exist in the emigration trade as conducted by Sailing Ships. With a view of preventing those abuses the Passenger Act of 1862 was passed. This statute was repealed in Packet 1856 by an act contnining more full and elaborate proviflions for the protection of thy emigrant. The Act of 1855 was supple- mented 1 , one in 1868. These two statutes contain numerous stringent and well-considered regulations conceived in the interest of the emigrant, and are applicable to steamers as well as to sailing vessels. They provide amongst other things for the proper construction and equipment of the vessel, the state and sufficiency of her machinery, stores, boats, and crew ; the quantity and quality of the provisions, the supply of water, the daily allowance of food and water to passengers; the arrangement and size of berths; the due separation of the sexes ; proper supply ot light and ventilation, and a number of other matters of a like character. The Acts provide heavy penalties for breach of the rules laid down ; and con- tain full provisions for informing the emigrant of his rights; and a speedy mode of redress in case of any breach of contract by *'he shipowner. The regulations are carried ouo 'nder the super- vision of a staff of Emigration Officers at the port of departure, whose duty it is to see that their provisions are obeyed and assist the emigrants by giving information or advice, and enquiring into complaints. On arriving in America, the emigrants are received by Immigration Officers of the United States or Canada, as the case may be, whose business it is to protect the emigrant in like manner, and who are veiy active in the performance of their duty. This system has been found to work very satisfactorily. Under it the emigration trade, so far as it is worked by steam, has been conducted so much to the satisfaction of the passengers that emigration has largely increased, and has for some years reached smh an extent as to permit the Companies concerned to fix the fares at the low rate of £6 6s. per adult passenger. At the same time, the steamers employed have increased greatly in size, power, speed, and convenience, and are now, undoubtedly, the finest specimens of the Mercantile Marine afloat. The several !■ fleets of tlio Companios above mentioned, amount in burden (gross measurement) to upwards of 801), 000 tons, and number some i25 vessels. The Atlantic Lines depend very greatly upon pas- senger traffic ; they are more exclusively devoted to that class of business than any other existing steam linos, and there is great competition among them. Whether it is probable that in •view of their own interest, these Companies would conduct their business in the disgraceful manner which has been publicly sug- gested, is left to common sense and impartiality to decide. With these general remarks it is now proposed to reply to the principal charges which have been brought forward against the Emigmtion trade. OVERCROWDING.— Under the Passenger Acts, steerpge pas- sengers can only be berthed upon two decks. Upon the upper o{ those decks the number of passengers must not excoed the pro- portion of 1 passenger to every 15 clear superficial feet of deck allotted to their use ; upon the lower of such deyks it must not exceed the proportion of 1 passenger to 18 superfi^jial feet, and if the lower deck is less than 7 feet high, the proportion is increased. As both passenger decks of the Atlantic steam ars invariably exceed 7 feet in height, each passenger has considerably over 100 feet of cubic space on the upper passenger deck, and a still gi'eater cubic space on the lower. Furthermore the number of passengers is restricted by the proportion of space clear for -^pen air exercise on the upper deck. One nev^spaper pictured *he emigrant as stumbling helplessly ovei the cattle and stores piled on the deck. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Atlantic Lines do not carry cattle, and allow no stores on deck. All the space is kept clear for passengers. Before the ship can receive from the Board of Trade hor Passengsr Certificate under the Merchant ^hipping Act, she is surveyed by Government Surveyors, not only as to her structure, machinery and equipments, but also as to the number of passengers she is entitled to carry and her Passenger Hi n Certificate, which must be exhibited in a prominent part of the ship, st.ites that number. In case of there being passeiigors in excesf: of the proper compk^.c'nt, the master or owner is liable to penalties. The Passenger Certificates must be renewed peri- oiically, a fresh survey being required on each occasion. The Government emigration survey is additional to and independent of that by the Board of Trade. The emigration oflicer goes through and measures a new ship, and fixes the number of emigrants which she can carry on each deck and each compart- ment. Before each voyage he checks the number actually on board, by the previous measurement. In cases where the com- partments and berths of emigrants are permanently fixed, the number of passengers allowed in each room is marked upon the outside. The ohip cannot proceed to sea without the certificate of the Emigration Officer that the provisions of the Act as to the \" T "^ ■P Certificato, which must be exhibited in a pnminent part of the ship, states that number. In case of there being passengers iu excess of the proper complement, the master or owner is hable to penalties. The Passenger Certificates mv.st be renewed peri- odically, a fresh survey being required on each occasion. The Government emigration survey is additional to and independent jf that by the Board o*" Trade. The emigration officer goes through and measurjd a new ship, and hxcs the number of emigrants which she can carry on each dock and each compart- ment. Before each voyage he chocks the number actually on board, by the previous measurement. In cases where the com- partments and berths of emigrants are permanently axed, the number of passengers allowed in each room is marked upou the outside. The ship cannot proceed to sea without the certificate of the Emigration Officer that the provisions of the Act as to the number of passengers and ail other matters have been complied with. There is not only an Emigration Survey et Liverpool, but also at the p".t of call in Ireland, so that there is a double check. There is, therefore, not only no over crowding, but, as above shewn, there cannot be any such thing. SEPAEATION OF THE SEXES : TREATMENT OF FEMALE PASSENGERS.~The Passenger Acts contain clear and minute provisions on this subject. All the dingle male passengers must either be berthed in the fore part of the ship, in a com- partment completely divided and bulkheaded off from the space appropriated to other passengers, or in separate rooms. This rule is strictly obeyed. With regard to married couples, the general practice is to require the wives to berth with the single women, and the husbands with the single men. Some lines insist on this ; others allow several married couples, on their own special application, to berth in the same room. On some lines a sliding door, when pushed forward, encloses the passage between two ■/./' ■■l>n<,l lh,;i,l f;,sl," ,,|' 1st OclnKcl-. JS72.

The crew are rigidly excluded from the steerage dm-ing the voyage. This rule is most thoroughly enforced. They have no communication whatever with the passengers, and nothing at all to do with them. The state- ments which have been published upon this subject are so entirely unfounded, that the real fact is that complaints of the conduct of the crew towards passengers are entirely unknown and unheard of. Owing to the confined space on board ship, the passengers are necessarily thrown much together on the voyage ; but the proceedings of all are from that circumstance so subject to observation that there is the most ample check upon any attempt at improper conduct. The passengers are under constant supervision, and every opportunity is given for complaint. There is not the least danger of contamination to the female passenger. She is just as safe on board as if she were in her own village. Beyond the careful separation ci the sexes, the protection of women, and the duo maintenance of discipline amongst the passengers, it is impossible to go. There must necessarily be amongst steerago passengers a large number of people used to a rough life, and who are not very refined in their manners; and some whose moral character is not of the highest kind. It is not in the power of the shipowners to soften their manners or change their characters. Some of the correspondents whose letters have appeared in the newspapers, appear to make it a matter of complaint that this Is not done; and some even seem to suppose that the Shipowner is in fault for the rolling of the vessel, and the sea -sickness of the passengers. VENTIIjATION.— The Emigration Officers have full discretion under the Act to require that the ventilation shall be sufficient, anu that proper ventilating apparatus shall be supplied. The supply of fresh air below is plentiful, and tLe only difficulty which 9 the captain has to contend with on this score is the occasional attempts made by passengers to stop up the ventilators. It should be mentioned that the air is supplied by both up and down-cast ventilators, and also by windsails ; and as there is a considerable space left between the tops of the berths and partitions and the deck above, a constant current of fresh air can by this means be kept in motion over the whole area of the sleeping apartments. It may also be stated that every day the steerage is thoroughly cleaned out and aired. FOOD AND WATER. — The Act gives a dietary scale and provides that particulars of the food to be supplied shall be printed on the passenger's ticket, so that he can tell in a moment if he is not receiving that to which he is entitled. All the Companies give food additional in amount to that required by the Act, and of a higher quality. The pro- visions are inspected by the Emigration Officer at the port of departure, who sees that they are proper both in quality and quantity. The best fresh meat, bread, and vegetables are supplied, and butter, biscuit, sugar, tea, and coffee. There is no limitation in the quantity allowed, although the Act admits of a limit. Great quantities of food being necessarily cooked together the cooking cannot be as perfect as that in wealthy establishments on shore, but it is as good as is practicable. That the food and cooking are appreciated by the passengers, is shown by the fact that the consumption of food per head is very large. The water is of course fresh, every voyage, and Were is an abundant supply. The food is served by the Steerage Stewards (a large staff of whom exe kept,) by distribution into the cans of the passengers, in somewhat the same way as is done in public institutions on shore. With so many passengers it would be impossible to adopt any other plan. HEALTH OF PASSENGERS.— One Doctor is always carried, and when the number of passengers is large it is cusiomaiy to ri I f M 10 carry two. Hospital space is provided for the accommodation of passengers who are ill, and proper medical stores and comforts are carried on every voyage. Cases of illness on board are rare. The Captain and Doctor attend daily in the steerage. No epidemic has occurred on board of any of the Steamers of the Atlantic Lines since I860, although from that year to the present time they have caried nearly 1,500,000 passengers. The death-rate last year among emigrants carried in these Steamers was less than 15 per 1000 per annum ; that is, taking the average length of the voyage at twelve days, and assuming that the passengers passed the whole year at sea, the whole rate of mortality would be as above- mentioned. This is a much lower rate than that prevailing in large towns or even in country places. When it is remembered how many of the emigrants are women, children, and old people, this low death-rate will be found to be most important evidence of the manner in which emigrants ere fed, berthed, and treated, on board the Steamers of the Atlantic Lines. INSPECTION BY GOVERNMENT SURVEYORS.— It has been said by the Newspapers that the Surveyors neglect their duty, and that the inspection is a sham. There is not a word of truth in this statement. The duties of the officers are most carefully perfoimed. It is impossible to answer a general and vague statement of this kind more in detail : but the Emigration Board is a public department of the Government and will know what the facts are. By the foregoing statement it has been shown, that the health of the emigrant is fully provided for ; that the female passengers are properly cared for and protected ; and that comfort and convenience appropriate to the reasonable requirements of the passengers, and to that to which they are accustomed on shore, are supplied. The passengers are carried across the Atlantic, a distance of three thousand miles, in ten or twelve days, at a higher rate of speed, and in larger and finer steamers, than are 11 to be found in any other mercantile service in the world — vessels which are most costly both to build and to work, and which have to be kept in the highest state of efficiency. They are so carried in almost perfect safety (casualties being almost unknown), and at a very cheap rate. The rest is a matter of demand and supply. If the public who now travel in the steerage are willing to pay more, they can have more space at their disposal, more elaborate cooking, and luxuries of every description, by taking their passage in the cabin ; or second class accommodation can bo provided for them, if they choose to pay for it. But as a body they do not care for luxury and are not willing to purchase it. They want to get across the Atlantic as cheaply and rapidly as they can, and as long as they are well fed, properly treated, and their health cared for on the passage, they ask for no more. If additional space and luxuries are provided, the price of the steerage must be increased and emigration must be diminished. It is for the steerage passengers to make their own choice in the matter. It is a mistake to suppose that all such passengers are emigrants ; or that all emi- grants are ignorant and helpless people who do not know their rights, or anything of the voyage across the Atlantic. Many steerage passengers have crossed several times, and are perfectly aware of what is due to them, and would strongly resent treatment which fell short of that to which they are entitled. A very large number of emigrants have received from their friends in America pre-paid tickets and full information about the voyage, and what they consider as the best steamer to cross in, so that they -have the benefit of the experience of those interested in their welfare. There is great competition amongst the Atlantic Lines, and if any one of them were to neglect the comfort of its passengers in the way which has been supposed, it would at once sufi'er severely from that cause. There can be little doubt that the emigrant class is satisfied with the present arrangements. Occasionally fTt f^ m S '. 18 there may be a grumbler who would grumble under any ciroum- stances, or a sea-lawyer who would practise his vocation anywhere. These are found, however, as often in the cabin as in the steerage. Again, when persons who are used to luxurious living on shore, and who ought to travel as cabin passengers, choose to go in the steerage, they must expect to encounter something different from that to which they are accustomed. It is impossible to satisfy an " amateur emigrant." But complaints from ordinary steerage passengers, whether emigrants or not, are extremely rare. It is not denied that stewards may sometimes neglect their duty ; that, in the difficulty of dealing with large numbers of passengers, discomforts may sometimes arise; or that some just cause of complaint may occasionally occur. But this is inevitable. The Companies, however, do all that they can to prevent everything of th; kind. They make careful regulations to secure the comfort of their passengers, and give strict orders for the carrying of them out. They" do their utmost to see that those regulations are obeyed, and are ready to punish any breach of them, and to enquire into any reasonable complaint. If com- plaints are (as has already been stated) exceedingly rare — not- withstanding the opportunities that are offered on the ship, and by the presence of government officers amongst the passengers at the ports of departure and arrival, ready and anxious to enquire into any grievance, and notwithstanding the information which the steerage passenger derive from his contract ticket, and the advertisement of the Company as to his rights — it may surely be assumed that, as a general rule, and in the vast majority of cases, there is no just ground for discontent of any kind. The Atlantic Lines believe this to be the case. They are however, desirous of making every improvement in their power, and do not pretend that perfection is yet reached ; but they maintain that their conduct has been most unjustly represented, 18 jT ciroum- mywhere. steerage, on shore, to go in different to satisfy steerage re. It is ty ; that, issengers, cause of ible. ) prevent to secure 1 for the hat those breach of If com- ire — not- ship, and passengers uxious to afoimation ,ct ticket, ights — it d in the discontent They are^ jir power, but they spresented, and that the public has been entirely misinfoi-med upon the subject by the statements contained in the Press. It is to their interest to make their passengers comfortable : competition is severe amongst them, and they vie with each other in attempts to do so. They a-e most ansious to succeed, not only for the sake of their own prosperity, but because they are desirous of conducting their business in a fair and liberal spirit, to do their duty towards the emigrant, and provide for his comfort and weU- being as much as possible.
