BUNETTI will give me his attention. I will tell him what the condition is. because I am satisfied that after I tell him what the condition is. he will agree. . The appropriations for the enforcement of the act. for 1914. were $2.550.000. for 1915. $2.649.000. and for 1916. $2.450.000. the latter being the smallest. and rightly so. because immigration has dropped off. Out of that reduced appropriation of $2.450.000 every single employee in the field in the Immigration Service has been furloughed without pay at least a month during this fiscal year. and those reductions have amounted to $110.000. In addition to that. vacancies have occurred through death. resignations. and transfers. amounting to $70.000 more. which have not been filled. making a total of $180.000. Now. if they really wanted this work done. they could have taken those men in the civil service and had them do the work instead of laying thiem off.
