Mr. Chairman. when I moved to strike out the last word. I intended to ask the gentleman in regard to this naturalization. I am afraid that the gentlemans amendment does not cover the case. As I understand it. the amendment only makes an exception of a section in the immigration and naturalization act. but there have been several provisions since. carried in appropriation acts. in relation to clerkhire services in naturalization cases. The immigration act is uncertain and doubtful as to its meaning on this subject. The naturalization cases in New York and Chicago were practically held up. and we passed a new provision in one of the appropriation actsI think it was in an appropriation actand that was not successful. Then. if I remember correctly. we passed another provision in another appropriation act. although I am not sure of that. before we got the question of clerk hire in naturalization cases disposed of. Now. I am afraid. if this provision goes in in the way it is and becomes a law. the result will be that you can not naturalize citizens over in New York after you have naturalized a certain number. Unless the gentleman has exanlied that recent legislation carefully. I would suggest to him that he pass this over antd look that up.
