Mr. Speaker. the preamble recites fairly the conditions that exist in the southern district of New York. Those conditions there have given rise to a great deal of complaint. Hundreds of men have gone to the naturalization office for the purpose of having the necessary papers prepared for the purpose of securing naturalization or making their preliminary declarations. and they have been unable to have their matters attended to because of the congested condition existing in those offices. The citizens in New York who have come with the applicants for the purpose of vouching for them. as required by the naturalization laws. have lost days and weeks going to these offices.
