Chairman. as was remarked a while ago. the smuggling business has recently increased to an alarming extent all along the border. In many instances it is necessary that a very different class of men be employed than those who come under the regular civilservice examination. While I was a member of the Immigration Commission With the gentleman from New York . I remember that we fomal along the Mflexican and Californian border a regular pool or tmust in smuggling. that some of our own inspectors were in it. that for $150 they allowed a Chinmnman to come in. Somebody got to cutting the -price. bringing them in for $50. and they got into a row among themselves. and in that way the matter became known.
