If the gentleman from Massachusetts were correct in stating that this provision only applies to one year I can see a good rfeason for it. but I think that is not the case. This provision which the gentlemen have put in the bill will give the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. so long as it remains the law. the power to fix the salaries in this particular Bureau. to ifix them at whatever he may please. and give him a lever which he will use. as we all know. to increase salaries. not only in the Bureau of Immigration. but throughout the Department of Commerce and Labor. a power which will extend. because every Member of Congress will be constantly told that such and such an official in the Bureau of Immigration receives .such a salary and "I have work of equal value and I want my salary increased."
