I would like to ask the gentlemanby the way. yesterday in the House we had up for consideration the sundry civil appropriation bill. My colleague from Illinois offered on that bill 8. 9. or 10 amendments to increase the sanitary conditions. the health conditions. and so forth. over at Ellis Island. where the immigrants really come in. Every one of those propositions was defeated by the Democratic side of the House. by a solid Democratic vote. as against a solid Republican vote in favor of them. and the statement was made that in all likelihood a new immigration bill might be passed. restricting the number of immigrants coming into the country. and the facilities already in existence would be sufficient to furnish all that was necessary. Now. if the Burnett bill or the Dillingham bill passes. does the gentleman think there is any occasion for enlarging the facilities for immigrants in these ports?
