I remember that when in Budapest I saw letters in which instructions were given to those purchasing tickets how they were to escape from their country and how to make their way to the point of departure. that is. the point of departure of the steamer which they were to take. There is no question but what they have been very active. and the bill under consideration provides for meeting that evil. When I spoke as I did regarding the large numbers coming to the United States during prosperous periods I had in mind the opinion which is prevalent in the country that the steamship companies have brought vast numbers that have been placed at their disposal by the governments of Europe and have simply dumped them in New York without knowledge or purpose on the part of the immigrants as to where they were going or what employment they would find. I do not think that such is the fact.
