Spaulding. did come. He suggested an amendment and said he thought it was quite important. especially along the Canadian line. and on his recommendation the committee put in the amendment. Immediately afterwards. and after the bill had been reported to the Senate. the chairman of the Committee on Immigration came to me. and I think to other members of the committee. and said it was regretted that we had inserted the provision. that the Committee on Immigration had been considering the subject and would soon report a bill which would not be in harmony with this provision. whereupon. as there was some little anxiety expressed on the part of the chairman. after consultation among members of the Committee on Appropriations. I was authorized to allow the amendment to go out when the bill came up in the Senate. That has been done. I have nothing more to say about it. I do not think the committee will have any feeling about it one way or the other. except we felt that we ought to allow the Committee on Immigration to control the subject. as they were especially investigating it.
