Mr. President. the Immigration Service yields tile Government a large surplus over what is appropriated. Under the old law the whole immigration fund was segregated. and then Congress passed a law turning in the balance of two or three millions. and it yields a great deal more. This amount is insufficient to employ these furloughed men. They were furlougied owing to the reduction in the number of immigrants caused by the war. The immigration is now increasing again. and. of course. more men are needed. and to keep the service down in this way and force these men on furloughs not only is a hardship on those men. but It impairs the service. They need more men.
