Mr. Chairman. the gentleman is perhaps correct in thinking that Congress is trying to get away from that system. Such part of Congress. however. as is comprised in the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization is not. We have deliberately in the immigration bill retained the provision by which the Secretary of Commerce and Labor can fix the salaries out of the fund appropriated. Now. so far as this particular section is concerned. I personally should not object to it if it were so limited that after one year the Appropriation Committee. which is so anxious to have this additional duty. should have the privilege of fixing those salaries. but unless the amendment of the gentlemuan from Massachusetts is so amended as to leave the present section operative for a year I hope that the committee will vote it down.
