These convicts for smaller offenses are sent there. while the convicts for severer offenses go to McNeill Island and Fort Russell. This will. cost the Government not I cent. It simply transfers it to the Department of Labor for an Immigration station. The buildings will be ready to be used at once by the inmigration station. The Immigration station is now located on Angel Island. some distance from San Francisco. They have there wooden buildings. and while It Is a nice location. it Is wholly insttfficient. It Is now used for Asiatics and others. but when the canal is opened there will be a great Influx .of iinmigration. and the idea is that this island and the buildings be turned over to the Department of Labor. I want to call the attention of the House particularly to the fact that the War Department asked for this transfer. and it has so reported. The Bureau of Labor wants the island and the buildings for an immigration station. The Committee on Military Affairs have reported favorably upon the bill. It is now upon the calendar. and at the first opportunity I gettonight.
