Mr. Chairman. this is .only a question 6f how the additional clerical force -shall be paid in the current year. As a matter of fact. the Secretary of Commerce and Labor already fixes the compensation for all the immigration officials. the officials in the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization. except these additional clerks. He is just as familiar as is the Committee on Appropriations with the necessity required -for the payment of these additional clerks in the coming year. He is doing it all the time. because under existing law all employees of the Immigration Bureau outside of the city of Washington do have their salaries fixed by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor and not by the Committee on Appropriations. For one year. I think. at least. it is .safe to intrust to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. who is doing it every day. the duty of saying what these salaries shall be.
