The purpose of this bill is to provide a basis for a permanent annual appropriation of an amount not exceeding the amount received from each court. in the discretion of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. to be used exclusively for clerk hire within that court. so that aliens may be naturalized. Now. Mr. Chairman. I doubt if the great necessity for this legislation is appreciated outside of the large cities. Last year. in the city of New York. men stood in line all night. so that when the doors of the clerks office were opened at 9 oclock in the morning they might stand some chance of being able to reach the naturalization clerk that day. A municipal judge of our city is authority for the statement. In a letter to me. that during those rushes two old and feeble men were killed.
