I have here. and I shall put it into the RECORD. because it is too long to now read. a statement prepared by the Public Health Service in connection with its hearings before the Committee on Appropriations as to its present activities. There seems to be an impression that they are not now engaged in the study of vocational diseases. but in point of fact. as I just stated. they have already done much along that line and are proposing to do much more. The Public Health Service not only looks after the health of all of the American seamen and gives to those who are sick free hospital attention. but it examines as to the physical healthfulness of all immigrants that come Into the United States. It has made investigations of women and child labor in the United Stltes. It has made investigations in regard to trachoma and the sanitary conditions of certain workers in the iron ranges in Minnesota.
