He is perhaps one of the most faithful of all the Representatives upon this floor. but wheni he speaks of the special interests of his constituents as affected by the provisio in this measure. I desire to call his attention to the fact that there are many of us whose constituents are equally interested. but who are also vitally interested in matters not contained in this bill. There was the matter of the Philadelphia immigration station. which I brought to the attention of the House a few days ago. It has been entirely eliminated from the bill. and we have been relegated to another opportunity at another time to provide for the welfare of many human beings who are now suffering for the lack of sufficient hospital accommodations. and pa rticnlarly downhearted human beings who should receive a proper welcome when they come into this country. I have looked over the item referring to mine explosions. contained in this report. and I observe that it has no reference whatever to the mine explosion that happened in the gentlemans State of Tennessee.
