If there is any controversy in the Department of Labor as to where this work should be performed. a knowledge of that controversy has not reached me. and I think if the Senator from Utah has any information concerning the effort of anyone to unfairly take away from the Commissioner of Ilmigration functions that should be discharged by him. and to disciarge them themselves. lie ought to give the. Senate a little fuller information upon the subject. rather than seek td have us reach the conclusion by innuendo. Time fact of the matter is that the provision in this aniendinent transferring these clerks in the Division of Information is a very.proper one. and even the Senator from Utah will see it when I make the simple declaration that when this.work was begun it was applied solely to procuring labor f6r aliens in the United States. and was therefore properly placed in the Bureau of Naturalization. but when Congress reached the cqnclusion that the function was a beneficial one. and that American citizens. as well as allens. should have the benefit of it.. the reasoi for placing it In the Bureau of Naturalization. or fi6r keeping It there. terminated. There is not a reason on this earth. and I challenge the Senator from Utah now to say why any part of this work should be done in the Bureau of Naturalization since it has been extended to citizens of the United States generally. The pioper place for it is where this amendment seeks to put it. andthere is no quarrel in the Department of Labor about it. notwithstanding the innuendoes of the Senator from Utah. The statement has been made by the Senator from Utah that this amendment contemplates a duplication of work.
