Speech #630041886

The commissioner general was not even missed. so far as we have been able to learn. The Secretary informed the Attorney General that 1)e asked Mr. Caminetti if it would not be possible for him to secure a postponement of his sons trial until the next term of court. so that he could attend the trial of his son and on the same trip inspect the Immigration Service on the Pacific coast. Therein becomes apparent the remarkable nalvetC of the Secretary of Labor. Of course if the commissioner general were to leave Washington to go to San Francisco to attend the trial of his son at this time he would have to pay the expenses of the trip out of his own pocket. but if the case could be postponed until autumn. when he could attend the trial of his son and on the same trip inspect the Immigration Service on the Pacific coast. he would be making the trip in the interest of the Government service and the Government would pay his expenses. Thrift! Thrift!
