Speaker. about a week ago I brought before the House the question of a certain resolution which I had introduced relative to getting some information from the Department of Labor concernlng Ellis Island. and I announced that I purposed to get.the resolution reported or have a roll call. I desire to say to the House that it will not be necessary to have a roll call. but that the resolution will not be reported. The chairman of the Committee on Immigration arranged a compromise by which the department sent to that committee the documents for my inspection upon my agreement not to give to the newspapers any information contained In the documents relative to the investigation. I agreed. with the reservation that I might and wouild give information to the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. The information was sent. I looked it over. I gave the infor.. ination *to the House Committee on Immigration. and. in my judgment. the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization ought to go further and get the remaining information. which. I think. is. still in -New York. and ought to take some action on the astounding conditions which the record discloses. . During the recent campaign the Commissioner of- Immigration at Ellis Island challenged me to a joint debate. It was had and it wasAnteresting. During it he made two. remarks which challenged my attention.
