I think I can satisfy the gentleman from Alabama about this matter. Have I the attention of the. gentleman from Alabama? The gentleman from Alabama and I have substantially the same ideas on the question of immigration. This provision exists in law today. This bill proposes to take out of the hands of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor and put into the hands of Congress the expenditure of the "immigrant fund." The gentleman from New York and I were somewhat fearful that this provision for the enorcement of the contractlabor law might possibly by some Comptroller of the Treasury be held to require vouchers. We especially wished to *avoid that. and to retain this provision for the enforcement of the contractlabor law. I do not think any point of order lies against the provision offered by the gentleman from New York. but if I had not supposed that his amendment certainly would be put in the bill.
